Now available as a download for $3.50 via my Lulu storefront! You can order a printed brochure via Lulu as well, but the cost is much higher. If there is a lot of interest, I may do a run of printed patterns for sale, so let me know if you'd prefer to buy a printed pattern. This pattern has been knit by pattern testers as well as illustrated and formatted by Cindy Moore, so hopefully there are no errors. If you find one, please let me know. Enjoy!

I really like the way your patterns are laid out. I am taking a lesson from you on basic layout. LOL I need to spruce my "delivery" up.

The pattern says to do a double moss stitch, but the double moss stitch shown (k1, p1) is a single moss (seed) stitch. A double moss would be (k2, p2). Which should be used?

Laura, I emailed you. It looks like the same name gets used for different variations - confusing, isn't it?
