First thoughts:

Even though I enjoy working from a chart, I found this pattern was easier and quicker when I wrote it out. This yarn was a pleasure to knit and I plan to make myself one in shades of pink/maroon when I’ve finished Sam’s blue one.

Written Instructions for Chart B:

I’ve attached the written instructions for Chart B. This helped me immensely and I thought others may appreciate it as well.

I didn’t include the “B” for Place bead. Those stitches were simply knitted. Also, instead of ssk, I did k2tog for all the / and \ rows. The reason is because I find it easier to k2tog and I didn’t think it made that much of a difference. I think it would be easy to replace if preferred.
