Wild

I like to design stitch patterns. Most of them are based on a method of encoding words as numbers, and then turning those numbers into charts. Once a month I design a stitch pattern from a word suggested by my Patreon backers.

This month I got sneaky and did a two-for-one: Wild and Wilderness. Wild is rows 1-8 of Wilderness, but I've put up a separate stitch map for Wilderness because it looks sufficiently different by itself.

More in this blog post.

Shown with a cast-on count of 36 stitches.   Getting chart...
