I hope these are making sense. The reason I set them out in a table is so I can write little explanatory comments at each stage without disrupting the flow of the pattern. But if it's still confusing, I'm happy to draw up a couple of charts to make things more clear.
I've taken new photos too, with close ups and different angles. They should make things a little easier to understand.

Without much further ado, here is the pattern...
Materials:
- Crochet cotton (4ply)
- 2.5mm hook
Stitches used:
- Chain (ch)
- Single crochet (sc)
- Double crochet (dc)
- Double crochet 2 together (dc2tog)
- Slip stitch (slst)
dc2tog instruction:
I had attempted to explain how it's done. And then I couldn't even understand it. So here is a much better instruction by CrochetMe.
Just note that the dc2tog should be done over three stitches. We are trying to create a zig zag.
