Perfect tatting – part 8.
Hello everyone! This is the eigth lesson in the series Perfect Tatting. You can read previous part here: https://fairylace.kozinenko.com/perfect-tatting-part-7/
Also my articles will be accompanied by video tutorials. Simultaneously with the article I will add them to my YouTube channel.
Please write in the comments what subtleties you would like to know. Then it will be easier for me to make a lessons plan.
Also you can ask me questions in the comments, I’m ready to help!
So, today I want to take a closer look at the importance of number placement in tatting graphic designs. I already told you that the number is placed above the “cap”, this is logical and simplifies the drawing (read here: https://fairylace.kozinenko.com/perfect-tatting-part-6/ ).
I suggest going back to the pattern from part 6. Graphic diagrams are also added to today’s video.
To make the pattern easier to read, I write the abbreviation and instructions.

So, you see how important the placement of the numbers in the drawing is. Also, I think my detailed instructions will help you better understand how to read tatting patterns. After all, I add instructions to the drawings and photos. Actually, I do this for all my designs. I hope my long article didn’t bore you! Because the video is also quite long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3qcvpiizmw&list=UULF3dn4_9pp7tIKA2k564wLBQ
