| Slice of watermelon tatting design by Marilee Rockley |
It's a slice of watermelon! Well, sort of, at least the best I could do for now. The pattern is a free download! Click here.
I used size 10 thread with size 11/0 Toho seed beads for my sample, which measures 2 and 3/8" (6 cm) at the widest part.
I'm working on some video demos to post on TikTok, expecting to edit them down later into YouTube shorts. The trickiest part is the green "rind" which is done in pearl tatting technique.
Let me know if anything doesn't make sense in the pattern. Or, if it looks like a different object entirely! Somehow, looking at it now, I'm thinking UFO (unidentified flying object), lol.☺
Oh well, I really was trying for watermelon.
