Merry Christmas Tree 2006
I was playing with shapes for wings and came up with this cute little tree. It's similar to one that I used to tat from a Workbasket mag project, but different in several ways. I used to decorate tatted trees with beads, and give them away at Christmas time.

The four lower rings are all
5p separated by 3 DS, and
the top ring has 7 picots.
The chains are all 2 - 2 or 2 + 2.
Start at the bottom with a picot
at the beginning of a chain.

Chain (2) turn
Ring1 ( 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 ) turn
Chain ( 2 - 2 + ) Join to the first ring. turn
Ring2 ( 3 + 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - ) Join to the 1st ring, turn
Chain ( 2 - 2 + ) Join to the second ring. turn
Ring3 ( 3 + 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 ) Join to 2nd ring, turn
Chain ( 2 + 2 ) Join to the previous chain picot, turn
Ring ( 3 + 3 + 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 ) Join to base of 3rd ring & to picot of 3rd ring, turn
Chain ( 2 + 2 ) Join to the previous chain picot, turn
Ring ( 3 + 3 + 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 ) Join to base of 4th ring & to picot of 4th ring, turn
Chain ( 2 ) Join to beginning picot and tie an overhand knot in the thread ends or tie hide cut.
Add beads as desired for decorations! Have FUN!!!
