Tatting
is a lacemaking technique. The lace is formed with a pattern of rings and chains that are made from a repetition of knots, called double stitches (ds), over a core thread. Tatting dates to the early 19th century.
There are two methods of tatting:
Shuttle Tatting
(early 1800's)
This is the older method . Thread is wound on a shuttle. The shuttle is passed under and over a core thread to form double stitches.
