Directions

  1. Wrap mari and mark S8 withred perle cotton.
  2. Use doubled thread throughout.
  3. Place oins at 2cm up from equator. Use these to stitch one row on 8 spindles with red.
  4. Layer one row of white kiku on top of the spindles. Bottom points are at pins, upper points are at centers.
  5. Alternate on spindles and kikus (braided) until the points of the kikus meet.
  6. Use single strand of Artic rays to do one more row on kikus.
  7. Finish with one row on the spindles.

Notes

I made a few modifications to the original pattern for this one. I used an S8 instead of an S10, braided kiku instead of regular and I finished with a row on the spindles instead of the kiku. I like the diamond and hour glass effect around the equator. The one row of Arctic Rays seems to give just the right amount of sparkle and fluff.
