 The basic pattern uses two colors of thread and split rings. | There are as many ways to tat this edging as there are tatters. Mary Maynard, however, asks us to follow this method which uses half stitches and see how it works. 2 shuttles are needed for both two color work and monochrome. If using only one color remember to wind the shuttles continuous thread method (CTM) R = ring # = the number of ds done in repetition 1/2 = the first half stitch (over/under) 2/1 = the second half stitch (under/over) rw = reverse work SH1 = shuttle #1 SH2 = shuttle #2 SS = switch shuttles RODS = reverse order double stitch - picot, -- medium picot, --- large picot |  |
