Stip Step Square 7"x7" inches

[champygirl]

Hi, I was getting some dragons done, using my own "Yellow Dragon" pattern and while working on the wing part inspiration hit. I thought to myself the wings sort of look like stairs when turned at a certain angle and thought it would be neat if I could incorporate it into a square. After a few trial and errors to get it squared I finally came up with this. If anyone finds any errors in the pattern please send me a pm. Thanks.

 

Stip Step Square

Note: This square can easily be adjusted to be any size. To make a smaller square just minus by 2 chains, to make a bigger square just add by 2 chains. Just make sure you chain ½ inch (or inch depending on your gauge) shorter than the actual size, to make room for the border.
