Tatted Ring Bracelet


TATTING is a form of lacemaking, which is essentially a series of lark's head knots tied in a row or (sennet). A tattigg shuttle is not required for this project because each length of cord is fairly short to cover each ring. A magnetic clasp provides a nice "hidden" closure for this funky 6 os style bracelet.

MATERIALS & SUPPLIES

Metallic yarn. any type. 2 yards per ring

1. The yarn-covered rings on this bracelet consist of a series of lark's head knots, or sonnets. You'll need about 2 yards of yarn per ring. Attach yarn to a ring with a lark's head knot, leaving an 8-inch tail.

2. Starting with the long end (the working yarn), make a lark's head sennet knot.
3. Continue around the ring with the under, over sonnet pattern until the ring is covered. This photo shows the progression of the knots; notice the yarn is OVER the ring.
4. Make five rings (or the number that fits your wrist). When rings are covered, leave at least a 6-inch tail of yarn on each ring. Connect the covered rings by threading the tails from one ring through the knots of another with a small crochet hook.
5. Tie the ends of the cord with a square knot to secure. Clip off the ends and seal with fabric glue.
6. Using a needle and quilting or button thread, stitch a magnetic clasp to each end of the bracelet.
