Tatting description |
---|
Tatting is a technique for handcrafting a particularly durable lace from a series of knots and loops. Tatting can be used to make lace edging as well as doilies, collars, accessories such as earrings and necklaces, and other decorative pieces. The lace is formed by a pattern of rings and chains formed from a series of cow hitch or half-hitch knots, called double stitches, over a core thread. Gaps can be left between the stitches to form picots, which are used for practical construction as well as decorative effect. * Tatting dates to the early 17th century, as evidenced in a poem by Sir Charles Sedley, "The Royal Knotter", written in the late 1600s and published posthumously in 1707. He writes of Queen Anne "knotting" as she rides abroad in her carriage. The term for tatting in most European languages is derived from French frivolité, which refers to the purely decorative nature of the textiles produced by this technique. The technique was developed to imitate point lace.In German, tatt |
