I know the instruction on how to knit the multidirectional diagonal scarf for a long time, and eventually I managed to try it out: on a really tiny scarf ;-)
As long as I tried to understand the pattern, it didn’t work, but when I obstinately followed the instruction without thinking, it worked great.
And the moral of the story: Always act as if daft ;-)
I don’t find it hard at all ;-))
I really like the pattern and I hope that I will make something ‘real’ from it one day.
