R = ringC = chain B or b = bead P or p = picot - = picot + or J = join |
^ = reverse picot‘#’ = number of double stitches (DS or ds) or beads (B) RW = reverse work SR = split ring CL = close ring #/# = # beads on knotting thread / # beads on shuttle thread |

Requires 2 tatting shuttles. String beads onto tatting thread and wind onto both shuttles. Recommend using DMC 12 thread.

R2 (requires 9 beads on knotting (ring) thread): 3ds; J; 2ds; 3B separated by 2ds; 2ds; 3/1B; 2ds; 3B separated by 2ds; 2ds; P; 3ds; CL.

CROWN:
C1: 3ds; P; 2ds; 3/3B; 2ds; 3/3B; 2ds
Using shuttle 2. R4 (requires 5 beads on knotting (ring) thread): 3ds; 1B; 2ds; 3/1B; 2ds; 1B; 3ds; CL.
Using shuttle 1: C2: 2ds; 3/3B; 2ds; 3/3B; 2ds; P; 3ds; RW.
Continue to repeat Cloverleaf and Crown patterns until desired length is achieved. NOTE: substitute join in place of the 1st picot in the first ring of the cloverleaf motifs and the 1st picot of the chains.
