in Oslo and the massacre at Utøya, July 22nd 2011. The pattern is

You need

Two shuttles and a thread of choice.

The chains are joined to the ring by Catherine Wheel Joins (CWJ). Here is a video

showing how to do that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMmcLLTXcVI.

SLT Shoe Lace Trick

CTM Continuous Thread Method, pull some thread off the first shuttle and wind it to the

second

Pattern

Reduce the number of thread ends by using CTM If you are doing right/wrong side tatting, start from the behind R: 10-4-10. Note: small picots C: -24+2 Note: small picot and join by CWJ SLT This helps making the point more pointy R: 2&2. Try making only one "twist" on the picot SLT C: 2+24. Remember: CWJ Make sure the second chain is about the same size as the first before cutting the threads, pull one of them throug the tiny picot at the start of the first chain, tying and hiding the ends.

The hearts can also be done using two colours
