You see there's 3 puncetto knots in my pattern, that it's exactly the same knot described by Jon here:

She had that clever intuition to use that knot for making the chain pointed! Thank you very much, Jon!

Pattern for a Butterfly with Ikuta's picots.
If you like learning what picots I am talking about, please go to Muskaan's blog, here: http://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2016/05/trials-and-jubilation.html
Many thanks to her for clarifying the theoretical part and for helping me to find a notation for this pattern.
All rings' loops are with SH1. Always tat normal ds with SH1. In my pic, the yellow thread is SH1, yellow segments are normal ds in a ring, the white thread is tatted like in a chain, white segments are normal ds in a chain.
Black indicates ring segments and SH1 picots;
Red indicates chain segments and SH2 picots (please note that SH2 in this pattern may be a ball thread).
JSS is the "join to the smooth side" and it is followed by a second half stitch.
JSS is the "join to the smooth side" and it is followed by a second half stitch.
p = normal picot
------ = very long faux picot (used for antennae, cut it only at the end).
R1: 3-3-3-3-3-3, 1 p 4
R2 (inner ring): 8 p 8
R3: 4+(join to R1) 1-3-3-3-1, JSS(join to R2). 1-3-3-3------, 1 p 4
R4 (inner ring): 8 p 8
R5: 4+(join to R3) 1-3-3-3-1, JSS(join to R4), 1-3-3-3, 1 p 4
R6: 4+(join to R5) 1-3-3-3-3-3, 3
(Post updated to amend an oversight, sorry!)
Tie and cut (hide ends).
Cut the very long faux picot in half and make a knot at tip of each antenna.

It's such a joy to visit your blog! Thanks very much for the leaf pattern! I have of course saved it, and I'll make the bookmark in due course.
ReplyDeleteI had a look at your diagram for the puncetto knot. I am a little bit puzzled. Jon Yusoff's tutorial shows the knot being tied in the working or ball thread, whereas yours shows the knot being tied in the core thread - I think. Do I understand your diagram correctly?
Thank you Grace!
DeleteThey are just 2 ways to make the same knot. In my drawing I have in the right hand the SH2 shuttle, like in direct tatting. In the left hand I have the core thread. The knot is tied by the working thread over the core thread, exactly the same knot. Thank you.
Thank You for the patterns, I love them, you are the best :)
ReplyDeleteTy Carollyn!
DeletePiękne wzorki przygotowałaś. Dziękuję bardzo.
ReplyDeleteDzięki Malgos, cześć
DeleteGreat leaf and butterfly!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue!
DeleteThanks for sharing all these beautiful creations :-) I'll be dieting along and enjoying it too !
ReplyDeleteAh, now I understand. Thanks! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm having problems with rings 3 and 5 being too small to fit around rings 2 and 4. In the pattern notation, rings 2 and 4 are written as 14 p 14, but the butterfly in the picture seems to have a count of 8 p 8 which would definitely work better for me. Should it be 8 p 8?
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry Eliz, that's my fault because in my first version R2 was 14 as total without picot, I then changed to add the middle picot but forgot to correct my notes. So yes, inner rings R2 and R4 are 8p8. I correct the post. Thank you very much.
