With a clear photo and a numbered diagram, the tatter can recreate all the patterns in this book, "Imported Designs of Tatting Book #77" easily. This booklet was published with photos of the tatting only. No instructions, no patterns.

All the rings in the row have 3 ds between each picot or join. There is a 3 ds split chain after the last ring. Join the rings as indicated in the original photo and on the diagrams.



All the long chains have 3 ds between each picot or join but the 3 short chains are all

Please consider using RODS, for all the chains. The reversal of the first and second half stitches will create the all front/back side look to the tatting.



This motif could serve as an insertion in the center of a tablecloth or as the crown of a baby's cap. It would decorate the top of a pincushion also and make a great gift, too.
