Tracy’s Persian Tiles extended border

This pattern is adapted from Jane Crowfoot’s original design for Persian Tiles. It assumes you already
know the abbreviations. I always start with standing stiches and close with a hidden stitch. I have direct
permission to publish this pattern from Janie Crowfoot as I am offering it for free and it does not include
any instructions for the main pattern. Please keep in mind that I am a newbie to actually writing down
my patterns. If you find any mistakes, please let me know. I did not count stitches until it came to the V
stitches as I needed a specific amount to create the mini fans. In the chart you will see an odd symbol. I
used a free program to produce it and I could not find a triple crochet 2 together!

Note: this is my first real try with a
free stitch diagram program. I could
not for the life of me, fit that 3TR,
ch2, 3TR into the diagram so it is off
to the side. Those cone looking things
are them!
