In this motif, there are two parts that are worked in sequence, and when the motif is worked in a size 20 thread, it measures 2-1/2 inches square.
The picots on the last round of the motif can be used to connect the motif with other motifs. The picots on the last round of the motif act as a stabilizing point and can be used to anchor the motif to another motif. By attaching the motifs together in this way, you can create larger designs with intricate patterns.
Those who prefer front-side-to-back-side tatting will find the pattern useful. The pattern includes text in italics, and there are red highlights where the second half of the ds is done first, followed by the first half of the ds.
