Temari Pattern 99ST4

Intermediate Pattern contributed by Shelley Stevenson / Download PDF file of this pattern

Inspiration: This temari pattern was found through experimentation. A similar

pattern is found in ISBN:4837703917 page 8.

Design threads: This pattern was stitched using Perle #5 and the colours used

were burgundy, pink, white and green. The ball is wrapped in a medium pink

thread.

Marking and Preparation: The ball is 25cm and is marked in a C10 pattern with marking threads being single metallic

red thread. A second marking line is added that creates offset pentagons within the C10 marking lines. See the green

lines in the diagram below.

Stitching the Design: This is a 2-layer design. The diagram on

the left shows the 2 layers as red and blue. The darker colours

show the starting row of the pattern and the lighter colour

shows the last row of the pattern.

1. The first layer, shown as red in the diagram, uses the

triangles as the framework. On the detail diagram (below) note

the location of the 9 black dots within the triangle, 6 are

located on the blue secondary marking lines just inside the

triangle (2,4,6,8,10,12) ; these are the outer anchor points.

The 3 black dots closest to the centre of the triangle are the

upper anchor points (3,7,11). These 3 points are located 1/2

way from the centre of the triangle.

The first row, shown in red, starts just inside the point of the

triangle, shown as 1 on the detail sketch and continues down to the

first black dot, 2, then using a kiku stitch moves to the upper black

dot, 3 then to the next outer black dot 4. Then follow the numbers

around until you get back to the starting point. Repeat for 3 rows

until the points inside the triangle meet. Repeat for all triangles.

2. The second layer is a typical 5 point star starting as close to

the center of the C10 pentagons as possible and going up to the ½

way point of the adjacent line. See the blue star in diagram 1. Use 3

rows of pink, one row of white and one row of green. This should

bring the points of the star to the same junction point as the first

layer.
