Required: one shuttle wound with thread (will be great to use up shuttle ends)
start your ring with a 8-10" tail thread
R 3-----2-----4-4-----2-----3
C 12 (you are making the chain with the tail you left)
Cut central picot at the peak
In long terms it would be;
Make a ring of 3ds, very very long picot, 2ds, very very long picot, 4ds, small picot, 4ds, very very long picot,3ds
Chain 12 with the 8-10" tail you left
Cut central picot (or small picot)
Now, I didn't sew in my ends as they're at the base of the tail I knotted them, added a tiny amount of glue, twisted them together and then cut 1mm from the knot. It made it look like the tail tapered off.
