Here is yet another beautiful FREE tatting pattern brought to us by Jane Eborall!
For this project, it is recommended that you have four or five different colors of Size 20 thread. You will also need 56 Size 11/0 seed beads, and Ms. Eborall recommends that you use clear or sparkly seed beads to give the basket that extra sparkle and charm!
Also needed are two small 4-hole buttons measuring 1/2 inch each, as the handle of this basket is removable, and is attached by affixing the handle with the buttons.
As with all of Ms. Eborall’s tatting patterns, this one is written out very clearly row by row, and there is also a diagram that is very easy to read if you prefer diagrams/charts!
The techniques that you will need to know for this tatting project include:
- Ring
- Chain
- Split ring
- Close
- Reverse work
- Tie and cut
- False picot
- Very small picot
You will also need to know how to use two shuttles.
