Stripes

 

You will start at the middle stripes and then tat rows outward.  Then you will go back and tat the middle strip on the other side and tat outwards.   The flag does narrow a bit and if this bothers you then you can leave a bigger space between the chains (this is where you join above the rings)

Stripe 1

C             lj (2^nd p from tip of Round 5) 8

R             6 p 6 +(p on tip of Round 5)  6 p 6

C             6 p 6

R             6 + 6 p  6 p 6

C             6 p 6

R             6 + 6 p  6 p 6

C             6 p 6 vsp 1

R             6 +(p on previous R)  6 p  6 p 6 hide ends

Stripe 2

C             lj (4^th  p from tip of Round 5) 8

R             6 p 6 +(3^rd p from tip of Round 5)  6 p 6

C             6 p 6

R             6 +(last p on previous R) 6 p 6 p 6

C             6 p 6

R             6 +(last p on prev R)  6 + (above 1^st  R of previous stripe) 6 p 6

C             6 p 6

R             6 +(last p on prev R)  6 + (above next R of previous stripe) 6 p 6

C             6 p 6

R             6 +(last p on prev R)  6 + (above next R of previous stripe) 6 p 6

C             6 p 6 vsp 1

R             6 +(last p on prev R)  6 + (vsp of previous stripe) 6 p 6

Stripe 3

C             lj (6^th  p from tip of Round 5) 8

R             6 p 6 +( 5^th p from tip of Round 5)  6 p 6

C             6 p 6

R             6 +(last p on prev R) 6 p 6 p 6

C             6 p 6

R             6 +(last p on prev R)  6 + (above 1st R of previous stripe) 6 p 6

C             6 p 6

R             6 +(last p on prev R)  6 + (above next R of previous stripe) 6 p 6

C             6 p 6

R             6 +(last p on prev R)  6 + (above next R of previous stripe) 6 p 6

C             6 p 6

R             6 +(last p on prev R)  6 + (above next R of previous stripe) 6 p 6

C             6 p 6

R             6 +(last p on prev R)  6 + (above next R of previous stripe) 6 p 6

C             6 p 6

R             6 +(last p on prev R)  6 + (vsp of previous stripe) 6 p 6

 For the opposite you will start from strip one EXCEPT all center picots of stripe 1 will join to the picot of the same ring on the first side.

 Please note that the chains will overlap the  next row.  I make sure all the chains are on the same side while tatting.

 

 

 

Coming Soon

I hoped to get this pattern finished in June during Pride Month unfortunately I did not succeed.  The first challenge was the colors since some of my thread was lost in the fire.  So the original sample did not follow the colors just the shape.  Even with this sample I hope you will excuse the fact that I don't use white thread.  Some of the colors I used size 20 Opera thread which comes out to a similar size as Lizbeth thread but I don't have white Opera thread.  The pattern is still being typed out but I'm tio happy with it to wait to share it.  The flag will be a gift to my friends Lisa and Heather.
