Flashback Friday Easter Egg

Posted on February 3, 2023February 2, 2023 by Leen

Good Morning my Friends and welcome to another edition of Flashback Friday! Today we are going to return to 1999 and my old Leen Tat’s web page with a tatted Easter Egg. This pattern is a little more complicated than the Victorian Edging, but not by much. To complete this pattern you will need to understand how to create a split ring and mock picots. You can watch a tutorial by the very talented Georgia Seitz on both elements here Lesson 14 Needle tatted Mock picot and Split ring.

Needle tatted Easter Egg in purple, pink and blue thread.

Easter Egg

I designed this Easter egg for the flat egg exchange in April of 1999.  Knowledge of mock picots and split rings is needed to do this pattern.  This pattern can be done in one, two or three colors as shown here. It also looks cute in variegated thread.

R  =  Ring
Ch =  Chain
SR =  Split Ring
"-"=  Picot
"+"=  Join
rw =  Reverse
DNR=  Do Not Reverse

Round Medallion : 

  R    4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 close ring leaving enough thread for a mock                                 picot, rw
  SR  4 - 4 / 4 - 4 rw
  Ch  4 - 4 - 4 - 4 rw
* R   4 + 4 + 4 - 4 rw
  Ch  4 - 4 - 4 - 4 rw
Continue from " * " until you have a total of 8 rings and chains. Join to base of first ring and chain, cut and tie.

Clover Leaf :

   R    4 + 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 rw (join to any center picot of medallion chain)
   Ch  4 rw
   R    4 + 8 - 8 - 4 rw (join to picot of previous ring)
   Ch  4 rw
   R    4 + 4 - 4 + 4 rw (first join to picot of previous ring, next join to center  picot of next medallion chain, cut and tie)

Outline : 

  Ch  16 DNR (lock stitch to center picot of next chain. Continue around the bottom of the medallion until you reach the bridge between the medallion and the clover)
  Ch  18 DNR (lock stitch to picot of  clover)
  Ch  14 DNR (lock stitch to picot of next ring)
  Ch  14 DNR (lock stitch to picot of next ring)
  Ch  18 DNR ( lock stitch to next center picot of medallion chain. Cut and tie)

Thank you for dropping by for another flashback to my tatting days. I can’t wait to see all of your beautiful Easter Eggs! Have a fantastic weekend and I’ll see you again next Friday!
