Cello tatted star

I named this star the Cello star because each arm looks like a little cello, or a little fat lady. Being a rather

rotund lady myself, I decided I liked Cello star better than Fat lady star. :-)

I was introduced to half-closed rings when I recently acquired a copy of Mike Myer's new book, "Tatting

Patterns for One Shuttle". So, I thought I'd try a pattern with them and see how it went together. It was

easy, and a lot of fun! This little star is the result.

I first designed this pattern without the beads, but as I was stitching, I wondered how to dress it up a little.

So I figured out how to put beads on the single thread of the half-closed ring and tried that. I love how it

worked up!

The biggest challenge was having so many beads on my shuttle thread. After a few frustrating minutes

working around the beads, I just unwound my shuttle a ways, pulled the beads down to the shuttle, then

wound them on the shuttle. Worked like a charm!

This pattern was tatted with size 20 Flora thread. It is beginning to intermediate level and uses one

shuttle.

Instructions:

ds double stitch

R ring

HCR half-closed ring

p picot

j join

bj bead join

You will need:

Tatting thread in your choice of

colors, size 20

1 tatting shuttle

20 bugle beads

70 #10 seed beads

Be sure you have a full shuttle.

Thread the beads on the shuttle

thread in the following order

(b=bugle bead, s=seed bead):

ssssss bsbbsb ssssss

Repeat until you have 5 sets on

your thread. Once you're done, you

will have no bugle beads left, and 10

seed beads left. These seed beads are for the bead joins. Double-check that you have this right! If it's

wrong, and you've begun tatting, you will have to cut your thread in order to correct it.

Leave about 6" of thread hanging when you make the first ring, and don't hide it. You will need it later

when you cut and tie.
