Cherry Stitch

from Barbara Walker's 3rd Treasury--page 166

Note: Stitch Maps has this as a multiple of 8 sts + 9. However, this pattern is actually a multiple of 8 + 1--the final repeat ends in a different stitch so I had to parse a second repeat to show this.

Shown with a cast-on count of 25 stitches.   Getting chart...
