Tiny Powder Puff

When I originally made Halo, I had wanted something more like this. This reminded me of a tiny powder puff. It has 768 knots, uses 8 yards of tatting thread, and is 2.75 inches in diameter. I had to decrease the size of the of mesh stick from 3/8 inch to a smaller knitting needle which is 3.0 mm in diameter (slightly smaller than a #3 knitting needle). Then I was able to add more rounds of plain netting in both the center and on the edge.






























Here are the instructions:

Remember to tie a connecting knot (CK) at the end of each round to form the last loop of that round.

Regular Center
Round 1
mesh stick: #11 UK size (3 mm diameter) knitting needle (slightly smaller than an US #3)
Form a grommet with 32 loops, the last one tied by hand with a connecting knot (CK). (32 loops in the round)

Rounds 2-6
mesh stick: #3 knitting needle
Net 1 knot in each loop. (32 loops in each round)

Carrots Increase Stitch
Round 7
mesh stick: #11 UK size (3 mm diameter) knitting needle (slightly smaller than an US #3)
Net 2 knots in loop formed by CK, net 3 knots in all other loops. (96 loops in the round)

Rounds 8-12
mesh stick: #3 knitting needle

Net 1 knot in each loop. (32 loops in each round)
