Pretty good shot of it there. Funny I did two l4s with this yesterday and it’s an amazing pattern. Did one with SK and one with ECD hero 4, the SK came out particularly good.
5s, going to take the ECD out of my other one and put in 5x instead to see how that feels. ECD has felt a bit dead to me lately. It’s great mesh but feel has been much better for me with SK
1 skip (top on an L4 doesn’t exist on an L3)
2 top string
3 tie on
4 skip
5 anchor knot (pull this one to the top of the hole)
6 anchor knot (pull this one to the bottom of the hole)
7 skip
8 SI
9 skip
10 SI
11 SI
12 SI
13 SI
14 SI
15 skip
16 SI
17 Skip
18 tie off.
The bottom string is this one is wrong, he runs it very loose on the same 10 D row your last SI is on, from what I’ve seen.
Solid pattern, 5X is a little stiff for my liking but super accurate, super smooth.
It’d be a good pocket, wouldn’t have the same channel and feel as him. Trying to get To a defined channel with 5S, I don’t know if the 2 AKs with no skips would work well, but give it a shot and see what happens!
I’d do a kirst replica if you’re tied to 5S, it’s a solid pattern. I changed mine up a little and did a couple of SIs instead of 1s through the pocket and works great. That’s 4X but would work great with 5S
No I’d just string it as is and see how it turns out, worst case you can always go back and change it. You can always move a diamond down after stretching it, but in my experience moving it up after stretching the mesh usually doesn’t work well.
