Half of a golden sunflower on a white background, with a dark brown center and a lighter brown ring, worked with five threads. It is 19 knots wide and 37 rows long, and the left edge is cut off on purpose, so the flower sits on the edge of the bracelet.

The white background is part of the pattern, so keep those knots even on every row, especially in the top and bottom rows and the blank columns on the right.

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 5 colors in the thread list. The busiest color is A (DMC B5200, 315 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.
