A brown branch with four turquoise flowers, yellow centers and green leaves on white, worked with nine threads. It is 31 knots wide and 59 rows long, so cut your base strings to match.
The branch runs on a diagonal, so count the brown knots carefully on each row. Each flower has a light and a dark side, so keep the two blues in the right place.
How to use this pattern
This pattern is 31 knots wide, so cut 31 base strings, one for every knot across. Then cut one leading string for each of the 9 colors in the thread list. The busiest color is A (DMC B5200, 1235 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.
