| 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.

A wonderful watermelon!
I can hardly wait to tat this! Thank you for sharing this fun pattern. It will be fun to wear several of these sewn onto a T-shirt, too.

Thank you for the cute watermelon pattern. I’m looking forward to tatting it.
Cute watermelon. I can't get the pattern to open.
Anyone else having trouble downloading the pattern? For me, it works on both my computer and my smartphone - I have Adobe Reader on each device.
First thing I thought was watermelon, so I believe you achieved your objective and it's terrific!! :)
I downloaded it with no problem(on a desktop computer). ;)
