SPECIAL STITCHES:
V St: = (dc, ch 1, dc) in same st

X Stitch:
You can work the X st 2 ways, you decide which you perfer:
#1.)skip 1 st, dc in next st, 1 dc across  "FRONT" in st just skipped

#2.)sk 1 st, 1 dc in next st, *{1 dc in previous st as follows - go around "BACK" of st just made & into the front of prev.st working 1 dc} X st just made.

NOTE:
For this pattern, I used #2 for this pattern because these X's are more sharp and pronounced in pattern.
