"Pinecones" Pattern by Ben Fikkert

This was may second attempt at the netting part or as I call it "Pine needles"
This first attempt and the edges curled up the single thread measurement has to get longer on the outer edge of the curves, this part was not really mentioned but figured this out after 4 out of 5 rounds :(


So carefully removed  this mistake and started again :)

This is pretty after pinning out and my bit of hairspray, that will be washed out when done.


Have a wonderful day, and tat away :)

    You're very patient to work on a piece with so many bare thread spaces. Sorry to see you had to cut so much off :(

    I just had a look at the pattern in my copy of the book, and noticed that even the original has some issues with the thread spaces. You've done an excellent job with blocking, so hopefully that continues to work for the rest of the pattern.

      Thanks for seeing that. I to saw the faults in it but was overcome by its overall beauty and that bear thread stuff really fascinates me.🌹

    Wow, that is beautiful! The mignonette part looks like it took a lot of work to get the measurements right for each bare thread.

    Your hairspray technique seems to work well. I love this pattern, and your tatting is excellently executed. Bravo.

      Thanks Bernice, I really don't think I could do it with out pinning it out and hair spray for sure. Makes me wonder how he was able to design this to start with🤔
