Irene's Cross

 


I call this little cross Irene's Cross as she taught it to me.  She said she tatted them up to give away. (you can easily do 3 or 4 in an evening) Irene always added a little tassel.  I've tatted a few but not many left as I tie a ribbon to them and pass them on as fast as I make them.

Sometimes I can't decide what to tat but always have this one in my head ready to go. If you know whose cross this is please let me know and I can give them credit.


This little dolly hangs on my ID badge and was gifted to me from Irene.  Irene always had a little gift when we got together to tat.  I miss her dearly as do many of my tatting friends.

  2. Lovely cross. I am sorry for your loss. Consider this comment a pseudo hug to convey support for you.
    The pattern is a standard. I have something very similar in several books. The stitch count may vary at the ends, but the concept is a very good basic cross or bookmark or edging/insertion. It's the type of pattern I would hesitate to claim; just as I would hesitate to claim a bread recipe as my own. :)
