SSSR Angel Design: Anne Bruvold

This pattern was originally made for the

Christmas in July Special Event for the

Online Beginners Tatting Class

(http://www.georgiaseitz.com/nt/mimi/html/index.html).

This pattern have been slightly changed from the original published for the Special Event.

You need

Two shuttles and a suitable thread.

You need to know how to make single shuttle split rings (SSSR) and self closing mock rings

(SCMR). If you don’t know how to do SSSR these can be substituted by splitrings (SR). If

you don't know how to do SCMR, there is a version of the pattern using chains.
