Tatting Section = pgs. 97 - 104
Pattern 22 on pg. 104, text on pg. 103.
Design for Square Doilys, Pincushions, &.
Row 1
*R 3 - 2 - 2 - 3 clr dnrw bts 1/4"
Josephine Ring JR 6 x half stitch (first or second your choice) clr bts 1/4" rw
R 3 - 2 - 2 - 3 clr rw bts 1/4"
Josephine Ring JR 6 x half stitch clr dnrw bts 1/4"
Repeat from * as needed.
Note: Since these rings are unjoined the line of tatting will be twisting. After a few repeats try wrapping the lace around a floss thread holder.
Row 2
This row begins the grouping of the four rings together. The foursome is completed on the return pass. It tats smoothly if you start from where you just ended. If you cut the thread, then join the shuttle thread to a middle picot on the first free ring on the finished piece from row 1. And reverse the direction of tatting this row.
*R 10 vsp 10 clr, bring shuttle thread to the back of the ring, bts JR bts, then join to the vsp dnrw.
