Onion ring step 5

Basic encapsulation or WRAPPING

Completed double layer onion ring

This is a challenge project. The antique motif

above is a simple trefoil and chain repeat. The

diagram suggests a variation possibility

converting the rings to double or triple layer

onion rings. This illustrates the use of the onion

ring join; the use of down joins instead or up

joins, measured picots. The onion rings may

also be tatted in 1, 2 or 3 colors with the extra

threads being hidden in the chains.

Best wishes, Georgia Seitz

This provides exercise in encapsulation, i.e.,

creating the chains by NOT reversing work and

WRAPPING the thread instead of tatting the ds

for the chain.
