Two violet flowers, a big one and a smaller one, on one long green stem with two little leaves and a touch of yellow, worked with five threads. It is 17 knots wide, a little wider than our other patterns, so cut your base strings to match.
The long stem is a calm stretch of single-color rows, so it makes a relaxing end to the band.
How to use this pattern
This pattern is 17 knots wide, so cut 17 base strings, one for every knot across. Then cut one leading string for each of the 5 colors in the thread list. The busiest color is A (DMC Ecru, 314 knots), so give it the longest leading string.
Tie the rows from the top. Odd rows are tied left to right with forward knots, and even rows right to left with backward knots. The guide shows each thread's path, ticks off finished rows and walks you through the band one knot at a time.
This pattern has never been knotted on real thread, and the colors on screen are close matches to DMC floss, not exact ones. Compare them with your real skeins before you start.
