Sue's 5 point Celtic Motif - Sue Hanson ©1999 ©2001 ©2005This motif is made in three steps, two separate motifs are worked, and posted through each other, then a final round is worked to tie it all together.Example worked in No 20 Coats Mercerised Crochet threadFirst Section Ball & shuttle, two colours joined. * RA: 5 - 5 -5 -5 -5 - 5 clr RW Ch: 18 RW Repeat from* 4 more times joining 2nd p of R’s to 4th p prev R’s + (last Ch to base of 1st R) T & C Note: this will come out slightly cupped & does not lay flat but it will be fine when the motif is assembledSecond Section Ball & shuttle, two colours joined. ** RB: 7 – 7 clr RW Ch: 4 - 8 - 4 RW join p on subsequent repeats Repeat ** 4 more times + (last Ch to base 1st R) Take care not to twist the chain. T & CNow lay section one on top of section two then post the "legs" up & through rings A as shownFinal Round Ball & Shuttle Single colour CTMCommence with right side facing.Rings are worked under the chains of first section, so fold work out of the way whilst joining. *** RC: 6 + (last p of RA) 3 + (1st p next RA) 6 clr RW Ch 4 - 4 – 4 +LJ (p of RB) 4 – 4 - 4 RW Repeat *** 4 more times + (last p to 1st p of 1st RA & Ch to base of 1st RC) T & CAdjust motif to shape. The original motif was used as a brooch with a straight pin, as were the original 9th century Celtic broochesRemember that if you hide the ends the motif becomes reversible. I cheated & just did a triple knot & cut close. Glue can be applied to the knot if desiredThis is a very flexible motif. Instead of two colours it can be made of just one or as each round doesn't take much thread use 6 different colours to empty them shuttles!!! You can make more repeats and even add beads. Make it bald or increase the number of picots & graduate them.Most of all have fun with it :-) And I’d love to see what you come up with!
