Then, start tatting a chain, leaving a loop at the beginning.<br /><br />I don't think I have any good pictures showing this on my blog, but Jane Eborall has superb technique instructions on her website<br />http://www.e.n.e.btinternet.co.uk/<br /><br />Scroll down her page until you see the techniques section, then click on "Making the Self Closing Mock Ring". An open end chain is really the same thing.Marilee Rockleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11229319055877477637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073604165170267945.post-50372133080616093722011-02-19T00:14:03.553-06:002011-02-19T00:14:03.553-06:00Hi Marilee, I'm new to tatting and wanted to ...Hi Marilee, I'm new to tatting and wanted to tat your shamrock, but am confused as to how to start with an open end chain on a continuous thread method.

I shared a bunch of shamrock tatting patterns that are on the internet today. Carol Lewecki just sent me the link to your post so I added it! Beautiful work and thank you for sharing it. I think I remember seeing it last year, but I was still thinking about starting a blog so was still in the "lurking" phase and was probably too shy to comment, LOL! Happy St. Patrick's Day! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569720420483740487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073604165170267945.post-36132503516421372142008-03-18T07:48:00.000-05:002008-03-18T07:48:00.000-05:00This is the same pattern I submitted to the Tattin...This is the same pattern I submitted to the Tatting Calendar last year.
