Dragonfly Cloth Test Pattern

This is my first attempt at converting a knit pattern to Tunisian crochet.  If you test this pattern, please leave a comment letting me know what you think, good or bad.  I plan to edit this with any corrections I need to make.

Original Pattern (with photo)

Stitches used:

Tunisian Simple Stitch (tss) (explained here)

Tunisian Knit Stitch (tks) (explained here and here)

Tunisian Purl Stitch (tps) (explained here and on the second link above) – This stitch can be replaced by the Reverse Afghan Stitch***, a.k.a Kim & ARNie's Purl Stitch.
