Tatting is a lace style based on knots. it is said tatting began with sailors tying knots in their ropes. Women became intrigued and tatting began. The basic stitch, a double stitch, looks like a “larks head knot”. tatting has been called “the hardest EASY thing you will ever learn”. Once the basic technique “clicks”, learning tatting becomes quite easy. This class will teach the double stitch and make a chain of double stitches. The chain will be turned into a clover leaf. If time permits, a ring of stitches will become a flower or butterfly.

Introduction to Tatting and Introduction to Bobbin Lace will be taught by members of Lacemakers Guild of Oklahoma (LMGO). Since 1990 LMGO has promoted lacemaking through monthly meetings, educational projects, demonstrations, and instruction.
