Tatting Thread PatternCenterpriece in tatting and weaving -Tatting thread medallions with woven centers are joined together with weaving to make an edge for this centerpiece. Materials - four balls ecru crochet cotton no.3 and linen to match; a circle twenty-eight inches in diameter. Figure 68 Medallions - *Ring 7 ds, 3 p with 5 ds between, 7 ds; ch 4 ds 3 p with 3 ds between, 4 ds; r 5 ds, join to last p on large r, 2 ds, p, 5 ds; repeat ch; r 7 ds, join to last p of small r, 5 ds, join to middle p of first r, 5 ds, p, 7 ds; repeat ch and small r; repeat ch and larg r, joining by middle p's to the two other large r.*Repeat from * to * three times, and join to base of first ring.
Woven tatting thread Center - Thread a large needle with 1 1/4 yards of thread and use 8 center p's of medallion for foundation (see fig 69). Holding end of thread, insert needle in a p; carry thread across to opposite, p, back to p at right of first p, and continue crossing threads until foundation is completed for this tatting thread project. Without breaking thread, weave close to center. Insert needle undr 2 loops; bring needle back between same 2 loops and under third loop. Repeat around for 8 rows. Finih by tying to loose end of foundation thread. Tatting thread Border - Join medallions as made, connecting two adjoining chains by two p's of each. Place joined medallions around linen center. Turn in 1/4 inch on edge of linen and overcast edge with same thread for this tatting thread project. Weaving in tatting thread border - Half way between two medallion make a one-inch loop on the edge of the linen (see fig 70), carry the thread through the loop and across to the first picot, through picot and back to big loop, wind around big loop twice and carry thread to second picot, catching through it in the same way. Make these foundation loops into each picot, carrying thread around the big loop each time. This will make ten loops on which to weave. There are six row of the weaving, which is done in the same way the center weaving was done. Place the six single medallions on the linen centerpiece in the positions indicated in fig 68. baste smoothly and securely, then cut the linen from beneath each one, leaving just enough edge to turn back. Overcast with the same tatting thread, catching the picots on the edge of each medallion. Buttonholing may be used for fastening medallions and edge, but with the heavy thread it will make a very heavy edge, and the overcasting, if done closely, much as as eyelet is overcast, resembles the weaving and looks well with it.
