In this design, the small rings are made as self-closing mock rings (SCMRs). Here I show you an alternative way of getting the same result. A SCMR is basically a chain joined back onto itself to form a ring so all you need is a space in your chain to make the join. This video shows how to do it.

This vintage pattern can still be found in print but is also freely available online as it is now out of copyright. You can find it on pages 15-17 of the Priscilla Tatting Book no. 2, available here: georgiaseitz.com/public/pris2.pdf
