CACTUS
Curtain Insertion / Coaster
Comments: Like Glaze Ice, this motif can be used as an insertion for a curtain (see the comments on that pattern); this one can be a little more difficult due to the "three-points picots".
Size : 18 cm. ( 7 inches)
Material :Pearl cotton # 5, hook 1.9 mm (Boye steel#5), light blue; you can substitute with Cebelia #5 or equivalent cordonnet thread (but the gauge can slightly vary); you may want to give a look to my virtual store if you need materials.
Stitches :ch, sl st, sc, dc,4tcl=4-tr cluster= tr not closed in first st, tr not closed in 2nd st,, tr not closed in 3rd st, tr not closed 4th st, close all tr together, 3pc= 3-points picot = 3 ch, sl st in last st made, 3 ch, sl st in same st, 3 ch, sl st in same stitch., picot = 3 ch, sl st in first ch.
