A very Canadian Tat-a-long 2025

 Hello and welcome to A Very Canadian Tat-a-long 2025!

If you have never participated before the tat-a-long is a fun bit of tatting leading up to Canada Day.  It generally has a Canadian theme.  Each day for 3 days I give you a part of the pattern.  This year the first day is perhaps a little time heavy but the overall goal is that you are able to squeeze in a little tatting amongst your other activities. For this project you will need thread in red, white, blue and yellow.  

Day 1

We are revisiting a part of the 2018 tat-a-long. Perhaps I am cheating a bit but feel it will be worth it in the end!  Please go to the links below and tat 2 of the maple leaf
