Holiday Decorations - also called "Eye of God" Reviewed by Heather P on 2008-08-10 *****
This pattern when using at least two colors is also called an "Eye of God." We made them at camp when I was growing up and I later taught girls in the group I led how to make them. They are very easy to make, and one that one of the girls made currently hangs from my rear view mirror.
