Floral Egg

This pattern uses two shuttles. It developed from a doily pattern of mine. I used Manuela variegated yellow (shade 209) on shuttle 1 and DMC Cordonnet Special in green (shade 955) on shuttle 2. In size 20 threads the egg is 2"x2.5." You could of course make it in one color winding the shuttles CTM, do one split chain and one split ring and have fewer ends!

First round:
Sh 1: R 3-3-3-3 RW
Ch 5 do not RW
Sh 2: Clover:

R 3+3-2-2-3-3

Sh 1: Ch 5 RW

Ch 5-5 RW
Repeat from * 6 more times, joining final R to first R. Cut and tie.
