I hope this will be clear enough and that I haven't made any errors. It's my first original pattern that I actually wrote down (I usually do it in my head, but can't remember how to recreate it!). If you have to fudge a little to make it work, then feel free. This pattern is free for any personal, gift, charity, or profit use, as long as I am given credit as the author of the pattern. Have fun!
