@amyc3157 you need 10 strings for this, 2 on the left and 2 on the right for one color (the color of the two rows) and the rest for the color of the three rows. You make a knot with the two central strings, two forward knots with the 3rd string, two backward knots with the 8th string, and connect them into one knot, resulting in the little triangle of 6 knots. And from then you just take your outermost strings and start making the chevron pattern as usual.
