Butterfly Heart Diagram

I liked Irene Woo's heart so much that I decided to make a diagram of it.  I hope that's ok?  And I hope some of you will be pleased to have it.  If you prefer the written directions, they can be found here.


(added 22 January)
I'm sorry I've been contacted by someone who said I might
be infringing rights by posting the diagram so I have removed it.

If anyone knows how I can contact Irene Woo, I'd be grateful for the information.
I have not been able so far to find any contact details for her.


Best wishes,

  1. Thank you for this. My sister is just learning to tat. Since she lives in MT and I live in NY, answering her questions isn't always easy. She's eager to learn, and this maybe a pattern she can practice on with minimal help.

    1. Hi Bonnie,
      Yes, I think this would be a great pattern for learning. It's only rings and chains, nothing difficult but a lovely design which anyone would be proud of tatting I think. I hope she gets on well with it.

  7. Nicely done (and beautifully tatted in the previous post!) Thanks so much for taking the time to diagram this! How nice of you to share your hard work! (Lots of little numbers in between all those picots!)

    Because this pattern is on the internet, I see nothing wrong with your diagramming it. You've given Irene Woo the the credit she deerves, and also link to her written pattern (which was almost lost). And you've given yourself the deserved credit of the diagram. So you've enabled many more tatters to make and appreciate it!

    I find it so much easier to tat from a diagram, and I just about have it memorized before I even pick up my shuttle! What drawing software do you use?

    1. Hi Kathy,

      Thank you!

      I only wrote my name on the diagram because many times, after printing things, I've wondered where I got them from! So I thought that would give the link for people to find it again.

      The program is Eazydraw and I'm pretty pleased with it. Still learning but getting better (and quicker!). I only wish I could do drop shapes instead of ovals - still working on that.
