Tatters need to empty shuttles every time to take up new projects
which may result in beautiful lace or motif patterns.
My emptying shuttles resulted in…………………
First try with single variegated thread
and another with two sold color threads.
What a coincidence, she also tatted the doily to empty the shuttles.
The first trial shows the bare thread over the center ring and shuttle
join in each picot which are fairly visible.
In another attempt I used two solid colors where the pattern shows no
bare thread nor any join. It was tricky to hide the bare thread
and tat without joins.
Finally it ended up in Bloomrings Bookmark pattern
This pattern is tatted with Hidden Picot method for rings and
lock chain stitch method for joining the motifs.
Hidden Picot(HP) is a very very small picot, automatically made
between the double stitches and hidden behind the thrown rings
off the center ring.
and came up with this attractive color combination.
This is not a test tatted pattern but hope you find it easy to tat.
Your valuable suggestions and comments are always welcome.
Wish you all……………..HAPPY TATTING..........
Very pretty! Although it gives a daisy picot effect, you have made it much simpler to tat. From what I see, the rings in hidden picot are what Patty Dowden did as Rings on Picots. (I used it in my spring garland, among others).
ReplyDelete💗🌹💗 Well done 💗🌹💗
Thank you so much Muskaan! Your spring garland is based on lock join on picots before making rings. I think its completely different way.This pattern has no joins and no bare thread.
ReplyDeleteLock join is optional and avoidable, Usha, used as a structural component for stability in that pattern.
DeleteHowever, I didn't realise you had shared the pattern - just moticed. Your hidden picot is what Ninetta used to curl small rings, and recently in her beaded rope. Rhoda Auld had shown this in her 1974 book. A bit of history lesson 😄😍
Thank you. Beautiful color combinations.
