A lovely pattern and video, going to post my attempt on my page right now :)
I altered my approach to the pattern very slightly.
After following the instructions for the bow, and with the chain 4 ready to slip stitch into the back 2 loops created by the middle Tr stitch, I continued to chain 4 and then slip stitch into the ring (between the wings of the bow, chain 4, then again slip stitch into the 4th Tr (2 loops made onto the ring) and finally chain 4 and slip stitch between the wings of the bow then slipped and ended into the first chain made.
I think if I was sharing this pattern would just mention that these instructions for this section 'create the posts behind the bow for the first row of the granny square to be made upon - just like you would for an irish rose :)' Really felt it was well written and loved the little design...would make some lovely gifts made mine in Christmas colours :)
