If you lay down the first thread and then lay threads only to the tip or butt side of the first thread you get a Chevron (V). The direction the V points is whether you are tip side or butt side. Threads to the tip side V points to the tip. If you alternate tip side then butt side of first thread you get a diamond. There are two threads per pass one spinning the rod in one direction and the other in the opposite direction to make the V shape. Play with a couple of threads and you will see the pattern take shape. I wrap one thread at a time to get a cleaner tighter pattern.
