This ornament is a mistake. It is not at all what I had envisioned, and now that it is finished, I can't remember what I had originally intended!
January 12 Button Ornament
Materials:
5/8" four hole button
size 20 thread
2 shuttles wound continuous thread method
Symbols:
+ join
- joining picot
Round 1:
Ring 3 - 3 + 3 - 3, reverse work (join to button)
Chain 6, reverse work
*Ring 3 + 3 + 3 - 3, reverse work (join to picot on previous ring and to button)
Chain 6, reverse work**
Repeat from * to ** around, with three joins in each hole, joining final chain to base of
first ring.
Round 2:

Repeat around, reverse work after last lock join

Chain 7, lock join to base of next ring, reverse work
Repeat around. Cut, tie, and hide ends.
To be honest, I finished designing the button ornament yesterday. Still, I already had one for the 11th, so I saved it for the 12th.
Lots of wonderful tatted pieces!! :)
