Although the featured image in white is absolutely spectacular for this gorgeous ornament, it would also look totally fabulous tatted in a combination of red for the inner rings and green for the outer chains!
Techniques you will need to know for this pattern include ring, regular and medium picots, close ring, reverse work, chain, use of beads, and joins.
The pattern calls for Size 20 thread, twenty-seven Size 9/0 or 11/0 seed beads, a small charm that is 1 inch in diameter, 2 safety pins, and a small steel crochet hook.
