Warpface Double Chevron Pattern [ setting up the headstick ]
To set up a double chevron pattern, at least two colors of yarn will be needed. The number of strands of yarn for each color must be a mutiple of 4. For this tutorial, 48 strand of yarn will be used; 24 yellow and 24 blue. Use clove hitches to cast the yarn strands onto the headstick in the folowing sequence: 6 yellow, 12 blue, 12 yellow, 12 blue, 6 yellow. The set-up for both configurations is the same. The point of the joining chevron is in the middle of the work piece. This divides the work piece in half. Each half must be a mirror image of the other half. The points of the chevrons that are being joined are in the middle of the each half. Therefore the work piece is divided into four equal parts. Each of the four parts is mirror image of its neighbor.	1-1
