MATERIALS:
6 yards of red thread. I used Flora #20 bought in Germany
2 Shuttles, wind 2 yards on Sh1 and 4 yards on Sh2

ABBREVIATIONS and GENERAL DIRECTIONS:
This pattern incorporates many techniques:

• SCMR = Self Closing Mock Ring, as promoted by the Shuttle brothers. To see how to do it refer to Jane Eborall's pattern on the Ring of Tatters web pages. Click on the 'Patterns' shuttle.
• The use of two shuttles = Sh1 and Sh2
• The picot = -, they are not decorative in this pattern so should just be made big enough to join to.
• The normal join = +
• The Lock Join = LJ
• The Josephine knot = JK, made up of 12 half stitches

If you are not sure about any of the Abbreviations I have used look at the Abbreviations in TAT FIVE

Note: On the diagram here, the numbers on one side are to be reflected on the other side.
Start the SCMR with Sh1 and make Rings A to I off it with Sh2.
After closing the SCMR, make a chain all round the heart using Sh1 as the core thread. LJ to the picots on the rings as you go. With Sh2 make a JK by the LJ as well as half way along some of the chains - see diagram.
Fasten off to the middle of the second of 8 chain and sew in ends.
