Small Motif (2007)

Materials required: Any sized thread (no. 20 gives a motif measuring almost 2" across), two shuttles.

Skills required: Knowledge of split rings

Abbreviations
R	ring	Ch	chain
– or p	picot	SR	split ring
/	after the / make 2nd half of SR	vsp	very small picot (smallest you can make)
Lj	lock join	+	join
DNRW	Do not reverse work	Cl	close
T & C	Tie and cut	Fp	false picot
SS	Switch shuttles	CR	Centre ring

Although this is very similar to the outer part of the finger ring I feel it may be useful for those who want to work a small motif. The stitch count has been altered so that it lies flat rather than as a slight 'bowl' shape as in the ring.
