Comments: A motif that recalls medieval churches rosettes, very frequent in Italy. The central hole is rigid because of the insertion of a plastic ring , anf for this reason I suggest this pattern for curtain insertion, if you are not sewing-impaired like me: just sew the rosette to a white, light curtain and cut the hole on the fabric. Of course, you can use this pattern also for other uses, like as a coaster (in this case, substitute the plastic ring with a thread ring made with your fingers, otherwise the coaster would not be flat, or a motif for a tablecloth.

Size : 14 cm. (5 1/2 inches)

Material :Pearl cotton # 5, hook 1.9 mm (Boye steel#5), dark yellow; a plastic ring abou 2 cm. (3/4") diameter; 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, hdc, dc, tr, picot =3 ch, sc in last st made.

Difficulty: easy/medium

Join thread in plastic ring

1. 48 tr in plastic ring, join with sl st.

2. *tr on next tr, 2 ch, sk a tr*; Repeat * to * 24 times, join with sl st to first st.

3. *dc on next tr, 3 dc in next sp*; Repeat * to * 24 times, join with sl st to first st. =>96 dc

6. sl st in central ch, *(2 dc , 2 ch, hdc) in central ch of next lp, 1 ch*; Repeat * to * 24 times, join with sl st to first st.

7. *(2 dc, picot, 2 dc) in next 2-ch sp, 3 ch, sc in 1-ch sp*; Repeat * to * 24 times, join with sl st to first st..Cut thread, weave in ends

N.B.

• Substitute ever (also if not explicitly said) first st in a row as follows:
  • first sc with 1 ch, sc;
  • first hdc with 2 ch;
  • first dc with 3 ch;
  • first tr with 4 ch...and so on;
• When you read "sl st to <location>", where the location is not immediately contiguous to last st, this means of course "an appropriate number of sl sts for reaching <location>".
• Also if I do not specify it, if you lasted prev row on a st (say st1), while you must start next row in another st (say st2), make an appropriate number of sl sts to reach st2.
