A couple of notes about this stitch map: The multiple yarn over in row 1 has 4 sts worked into it on the next row, so it's actually very large. Also, on row 12, the star symbol really means that the st left from the initial BO is moved over from the right needle to the left needle before the yo and is included in the p2tog. It's based on a pattern found on pp 380-381 in Barbara Walker's Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns, so you can compare notes with that, but I still love the stitch map because I can see where the yo's line up and see the basic structure of the design.
