	Materials: 24cm circumference mari wrapped in white Pearl Cotton #5 in maroon and green Metallic gold thread Prepare a 10-Combination division

	Use pins to divide the short legs of each pentagon into thirds. (see red numbers – green and blue dots on figure)
	With maroon, bring your needle up at one of the first 1/3 pins from the center of a pentagon. (Green #1 in figure).  Stitching only on the short leg-lines, create a right-handed spiral. (26 stitches – follow green numbers) The last stitch should be near the center of an adjoining pentagon along the same short-leg line 5 thirds distance from your fist stitch.

Repeat this design for each pentagon around the ball; keeping track of the order in which each pattern is stitched so you can repeat it for each successive round. Repeat with 1 round of green and 1 more round of maroon. (total 3 rounds)
