I am trying to make the tatting shuttle case on page 32 of "TATTING WITH
FRIENDS". The directions say, " R1-(13) times close ring. Create a mock
picot (14th) using the lock stitch or by tying the treads together. Split
ring 2/2 close ring."
How many stitches are the rings made of?

Hi Sylvia,
First I laughed. It sounds like a math problem (If I walk at 2 miles and hour and you
walk toward me at 3 miles and hour, when and where will we meet?).
I don't have this pattern and this is a very cryptic set of instructions, but I read
it as a ring with 13 picots separated by one double stitch with the 14th picot
replaced by climbing out of the ring with a mock picot and then a small split ring
with 2 double stitches on each side.
Does that sound like what you know the pattern is supposed to look like? I would
expect that the row after this ring would have small rings of 2 double stitches, join
to a picot on the central ring, 2 double stitches, like little berries hanging down
from the second row to touch the central ring. It would be hard to guess what else
might be included in the second row!?!

E 3
O O O O O O O O O O O O O ( )
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4
m = double stitch
O = picot
( ) = mock picot (climbing out of the ring)
E = double stitch on one side of the split ring
3 = double stitch on the other side of the split ring
Hope this makes sense.
