Garland Copyright 2007 Brigitte Henneberger:

Note from Ruth: Brigitte, this is just lovely!!! Thank you so much for sharing with us! I think it would look amazing across the yoke of a little girl's dress or blouse!

Instructions:

The pattern is worked with two shuttles with different colours, in my example, I took variegated pink and dark green. There are always chains with rings on it.
Chain: 5 (Ring: 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 cl.) 5. Change shuttles (and colour) and repeat with the changed colours.

Knot the ends of the threads together. (Or tat a creative knot.)

Start with pink: work ring and the second part of the chain,
change the shuttle,
*green: chain, ring, chain,
change shuttle,
pink: chain, ring (join second picot to the fourth picot of the last pink ring), chain.
Repeat two times from* change shuttle,

*green: chain, ring (join second picot to the fourth picot of the last green ring), chain,
change shuttle,
pink: chain, ring (without any join) chain,*
repeat 4 times.

Change shuttle and tat along, joining five pink rings, than joining five green rings till you reach the length you desire.
