Poker Butterfly Heart

Poker Butterfly Heart

Designed by Margaret Davies © 2020

This pattern came about in Lock down playing  Virtual Poker tatting,  by given a set of poker cards,  we were asked to design a piece of tatting,  this is what I came up with.

Abbreviations

-           Picot

+   -      Join

Vsp -  very small picot

JR  -  Josephine ring,  the numbers beside are the stitches count for the JR

CTM – continuous thread

I suggest two shuttles CTM for this pattern, I used size 20 thread but it’s up to you what size you use.  As you tat the chains the butterfly will stand up making it 3d.  At the beginning of every chain do a very small picot so you can join the next chain

Butterfly

1^st ring            10 – 6 – 4

2^nd ring           4 + 6 – 6 -4

3^rd ring            4 + 6 – 6- 4

4^th ring            4 + 6 – 10

do not break off thread

Heart

This starts at the top of the butterfly

1^st chain  20 + (join to 2^nd ring) vsp 5 – 5 + (join to 3^rd ring) vsp 20 + (join to top of butterfly) v

2^nd chain 25 + (join to p on 2^nd ring) vsp 7 – 7 + join to 3^rd ring) vsp 25 + (join to top of butterfly) vsp

3^rd chain 28 + (join to p on 2rd ring) vsp 9 – 9 + (join to p on 3^rd ring) vsp 28 +   (join to top of butterfly) vsp

4^th chain  7 JR10, 5 JR10, 5 JR10, 5JR10,  5JR10,  7  + (join to p on 2^nd ring)  6 JR10,  6 JR20, 6 JR10, 6 + (join to p on 3^rd ring) 7 JR10, 5 JR10, 5 JR10, 5 JR10, 5 JR10, 7 + join to top of butterfly.

In the picture I did a spiral chain so it could be hang up, but this is optional, I added a small piece of thread to the butterfly for the antennas.

Hidden Rose Ice Drop

Hi

This is a free pattern please enjoy

Hidden Rose Ice Drop

Adapted by Margaret Davies © 2020

Original Pattern called Hidden Rose Snowflake

By Muskaan © 2019

Abbreviations

-           Picot                                                                   

Vsp  -   Very small picot

+      -     join

R     -     Ring

CTM – Continuous thread

SS    -     Switch shuttles

RW  -     Reverse work

Dnrw  -  do not rw

TW -      Turn work

LJ     -      Lock join

                                                                                                                                                                                        

This is a variation of the pattern designed by Muskaan, which I have adopted into an ice drop

All picots are normal and some are multiple joins in the same picot

Lock chain is worked with the first half stitch flipped and second half stitch unflipped

1^st Row     Ring 4-4---4-4 RW

                  Ring 6-6-6 fold down and away from you

The following is part of Muskaan pattern

1^st ring  8 - 8 SS (base ring)

2^nd chain   slip paper clip on SH2 thread to hold the picot, 12 tw SS

3^rd chain    p3,   ring 5,   chain 3,   ring 8,  chain 3,  ring 14,  chain 3,  ring 8,  chain 3, ring 5,      chain 3.turn work SS.

4^th chain  slip paper clip on Sh2 thread to hold picot, 12 + (join to base ring)

5^th chain  8 + (join to p on 4^th row) turn work

6^th ring     8 – 8 SS

7^th chain 10 + (join to 6^th ring p)

8^th chain  8 + (join to base ring)

Chains 5, 7 and 8 can be done in either a lock chain or an ordinary chain.

Repeat 1 row again and repeat the pattern until you have 6 repeats joining on the last repeat to the first set of rings and pattern.

This is the sequence of the pattern to help you,   the ice drop rings hang down from ring one.

Hanging

Make a hanging chain in the same thread using a spiral chain or any other method you want to use to the required length you want.

Feel free to use the pattern for personal use or to sell items made from it, but not to sell the pattern as if it was yours.  Please credit me and Muskaan as the designers when referring to the pattern.
