Pattern for 3D tatted flowers







This pattern is the first I've ever attempted to write ... so feel free to tell me of any errors!

Abbreviations
R = ring   ds = double stitch  p = picot  lp = long picot
Cl = close  rw = reverse work

Clover 1

1)  R1  5ds lp 5ds Cl rw
2) Ch   8ds p 8ds rw
3) R2   5ds join to picot of R1 5ds Cl rw

Repeat rows 2 and 3 until 5 petals have been formed, join the last chain to the top of the first ring, finish.

Clover 2

1) R1 4ds lp 4ds Cl rw
2) Ch  5ds p 5ds rw
3) R2  4ds join to picot of R1 4ds Cl rw

Repeat rows 2 and 3 until 5 petals have been formed, join the last chain to the top of the first ring, finish

Clover 3

R1  (6ds Cl) repeat twice

Step 1
 
Tie off ends leaving them long and bring through centre to the front. Thread one end onto a needle and take it down through the centre of Clover 3 into the centre of Clover 2 catching a side of the centre as you go. Repeat with Clover 3. Leave end loose.

Step 2

Thread remaining thread with 3 beads then repeat step 1 but on the opposite side to original thread

Tie off the threads but leave long so the can be attached to your project.


I REALLY hope this makes sense :)
