Coasters

These are an example of random or irregu-lar tatting, sometimes called free tatting.

Using Coats Chain Mercer Crochet No. 20, the coasters shown measure approximately 11.5 cm (4Vi in) at their widest, but size is adjustable. Both use the same flower fragment as a nucleus on which to base the random tatting.

Start at A with a ring of (3ds, p) 5 times, 3ds; rw. Chain B of 7ds, p, 4ds, p, 3ds, join shuttle thread to next picot of ring A, and continue from the diagram. On ring H, work a long picot and twist it afterwards (see KNOW-HOW 10 p. 43). This is shown on the diagram as a straight linę.

When the fragment is complete do not fasten off but continue in rounds, working a series of chains, and joining at random with the shuttle thread. The chains should vary in length, and should have picots worked on them in varying positions. Aim for contrast, not only in the size of the chain loops, but in the density of the tatting. The techniąue can be varied by turn-ing occasionally and proceeding in the opposite direction.

Rings should be included for further contrast, but in practice it is morę convenient to make a mock 'ring' in random tatting by looping a chain back on itself - joining twice to the same picot. In this way, the size of a 'ring' can be judged morę easily before it is closed. Josephine knots can also be simulated by working very tiny chain loops in half stitches.

The work should be laid on a table from time to time, in order to check that it will lie fiat, and that it will eventually reach the reąuired overall shape. If a large mat is preferred, cut a paper pattem as a guide.
