Introduction
Tktting has been the favorite form of fancy work since the 16th Century, and possesses endless
possibilities of adaptation. The shuttles used at that time were exquisitely made in ivory, gold and
silver, and one may see in museums the beautiful and costly inlaid shuttles.
The term Tatting is derived from an Indian word "Tattie, " which means to make tight or taut, —
a sort of half knotted work done with different sized shuttles and many kinds of thread. The French
call it "Frivolit^" from its delicate and lacy appearance. In the present day simple designs are com-
bined with novelty braids, laces and hand embroidery, also the tatted flowers or flower shaped medal-
lions are used in place of the solid embroidery, thus giving to these modern designs an artistic effect
almost equal to the fragile and beautiful ones of the 16th Century.
Publishers' Announcement
The vogue of tatting prompted the publication of this instruction book. With the assistance of
expert designers we have chosen over ISO new models, all beautiful and artistic patterns, in Edges,
Insertions, Medallions, Appliqu^, Luncheon Sets, Dresser Scarfs, Pillow Slips, Towels, Nightgowns,
Waists, Collars, Bags, Children's Dresses, Handkerchiefs, Candleshades, Vases, Bonbon Baskets,
Hat Bands, etc.
An extensive use is now being made of much coarser threads for tatting than formerly were con-
sidered suitable, and this form of needlework is now often used for the edges of towels, scarfs, center-
pieces, etc., where in years gone by it was confined to very fine threads and lacy patterns.
Beautiful effects can be made by tatted designs combining two or more colors. In this book we have
only attempted to show a few of the many uses and adaptations to which these original tatted motifs
can be put.

Crocheted Buttons, all can be easily made by following
the simple instructions given. Price 10 cents a copj'.
Materials for Working
The materials needed for the Art of Tatting are few and simple — a shuttle, a crochet hook, and
thread which has a "cable laid" twist are all that are required.
Shuttles. For ordinary work the vulcanite shuttles, which can be bought for ten cents and up,
are the best. These are black and, being light weight and smooth, are more pliable and easier to handle
than those of bone, mother of pearl, metal or other hard substances.
Thread. Because of its firm, even, "cable laid " twist and perfectly round surface Corticelli Mercer-
ized Cordonnet is admirably suited for tatting for the decoration of table linens, lingerie, handkerchiefs,
bedroom linens, etc. Besides white it comes in ecru and linen colors to match materials used for curtains
and scarfs, and in several delicate shades dyed fast colors for edgings for towels, luncheon sets and
handkerchiefs which are now so popular.
Some materials, however, such as infants' flannel skirts and silk caps, ladies' crepe de Chine waists,
etc., call for a silk thread. For this work Corticelli Crochet and Knitting Silk is best suited and it may
be had in cream, white and in many beautiful fast colors.
Princess Pearl Crochet Cotton Size 5 may be used for Turkish towels where a soft and rather
heavy edge is desired. A simple edging made of this material is also effective on huckabuck towels.
It comes in white, cream and about twenty-five fast colors.
These materials come in all sizes, and the skilled needleworker will have no difficulty in selecting
the size of thread suited for the work in hand. To help the less experienced, however, we have included
in many of the instructions the size of thread generally used for the different articles.
More or less difficulty and inconvenience are always experienced in matching colors, the number of
the color to be matched often being lost or mislaid. To avoid this we have issued Color Card No. 37
showing the actual colors and sizes in all the different Corticelli and Princess Cottons. This card costs
10 cents and may be obtained from your dealer or will be mailed direct.

