~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SPECIAL STITCHES:
X St: skip one st, dc in nest st, 1 dc in st just skipped..

There are 2 ways you can create this X st

#1: skip one st, dc in next st, 1 dc over front of st just made into front of skipped st, thru forming a X st

#2: skip next st, 1 dc in next st, 1 dc from back and into the front of skipped st, thus forming an X st

I use #2 for all my patterns. It makes a nicer & more pronounced X
