Wow, I love this How to Make a Cross Stitch tutorial. It looks so easy to do and the pictures make it great! I made a cowl using the Cross Stitch, but my crosses were in front not from the back, but it still looks great. Now that I know the right way to make the stitch, it will look better. I want to make the man's scarf with the pattern above, it looks so unique I have to do it. Thank you so much for this free crochet tutorial.
