Good morning -
If you go to this website you will find a tatted bird on a wire along
with a snail and a flower.

I've made many of these for table favors for our needleworkers guild
retreat and they were very well received.

And then taking Lauren's idea, I think it would work.

HI Marji;
I have not seen a pattern, but I can imagine one :-)
Using maybe size 20 thread, make a series of split rings with, oh, 8 stitches per side. On the third ring do 8 sts one side but 4ds then join to the paperclip, then 4 more ds. Make 5 rings total.

If you do the last ring unevenly, the you could have antennae from the thread ends.

R1: 8/8
R2:8/8
R3:8/4+4
R4 8/8
R5:6/10
Cut ends about 1/4" away for antennae

Little details you could add yourself, like picots for feet or a bead for an eye. Good luck and have fun with it!

Hi,

I was at our state fair this past week and saw a cute tatted caterpillar on a
paper clip.  Has anyone an idea where I can find the pattern?