Explanation of Stitches
To fill the shuttle pass thread through the hole provided for this purpose and proceed to wind until
the thread projects a little beyond the sides. The stitches are made with the left hand, the thread in
the right hand being held "taut" and away from you so as not to tie a knot. Tatting in reality is quite
simple and if the positions of the hands in the illustrations are carefully followed there will be no difficulty
in making the stitches.
Single or Half Stitch. The first thing to learn is
the single or half stitch. Take shuttle in the right
hand and the end of the thread between the thumb
and forefinger of the left hand, placing the thread
over the fingers as shown in Fig. 1, allowing thread
enough for easy movement of the two fingers now
under the loop. Bring it back between the thumb
and forefinger, crossing the threads as shown. Pass
the thread from the shuttle under the second and
third finger and over little finger of your right hand,
giving the shuttle the direction as shown in Fig. 1. Pj^ j
Now pass the shuttle between the first and
second fingers of the left hand to the back of the
hand, bringing it out behind the loop, drawing the
shuttle thread "taut," stopping with a quick move-
ment while the left hand closes or draws the knot.
(Fig. 2.)
This is where the amateur's trouble arises as the
beginner is apt to let the shuttle thread slacken, and
in that case it ties a knot and will not slip. This
Fig. 2 can be overcome if you will, after passing the shuttle
through the loop, hold the shuttle thread away from
you and "taut" but hold the left hand motionless.
Double Stitch. Raise the third finger of the left
hand to make the stitch which is the first half of the
double stitch. The shuttle thread must be kept
"taut" and not moved while using the left hand, as
it is the left hand that completes the stitches, while
the right hand or shuttle thread is the part which
runs through the stitches to allow the ring to be
drawn up. (Fig. 3.)
Fig. 3
The second half of the stitch is made by passing
shuttle, as shown, over the thread and under the
loop between the first and third fingers of the left
hand, the right hand taking the shuttle from under
the empty loop, the left hand closing the stitch the
same as in the first half stitch, forming the double
stitch. Always allow sufficient length of thread to
permit the shuttle to pass through the first and
third fingers without touching them. (Fig. 4.)
Picot. After forming a double stitch the hand
takes the same position as in Fig. 1. To make
a picot take a long half stitch, say one fourth of an
inch or more, commonly called a single stitch,
separated by a double stitch.
Picots are a series of single stitches and should be
of uniform size. Fig. S shows 1 picot, 1 double
stitch and 1 picot.
Tatting with Two Shuttles. Two shuttles or
shuttle and ball are used in tatting when the little
rings are not to be connected at the bottom by a
thread, when you wish to hide the passage of the
silk to another group of knots, and when threads of
two or more colors are used.
Wind shuttle and do not cut from spool if work is
to be all of one color. If in two colors then two
shuttles are wound, using first one and then the
other. The second shuttle thread is passed from
thumb and forefinger over third finger of left hand,
and, instead of forming a loop around the fingers, the
thread is held with the fourth and little finger and
the stitches are worked in the usual way. (Fig. 6.)
Fig. 6
Stitches Commonly Used
These are the stitches most commonly used in
tatting, grouped together. They should be
thoroughly mastered by practice and a close study
of the instructions in the foregoing pages.
Single or Half Stitch {Group No. 7). A group of
single stitches drawn up into rings. Place thread
around fingers and work 10 single stitches. Take
loop off fingers, hold stitches between thumb and
forefinger, and draw shuttle thread up close to form
a ring, leaving one fourth of an inch of thread, and
repeat.
Double Stitch {Group No. S). A group of
double stitches drawn up into rings.
Picots {Group No. 9). Leave about one fourth
of an inch of thread between S double or complete
stitches, draw up, and the picots project with the
stitches.
Joining of Rings {Group No. 10). The joining
stitch connects the different parts of a design.
With a crochet hook draw upper thread through
picot of first ring and pass shuttle through it,
holding shuttle thread "taut."
Josephine Knot {Group, No. 11). Used in many of
the old designs; made by tatting 5 double stitches
and drawing up just about half.
Dots {Group No. 12). Tat 5 double stitches and
draw up almost to a ring.

Materials: For handkerchiefs or where
a very small, fine edge is desired, use CMC
Cordonnet Size 70 or 100. For edgings for
collar and cuff sets, baby dresses, waists,
lingerie or other wearing apparel, luncheon
and bedroom sets, choose Size 40 or 50.
For huck towel edgings select CMC Size 30,
or Princess Pearl Size 5, if it is to be a narrow
edge. Princess Pearl Crochet Cotton may
also be used on Turkish towels. For curtains
select CMC Size 30 or 40, in white, ecru or
linen. For heavy linen crash for scarfs, etc.,
use CMC Size 3 or 5, in ecru or linen.
For baby's flannel garments, silk bonnets,
etc., Corticelli Crochet and Knitting Silk is
very suitable, either in cream or white, and
this silk is also used for trimmings on crSpe
de Chine waists, silk lingerie, etc.
Edging No. 13. The simplicity of this
edging makes it very adaptable. A row or
two of simple filet crochet across the top
transforms it into a charming edge for dresser
scarf and day pillows, towels, etc., or as an
edging for Valenciennes insertion it makes a
pretty waist trimming. It is also appro-
priate for doily or centerpiece, or made of
Corticelli Crochet and Knitting Silk it is a
dainty edge for baby's petticoat or bonnet.
Instructions: R. 5 d.s., 1 p., 5 d.s., 1 p.,
5 d.s., 1 p., 5 d.s., close; rp., joining first p.

Edging No. 14 is suitable for centerpiece
and doilies developed in C M C Cordonnet,
in white or in shade No. 213 blue, and is
equally pretty for collar and cuff sets,
handkerchiefs or lingerie. It is pretty in
either C M C or Princess Pearl Crochet
Cotton for huck or Turkish towels; the
latter material, while not so generally used,
gives a nice soft edge that is very desirable,
and it may be obtained either in white or
in colors, blue or pink being the colors
usually selected, while yellow, although a
little out of the ordinary, is very attractive
in a small edge for towels.

