Dale,

A quick glance at the one you list appears to be 4 simple chevrons on separate axis' with another chevron done over the top of those 4 in the center. A separate tie-off is used to finish the main part of the wrap. With more time I would write you an pattern. But don't look for that to happen tomorrow or the next day - I'm up against a magazine deadline.

I have no idea where you're at insofar as cross wraps are concerned. Once you have the basics down it's not too hard to deconstruct any wrap by working backwards, viewing the top layers first and then moving back to the beginning.

Mike,

Look at the threads that are on top - they were put down last. So in the photo you link to, you have a quick outside box diamond starting with a silver or white thread boxed with several passes of black and then framed with a B&W varigated thread. The pattern has been duplicated on more than one pair of opposite axis which is why you see centers on axis other than just 0 and 180.
