I tatted the above in Size 20 Thread

Large Paperclip

SCMR = Self Closing Mock Ring click on link for instructions

R = ring

CH = chain

[#VS #~#] = Victorian set stitch of #first half~#second half (example; [4VS 4~4] would be 4 groups of 4 first half then 4 second half)

SR = Split Ring #/#

- = very small joining picot

+ = join

It is assumed that you know the basics of tatting and all rings in this pattern are closed completely. There is no reverse work needed in this pattern.

leave 1' of thread to finger tat the SCMR chain

the idea for this pattern was based on patterns by Ellen Lai posted on the online tatting class lesson website
