Oh Happy Day! At last, Papillon Princess Ida is yours to tat. This motif was designed using modern tatting techniques. Modern tatting merely means there are precise manipulations of the shuttle used throughout the pattern so that the lace will have a distinct front and back side. In other words, the bars all the knots appear on the front of the lace motifs. It is a good idea to read all directions prior to tatting Papillon Princess Ida. If you are not familiar with the techniques behind modern tatting, please take a few minutes to review the following “how-to” explanations.

Please note that the pattern script is meant to be used in conjunction with the schematics, rather than one or the other. Good light, a quiet span of time and a sprinkling of patience are the basics to the success of tatting this pattern.

HOW TO WIND YOUR SHUTTLES USING THE CONTINUOUS THREAD METHOD Wind one shuttle full of thread. Pull approximately 3 yards of thread from ball. Cut thread from the ball. Wind remaining thread onto shuttle two. You will be tatting from the center of the thread. <1>——CTM——<2>

HOW TO TAT MODERN CHAINS CH DK or Double Knot Chain. The hitches of the double knot chain are manipulated with S2’s thread and transfer over to S1’s thread. Use only where stipulated. CH or Lark’s Head Knot Chain. The hitches of the lark’s head knot chain are manipulated with the S2’s thread and are slid into place on S1’s thread. There is no transference of the hitches. The lark’s head knot is the second hitch and then the first hitch worked in that order. The lark’s head knot is manipulated while the lace is facing the front. CH or Reverse Double Knot Chain. The hitches are manipulated with S1’s thread and transfers over to the S2’s thread or ball’s thread. The reverse double knot is the second hitch of the double knot and then the first hitch of the double knot tatted in that order. The reverse double knot is manipulated while the lace is facing the front.

HOW TO TAT DIRECTIONAL RINGS DR or Directional Ring. Reverse the work to face the back of the lace. The sequence of the hitches are tatted in a precise formula. Instead of tatting the double knot, which would appear in the wrong sequence on the front of the lace, you start the ring with the second hitch of the double knot, then work the required number of complete double knots stated — minus one. End each sequence with the first hitch of the double knot. Guide the shuttle through the ring to the front of the work before closing the directional ring. SECOND HITCH

FIRST HITCH

PAPILLON PRINCESS IDA NOTE: Ida is tatted in five steps. STEP ONE <1>—CTM—<2> Left Hand A:

R: 10.

Forearm B:

SR: 8 / 8.

SECOND HITCH Directional Ring Join. When joining a directional ring, pull the ring thread up through the bottom of the picot till a large enough loop to permit the shuttle is formed. Guide the shuttle through the top of the loop to the back. Pull the ring thread until the loop is taut. This is considered the second hitch which completes the join in a directional ring.

HOW TO TAT/KNOT MODERN JOINS +(plus) or join. All joins (except for lock knot joins) are considered a knot and are calculated in the knot count. Pull the ring thread down through the top of the picot till a large enough loop to permit the shuttle to pass through is formed. (When joining the lark’s head knot or the reverse double knot chain to a picot, it is the S2’s thread or ball’s thread that is pulled down through the top of the picot.) Guide the shuttle through the front of the loop to the back. Pull the ring thread until the loop is taut. This is the first hitch of the knot. Tat the second hitch of the double knot (the first hitch when tatting the lark’s head knot or reverse double knot chain) to complete the knot. /LK or Lock Knot. The lock knot is primarily used to lock the running (internal) thread into place. The lock knot is formed with the manipulating thread. The thread is pulled down through the top of the picot. The appropriate shuttle is slipped through the loop and then the loop is pulled taut. A lock knot does not count as any hitch or knot. The lock knot is used in chain joins.

MATERIALS TO START: Shuttles: You’ll need two shuttles. Thread: I used Anchor Mez - #20/186-Pink. Safety-Pins: 2 small. Scissors: One pair. Crochet Hook: Size 14. Needle Threader: One.

HOW TO TAT/KNOT SPLIT RINGS SR or Split Ring. A split ring is a ring that has been tatted with two separate shuttles. The top/first part of the ring is tatted using S1 to manipulate the double knot. The bottom/second part of the ring is knotted using S2’s thread to manipulate the lark’s head knot.

TO FINISH: Iron Spray Starch or Sizing White Cotton Cloths 1. Be sure to rethread the thread ends back through as many finished knots as possible prior to ironing the motif. 2. Saturate both sides of motif with spray starch or sizing. 3. Place the motif right side down on a clean, dry, white cloth. 4. Heat iron to lowest setting. 5. Place another clean, dry, white cloth down on top of the motif. 6. Iron till motif is dry. 7. Repeat 1- 6 to achieve desired stiffness. 8. Don’t use spray starch or sizing if you plan on using a commercial stiffening agent. 9. Viola! You’re finished!!

Split Ring- Lark’s Head Knot Join. When joining the bottom/second part of the lark’s head knot to a chain or ring picot, pull the ring thread up through the bottom of the picot till a large enough loop to permit the shuttle to pass through is formed. Guide the shuttle through the top of the loop to the back. Pull the ring thread until the loop is taut. This is considered the second hitch. Tat the first hitch to complete the knot and join.

HOW TO KNOT THE DORA YOUNG KNOT Pull shuttle one’s thread up through bottom of the picot. Pass shuttle one through the loop to the front, making sure that the loop does not twist. (Fig. A) Pull on the thread that comes out from the base of the last lark’s head knot knotted until the loop and shuttle thread are pulled back through the picot. (Fig. B)

Pull on the bar thread to slide the hitch over to the left. (Fig. C)

Pass shuttle one through the loop and pull to tighten the hitch. (Figs. D & E)
