September Mystery Tatting Revealed

Here are the 3 edgings listed last week as well as the 4th one that I didn't have time to test tat beforehand. I've put the original photo on top and my tatted version below. I told someone recently that my goal next year is to get a software program and learn to make diagrams. In the meantime, hope you find something fun to make these for!

Clr = close ring
Rw = reverse work
+ = join


#1
RA = ring A
RB = ring B

RA: 4 (- 4) 3 x, clr, rw
Ch 5, rw
RB: 4 + last p RA, 4 (- 4) 2 x, clr, SLT (shoelace trick)
*Ch 6 – 5, rw
R 9 - 3 – 6, clr
[R 6 + last p of prev r, (3 - ) 2 x, 6 clr] 4 x
R 6 + last p prev r, 3 – 9, clr, rw
Ch 5 + p prev ch, 6, SLT
R 4 + last p of RB, 4 ( - 4) 2 x, clr, rw
[Ch 5, rw, RB rw] 4 x, SLT after last RB instead of rw
Repeat from * length desired


#2
*R 10 – 10, clr, rw
Ch (1 - ) 7 x, 1, + p prev r, 1, ( - 1) 7 x, + at base of prev r**
Ch 10, rw
Repeat * to ** (now referred to as double ring or DR)
Ch 10
DR, which means to make the 10-10 ring and then + 1st or corresponding DR at 4th p of outer chain or [ ch 1-1-1-1 + 4th p of corresponding outer ch, 1-1-1-1, + p of r, (1-) 7 x, 1, + at base of r)
DRs will zigzag in opposite directions and join to DR before last one made
Continue for desired length
~tip: chains are all facing in same direction


#3
Cloverleaf begins
*RA (ring A) 9 – 3 – 6, clr
RB (ring B) 6 + prev r, (3 - ) twice, 6, clr
RC (ring C) 6 + prev r, 3 – 9, clr , rw
Ch (4 - ) 4 x, 4, rw
RA and + to last p of prev cloverleaf with 1st p
(RB joining to last p of prev r) 3 x
RC, rw
Ch (4 - ) 4 x, 4, rw
Repeat for desired length


#4
2 shuttles wound CTM
If you use 2 shuttles with different colors, you will have to SS (switch shuttles) or SLT to get the colors where you want them differently from the directions.

Cloverleaf
R (3-) 3 x, 3 clr
R 3 + last p prev r, 3-1-1-3-3, clr
R3 + last p prev r, 3-3-3, clr, do not rw, SS (switch shuttles
Ch 7-1-1-1-7, SS
R 1- (2-) 8 x, 1, clr, rw
*Ch 1 (-1) 5 x, miss 1 p of r and lj (lock join with shuttle thread) in next free p
Repeat * 4 x, joining 2nd 5p segment at 3rd p to middle p of last r of cloverleaf and join last 5 p segment to base of r.
Ch 7-1-1-1-7, rw
Repeat from beginning, joining 1st r of cloverleaf at middle p to middle 5p segment of 4th segment.
Continue for length.
