Split
Ring Motif 2 (with rings on split rings) |
|
|
|
|
This motif was first seen in the Ring of Tatters Newsletter some years ago. I have now re-written and re-drawn it. The third row may be attached to a bracelet to make a window / Christmas decoration. I have given two lots of instructions to ensure that one of them suits your tension. I used the first set of instructions for those shown above. |
|
Materials: Simli no. 50. Two shuttles. Bracelet or similar metal ring measuring 2 Ύ in diameter if required.. |
