Directions

Stitch each of the open spindles in turn interlocking with the previously stitched ones as you go.

Notes

Weaving the bands is a pain...keep close watch on overs and unders when you do the first thread of each band. This one is the first of a series I did. It was sort of my first pattern investigation. There is a detailed write-up on temarikai.com.
