Tatted Pearl Mat Part One

A simple knot to tie three shuttles together, two colors can be the same. And one shuttle can be a ball of thread.
I used three shuttles.

  Leaving one of the three shuttles out, as you begin a chain of 5 double stitches divided by 2 picots, then trim your hidden threads.

Form a U shape, and drag the thread we put aside at beginning over to form the next U on opposite side. In this case the purple thread.  Note keep that single thread a bit short, it will stretch a bit. 

Repeat to form the pearls of the chain to a length you desire,  Wait here for next instructions I will post shortly, or you can try to go on too next row on your own.  

This was done with two variegated  threads and red I did shoe lace trick at times but really don't recommend, cause I was originally trying to clean off shuttles..

    I can't try it today as I must make some progress on the Benporath Mystery Cake Doyley, but I'm itching to play with this. Must be strong and wait until tomorrow or Friday. Thank you so much for starting the instructions.
