I adjusted the stitch count to avoid the "hat effect" in the centre round but of course, that created other problems elsewhere so I would need to add a few stitches on the second round as well. Changing the centre also altered the overall shape of the design making it more square. I would like to keep the initial shape so some more thought required. I made a complete hash of the split chain to link from the first to the second round (obviously more practice needed there!). But I do like it, and I think I may have to make another three just to see what it looks like in a repeat of four... It would need a few extra picots for joining but I think it would be interesting in a repeat pattern.
Best wishes,
Oh, i like this variation! Nice! I'd love to see it as a four repeat piece.
ReplyDeleteI like the look! :)

Me gusta mucho en la forma más cuadrada, y el color precioso
ReplyDeleteJe l'aime beaucoup dans cette couleur et dans cette forme..
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try to make this motif, but the link to In tatters does not let me access to the pattern and I didn't find it in Craftree... Where can I find it?
Hi Sara, were you a member of In Tatters before it became Craftree? If so, I think you can still log in to the old website and then search for Frakira or try the link from the 26th March 2011 post about this pattern. I don't know if she is still a member on Craftree. This was several years ago now but I think the data is still there on the old In Tatters website.
DeleteThank you, but no, I wasn't. I discoverd tatting 1 year ago!
