Closed Tatting Motif, or how to make the last join.
Hello everyone! This is the fifteenth lesson in the series “Perfect Tatting”. You can read the previous part here: https://fairylace.kozinenko.com/beginning-of-work-in-graphical-diagram/
My articles are also accompanied by video tutorials. Along with the article, I add them to my YouTube channel.
Please write in the comments what subtleties you would like to learn. Then it will be easier for me to make a lessons plan.
Today I wrote a very short article. Because there is no point in describing what is better to watch! Do you agree?

In the video I showed 4 ways to connect the last and first rings in the motif. So let me say a few words about each method.
Method 1 is good because when connecting you can use up join or down join (as you like).
The second method is called folded join (if I’m wrong, please write to me in the comments).
Method 3 I saw in Marilee Rockley’s video. She uses this method of joining because it is convenient for her. By the way, you can come up with and use your own method. And this proves once again that tatting is not a dogma, but an art!
Ah, I would like to name the fourth method after myself (LOL). Because I came up with it myself. And I watched a lot of videos on the Internet, but I did not find such a way of connecting. Maybe I did not search well? But I like this method. For me it is the most understandable and easy. And also when doing it you can use up join or down join.
