Mary Donohue's Square - The Shapes of Tatting

Designed by Mary Joseph Donohue aka Icela © 01/29/2005. Mary writes: "You have the right to make a copy of my designs for your own use. Please do not distribute since this would be an infringement on my copyright. This is my first design with thrown off rings both in the center and outer edges.
CR= 4ds, 8 picots separated (sep) by 2ds, 4ds CL
R = 4ds, + (join to last picot) 4ds, 7 picots sep by 2ds, 4ds CL, RW
*CH = 12ds, r 4 - 4, 12ds, rw, after the first chain join all thrown off rings to the picot of the first thrown off ring on the chain.
R = 4ds 7 picots sep by 2ds, 4ds CL rw
R = 4ds, + (join to last picot of previous ring) 4ds, 8 picots sep by 2ds, 4ds CL, rw
R = 4ds, + (join to last picot of previous ring) 4ds 7 picots sep by 2ds, 4ds CL, rw
First complete clover finished, make 2 more clovers in the same manner repeat*.
The last ring is a split ring to climb out into the next round.
R = 4 – 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 / 4 + (join to first picot of first ring, 2 – 2 – CL, do not reverse work (DNRW)
CH 17, drop the core shuttle and pick up the secondary shuttle to throw off a ring
r = 4 - 4 CL, pick up the core shuttle again and continue with 17ds + (join to third picot of last leaf of the clover)
CH 6, r = 3 - 3 CL, 6ds + (join to 4th picot of the next ring.)
Continue the two chains and thrown off rings until 4 sets are complete. Make the last join in the 4th picot of the split ring.
