Hookah is a wonderful thing. To sit, relax, and enjoy the company of your friends definitely sets a delightful pace to the day. We found this quote and I had to make a pattern. It turns out that there aren't any patterns for hookahs. Here we dive into actually designing my own patterns.  

Luckily I found a great tool on the internet that takes a picture and converts it into a pattern.

Simply converting the picture above with this site resulted in... A very blurry version of the picture above. This wasn't quite acceptable. Using my Professional MSPaint Skills, I refined the pattern down to something workable (*taktaktak* Enhance *taktaktak* Enhance)

Now that I had the hookah pattern nailed down, it was time for the Text. Now standard text patterns are usually generated using text charts. Once again we head to the handy-dandy internet.

Using this tool combined with Good ol' MS Paint I cobbled together a pattern. Slap on a bit of color selection and  the pattern is Complete:

The BackStitch Technique is featured heavily here in the Text and detail of the hose handles. The hose handle embelishment is really just for me, since you dont notice it at any kind of range.

Once the pattern was complete, it took about two weeks to finish.
