Skills required.  Knowledge of split rings and SCMR (2 only)

 

Abbreviations

R

ring

Ch

chain

- or p

picot

SR

split ring

/

after the / make 2nd half of SR

B

move bead in place of picot

RW

reverse work

Btwn

between

VLP

very long picot

vsp

very small picot (smallest you can make)

Lj

join made with shuttle thread

+

join

Cl

close

T & C

tie and cut

SS

switch shuttles

SCMR

self closing mock ring

DNRW

do not reverse work

DPB

down picot with bead - work 2 first half ds, bead, 2 second half ds

 

Add 2 small seed beads to shuttle 1 (joey’s eye & nose) & 2 slightly larger beads to shuttle 2 (mother’s eyes) before starting.  I used a lighter colour thread on Sh1 for contrast.

 

Please note that throughout this pattern I have used italics (and red text) to show where the worker who wants to use ‘front side, back side’ tatting needs to start with the second half of the ds first (i.e. like the second side of a SR).  I have not used this when working SR’s as that is the normal way to work them.
