Tatting - A One-Shuttle Medallion

I often get requests for patterns "from start-to-finish". So here is a new one.
At 6:26, I show a trick for hiding one of the ends into a ring.
(Oh, and don't forget to adjust the settings to see the video in HD!)
I thought it would be a nice little challenge to write up the pattern for this medallion which features on the fabric of a bag I received as a gift.
You can find the written pattern on my blog

Click on the medallion image on the blog page and it will take you to the pattern.
Or here is direct link it also: drive.google.c...
Please print it and follow along!

Thank you so much for posting this step by step! I am finally advancing from rings and chains to multiple rows, so this will be a good little project to start developing a new skill. I find out of all lace making techniques I considered learning first, this is the most approachable and portable. Sometimes I can't carry around a knitting project but I do not want to have idle hands.

[@11Frivole]

Thank you for your comment, I'm glad to hear you are making progress and that you find my videos useful. I totally agree with you and it's one thing (of many) that I love about tatting: its portability. It takes no space at all and you can always have a little project on the go to carry around with you. :-)

[@WhatsMarlyUpTo]

I have been "KonMari-ing" my hobbies but have decided tatting 'sparks joy' for me so I'm keeping it .... plus it is a hobby that does not take up a mountain of space. Your new video has made me confirm I made the right decision. I'm going to save your video for a 'must do' later! You are so relaxing to watch and make me believe I can do this with your excellent instruction. THANK YOU!

[@11Frivole]

Thank you very much for your comment. I'm glad you are enjoying tatting and if I inspired you a little, then that's great. You are right that it doesn't take a lot of space and is also very easy to carry around - one of the many reasons I like it very much. I do enjoy variety though: so although tatting is a passion, I also have many other interests! Oh, and I need to look up KonMari-ing! :-)

[@luisak68]

Amazing. There isn't another word to describe you or your skills. I love your tutorial. They are fantastic. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us newbies, especially the magic loop & mock picot. Ive been looking for a hobby that keeps my hands busy. Tatting is perfect I really love the rhythm with the shuttle. Ive tried needle tatting to see if it suits me but I prefer the shuttle. I just thank the gods I found you. I couldnt ask for a better teacher.

[@Panneapple]

This is the trickiest motif I've attempted so far and it is, so far, going pretty well, all thanks to your guidance! Leaving bare thread is rather stressful in my opinion and part of me would rather deal with endless RW and chains to connect the rings, but I have to admit I love how delicate it looks! Practice makes perfect, so I'm sure I'll be more used to this once I've actually finished this medallion (and perhaps try making another?). Thank you for posting a video of making the pattern from start to finish, it is quite helpful!

[@11Frivole]

Hello, I'm glad you are enjoying this project. I'm sorry you find them stressful but yes, I agree with you that bare threads give a very delicate look to designs that use them. I love making one-shuttle designs and personally find them relaxing to work. Good luck!

[@Panneapple]

@@11Frivole It's been over a week, so I thought I'd give some update: now that I'm more used to it, I can say it's not stressful anymore! One reason I was not too comfortable is that the length of bare thread I left would always be somewhat inconsistent (a little too short at times, a little too long some other times), so it felt like the whole motif would be ruined -- but that's actually wrong. It's actually pretty forgiving. Of course, it looks much better with the proper, regular spacing, but small mistakes or inconsistencies aren't too noticeable from afar and, with practice, I'm getting a much better feeling for leaving an even length of bare thread. By the way, did you know where this motif is originally from? I saw it when reading an old book on Project Gutenberg: it's in Beeton's book of needlework, which has some patterns and techniques on tatting, as well as embroidery and some other types of needlework. I like your pattern much better, though: in the book, they use 3 separate rows, instead of climbing up with mock picots and split rings. Since your version is more efficient and there's less fuss about finishing off all those thread ends, it's easier to get into a nice tatting rythm and just enjoy the process.

[@ablindgibsongirl]

I love your videos. Another knowledgable tatter who can explain well enough to follow. I am a blind tatter so the more clear explanation the better. Must order more real tatting thread the crochet thread just isn't doing it.

Thank you for your comment and I'm very glad to hear you are able to follow my videos with sound only, it's nice to know they're useful.

[@pdxfox2604]

Decided to pick tatting back up after decades of a hiatus. I originally learned from books, and my goodness how much more fun it is with videos like yours! I had to watch most of the beginner videos too-no, tatting is not quite like riding a bike. My hands did retain a lot of muscle memory though-I know I must’ve spent hours and hours figuring out how to transfer the knot the first time years ago lol. Anyway, I subscribed to your channel but have to say I really really love tatting a full project alongside you! I don’t think I was ever as quick and smooth as you are, likely not even a quarter as good. It’s lovely to watch and inspiring. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us all and share your techniques! Truly invaluable!!

