Tatting Together Square Motifs - Lene Bjorn


Fox recommended this pattern book to me when I asked which Iris Niebach book I should get. This book contains patterns from a class that Iris taught. The designs are from her students in this class. The designs are all very interesting and some look quite challenging. I chose this one to start tatting with.


This pattern on page 12 is by Lene Bjorn. It is the pink one on the book cover. Here I used Lizbeth Size 40 in #675 Fern Green medium and #165 Blue River Glades. I had to unpick several times but I love how the design turned out. I did however wished I had used a more contrasting colour and there is one extra picot somewhere in one of the chains. Did not see it until I was blocking it. The pattern is actually four squares joined up. Each square is tatted in one round with two shuttles.

  5. It looks good and even more interesting seeing it tatted than in the book. To me anyway. I love the color thread selected by you also. Thanks!
