Video tutorial by Clare Sullivan – http://youtu.be/kHZpFKGEFZo
 
In honour of two friends Donna and Bernice
Grandmother Bernice was teaching her friend Donna how to crochet and Donna wrote down the pattern for kittens in a row and gave it to my grandmother. Laura’s grandmother misread the pattern and this is what it turned out like and said Donna made the mistake when in fact my grandmother read the pattern wrong. It was a big joke between Laura’s grandmother and her friend so that's how the pattern got the name Donna's mistake and Donna called it Bernice's mistake. Laura asked me to figure out the pattern from a sample that was years old
