Tatted Cross
Original design by Monica McNeil
Copyright 1997.
Pattern can either be tatted using the tatting needle or two shuttles.
Any size tatting thread. The designer used size 80 thread and placed
the cross at the end of a book mark in place of a tassle. Using a size
larger thread would create a beautiful bookmark as well. As either a
bookmark or bookmark end, this is a wonderfully designed tatted piece.