Collar No. 106
(By Cynthia H. Lawrence)
A pretty tatted edge and corner motifs appliqu^d to a piece of organdie will give distinction to
any collar. Use Corticelli Mercerized Cordonnet Size 50.
Instructions: Make a chain the desired length, or if you wish you can leave the spool and shuttle
attached to continue the trim-
ming. The first time across, ch.
10 d. s., p., 10 d. s., repeating the
p. at intervals of 10 d.s. through
the strip. Fasten spool and
shuttle thread together. Make
a ring with 4 d. s. between p.,
holding the ch. with p. towards
you, fasten the second p. of ring
to the first p. in chain. Finish
the ring, and close. Turn work,
and ch. 10 d. s. Turn and make
a clover leaf, fastening first ring
of leaf at 2d p. to the last p. of
preceding ring. The 2d p. of
2d ring of leaf is fastened to the
2d p. of long chain. Continue in
this way, first a ring, then a
clover leaf, next a ring, with a
chain of 10 d. s. between each.
The corner motifs are simply
5 clover leaves, with a chain of
10 d. S. between each leaf. Organdie Collar with Tatted Edge No. 106
31
Make a very narrow hem on the collar, and instead of sewing the trimming on the edge in the usual
way, lay it on the outside, sewing it in place with very fine thread and as blindly as possible. It gives
an altogether different effect, and is necessary here, as the picots have been omitted.

Tatting
Combined with Braid
Most attractive patterns can be
easily invented by combining tat-
ting and different kinds of braid.
This gives variety and at the same
time permits much faster progress
than when the entire work is in
tatting. The patterns on this page
are worked in Corticelli Mercerized
-Cordonnet Size 50.

Silk Bag No. 124
By Mrs. F. L. Smith
The bag is ten inches high and eight Inches wide and is made of a good quality of heavy pongee
silk. The decoration is of tatting worked in Corticelli Crochet and Knitting Silk in color to match the
bag. A less expensive bag could be made of linen, with tatting in Corticelli Cordonnet Size 10.
Measure the center of bag below the inch hem, and mark it with a knot of thread. Both sides
of bag are alike in decoration.
For center medallion make a 9 p. ring with 2 d. s. between p., then a 9 p. scallop with 2 d. s. between
p. s. Continue with alternate ring and scallop until you have 8 rings and 8 scallops, join.
Make a 7 p. ring with 2 d. s. between each picot, join it to the 5th p. of the scallop of the center
medallion at the 4th p. of ring. Make
an 8 p. ch. with 2 d. s. between each
p., 7 p. ring,. then another chain, con-
tinue until the center ring is surrounded
by 8 points.
Make a 7 p. ring and join to a point
at the 4th p. of rings; then a 5 p.
scallop with 2 d. s. between p., 4 more
rings like the first, not joined together,
and S scallops like the first. Make a 7
p. ring and join it to the next point of
center at the 4th p. of rings. Repeat,
finishing medallion. Appliqu^ on bag.
The sides and lower end of bag are
trimmed with border of double tatting
made with spool and shuttle.
Make rings of 11 p. with 2 d. s.
between p.'s. With spool and shuttle,
make bars of 3 p. with 2 d. s. between,
finish with a ring to make a clover leaf.
A seven pointed star is placed at each
of the lower corners of bag after the
double tatting is sewed on.
To make the stars: 1st, make a 9
p. ring with 2 d. s. between p. Ch. with
spool and shuttle 5 p. with 2 d. s.
between each p., with shuttle make 2
d. s., 1 p., 2 d. s., close. This makes a
small point. With spool and shuttle make ch. of 5 p. with 2 d. s. between to make the star point,
continue till the 7 points are finished.
The scroll, extending from the star points, is made as follows: R. of 7 p. with 2 d. s. between p., ch.
of 5 p. with 2 d. s. between p., rp. until you have 18 rings with 17 chains between.
The lower edge of bag is finished with a tartting fringe made with spool and shuttle: Make an 11
p. ring with 2 d. s. between each p., then a bar of 5 p. with 2 d. s. between each p., 5 p. ring, 5 p. bar,
this completes one bar. Continue to the required length.
The upper edge is finished with rings of 7 p. with 2 d. s. between p. and scallops of 6 d. s., 1 p., 6 d.
H., rp. At the base of hem is appliqu^d the beading. This beading is made in 2 rows with spool and
shuttle. Make a 7 p. ring, 6 d. s.,R.of S p., then 6 d. s., R.of 7 p., a scallop of 12 d. s. with 1 p. in the
middle of scallop. Continue as begun, alternating a point, then a scallop. The upper row alternates as
the lower but is formed a little differently. The thread is fastened to the 3d p. of the 5 p. ring and a 4 p.
scallop is made. Then make a S p. ring and join at the 3d p. to the p. of the scallop of the 1st row
made. Rp.
Two yards of cord are required for this bag. The ends of the cord are knotted and covered with 4
tatting rings which are sewed on, giving a pretty finish and keeping the knots in place.
This bag is lined with sateen and in the lining a small postage stamp pocket is made and fastened
with a small hook, which adds to its desirability.
The tatting is all appliqu^d on the bag before it is seamed. The lining is sewed up and fitted in
and then the hem is made.

wish, may be designed for luncheon sets, table scarfs, cushion cops, etc., selecting medallion, insertion
and edge of similar pattern.
