Chinese Dragon
Design: Anne Bruvold In July 2009 I went to China to see the total solar eclipse of 22nd July. After the experience I decided I had to make a dragon! This was supposed to be a solar eclipse dragon, but turned out a Chinese dragon. The Chinese dragon can be made with either the sun or a pearl in his mouth. You can also tat the pearl to find the size and use it to find a fittingbutton or similar to replace the tatted pearl. You can also give it a pearl to hold in is claws. Most of the pattern is rings and chains, but you also need to know how to make Self Closing Mock Rings. A Self Closing Mock Ring (SCMR) is in reality a chain curving to join the end to the beginning of the chain. You can have floating rings on a SCMR the same was as you can have a floating ring on achain. To make a SCMR, make a loop of the shuttle thread letting it run from the pinch holding the tatting around the pinkie on the same hand, back to the pinch before tatting as if tatting a chain. Take care not to pull out the loop. When the SCMR is done, put the shuttle through the loop, and close the loop by pulling the shuttle thread. See http://nuperelle.net/om/hvordan/Video/FalskRing.wmv for avideo. There is no narration, and Norwegian text.

You need
Two shuttles A suitable dragon colour thread White or very bright yellow for the sun, or grey or metallic for the pearl.

Pattern
Hide ends using yourpreferred method. Start by making either Sun or Pearl Sun R: 1--2^2--2---2--2^2--2^2--2---2--2^1. Make sure the shuttle thread exits the ring at the backside as this will make the ring more circular. For extra effect, make the decorative picots twisted picots. Pearl R: 2^8^4^8^2. Make sure the shuttle thread exits the ring at the backside as this will make the ring more circular. The dragon Thedragon is done using two shuttles. Start using CTM (continuous thread method) if you wish. Hide ends as you go by tatting over ends or similar. Reverse work between rings and chains unless otherwise noted. Use Shuttle 1 as working shuttle until the tail. Lower part of head The first two rings are to be joined to two joining picots at the sun ring with only one decorative picot in between.
