@humanbean this is one of the patterns like the candystripe or the chevron that can be easily done with different amounts of strings. No matter which amount of strings you use, you can still post the photo here 🙂
I used 4 colors and played with gradients... lightest being thread A and gradually darker threads B C and D. I feel like this kinda make the piece look 3D. Turned out cute and really easy pattern to memorize. Picture above!
