But, in addition to the diagram, I like the stitches totally written out with the number of picots at the end in parentheses:<br />The last example is probably best, so each little dash in a long sequence (3-) doesn't have to be counted separately when tatting... The total number of picots is a good double-check to see if it's right...Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03301574101643356954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725833531759425981.post-7451789317932954822017-03-27T01:40:52.481+05:302017-03-27T01:40:52.481+05:30B & D are the ones I'd choose as 'corr...B & D are the ones I'd choose as 'correct.' I'm not fond of patterns that use brackets, but I guess they can be useful sometimes. Your diagram is very good, that's all I'd need.

For me A is probably best, but I don't think it makes much odds as long as there's a logic that is explained and adhered to. I quite like the one where the number of picots is put at the end of the line in brackets as a double check. Jane McLellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221433363521511688noreply@blogger.com
