Sequin 'Share a Tat' Game - Basic Pattern (2008) |
|
Nowadays it's becoming more and
more difficult to come up with original ideas and sometimes it's
nice just to do something simple. |
| Materials required: One sequin - ⅞" in diameter. The threads I have used in the following are number 20 for enclosing the sequin. Other materials required - your imagination!!! |
| Abbreviations | |||
| R | ring | SR | split ring |
| Ch | chain | Cl | Close |
| Fp | false picot (space to represent a picot) | + | join |
| rnd | round | vsp | very small picot (smallest you can make) |
| DNRW | do not reverse work | T & C | tie and cut |
| SS | switch shuttles | - or p | picot |
|
Inner Round The picots and Fp’s on this round only should be small. Not VERY small but ordinary small! SR1: 2 – 2 / – 2 Cl SR2: 2 / 2 – 2 Cl SR3: Fp 2 / Fp 2 – 2 Cl SR4: 2 + (SR1) 2 / 2 Cl SR5: Fp 2 – 2 / Fp 2 Cl SR6: 2 / 2 + (SR3) 2 Cl SR7: Fp 2 / Fp 2 – 2 Cl SR8: 2 + (SR5) 2 / 2 Cl SR9: Fp 2 – 2 / Fp 2 Cl SR10: 2 / 2 + (SR7) 2 Cl SR11: Fp 2 / Fp 2 – 2 Cl SR12: 2 + (SR9) 2 / 2 Cl SR13: Fp 2 – 2 / Fp 2 Cl SR14: 2 / 2 + (SR14) 2 Cl SR15: Fp 2 / Fp 2 – 2 Cl SR16: 2 + (SR13) 2 / 2 Cl SR17: Fp 2 – 2 / Fp 2 Cl SR18: 2 / 2 + (SR15) 2 Cl SR19: Fp 2 / Fp 2 – 2 Cl SR20: 2 + (SR17) 2 / 2 Cl SR21: Fp 2 – 2 / Fp 2 Cl SR22: 2 / 2 + (SR19) 2 Cl SR23: Fp 2 / Fp 2 + (SR2) 2 Cl SR24: 2 + (SR21) 2 / 2 + (SR1) insert sequin & Cl T & C - See fig. 1 Note – the
sequin will feel and look ‘loose’ within the tatting.
This will become a good fit as the following round is worked. Outer Rounds To join to the inner round take the shuttle through the outer part of the joining picots on EACH SIDE and make the join as usual. See fig. 2 |
