Would have liked to see how to create a beautiful stitch——NOT listen to someone ramble on in an language I don’t understand! Maybe a written copy of instructions???

I agree. And I’m not sure if I missed it, but what yarn is this?

Where is the written pattern for this stitch ? It would make learning this stitch very easy if a person were to have a written pattern in front of them. When will you post the written pattern for this stitch ? ?

I don’t speak or undstand Spanish, so is there any way to add subtitles or a printed pattern?? I would really love to make this since I’ve been searching for a pattern like this for a while.

Is there a printed pattern somewhere in English? I love this pattern, but can’t find pattern anywhere.
Ms. Minnie Dalton
