What was your inspiration?

I have had this pattern, by Bonita Patterns, in my Craftsy library just waiting for me to download. This was the month!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Wonderful 2 row repeat pattern! Not for the newbie, however.

I would suggesting going on YouTube and watching a video if this is your first attempt at crocodile stitch. This is the video I used

I'm not sure you can complete the fringe on the pattern without another skein, so buy one extra than the pattern suggests.

Evelyn, thank you! Once you get the hang of it, it really is quite easy and you can zip along without looking at the pattern.
