cloverleaf = three rings joined with no bare thread between them
Split Ring = ring partly tatted and partly wrapped (ds not flipped)
Split Chain = chain partly tatted and partly wrapped (ds not flipped)
Round 1
R 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 clr rw (6 picots)
*CH 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 rw (7 picots)
R 3 - 3 + 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 clr rw Repeat from * for total of 7 rings.
Make the last chain a split chain.
Split chain 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 / 3 - 3 - 3 climb out with a mock picot.
Round 2
Climb into round 2 with a split ring.
Split Ring 3 - 3 - 3 / 3 - 3 - 3 clr dnrwv
CH 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 rw
*R 3 - 3 - 3 + (join to third picot of chain in round 2) 3 - 3 - 3 clr rw
CH 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 rw
R 3 - 3 - 3 + (join to fifth picot of chain in round 2) 3 - 3 - 3 clr rw
CH 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 rw

AJ made two circles of soft satin (matched to the bridal colors) and sewed them together leaving a space to turn. After turning sew opening shut and press flat. Baste tatting to satin and sew down with tiny stitches. Run a ribbon through the side rings of the cloverleaf to gather. Many thanks to AJ Suttong for sharing her work with the online tatting class.
