Directions

This one is written up in detail for a StitchAlong on TemariKai. There are in progress photos as well. Basically you are stitching rose gradens in each of the icosahedral triangles of the C10. For later rows you have to bury the ends of the stitches so they don't extend out of the triangles.

Notes

This took forever with #8 perle cotton. In the future, use a smaller thread to mark with and a larger one to stitch with. The lighter color triangles should be squished a little to make the symmetry work out bettter (pack the rows). Work in rounds, all green triangles then all purple until the last one or two. If needed do an extra complete round (green and purple) to make the spacing work out before adding green outline. Try variations on a C8.
