C10 with support lines for a complete 162 multipole

Diagrams


 

Directions

  1. Wrap mari and mark a C10 with black metallic.
  2. Add support lines for a complete 162.
  3. Use six strands of floss in the needle and work one row on the outside of each pentagon and hexagon (blue on diagram). Be sure to smooth the floss and lay it flat. Do extra rows if you need to so that the color fills the area one-third of the distance across the diamond.
  4. Use black metallic to work one round around each small hexagon intersection created by the previous row. (red on diagram)

Notes

This is a repeat of #070901. I wanted to do it in colors that would have a higher contrast and would photograph better. Since the mari was a different size, I measured and divided the triangle and diamond sides to see what multi marking to use to get the final size of hexagons that I wanted. It was a good process and I am delighted with the control I managed. It might be nice to have a multipole calculator: you input the circumference of your mari and the size of hexagon you want, it outputs the number of centers you should create. Even better if it uses the charts to map out the multiple of three sequence for you. Gotta put DH on that project.
