Not sure why mine was looking different, though I did end up tatting most of mine with 1 - just posted a picture on my blog of the pointed vs rounded chains for this pattern.

I did put 2 double stitches between the large picot and the join; the double stitch that forms the picot, and then 1 more. That's a total of 2. In any pattern the picot is only the loop that exists between double stitches. The double stitch that is made while forming the picot counts as "1" in the next part of the pattern. Hope this makes sense.Marilee Rockleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11229319055877477637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073604165170267945.post-60728278645999948442015-12-31T00:01:52.772-06:002015-12-31T00:01:52.772-06:00Thank you for sharing the pattern!

I do have one question - in the pattern it says the ring is 4-----2+4, but it looks from the picture like that 2 should actually be a 1 - was there a typo? At least the ones I'm making look like the photo when I use 1 instead of 2 there.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00523172377122482964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073604165170267945.post-27085034975122833922013-12-02T21:34:33.548-06:002013-12-02T21:34:33.548-06:00I'm a beginner at Tatting.

If done with a 2nd shuttle, there will not be a point, but a smooth curve instead. A pretty variation, to be sure, but not the same. Just to try and clarify. Guess I should have taken a lot more photos :)Marilee Rockleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11229319055877477637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073604165170267945.post-86448409474601463392012-12-03T14:30:22.262-06:002012-12-03T14:30:22.262-06:00@Anne & @Jolene,

Anne, it sounds like yo..."R" means ring.<br /><br />Anne, it sounds like you're having trouble with the double picot. This is how it is done: Join to near the middle of the large picot, in the same way that you join to any picot on a ring. Then, you will see the small picot formed as a result of joining into the large picot. You can adjust the sizes of the 2 parts of the double picot by gently pulling on it. Tat-Man has made a video showing the double picot technique on YouTube: http://youtu.be/olXBh_LPN4YMarilee Rockleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11229319055877477637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073604165170267945.post-74667636327200800432012-12-03T12:25:08.778-06:002012-12-03T12:25:08.778-06:00Please tell me what the R means (after chain 3-3-3...Please tell me what the R means (after chain 3-3-3-3) in the snowflake pattern.

I have made the mock ring, and the chain and formed the first large picot followed by 2 (I presume 2 ds). I am then unable to make the second, small picot despite trying to follow your illustration.<br /><br />Could you please tell me where I am going wrong?<br /><br />Many thanks.<br /><br />Anne<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073604165170267945.post-51462797792901651502012-11-27T13:32:29.221-06:002012-11-27T13:32:29.221-06:00Piękna gwiazdka!
