it for the “core thread” in the second step.

position the
rings in the proper place before closing the rings.

Step

Continue to
use the shuttle with the second color for the “core thread.” Your working thread will be the third color
and one strand of metallic thread. Feel
free to add more/less picots or seed beads.
All chains
are two double stitches with picots in between (see diagram). Start tatting the lower, center chain: 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 (5 picots). Lj after the three chains from Step #2 (see
diagram). Continue tatting the next
chain with 5 picots, Lj, then the 7 picots, Lj, continue around. Tie and cut ends. You can hide the ends or use them to add the
beads.
DMC on the top and size 20 thread on
the bottom.
Amazing! I'm so impressed by those of you who can design. I can't remember what I've done when I try something new, let alone try to diagram it. Thanks for sharing!
