Makena

This design is named after the beautiful baby girl
that was born on the same day I created this pattern.

I've always loved three dimensional ornaments,
but somehow never actually got around to tatting any.

I wanted to try making my own pattern and this is what I ended up with.

I think I did pretty good for a first try at my own pattern.

I tried making the same pattern using size 5 pearl cotton.
Of course, the ornament is larger.
I think the variegation is beautiful.

This is my first attempt at writing out a pattern.

If you try it, please let me know how it works for you.

Here's what it looks like when you put a bead on every picot.
