Free Charts | Orchid Motif
| June 14, 2018 | Filled under Free Charts |
After seeing a dozen unfinished patterns this morning, I noticed that all stitch diagrams have been drawn long time ago, but practically all patterns are still without written instructions…
And I thought, what if add to my patterns a kind of patterns with stitch diagram and short explaining if needed only?! I know, it is not a typical pattern style here, and sure written instruction will be finished as soon as possible. Everything is still in development, but I did a little sample for you as I see it and offer you the Orchid Motif pattern.
Let’s vote! Please, put in the comments:
1 – if the stich diagrams are enough for you
2 – if you prefer the written instructions or both.
Thank you so much and enjoy!

Have a fabulous weekend!!!
