what is my mistake?

class Letter:
    def __init__(self, pattern=None):
        self.pattern = pattern

    def __iter__(self):
        yield from self.pattern

    def __str__(self):
        output = []
        for blip in self:
            if blip == '.':
                output.append('dot')
            else:
                output.append('dash')
        return '-'.join(output)

    @classmethod
    def from_string(cls, strings):
        morse = strings.split('_')
        patterns = (['_', '.'])
        for word in morse:
            if patterns == 'dot':
                word.append('.')
            elif patterns == 'dash':
                word.append('_')
        return cls(patterns)        

class S(Letter):
    def __init__(self):
         pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
         super().__init__(pattern)
