I have climbed to this round at the blue dot in photo using split ring.anf moved in the round further in clockwise direction.as I reached the red spot,to km avoid cutting and rejoining threads I used the split chain technique to join to the base of first split ring.
After I tatted a ring (shown at blue dot)I left some bare thread to tat the chain between the rings,then tatted a ring and left some bare thread for chain tatting and joined to the first split ring using lock join.(at the black dot).now I will tat the chains and reach back to blue dotted point to start the next chain only round.
This is the photo of doily after split chain tatting.
