I wrote up the pattern for Flowertot (LGT Rav) and with a few tweaks, was really proud of it. And it looks like a coherent pattern! To make it a really useful pattern though, I have to grade (size) it to be knittable for bigger babies. I kind of fluked through it the first time, so I hit a "math snag" while working on the grading. I can't think how to write out the section clearly - I settled for letting the knitter know how many stitches to increase over how many total stitches, and I hope that's good enough.

All this grading/math has left me feeling pretty inadequate about my math/pattern writing skills. I can only imagine someone a little more limber with numbers looking at it and figuring it out right away. Like knitting, I hope that pattern writing (and associated math) gets easier with practice.
