A long band of three round medallions with cream petals and a dark center, joined by two smaller diamond-shaped motifs, on a burnt orange background. It is worked with five threads, 12 knots wide and 71 rows long.
The pattern repeats the same motif block, so once you have tied the first medallion you can follow the same rows again for the next one.
How to use this pattern
This pattern is 12 knots wide, so cut 12 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 946, 401 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.
