A Very Canadian Tat-a-Long Day 3

Happy Canada Day

I was tempted this morning to do the whole post in red. I stiffled the urge since I didn't think you would be able to read the pattern.  We are so used to black.

Don't forget that tomorrow the 4th of July Tat-a-long will start.  I will likely be posting later in the day since I'm back to work tomorrow.  You will need red, white and blue thread. 

Cheers

Materials

white thread

2 shuttles or one needle

crochet hook

Terms

C- chain

R- ring

SR- split ring

vsp- very small picot

lj- lock join.  Make a lock join by using a crochet hook to pull shuttle thread through the joining space.  This creates a loop and you pass the shuttle through the loop then tighten to remove excess thread.  In these patterns a lock join is often joined to the space between chains.  Where to do the lj is indicated in brackets.  For example lj (C2 & 3) means a lj in the space between the 2^nd and 3^rd chain.

rw- reverse work; turn the tatting towards you to change the direction the chain is facing

LSC- lock stitch chain,
