4 - Leaf Clover Pattern Pg. 184 CRTA

I just completed my 2nd pass and it appears I am running out of room
for a 3rd. I excpected the pattern to take 4 or 5 passes. I am hoping I can
push the pattern out to accomodate additional passes.
Does anyone know the minimum number of passes this pattern requires?
Do you all think the threads can be pushed out as I go along or should I
just start over? Any experiances with this pattern?

Thanks a alot in advance,

Raymond Adams

I just took a quick look at that pattern and if you count the step ups in the pattern it looks like about 8 passes to me.

I've done it a few times...4 full passes will do it (+1 configuration). If you're patient,you can move those threads out to make room for more passes.Just be careful you don't snag & rip up the threads when moving them..

Thanks guys,
Hey Billy,
It was your picture I saw on the visual wrap site that made me want to try this pattern.
Awesome! I just don't understand the visual wrap terminology. Could you enlighten me?
I should have realized that that was your post!

Thanks again,

Raymond Adams
