Tatted
Dress
This pattern
was from a picture I found on Pinterest for a challenge and I have produced
this dress from the picture. There was no pattern on Pinterest for the dress so
this is my interpretation of how the dress was tatted, and this is my written
pattern from dress I produced.
I used No 5 thread to make this dress, I found the
thinner threads do not work with this pattern, but it’s up to you what thread
you try.
Two shuttles or ball and shuttle whichever is your
preference

A
