Try to help with pic and words. Basically it is one thread infront of the other up and down the blank. This maks an arrow or chevron. Keep track of colors and # of threads going in the first direction. Now you start with the same first color etc and go in the opposite direction. the chevron now will point in oppsite direction. I have one on my member photo page. It is on page 3. Hope I didn't confuse you.

A chevron is wrapped with each thread getting added towards the tip end of the rod. A diamond has one added on the top and bottom side.

The term "double" typically means you have the pattern on four spots, top bottom and both sides.
