Division/Marking

C10

Diagrams

line drawing showing the placement of one octahedron
 

Directions

  1. Mark a C10.
  2. Stitch one triangle for each face of the octahedron. Stitches are placed inbetween the lines at a 4-way intersection as close to the intersection as possible. Use six 4-way intersections placed as for an S4 w/ obi (or C4).
  3. Use a different color for each of the other possible octahedra (total of 5 all together).

Notes

This was done as a demo design for the Platonic Solids and Temari Design study. Interestingly, the edges of the five octahedra make up all of the edges of the C10 division.
