- Over the years I've had lots of questions and people interested in tatting this pattern. After several requests... finally!: this is the first in a series of videos which will explain how to make it.

This vintage pattern can still be found in print but is also freely available online as it is now out of copyright. You can find it on pages 15-17 of the Priscilla Tatting Book no. 2, available here: www.georgiaseit...
On my blog, you can also find a written explanation of the first round of the pattern with photos which you may find useful in complement to the video: leblogdefrivole...
I am tatting with Lizbeth thread is size 20, colourway 660 (Country Turquoise Lt).
OMG frivole!! I missed your tatting videos, I have read your blog and seen your video about this trellis doily. So amazed at your beautiful tutorial!
Very glad to hear it, thank you for your lovely comment! :-)
Thank you so much!! I'm still learning shuttle tatting with your videos and when I get better at it, I'm definitely trying this. I'm way better at needle tatting but it looks like it suits shuttle more. Love your videos :)
Thank you for your comment. I hope you'll enjoy learning to shuttle-tat. This isn't the easiest of patterns but when you break it down in small parts, it's all do-able! :-)
You never figure it out how much you are helping me. Thank you so much for teach this beautiful work.
You're very welcome and thank you so much Patricia for your nice comment. :-)
Hello, this is just lovely to be aided by a highly talented teacher and skilled artisan. Thank you for presenting this pattern clearly and well organized. Enjoy your day. Susan
You are so welcome! Thank you for your kind comment. :-)
What a gift to the tatting community! Thank you for this lovely, clear video!
You're very welcome and what a kind thing of you to say! :-)
Oh, my! This looks so complicated but you made it look easy. I might be seeing the difficulty through tired eyes. 🥱 I will have another looksee when I am well rested.
So lovely to watch you tat. XO~Maria
Hi Maria, you are right, this definitely isn't the simplest of patterns but once you get into it, it's not that difficult either. You have to break it down into small parts and then it seems more achievable. This pattern has been popular so I wanted to help more people tackle it if they wished.
@@11Frivole I am excited to follow this pattern. Yes, breaking it up, rather than looking at it as a whole, makes it so much more achievable. Thank you and I will get my shuttle and ball thread going. :)
OMG! this is beautiful!! i'm a beginner at shuttle tatting so i'm a bit nervous but i'm going to try
You can do it! Good luck! :-)
I am in awe of the tatting work of this piece! Definitely still a beginner here...
Hello Joan-Maria, thank you for your comment. With a bit of practice, it won't take long before you're able to make this! :-)
You make this look so easy. My fingers are shorter than yours. Especially my pinky finger, which causes the thread in my left hand to only stay just behind that last finger joint. It makes it much more difficult to relax my hand. I call this finger gymnastics. The self closing mock ring is insanley difficult for my hand. I have tried wrapping the ball thread a couple of more times around my pinky finger to try to allow me to relax my left hand and still be able to do that first stitch. So hard for me. Wow you are so good at this. My wrist is so sore after 4 repeats. I am sure I am doing somthing wrong. I did not have carple tunnel but I might, now. I must be holding things too tight or pulling closed too hard. I will continue to watch your fantasic examples and try to emulate that. It seems so effortless for you. I love your techniques and your video quality is outstanding. Very easy to see, exactly, the position of the thread and what I need to do. Please keep doing videos.
Update: It turns out, wrapping that loop around my pinky finger instead of ring finger, works perfectly. I guess my ring finger just has no dexterity. I have it down now. Thank you so much for the clear videos. I have learned so much from you.
Dear Pandora, thank you for your lovely comment! Are you a new tatter? Perhaps it just takes time for your hand to adjust to the movements and not feel tense as you are making them. Tension should not be too tight as to make your fingers feel cramped. I'm sure that with some practice you will be able to relax your hand more and still be able to make the stitches. :-)
Hi Pandora, do you mean wrapping the loop at the start of a SCMR? I've never tried it with my pinky finger but I will next time! It just felt comfortable to me with my ring finger but you have to go with what feels best for you.
@@11Frivole yes, the SCMR where you wrap the loop around your ring finger. I cannot perform this at all. I have discovered if I wrap ball thread around my pinky a couple of extra times to keep thread from sliding and then wrap loop from my shuttle around my pinky and hold it for the first two stitches, then drop that loop, I can do this pretty easily now. Yes, I am fairly new to tatting. I love your videos, like I said earlier.
Omg, this is iconic! It looks scary to start since I'm a beginner, but I can't wait to start this one!
I hope you do! It's not too scary if you tackle it one row at a time. Please let me know how you get on. :-)
The SCMRs of the first round can be made as regular rings instead so let me know if you have any problems.
