The shuttle is the tool that you will use to make the stitches. Shuttles come in a variety of sizes and shapes, but the most common type is the plastic shuttle. The thread is the material that you will use to make the lace. Tatting thread comes in a variety of weights and colors. The needle is used to thread the shuttle and to make the stitches. The scissors are used to cut the thread.

Basic Stitches

There are two basic stitches in shuttle tatting: the double stitch and the picot stitch. The double stitch is the most basic stitch and is used to create the foundation of the lace. The picot stitch is a small loop that is used to add detail to the lace.

To make a double stitch, start by holding the shuttle in your right hand and the thread in your left hand. Wrap the thread around the shuttle twice, then pass the shuttle over the thread and under the loop on the shuttle. Pull the thread tight to create a knot. This is the first double stitch.

To make a picot stitch, start by making a double stitch. Then, hold the thread in your left hand and wrap the thread around the shuttle once. Pass the shuttle over the thread and under the loop on the shuttle. Pull the thread tight to create a picot stitch.

Patterns

Tatting patterns are written using a combination of symbols and abbreviations. The most common symbols are:

• o - double stitch
• j - picot stitch
• r - ring
• d - chain

Abbreviations are used to indicate the number of times a stitch or a series of stitches should be repeated. For example, 2o means to make two double stitches. 4j means to make four picot stitches. 3r means to make three rings.
