Pink Chrysanthemum Doily

Recently I bought some gorgeous solid coloured thread.  My only problem was that I found I like tatting with sized 40 thread and most of my new purchases were in size 20 thread!  Luckily some of them were sized 80 thread :).

I was keen to tat in a new colour so decided to tat this gorgeous Chrysanthemum doily from Tatting Patterns and Designs by Gun Blomqvist and Elwy Persson.  This was a fun and easy pattern to tat.  Will have to tat this pattern again in two solid colours or a smaller sized thread :).

Details:
Pattern Name: Chrysanthemum
Book: Tatting Patterns and Designs
Designer: Gun Blomqvist
Thread: Lizbeth
Size: #20
Colour: #617 Magenta Medium

That's it for now.  Thanks for visiting my blog :).

Cheers,
Jenn :). 

P.S. This book can be purchased from the Book Depository here (free postage worldwide) or it can be purchased as an eBook from Kobo here.

  1. Lovely ! This is a beautiful shade of pink .
    Glad you are enjoying size 40, too :-)
    I have this book for quite a while now (for the Lucky Clover Doily), but still haven't gotten round to doing a single pattern :-(
