 Gina Brummet Shares a Vintage Pattern Using the Inward Facing Picot from Needlecraft Magazine January 1921 | Gina Brummet is a long time member of the online tatting class. She is well known to tatters also through her online blog: 1 shuttle w approx 18” thread | Central Ring – 1 ds (hiding end in stitches as you go), (p, 2 ds) 7 times, p, 1 ds, clr, cut & hide final end. Set aside. 2 shuttles CTM Ring A: (2 ds, p) 2 times, 4 ds, long picot (1/4”), 4 ds, (p, 2 ds) 2 times, clr, rw Chain A: (3 ds, p) 5 times, 3 ds, rw Ring B: 2 ds, p, 2 ds, + (join) to 4th p of prev ring, 4 ds, + to long p of previous ring, 4 ds, p, 2ds, p, 2 ds, clr Chain A, rw; Ring B, rw Chain B: (3 ds, p) 5 times, 3 ds, + to long picot that three prev rings were joined together in, rw Chain D: You continue with a chain here but with the opposite shuttle so you “switch working shuttle” or if you happen to use a ball and thread instead of 2 shuttles, you can do the shoelace trick to get the ball thread in the proper position. This next chain should arch in the same direction as the previous chain.5 ds, p, 5 ds, + to p of central ring that was set aside, 5 ds, p, 5 ds, rw Again, you need to switch the working shuttle or do the shoelace trick. Hang a paper clip on the working shuttle thread to make an inward facing picot. This picot replaces the long picot used for joins in Ring A in the remaining sequences around the square. This needs to be a long picot so to keep it from snugging up, make the first ds a lockstitch by not flipping. Then... Chain C: 2 ds (with lockstitch just made this will be the same as 3 ds in Chain A), p, 3 ds, p, 3 ds, + to center p of last Chain B, 3 ds, p, 3 ds, p, 3 ds, rw | Ring C: (2 ds, p) twice, 4 ds, + to long inward facing picot (remove paperclip), 4 ds, ( p, 2 ds) twice, rw Chain A, rw;Ring B, rw Chain A, rw;Ring B, rw Chain B, rw Chain E: (SS or SLT) 5 ds, + to last p of Chain D, 5 ds, + to central ring, skipping one picot from last j to central ring, 5 ds, p, 5 ds, rw Repeat from Chain C twice, but with last Chain E, + last p of chain to 1st p of first chain D, rwSwitch working shuttles or SLT and make Chain B, + in middle picot of opposite Chain A and then join at end in base of 1st ring. Clr = close ring Rw = reverse work P = picot Ch = chain + = join, see also down join vs up join CTM = continuous thread method (wind 1st shuttle, do not cut thread, pull 4-5 yards off ball and then cut, winding 2nd shuttle from cut end) Inward Facing Picot Please see:core thread picot http://www.georgiaseitz.com/superbowl.html compare to: working thread picot http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~nickeb/DownPicot.pdf |
