Tatting Hearts

Description

This guide to tatting by a veteran needlecrafter provides explicit, clearly written instructions and over 100 illustrations for making 12 different tatted hearts. To create these lovely patterns, the author has developed two new techniques – “directional tatting”, a short-cut tactic involving reverse stitches, and “stacking”, a method that gives tatting a three dimensional look. Also included is a variation on the split ring technique perfected in the 1920s by the noted designer Anne Orr. Suitable for both beginners and experienced tatters. 32 pages.
