This example is tatted in the traditional way.
Reverse Work "RW" means to flip from top to bottom.
Turn Work "TW" means to turn like a page in a book...from right to left.
Notice how the chain turned directions. I use a lot of TW's in my patterns.
Here's a bonus picture showing a "floating ring". If Orange is Shuttle #1 and green is shuttle #2 (in lieu of ball thread), you can use shuttle #2 to throw off rings.
