Notes:
Ascher Databook Notes:
  1. By spacing, there is one pendant and then 10 groups of 3 or 4 cords each. Each group can be viewed as having 4 pendants. All groups have the same basic color pattern: B, LA or LC, B, LB or LC. Groups where one of these is non-existent have only 3 pendants.
  2. The first pendant position in each group has S knots while pendant positions 2-4 have long knots. As noted above, the first position (colored B) does not exist in some groups.
