Eight Stitches

[bairnsidhe]

 This poem was prompted by fuzzyred on the Writing Under Glass event.

Eight stitches

Eight stitches single crochet

Eight stitches of soft loops

Double crochet four chains

Loops on loops full and soft

Eight double crochet

Four chains and four spaces

In the chain spaces

The open gaps waiting for finger wiggles

Ten half double crochet

Instructions chain like crochet stitches

Nine front post half double crochet

Around the double crochet

Continue around like this

Eight half double stitches times ten

Eight front post half double times nine

First half double pulled tight

Hiding an invisible join

Eight stitches of soft loops

Eight stitches single crochet

Eight stitches

Bloom

I'm glad! I even snuck in a flower for the other prompt!

:D And I can *almost* see how to go from words to an actual flower.
