I originally did this at the request of a friend around the time of the 25th anniversary of the Srebrenica Massacre. Neither of us could find a pattern so I did my best.
4 years later I got a query on the pattern, which reading it back was understandable. I’d talked my friend through it the first time so a lot of the hand waving was missing.
I have a pdf version available, just drop me a message
