Turned YouTube pattern into a 2 row repeat with no cutting of ends by chaining up the pip colour:

At beginning of row, ch2, lay loop of zigzag colour over tail, then chain 2 more. DC in 1st V, ch 1 as per tutorial, then at the end, pull loop through the top of the ch2 from the zigzag row below, then Tb into top of ch2 of pip row below that. Finish off by pulling through the last 2 loops on hook.

Joining this as I go bc it’ll sit in bits for years otherwise.

Stop the swirl just before the last 2dc in same st on any of the edges that need joining. Works best if your working the colours anti-clockwise…
