Square Vintage Tatted Motif
In 1993 I had the over powering need to learn to Tat. I could not figure it out on my own. While visiting my Mom, I mentioned it to her and she said her Aunt, my great Aunt knew how and maybe she would teach me. A phone call was made and an hour trip was taken to my Great Aunts home and when I left several hours later, I was tatting. It is fun. At one point, someone had taken a lovely vintage tatted table runner, put it on the copy machine and handed out the copy as the pattern. I recieved a copy of that copy. This is the written pattern for that table runner. So here we go with this pattern.
Supplies:
#10 crochet thread (the tighter the twist the better, so the cheap stuff does not do well)
Tatting shuttles
Ball of thread
Scissors
Tatting terms:
ds -double stitch (when you see a whole number such as “2”, that means you make 2 ds)
p - Picot (when you see “-“ in the pattern, that means make a picot)
RW – reverse work
R- ring
ch- chain
+ - attach to p indicated at the end of the sequence

This is the first motif.
This is the first motif.
When you make and add the seconded motif to the first, you will make the first round and when you start the second round, you will attach the p in the chains to the p in the corresponding chains of the previous motif. Then you finish the rest of the 2nd round as normal.
You can attach the motifs in to squares or rectangles
or in to diamond patterns, your choice. Enjoy!
