Stitch Count

I've written down the pattern for the folded ring flower edging so that I don't have to experiment again next time I want to tat it. I thought someone else might like it, so here's the pattern.

Folded ring flower edging

Abbreviations

+ join, (all joins are to corresponding picot on previous ring)     - picot,            R ring,            Ch chain,        RW reverse work,               Cl r close ring (when closing rings, make sure that the stitches between A and B face inwards)

SS switch shuttles

A make 2 first half stitches

B make 2 second half stitches

Use 2 shuttles, shuttle 1 with flower colour and shuttle 2 with green. I used size 10 thread, but any size could be used. 

First flower

With shuttle 1,

R1: 10, A, 2, B, 6 – 4 Cl r

R2: 4+ 6 A 2 B 6 – 4 Cl r

R3: 4 + 4 – 2 A 2 B 2 – 8 Cl r. RW

Ch 18, SS,  R 6 – 6, SS, ch 6 RW

Second and subsequent flowers

R1: 8 + 2 A 2 B 2+ 4 – 4 Cl r

R2: 4 + 6 A 2 B 6 – 4 Cl r

R3: 4 + 4 – 2 A 2 B 2 – 8

Continue in this way, making flowers of 3 petals with chains between. On last flower, the last ring should be 4+ 6 A 2 B 10.
