Tatted Hexagon Bag

This is a page in a random notebook where I'd been playing with some tatting to make it look like Irish Crochet several years ago.


I thought the idea came from one of Mary Konior's books but I looked through all four of them and didn't find anything. Unfortunately, there is nothing in my notes either so maybe I was referring to something else or maybe I just came up with it since the three samples show a progression in design. I think I've already figured out how to do the hexagon like the crocheted one, including stitch count. I hope to get to try it out tonight.

Might practice my clunies first........(clearing throat)

  2. Oh yes, such wonderful little samples! Every time I read through instructions for translating crochet stitches into tatting, I get the worst headache! But you are doing such a splendid job on your notebook items!

  3. In Tatting with Visual Patterns, Ms. Konior has a piece based on filet crochet. Maybe that was your original inspiration?

  5. Oh wow! Your samples are really pretty! I can see that clunies would give you the look of the crocheted bag. Fox has me practicing clunies again. Apparently they are NOT like riding a bike. I had them SORT of figured out last summer. This summer... not so much...
