With size 80 thread. Make 14 rings altogether, connecting picots on each side rings of, 6 picot 3 picot 6, in-between each ring a chain or 8 picot 8 connecting the last ring and chain. With out cutting, round two starts right on top of the first ring, make another round of same size rings and chains, (fold back chains of last round) but this time lock join at base of the rings the smaller chain of only 8 double stitches( this way you have two circles of rings and chains. Don;t forget to slide the 20 mm. coin in when you are down to the last 4 rings left. That was the hardest part working with coin in, and now you start with last round (never cut and tie till end) you make a chain of 8, then a ring of 6 connect to first available picot 6 and close ring then chain of 8 then Josephine knot of 8 half stitches, chain of 8 then another ring of 6 picot 6 connecting to next picot go all the way around, cut and tie :) |
so, so pretty, thanks for the instructions, might have a go at these.

DeleteLovely and with direction too! Thank you, I'd stop resisting this ice drops addiction, highly contagious, lol
ReplyDeleteReally I too resisted for as long as I could
DeleteThey are beautiful beads, I looked at these but international postage takes them out of my reach, there's also some beautiful multi coloured rounds at tatting corner.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I can't tat size 80, my eyes won't let me, you have done a wonderful job and your ice drop looks a wow, Thanks for joining us ice drop addicts.
I will try a different pattern with size 20 for you 😄
DeleteEinfach eine wunderschlne Arbeit

Wow ! Gorgeous - as usual :-) I love peacock feathers and colours and you have done full justice to pattern and theme.

DeleteThis is pure beauty! Thank you for sharing your recipe. I'm not brave enough to try size 80 thread yet, but I have some peacock glass gems; I'll carefully save them, and your instructions, and try one day. I'm still working on my shuttle skills (was a needle tatter last time I posted here ^_^) and Diane's original tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI feel the need to work out a pattern for size 20 thread😀
