This is one of those patterns that I will need to follow the pattern, step by step, all the way to the end. This is not an easy repeating pattern that can be memorized…at least by me. It’s the last of the “easy” patterns…I’m thinking this probably should have been included in the next section.
I had a lot of difficulty choosing colors for this one, but finally settled on navy blue with a blue-grey background and a border of red and rust-orange.
So once you warp up your loom, you will start rotating your cards starting from the BC position. Your cards will be facing right.
Cards 1-3 and 20-22 will always be turning forward.
Turning sequence is:
First: 1-3 F; 4 B; 5-6 F; 7-9 B; 10-13 F; 14-16 B; 17-18 F; 19 B; 20-22 F
Second: 1-5 F; 6-8 B; 9-14 F; 15-17 B; 18-22 F
Third: 1-4 F; 5-6 B; 7-16 F; 17-18 B; 19-22 F
Fourth: 1-3 F; 4-5 B; 6-17 F; 18-19 B; 20-22 F
Fifth: 1-3 F; 4 B; 5-6 F; 7-16 B; 17-18 F; 19 B; 20-22 F
Sixth: 1-5 F; 6-17 B; 18-22 F
Seventh: 1-4 F; 5-18 B; 19-22 F
Eighth: 1-3 F; 4-19 B; 20-22 F
Ninth: 1-3 F; 4-19 B; 20-22 F
Tenth: All forward
Eleventh: All forward
Twelfth: 1-3 F; 4 B; 5-18 F; 19 B; 20-22 F
Thirteenth: 1-3 F; 4-5 B; 6-17 F; 18-19 B; 20-22 F
Fourteenth: 1-4 F; 5-6 B; 7-16 F; 17-18 B; 19-22 F
Fifteenth: 1-5 F; 6-17 B; 18-22 F
Sixteenth: 1-3 F; 4 B; 5-6 F; 7-16 B; 17-18 F19 B; 20-22 F
Seventeenth: 1-3 F; 4-5 B; 6-8 F; 9-14 B; 15-17 F; 18-19 B; 20-22 F
Eighteenth: 1-4 F; 5-6 B; 7-9 F; 10-13 B; 14-16 F; 17-18 B; 19-22 F
See what I mean? I can’t memorize this. I was told that you look at the pattern and that will tell you how to turn the cards…it’s a lovely pattern…it’s just going to take some extra time.
The back is EXTRA cool!
