**Someone in Mexico e-mailed me and asked if I could translate my pattern into Spanish. Here it is. I know there are mistakes since translating my patterns is not something I ordinarily do. The person in Mexico understood my translation so I guess it's passable. However, it makes me think that I should consider doing this to all my patterns.***
