I like to play with color, so I created an ombre pattern with different shades of blue. Then, I made a steampunk version. There are both versions in these instructions, with multiple color options for each. I illustrate how to lay out the color in two different ways. I also lay out how to make this ornament in four different sizes with four different rivolis: 16mm, 14mm, 12mm, and 10mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tutorial assumes that you can weave byzantine, or at least have some familiarity with it.
