 Sharing a Bookmark pattern---- RADIANCE BOOKMARK

Tatted with Single Shuttle.

Clovers are joined with small rings,

leaving Bare Thread of 30 mm between each.

Find PDF pattern here: Radiance Bookmark 

Marie McCurry has been so kind and helpful to test tat the pattern.

She tatted this Bookmark in beautiful variegated Lizbeth thread.

The Bare Thread length of 30 mm as in the written pattern did not fit 

for Lizbeth thread due to the difference in the thread thickness.

A pictorial below has been added to the PDF pattern for determining 

proper Bare Thread length for different types of threads.

So when you start the Radiance Bookmark pattern, kindly check the 

Bare Thread length for your choice of thread.

Marie re-tatted the Radiance Bookmark using BT length calculation on 

my request.

And the result came out exactly as per the original pattern.

Loads of thanks to Marie😘

A new concept of ornamental Starrings Bookmark

using naked silver rings and beaded Dot Picot Strings.  

The star motifs and tassels are tatted with Dot Picot Strings using Dot

Picots and seed beads alternatively. Dot Picot Strings are woven onto

the center ring of each motif with Hidden Picot method. These star

motifs are joined together with silver rings of 10mm by normal lock join. 

Here is a close up of top part of the Starrings Bookmark

And the tassel part....…..

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.

My tatter friend Madhur reminded me that the motif which 

came up was exactly same as the first two rows of her Unending Doily. 

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.

From my Indian Happy Tatters Group, Magnus tried this pattern 

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..........
