Diagram by Jane Eborall
Note the circular motif formed by five repeats with the floating rings joined in the center.
Variation of the edging as a round motif tatted by Shanan Strode.
These rings may be joined into one large picot formed on the first floating ring to which the other rings will join as they are tatted.
Or, use the swirl join in which all the rings are tatted first until the last ring which joins into the other 4 rings all at one time in a swirling motion. Insert a crochet hook into a each picot one each ring to which a join is desired. Keep the rings in order. Pull the loop thread through all those picots to make a swirl join.
