Square and Triangle © Jane Eborall - 2008

Please click on picture

For the diamond shape please visit this site. Please note that the square, triangle and diamond shapes can all be worked together by joining sides and end rings as you progress.

2 shuttles required and the same thickness of thread throughout.

NB – I have used italics (and red text) where those who like to do ‘front side, back side’ tatting need to reverse the order of working double stitches. This does not apply to the second side of a regular split ring.

Abbreviations
Wsh1	working shuttle 1	Wsh2	working shuttle 2	SCMR	self closing mock ring
Cl	close	Btwn	between	T & C	Tie and cut
R	ring	RW	reverse work	Lp	long picot
Cl	close	DNRW	do not reverse work	T & C	tie and cut
btwn	between	SS	switch shuttles
