I
had fun with this motif pattern. I used size 30 thread with only
a yard or two of color on my shuttle and white on the ball thread.
The motif is made in two rounds, but without a 'tie & cut' between
rounds. It tats up quickly, only simple rings and chains, and is
easy enough for a beginner. The tatting pattern, along with other
suggestions for this motif are found on Suzann
Welker's page.
