A little bouquet of three flowers, one pink, one lilac and one yellow, on green stems with leaves, worked with eight threads. It is 19 knots wide and 34 rows long, so set aside a calm afternoon.
The pink flower has a deeper rose ring and the yellow one an orange heart, so keep those color changes tidy.
How to use this pattern
This pattern is 19 knots wide, so cut 19 base strings, one for every knot across. Then cut one leading string for each of the 8 colors in the thread list. The busiest color is A (DMC Ecru, 415 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.
