This is a Johnny Jump Up or Pansy flower. I designed this myself. It is done in Purple, Lilac, and Yellow DMC Pearl Cotton Size 5.
It
only takes one shuttle. It is a very simple design, don't let the directions scare you. I tried to make them understandable no matter
what your notation preference! It would be lovely to take some green thread and chain a stem, and add a cluny leaf or two, I just haven't
gotten around to it!
Pattern:
The visual diagram to the left may help you, also it is my first attempt at using software to draw out a pattern! I used
Trajectory Pro By Jasc
Dark Purple: R(3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3) Close, do not RW. -that should be 8 picots
Dark Purple: R(3+2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3) Close, cut & tie ends, leaving quite bit of thread.-that should be 8 picots
Lilac: R (4-2+{join to second picot of Purple ring}2-2-2-2-4) Cl R, RW.-that should be 6 picots and/or joins
Lilac: R 4-2+{join to second picot of Purple ring}2-2-2-2-4) Cl R, Cut & tie. -that should be 6 picots and/or joins
Yellow: R 4+2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2+4. Close, Cut & Tie. -that should be 11 picots and/or joins
The Dark Purple threads I tied together and trimmed them evenly so that they hung down into the yellow, like the purple striations on
the yellow petal, which you will see if you look at a real Johnny Jump Up or Pansy.
At This point I Put the Lilac and Yellow threads to the back, where they can be trimmed (if you are gluing this to a notecard, they
shouldn't show)
R = Ring - = picot + = Join RW = Reverse work Cl R= Close Ring
