Pond

I didn’t work a stitch count for this pattern because a stitch or two out wouldn’t make a difference, and there would be so much counting.

To Make Up

Weave in ends. Decorate as desired.

And there’s the finished pond. I’ve also decorated it with some other appliques and made it in different sizes.
