Notes: This pattern has evolved a bit over the years.  From that evolution I have
taken a liking to the diamond braid and the more tightly spun head as departures
from the original.  Depending on the size and color, this pattern can
imitate a whole host of aquatic life forms.  A fantastic trait for a
pattern!



 



You
can either clip two separate quill sections to form the tail and wing, or clip
one wide section, double it over and trim the tips to match.
