Learn How To Tat http://learnhowtotat.com Learn Tatting Step-By-Step with Janette Baker Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:08:24 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 Best Fall Patterns http://learnhowtotat.com/2011/07/26/best-fall-patterns/ http://learnhowtotat.com/2011/07/26/best-fall-patterns/#comments Tue, 26 Jul 2011 02:50:56 +0000 janette http://learnhowtotat.com/?p=275 Summer has flown by and now it is time to think fall, believe it or not. The very best fall patterns I

have found are, of course, by my all time favorite designer, Karen Lindsay. Karen’s fall leaf is simply gorgeous! The pattern looks a bit complicated, but is actually quite easy to tat. The leaf pattern is a beginning level pattern. As with many of Karen’s patterns the leaves are applied to a sampler and then hung on the wall. How perfect for fall decor.

My second favorite pattern is the tatted witch. I love this wimsical witch. Everytime I look at the witch, I smile. The witch is tatted with split-rings, so this pattern is an advanced level pattern. The witch is a good pattern to tat when practicing the split ring, because the lengths of split rings on the skirt wouldn’t have to exact for the finished tatting to be cute.

Look under the Pattern tab for photos of both the tatted Leaf Pattern and the tatted Witch Pattern.

I keep going back to Karen Lindsay’s Ribbon pattern, it is my favorite for many reasons. First and foremost it is so versitle. Changing the color combination completely changes the overall look of the finished tatting, but the pattern itself can be tatted in any combination of colors and be appropriate for any time of the year. Secondly, I love the pattern because it is easy enough for a beginning tatter to tat and yet holds the interest of an accomplised tatter. Most patterns do not fall into these two catagories so easily.

Nothing satisfies like to the feeling of snuggling up in front of a warm fire with shuttle in hand and tatting a beautiful piece of lace. I hope every tatter has at least one day of being snowed in to enjoy this wonderful feeling this winter.
