Remixing a Blindsided Pattern: 16-String Spiral with Beginner-Friendly Knots!

This is a full remake of the Blindsided Creations pattern 81102—with a twist. 🧵 Instead of the original 14-string version, I’ve bumped it up to 16 strings to make the design more symmetrical and way more beginner-friendly.

✅ Easier to follow
✅ Only two colors needed
