Here’s the next row of the doily we started in July!
This pattern uses two tatting shuttles, although the second row requires only one. You can also use the shoelace trick, but I think in this instance, the work will look better if it’s not used.
This is an experienced beginner pattern (because it uses two shuttles). It is about 4-1/2 inches wide (12 cm) and 3 inches tall (8 cm) when done with size 10 thread.
I used Lizbeth Cranberry Bush Color 181.
