I'm not an expert in patterns, but I was looking at this one and I was wondering if the reverse knots in the coloured strings in row 2, 4, and 6 might be better as straight forward or backward knots? (Although knot 2 on row 4 is good to keep as a reverse because then you have one string with no knots, and can use white or black if you're short on coloured thread like I am. ๐)
