Freebie for you - Sim's Snowboarder

Sim's Snowboarder, copyright 2007 by Val Campbell

This is my first knitting design! Can you tell what it is?

I designed it for my long-time friend, Simone, who absolutely loves snowboarding. (Shhh! It's a gift for her this Christmas!)

It was meant to be a dishcloth, but it turned out a bit larger. I knitted it up with 4mm needles in Bernat's "French Blue." Its dimensions are 9 1/2" wide by 12" long, unblocked. Enjoy!

Val, thank you for the freebie! I'd looked all over for a cross-stitch snowboarder pattern to make into a Christmas ornament for my nephew. I was able to take your knitting instructions and make them into a x-stitch chart. It's just the right size and will look real nice. Thanks again. Pam