[@11Frivole]

Hello Asiyah and thank you so much for your lovely comment! I'm glad to hear you got back into tatting and happy if I had a small part to play in you doing so. Yes, you are right, we are so lucky now to have so much information available on internet. I also originally learned from books and it's so much easier when you can "see it in action". I'm overdue a new video and thinking at the moment what I should do next but perhaps another small start-to-finish project would be a good idea. :-)

[@christinewilliamson825]

Hello I am a beginner but I notice that when I finish my ring I cant pull the working thread with the shuttle to tighten it. I can only pull the other thread. What am I doing wrong?

[@11Frivole]

Hi Christine, I think it must mean that your knots are not transferred (or flipped) correctly. To start off, check after each half knot you make to ensure that the core thread still slides within the stitches. I have a beginners' video that really concentrate on transferring the knot, maybe that would help?

[@11Frivole]

Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYjHk6uBYrOohLs

[@erica9443]

I'm not sure if this comment makes sense but-- does the picot stitch count as one of the next regular stitches in between? For instance if I'm making the first ring, is it 2 double stitches, the picot stitch, and then 2 more regular double stitches? Or is it 2 double stitches, the picot, and then one, since on the thread the finished picot stitch counts as one?

[@11Frivole]

Hello Erica, the picot makes the first half of the next stitch because the picot is just basically a gap left on the thread between two stitches. Does that make sense?

[@MaggiL749]

Hello, I am a complete beginner. Does it matter how the shuttle is put thro, under or above the string?

[@11Frivole]

Hello Maggi, yes it does matter as the complete stitch is made up of two half stitches and the shuttle has to follow a specific path to make the stitch. I have a beginner video that explains how to make a tatting stitch if you're interested, you can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYjHk6uBYrOohLs

[@jamesduff300]

Hi I'm trying to figure out needle tatting.Could tell me how I can tell which is the rw side.Im not getting this ?Confused

[@11Frivole]

In traditional tatting, you reverse working when going from a ring to a chain and vice-versa. The side where the double stitch has a little bar across the top would be the front side (sorry can't add a drawing here to illustrate what I'm saying!). In this pattern, there is only one "reverse work" after the first central ring and that is so you can have the shuttle on the right side (accessible for your right hand) after making the mock picot. The rest of the pattern is all worked from the same side. Probably too long of an explanation and no doubt made it even more confusing for you!

[@guillermija]

great video, and very relaxing, just one question: when you turn your work over and start the first tiny ring, shouldn´t you start with the second half of the double stitch? as it is turned over, all the ds will look good in one side.

[@11Frivole]

Hi, yes, you certainly can if you prefer to tat FS/BS. I sometimes do but also often tat the regular/traditional way, always starting with the first half. In this case especially, the tiny rings are so small that it's hardly noticeable. :-)

Hello Paola, I modify and decorate the shuttles I use in my videos. I have been selling them for years in my Etsy shop but have been on a break during the last two years due to other commitments. I hope to occasionally have some for sale again during the summer. www.etsy.com/shop/lacossette

Great tutorial thank you. What thread do you use for the magic loop?

[@rosemarykearsley5584]

@@kbec11 thanks for that info. I have nearly finished my second medallion tonight while watching the Australian Open tennis.

@@rosemarykearsley5584 Hi Rosemary, I use beading wire like Fireline, it works great, is incredibly strong, and can be folded out of the way (I like the 6lb kind). (Sorry I'd replied with the wrong account before!). Glad you are enjoying making the medallions!

You need to go alittle slower for newbies. Love the pattern

[@11Frivole]

Hello Jeannie, yes you are right that it may be a little fast for beginners but I'm tatting at my normal speed to demonstrate the pattern, slowing down where I'm explaining particular techniques. I do have several beginners videos on my channel where I work slower. :-)

Ну почему не на русском языке? И почему, не иглой? Не могу я никак освоить челнок......

Piz do slowly mam

[@lietjenwidjaja]

👏👏👏💕💕💕😘😘😘😍😍😍

[@jessicasotelo2285]

Slow please

[@11Frivole]

Hello, I try to show all the important parts slowly but I do make the stitches quickly as I assume a basic knowledge of tatting for these videos. I do have beginner videos where I tat each stitch very slowly. :-)

[@bethg.5611]

Slow down.
