3rd Motif
I started this challenge as a learning exercise fully determined to work motifs designed by others, but last evening, after finishing motif 2, I started fooling around with left-over thread on my shuttle and actually designed a simple motif for myself. I have no illusions about it being an original design, but it is a product of my shuttle with no other human intervention. I decided to write out instructions for it in case some beginning tatter would like to try it. If you find any errors in the pattern - remember this is my first attempt at pattern writing - please let me know.
MOTIF THREE
Shuttle only. Short picots: 3/16". Long picots: 1/2"
Work ring of 5 DS - short picot - 1 DS - long picot - 1 DS - short picot - 5 DS
Close Ring
Start next ring and all subsequent rings without leaving space between rings
Work 7 rings of 5 DS - Join to last picot of previous ring - 1 DS - long picot - 1 DS - short picot - 5 DS
Work ring of 5 DS - Join to last picot of previous ring - 1 DS - long picot - 1 DS - join to first picot of 1st ring.

Thanks do much, Gail. Hmm, I'm thinking that with beads it could be made into earrings.
See, you ARE a designer and didn't even know it.

I love this pattern. Will try it sooon. Greetings from the very south of Sweden and Eva
This is so nice! I like the look of the long picots.
That's a nice pattern, simple but effective. I'd want to try it too and the variegated thread...lovely.
Love it all!
Jan, I'm going to try this one as you were so kind to publish the pattern. I hope it works up as pretty as yours!
