Stitch of the Day #32 - Crocodile Stitch

So this was kind of a fun stitch. It started out a little bit intimidating. Ok, a lot intimidating. I found the way that worked for me and went with it. After the first 2 rows, the base rows, I had it in hand. I didn't do the extra set of rows (5& 6) due to the hour and wanting/needing a break. However, this was kind of a neat stitch and I can see it being part of various projects, like a flap of a bag, one side of a pillow, or part of a stuffed croc for a child.

Here is my version. As I said, I only did the first two paris of rows.

UPDATE Feb 13, 2018:

Finished that extra row.

Here's the video tutorial by Creative Grandma:

This is a very long video (about 1.25 hours). I recommend skipping a bit if you don't have time or don't need every detail. Ms. W explains this stitching and why she does things in a lot of detail. It helped me initially, but then I would FF or pause as needed.
