January 31 - Rosette From Gina (antique pattern)

Thanks to Gina for updating this antique pattern from Beeton's Tatting book. This is the same book where I found the edging we did a couple weeks ago on this site.

We'll show some variations on this pattern tomorrow.

Original chained heart rosette motif:
About ½ yard on shuttle, CTM from ball thread

Paperclip

SLT = shoelace trick

This is made entirely of chains so you will use very little thread from the shuttle.

Hang a paperclip, ch 5 ds, p, 10 ds, p, 1 ds, turn work by flipping up,

SLT

Ch 10 ds, j to last p, turn work again and SLT,

ch 10 ds, p, ch 5, j at base where paperclip is.
*Flip up, SLT,

ch 5 ds, flip up, SLT, hang paperclip – this creates your p to join in with each heart

Ch 5 ds, j to last p of previous heart,

ch 10 ds, p, 1 ds, flip, SLT,

ch 10 ds, j to last p, flip, SLT,

ch 10 ds, p, 5 ds, j at base where paperclip is.

Repeat from * until there are 4 hearts.

For the last heart in the motif, flip up, SLT,

ch 5 DS, flip up, SLT, hang paperclip,

ch 5 ds, j to last p of previous heart,

ch 10 ds, p, 1 ds, flip, SLT,

ch 10, j to last p, flip, SLT,

ch 10, j to 1st picot of 1st heart,

ch 5 ds, j to base where paper clip is. Flip, SLT,

ch 5 ds, j to base of 1st heart.

Cut and tie and hide ends.
