August 13 - Vest: Part II by Ruth

Tatted Vest Copyright 1987 - 2007 Ruth Perry
Yesterday we did flowers of rings A - E
Today we begin with the first split ring of flower-F




Split Ring ( 7 - 3 / 7 - 3 )
Split RingA ( 3 + 7 / 3 - 7 )
[ These letters A - M are in BLUE on the diagram]
Split RingB ( 7 - 3 / 7 - 3 )
Rings C,D, & E are all ( 3 + 7 - 7 - 3 )
Split RingF ( 3 + 7 / 3 + 7 )
RingG ( 7 + 6 - 7 )
Split Ring H ( 7 - 3 / 7 - 3 )
Rings I,J, & K are all ( 3 + 7 - 7 - 3 )
Split RingL ( 3 + 7 / 3 + 7 )
Split RingM ( 7 + 3 + 3 - 7 )
Finally, the last split ring of flowerF by the RED Letter I
Split Ring ( 3 + 7 / 3 + 7 )

Continue tatting the flowers for the other side of the front of the vest: J - M Paying attention to the split rings and where the flowers join together. You will end up at the gray A on the bottom flower of the front, then tat the bottom back as shown in the first diagram.

More detail on the lower back tomorrow.

**** NOTE: This could be made to fit anyone by tatting the shuttle shaped petals for each flower. Since lace is really "IN" right now, wouldn't this be a spectacular Christmas present for someone dear? OK, if you're short on time, then maybe for Christmas NEXT year.
