Inner Motif (tatted in green):
R4-4-4, *ch 4-4-4, R4j4-4, repeat from * 3 more times,
ch 4-4-4, R4j4 join to first ring 4, chain 4-4-4,
tie into base of first ring.
Second Motif (tatted in red):
R 3-3-3-3-3-3, ch 3-3-3-3-3-3
* R 3-3-3-3-3-3, ch 3j3-3-3-3-3, rpt from * 3 more times
R 3-3-3-3-3-3, ch 3j3-3-3-3j3, tie into base of first ring
Now take the second motif and weave it through the first motif - one ring through each of the spaces below each chain in the first motif. (Look at picture)
Final Row:
Shuttle join the thread to the last picot on any of the red rings. All joins are shuttle joins
Ch 3-3-3-3, j to first picot of next red ring,
ch 3-3-3-3-3-3-3 (6 picots), j to last picot on same ring, repeat 5 more times,
on the last repeat tie the chain into the first stitch of the first chain to finish.
The pattern also looks nice as a snowflake - I really wanted to do it with a pale blue, but I didn't have that, so I made it with a sort of mint color and white. I also added beads around the outer row.
Also, just a note - the pattern will try to ruffle until you block it, but then it lies flat just fine :-)
