I tatted this for a friend as a Christmas gift.
This pattern* is my favourite for bookmark crosses.
I like that it's lacy but not overly so.
Even the men like it when tatted in hunter green or Prussian blue.
~~~
A modification: I joined the picots.
This way, the cross holds together better.
It tends to flop around when picots are not joined.
This is how it looks without joins.
Read about this cross here.
It's more delicate than the red one as I used finer thread.
I like both crosses ~ this pattern works, the thread just expresses different moods.
This one, fragile and the red one, strong.
