Hearts to you!!!



Hi Everyone



Hope you are all having a great Valentines Day!!!





These pictures are from Feb. 6th when I had some friends over for some tatting and chatting!! In the first pictures there is Pat and myself (can you tell I had a killer head ache?) Then there is Karen and lastly Sandra!! We had a blast; head ache or not!!!


I am taking part in a tatting exchange with the Fringe called `my favorite snowflake`. I have many favorite patterns for snowflakes, but I thought that seeing this exchange was going on in February my snowflake should be made up hearts!!!

Here is the pattern I used for the heart!! I am not a designer and do not claim that someone has not done this kind of heart before me!!



Flower Heart

Abbrivations: R = ring Ch = chain cl = close
rw = reverse work DNRW = do not reverse work


R - (ds,p) ds 7x`s total of 7 picots cl, rw.
Ch - 20 ds cl, join to 5th picot from large ring.
Ch - 5 ds cl DNRW
R - (ds,p) ds 3x`s cl DNRW
Ch - 5ds cl, join to the 3rd picot from larger ring. DNRW
Ch - 20 ds cl. join to the top of the first ring. Tie and hide ends.

This is fast little heart and I hope I did alright writing it out. Please enjoy!!

Take care!!
Tatfully Yours
Kelly

    Hi, the motif is so cute - i definitely want to try this.

    Just to make sure I understand your pattern correctly:

    Ring 1 is: 7 picots separated by 1 ds (for a total of 7 ds)

    and Ring 2 is: 3 picots separated by 1 ds (for a total of 3 ds)

    Is this correct?

    Thanks!

    Hi Lily

    I think you got it the idea but I started with a ds so that would make 8 ds on the larger ring and 4 on the small ring! I think!! Give it a try and let me know!!

    Thanks Kelly - got it!

    I've already tatted up a few in different methods

    I would like to add the joining picots as you did on the chain 20... I may just experiment putting a picot at different points to join several hearts together... Do you remember if you put those picots at mid-point of the long chains?
