This fits one of my medium sized ornaments- approx.
2 or 2 1/2 inches across.
The pattern is here: http://koroneczka.pl/
which is only part of the actual pattern which is here:
Side view # 1
Bottom view.
Tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Snow White. The plan
was to tat the whole pattern, but the top center
would not go over the hanger piece on the large
ornament and with a tiny stretch on the joining
picots it fit around the medium ornament top.
Top view(same as bottom).
So....I had to improvise and ended up tatting the
same top and bottom sections, but I left of the
thrown rings and joined to them instead. The
other problem was that the pattern shows a thrown
ring with the counts and only 6 picots, but I later
noticed that there are supposed to be 7 picots
which would have made joining easier.
Instead, I tatted 11 ds on the chain, joined to
one of the 2 middle picots, then 2 ds and joined
to the next middle picot, then 11 ds again.
Next time, there will be 7 picots and the chain
will be 12 join 12. :)
Side view # 2.
So....I am 1 ornament away from 1/2 way through
this personal challenge. The store which I bought
the stand from would like a picture of the stand
full of the tatted ornaments-before Christmas,
so....that is my goal!!! :)
Happy tatting everyone!!! :)

You had to do some fiddling, well done for such a pretty result! Good to have a goal, and you're certainly making your way towards it.
Thank you Jane!! :)
Beautiful bubble, lovely tatting, I expect that was fiddly to fit it on the bubble
Very creative!
Thank you both!! :)
Margaret, I tat the top, then tat the bottom joining to the top piece, then before the last 3 joins I put the ornament in place and that is where it becomes fiddly because I tat the rest holding the ornament and trying to keep the tatting a nice as possible. And I have to be careful not to put pressure on the ornament since it's glass.
