Diagrams

line drawing showing placement of triangles and tri wings
 

Directions

Stitch the large triangles (20 of them, red on diagram) first interlocking them at the pentagon centers, then stich the triwings (20 of them, blue on diagram) on each icosahedral triangle, again interlocking them with the other elements. Use the photos to establish the overs and unders as you stitch each element.

Notes

I really like this design. Weaving pattern is a pain to establish. I did like this one when it was partway done...I may do another and leave it like that (See third picture at the top). Written up in detail on TemariKai.com. It would be fun to look at other uses for the large triangles on a C10.