Gorgeous! I would love to make this. I’m new to shuttle tatting. I hope to be as skilled as you one day.
Hi Ahslen, glad you like it and I'm sure it won't be long before you are confident enough to make this. If you think of it as just one round at a time, it becomes less daunting. :-)
I have had my eye on this pattern since 2013 when I started tatting. Thank you for this series. I'm excited to start it. Where do you get such smooth shuttles? I don't hear a click when you wind it.
Hello Lequita, I hope you'll enjoy making this wonderful vintage design. I make the shuttles I use in my videos (yes, they are smooth and quiet), they are modified and decorated Aero shuttles and I regularly have some for sale in my Etsy shop should you be interested: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LaCossette
Why don’t you close the large ring with a loop similar to the small mock ring?
Hi Nancy, that's a good question! In fact, with hindsight, I don't know why I didn't make the very first large ring as a regular ring... maybe I just wanted to show a different technique, I can't remember now why I made that choice. As for all the other large rings, yes you could make them as self-closing mock rings too but I believe I chose the alligator join because it was more in keeping with the original pattern (would need to go back to examine the pattern again) and I like the look of it and is maybe easier to accomplish than a SCMR?
I love your shuttle may I ask what make it is?
Hello Dorothy, glad you like it! It's a modified and decorated Aero which I make myself. I sometimes have some for sale in my Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/lacossette.
Disculpa donde compras tus hermosas lanzaderas
Hola Maria Elena, las hago yo misma. También los vendo en mi tienda de Etsy: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/lacossette
Que bueno que me dices. Voy a pedirlas. Tambien vendes las tatsi con gancho?
@@11Frivole diculpa que tipo de bobina usas y como se enrolla
@@11Frivole Hola fijate que iba a proceder al pago de dos lanzaderas la de mariposas y white ros y ya no estan disponibles.
I'm a needle tatter. Would the victorian chain be made the same way as with Shuttles?
Hi Dan, I'm no expert with the needle but it seems to me it would work just as well, simply making 4 first half of a ds, followed by 4 second half of a ds. Let me know how you get on! :-)
@@11Frivole I was told they are called Josephine chain with needle tatting... I'll fool a round with it and see how it turns out..
So happy to have this video!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
You're very welcome! :-)
You are an excellent teacher. Thank you.
Thank you! 😃
the pattern that looks like two leaves is called what? All I could understand was a victorian .....
Do you mean two little "Vs"? Otherwise I'm not sure what you mean by "two leaves". They are called "Victorian Sets" and they make a V shape when seen from above.
ANYBODY KNOW WHAT PAGE THIS BEAUTY IS ON CAUSE I MUST BE BLIND; CAN NOT FIND IT.....
Hi Frances, if you look at this link: www2.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/monographs/pris_tat2.pdf
It's on page 16.
Cuantos picot tiene la vuelta 8 por favor
Hi Doris, I replied to your previous messages and gave a link to the start of round 8 video. I hope it helps!
you are my teacher of tatting!
Thank you Raphaël! :-)
Absolutely genius having all the stitches made with the ball thread! I truly dislike hiding ends. If you’re making it as a collar, is one able to omit joining it into a round?
Yes, I agree about stitches with the ball thread and it means hardly having to refill your shuttle which is another good thing. Yes, you could omit joining if you wish and leave it open at the back but you'd have to adjust the pattern a bit on the edges.
Can this be done with needle tatting?
Hello, needle tatters tell me that everything can be done with a needle but I'm afraid I am not experienced enough with a needle myself to give advice on how to complete this complex design with a needle.
@@11Frivole thank you for your reply 😊
does it take more than one ball/skein of Lizbeth size 20?
The first one I made weighs 23 grams so one ball should be enough but it depends a bit on your tension and how much wastage of thread you end up with. I'll be able to confirm once I complete this version.
Love this! Thank you, looking forward to tatting along
Wonderful! Hope you enjoy making it! :-)
Good day, Something happens with the image quality during the video, occasionally the image becomes blurred. I don't know what you're shooting with, but in the earlier videos it was better quality, sharp and clear
Hi Igor, I must admit this video is not one of my best as I had to do it in sections and re-do parts of the video (I kept making mistakes!). However, I cannot see where you say the image is blurry as when I view it from my end, the image seems fine all the way through the video (although the sound and image may seem slightly different from section to section because it was not all filmed at the same time).
@@11Frivole Thank you for answer😃
@@igorcico2754 Just to say, I have now made a second version of this video (on white background this time). You'll have to let me know if it's better! I will upload it soon.
Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure! :-)
What a blessing. Thank you.
You're very welcome Julie. :-)
