1874 Victoria Motif, ©2000 Dan Rusch-FischerInstructions: transfer the ricrac design with ink to stiff cardboard and after the drawing dries baste the braid to it.

Make the individual tatted rings from No. 100 thread. The center ring of the motif: 17 Dk. separated by 1 P.

Around the center ring are arranged 12 rings made of: 5 Dk., 9 P. separated by 1 Dk., 5 Dk., and tied together as shown with small gaps.

From the same size material and pattern make the rest of the ring motifs; trefoil clovers and single rings make the four angular shapes.

The middle of each angular shape is filled with a single ring of 20 Dk., separated by 1 P. The finished tatting motifs, following the detail of the illustration herein, are joined to the ricrac with needle lace stitches, using No. 200 thread.
