Stitch pattern #4

Pin It

Hi everybody, thanks for your response to my stitch pattern series, but I know I haven't been regular with my posts. I am a procrastinator, I can never plan anything ahead and I always put off things until the very last moment. I prepared this tutorial only a couple of hours ago. I had to hurry up with my photographs since it was getting dark and I was losing the natural lighting. My house right now looks like one that had been hit by a hurricane. There are papers strewn all over the floor and clothes and books covering all flat surfaces. I don't know when I will learn to be more organized. 

Recently I found that the blog list from my sidebar disappeared. I know a few other bloggers also had the same issue. Even if I try to add it again it won't show in the blog. I don't know what to do about it. 

Okay now back to the pattern. Use any yarn and a suitable hook. As always the pattern is written in standard American terms.
