SIMPLE TATTED CROSS
As a newbie tatter, I was looking for simple patterns. I quickly realized that what I thought was simple and what the tatting world was simple-well lets just say I am much more simple. So I looked around and found some ideas. I decided to start playing and this is my first design in simple tatting.
Materials :
I used size 3 Lizbeth
Thread Rainbow Splash. Using smaller thread will
produce a smaller cross. My completed
project is 2 inches wide by 3 inches tall
Shuttle
Do not reverse work
All rings should be as close
together as possible.
R 2 sm picot 8 – 1---1 – 6 sm picot 2 close ring
r 2 + to last sm picot 8 – 1---1
– 8 sm picot 2 close ring
r 2 + to last sm picot 8 – 1---1
– 8 sm picot 2 close ring
r 2 + to last sm picot 12 – 1---1
– 12+ to 1st sm picot on first ring 2 close ring
Tie ends together and weave into your
work.
I tied a length of thread to the
middle picot of the top ring to use as a book mark. You
could also add a jump ring and chain or ribbon for a necklace.
