3 pair joins
Contents
Introduction
Three pair joins are a special kind of snowflake: 3 pairs coming in, 3 pairs going out.
There are several ways of making three-paired joins. As Groundforge does not do real three-paired joins, we decomposed the join in several 2-paired joins, and show approximately how the stitch looks like. We would like to thank Gibritte for inspiring us. She discovered, that you can make a star-join on the fish-scheme! Please click on the picture of the join you wish to see.
This rose ground variant looks like a three paired join, but has crossings instead of twists.

Please note: star 4 uses the same GroundForge schema as half little snowflake a). For the 6 pairs version of star 2 and 4 see stars with 6 pairs.

Half little snowflakes
A three-paired join can be made with a half little snowflake. See also page Little snowflakes.

This snowflake can be used in several configurations.
The pricking of example a) is equivalent to no 47 from Moderne Torchonspitze, where it is presented rose-ground style.
