Tulips

This motif makes me think of tulips. It has a rather odd construction, where the outer round is not joined all the way round but has four gaps. I thought that would mean I didn't need to shorten the centre chains. 'Not so but far otherwise':
At least I didn't make the mistake of carrying on regardless.

  1. I do remember that about that pattern, and never made this one either. Pretty colors you used too!

  4. So pretty !!! Wonder why all the 'tulips' were not joined together ? Does she use this pattern in another construction ?

    1. I thought perhaps she was just trying to be different? I'll keep an eye out for similar in later patterns.

  6. Lovely Tulips. I wonder what the purpose of not joining all around the ring/circle is?
