Needle Tatting
(2 Volume Set)
by Barbara A. Foster paperback, 1995 printing
Tatting with a needle dates back to the 1800s in England. But more people became familiar with Shuttle Tatting and its popularity grew because the aristocracy had jewels mounted on their shuttle, such as rubies and diamonds and it was more elegant. Needle Tatting is easier to learn and faster to do than Shuttle Tatting. There is no difference between the two in the end results. When you have completed both books you will have the necessary knowledge to Tat using Tatting Patterns.

Tatting is a type of knotted lace.
A shuttle and thread are used to make the lace. The stitch is formed over the hand. While the resulting lace looks quite delicate, tatting is actually simple to do. The tatted piece is made up of basically ‘two half hitch’ knots which are used not as a clove hitch, but as a Lark’s Head knot (also Cow Hitch) where the second half hitch is formed to vertically mirror the first half hitch. This double stitch is used over and over to form a pattern. Extra thread used between double stitches creates "picots" or loops of thread.
This book of instructions is an excellent source of reference and patterns. It has a wonderful selection of easy, intermediate, and challenging patterns. I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn to tat. Not only does it illustrate right hand tatting but it illustrates left hand tatting.
