covering beads with tatting

This is a variation of the method showed in “Lesson 180 - Prayer Beads“ - a video by Karen Cabrera (?v=8im4OB91AWY) ------ Wound 2 shuttles CTM. In this video, first shuttle is the yellow one. Beads’ diameter is 6mm. It is covered with flowers, that are 3 rings of 5 5-5-5, then last is a split ring:5 5/5 5 After the second ring, pass the thread of the second shuttle behind the thread of the working shuttle, then tat the third ring. Then the last tatted is a split ring: upper thread is the working thread, start the loop around the hand with that one, gently pull the second thread before starting the second side of the split ring. Then, pass a loop of the thread of the first shuttle through each picot. Reverse work and pick the loop clockwise. Pass both shuttles inside the loop. Pull the loop to close the flower, but first put the bead inside, pull the first shuttle to close the loop. -------------------------------- ----------------------
