Pearl Tatting Mat


All chains, and all fun in size 20 thread.
Something about this look, I just love.  It is different and I originally was cleaning off my shuttles.  This was a bit of a mind teaser with 3 shuttle but enjoyable.


I saw something like this and it was square and spun from the center.
This is done with out breaking the thread making a strip then a turn and then another.
A picture of when  it was young :)
I was so busy in April I forgot to show what I made for grandchildren with felt. 





Two different tails beaded and two had buttons.  I love sewing felt.
Rabbits really do hide in vegetables you know.

      Thank you I was originally just cleaning off my shuttles and then got puzzled with turning to make another row.

      Thank You, it is done with 3 shuttles and all chains counted in 5 between picots, I will have to give more instructions for turning when I start another mat its a bit of a puzzle till 3 row then you on your way.

    I'm guessing the first row doesn't form arches until you add the second row? And, oh, how I love the hiding bunnies!

      Thank you, a single string runs down the middle, as you switch it off and form the loops with the chain stitch on each side. In the last picture there are 2 rows shown. turning to go down the next row is odd and if like I will do more and take better pictures next time.

    Great pattern - I really like it, as I love bare thread designs.

    But those bunnies! I LOVE what you made the kids. They are splendid!

    You'll have to show us how you made the mat, it's unusual and pretty! Love those slippers, I'm sure the children must've been delighted with them.
