It is comforting for the beginner/improver to have words and text. For clarity in the text, I would change 'cloth stitch the center ground' to 'cloth stitch (CTC) across the row' ['ground' in BL for me means an area of dots as for Torchon ground or point ground] and expand "Four about the Pin" to include the instructions 'CTCT, pin to the right of both pairs' You can change 'worker thread' to 'worker pair'. In the diagram/pricking, there seems to be something missing. I think the passives should be drawn, as single lines, one line per pair, to either side of the twists, to indicate where the weaver pair is going to twist. In this way when looking at the pricking one can also tell at a glance how many pairs to use. That's just an opinion and maybe for this little pattern it doesn't matter. But - thinking ahead to your future designs...!
