A Very Canadian Tat-A-Long Day 3!

Happy Canada Day!



We have arrived at Day 3 of the Tat-a-long!
Just a reminder that there will be a bonus pattern posted tomorrow.
If you are a relatively new tatter I encourage you to be brave and try tatting around the bangle.  I have provided you with a couple links to help.
You can download the file here or find it at the Fringe Elements Tatting Facebook page and the Beginner's Tatting Facebook Group.


Day 3

For today you need 2 yards of white thread wound CTM on a shuttle. 

Start at first ring left of the stem.

R         3 + (p on first ring left of the stem) 3
C         8 p 8 p 8
R         3 + (p on next ring) 3
C         6 p 6 p 6
R         3 + (p on next ring) 3
C         7 p 7 p 7 lj (p on next ring) 7 p 7 p 7
R         3 + (p on next ring) 3
C         6 p 6 p 6
R         3 + (p on next ring) 3
C         8 p 8 p 8
R         3 + (p on next ring) 3
C         7 p 7 p 7 lj (p on next ring) 7 p 7 p 7
Join back to the beginning


If you have a bangle:

Fill a shuttle with thread and cut from ball. You will catch the picots at the same time that you are tatting around the bangle, see the Tatsaway link provided for help on catching the picots.  If you are not comfortable with making the rings then just tat around the bangle

I find it easiest to start with a ring.

*R       4 lp 4
Make the first wrap include a picot
W        6
R         4 + (lp) 4
W        6*
Repeat from * to * around bangle picking up the picots from the center motif as you go.   Add extra stitches as needed.

Please note that the bangle is not in the diagram
