Spring Doily

I promised that my next post is going to be tatting,

And this is what I came up with.....

.

.

And here's the pattern....

.

Wind Two shuttles-CTM

Ring  14-14

*

(rw)

Ch20, vsp, 2nd stitch of ds, 2nd stitch of ds,

(this makes the chain turn)

continue to ch16, join to picot of ring

.

.

ch 10

Place marker thread on core thread

ch10-6

Place 2nd marker on core thread

.

.

ch6-3-6

join at 2nd marker place

(core thread to core thread)

(To create space between the stitches for the join pull on the marker thread a little, remove the marker thread and join. Insert hook in the space created,  pull up a loop of the core thread & pull the shuttle through the loop)

( I used a thread as a marker but definitely you can use a safety-pin or a paper-clip)

ch6-10, Join at 1st marker.

ch10-16, Join at vsp of 1st chain

SLT

rw

ch20,

*

rw,

Ring 14, join to picot on last chain, 14, close ring,

rw,

ch20,

Repeat from * to *

In the subsequent repeats make a join at the the place for the 1st picot of 6-3-6 to the 2nd picot of the previous 6-3-6 ch.

And join the chain while coming up to the picots as in the picture below

.

.

The next ring is joined to the last picot on the ch 10-16

.

.

Make 10 repeats

 and in the last repeat join to the picots as you come up the work,

ch20, cut and tie at the top of the 1st ring, hide ends.

.

Abbreviations

CTM- continuous thread method

ch-Chain

vsp- Very small picot

ds- Double stitch

rw/RW- Reverse work

-  picot

SLT- Shoe lace trick

.

I hope you like what I've made.

Do try it out.

I've written the pattern just off-hand and I know that it's bound to have some mistakes.....

feel free to point them out.

Now I'm really really late for work, I'll have to run!

SeeYa!
