Beaded Plate Decor, Meherap 

Fig 1

Hi friends,
This week I made this Meherap as explained in my post on Nov 17th of this year. I have also used beads in this plate decor. It is simple lace.

I used 4 ply wool and 30 beads for this.

Pattern:
Loop 1:Make 12 chs and remove the needle and insert it in the first ch and then pass the last st through the first and make a loop.
Loop 2: [Now ch 7 and db tr (double treble) in the first ch. Now make ch 1 and 10 sc (single crochet) on one side of this ch7-loop, then I also pass and attach a bead at the centre, then sc 10 on other side of the loop, place one bead
 and slip st with the first sc.

Loop 3: Now again ch 7 and db tr in first ch, note that h in this loop we don't make scs.]Repeat from [ to ] till the required length. Fig 2
lastly make the 12 ch loop as we made initially.

Fig 5

Now,
[[Ch 5 join in the middle of loop 2.
Then {ch 2 and db tr in the loop3 on the side which is formed by db tr (and not by chs), ch3-picot} repeat 4 more times, db tr 1 in the same loop (without ch3-picot), ch 2 join with middle st of next loop 2.]] Fig 3

Repeat this till the last loop of 12 chs.
In the last 12 ch loop make such 15 db tr and ch3-picots, all in ch12-loop 1. Fig 4
The complete plate decor (meherap) would look like fig 5.
