I love this pattern. It's just so different and so very pretty. Done in white it would make a great christening afghan. I also like the fact I don't have to go digging to find the pattern and directions. It's right there. I copied and pasted it in a snap and then I down loaded it to my iPad. Now I can do it whenever.

It would really help a lot if you put spaces between each row.

I had no trouble with this pattern. I have made many things using this stitch,its very easy once you get it in your head. Just take your time and do it over and over. If you are having trouble with the word"MISS" that means to skip a stitch. I hope that this helps you ....... Patsy( gagirl) Scott
