Mary Donohue's Heart - The Shapes of Tatting



Deana’s Heart


Deana’s Heart Pattern designed by Mary Joseph Donohue aka Icela © 02/04/05. Mary writes that Deana’s heart was an inspired design for one of her coworker’s husband stationed in Iraq. Great work! And thanks for sharing with the online tatting class.

Clover Leaf R = 5 – 8 – 8 – 5, CL
R = 5 + (join to last picot of previous ring) 10 – 10 – 5, CL
R = 5 – 8 – 8 – 5, CL, Shoelace Trick (SLT)
CH = 16 ds, reverse work (rw)
Using the auxillary thread form a ring 6ds, CL, rw
CH = 8 ds,
Make 3 Josephine Knot JK with 16 2nd halves of the ds only using the auxillary thread,
CH = 8 ds,
R = 6ds cl
Ch = 8ds, rw
R = 3 ds, + (join to middle picot of last ring) 3ds, CL, rw
CH = 8ds rw
R = 3ds, + (join to the center picot of the middle clover leaf) 3 ds CL, rw
CH = 8ds
R = 6ds CL
CH = 8ds, rw
R = 3ds + to center picot of middle clover leaf, 3ds, CL, rw
CH = 8ds
R = 6 ds CL
CH = 8ds, rw
R = 3ds + (join to middle picot of 1st clover leaf) 3ds CL, rw
CH = 8ds
R = 6ds, CL
CH = 8 ds
Make 3 JK of 16 2nd halves of the ds, SLT
CH = 8 ds, rw
R = 6 ds, CL, rw
CH = 16 ds + (join at the base of the 1st chain of 16 ds.)
