PATTERN:
** Starting with the first A on the left as a leader, work in HDHH to the right across the entire piece including the last 13 yd. length. With last length knotted as leader work in HDHH to the left across the entire piece. Starting at the left, the first 6 lengths of A will be worked to form an angle <. With the 6th A in from the left as leader work to the left in DDHH having the last knot 1 inch below the last HB worked. With the same length as leader work to the right in DDHH so that the last knot is 2 inches below last HB worked. NOTE: Work all angles to correspond with this in size. The next color group will be worked to form a diamond <>. Divide D having 1 strand of yarn to a length. These will remain this way throughout work. Work left D strand to the left in DDHH and back to the center forming an angle <. Work right D strand to the right in DDHH and back to the center forming an angle >. * The next 6 lengths of A will be worked to form an angle >. With the first A as a leader work in same manner as the first group of A reversing direction. The next 12 lengths of A will be worked to form an X. With first length as leader work in DDHH to center, knotting each of the next 5 lengths. With last of 12 lengths as leader work to the left, to the center, knotting each of the next 5 lengths. With the 2 leaders knot 3 VHH and carry leaders in opposite directions forming the X. Divide the next 3 lengths into 2 lengths of 3 strands each. These will remain this way throughout work. Tie 7 VHH. Work the next 12 lengths to form an X. Work the next 6 lengths in the same manner as the first group of 6 forming an angle < *. The center color group (next 20 lengths) will be worked to form an X. With first C length as leader work in DDHH to the center. With first C on the right as leader work in DDHH to the center. With the center 2 C lengths tie 3 VHH and carry leaders in opposite directions in DDHH forming the X. Repeat between *’s once. Work last color group in same manner as first. Work last A group in same manner as first reversing direction to form an angle > **. Repeat between **’s 3 times. * With the left outside length as leader, work a HB across entire piece to the right. With last length knotted as leader work a HB across entire piece to the left. Repeat from * once. Trim lengths 6 inches below last HB.
