Tatting - A One-Shuttle Medallion
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 08. 2018
- I often get requests for patterns "from start-to-finish". So here is a new one.
At 6:26, I show a trick for hiding one of the ends into a ring.
(Oh, and don't forget to adjust the settings to see the video in HD!)
I thought it would be a nice little challenge to write up the pattern for this medallion which features on the fabric of a bag I received as a gift.
You can find the written pattern on my blog
leblogdefrivole.blogspot.com/2...
Click on the medallion image on the blog page and it will take you to the pattern.
Or here is direct link it also: drive.google.com/file/d/1sFOx...
Please print it and follow along!
Thank you so much for posting this step by step! I am finally advancing from rings and chains to multiple rows, so this will be a good little project to start developing a new skill.
I find out of all lace making techniques I considered learning first, this is the most approachable and portable. Sometimes I can't carry around a knitting project but I do not want to have idle hands.
Thank you for your comment, I'm glad to hear you are making progress and that you find my videos useful. I totally agree with you and it's one thing (of many) that I love about tatting: its portability. It takes no space at all and you can always have a little project on the go to carry around with you. :-)
Just found out about tatting today and I was on the edge of my seat for this whole video. When she joined it to the rest of them :O
I'm glad you enjoyed it! :-) And I hope you might try tatting!
Finally I understand mock picots, split rings and nifty way to hide your end threads.
Thank you so much for posting this instructional pattern. You get a subscriber and a cyber hug!
That's great! Thank you very much for your comment Sherree. :-)
You are very gifted and also a wonderful teacher. Thank you so much for inspiring me to get back to tatting and keep myself busy especially during the lockdown period. Tatting is indeed a stress reliever. Keep posting videos.
You are so welcome! Thank you for your nice comment, I'm glad to hear you are getting back into tatting. :-)
Very pretty pattern. I like how it makes little crosses between the medallions. Thank you for the video! I Love your voice. Calm and lovely.
Hi Cindy, thank you so much for your kind comment. Glad you like the video and yes, I agree with you it's always nice to see what shapes form when you join medallions together.
So many interesting techniques in here. I can't wait to try this pattern. Thank you so much for posting.
My pleasure, thank you for your comment Katie!
I have been "KonMari-ing" my hobbies but have decided tatting 'sparks joy' for me so I'm keeping it .... plus it is a hobby that does not take up a mountain of space. Your new video has made me confirm I made the right decision. I'm going to save your video for a 'must do' later! You are so relaxing to watch and make me believe I can do this with your excellent instruction. THANK YOU!
Thank you very much for your comment. I'm glad you are enjoying tatting and if I inspired you a little, then that's great. You are right that it doesn't take a lot of space and is also very easy to carry around - one of the many reasons I like it very much. I do enjoy variety though: so although tatting is a passion, I also have many other interests! Oh, and I need to look up KonMari-ing! :-)
Thank you for sharing your video! I appreciate the tatting tips. It's so much easier to understand with a video.
My pleasure! Thanks Diane! :-)
Thank you so much for your detailed instructions, you make everything look so easy. And your work is Beautiful! Sheila
Thank you for your lovely comment Sheila. :-)
Amazing.
There isn't another word to describe you or your skills. I love your tutorial. They are fantastic. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us newbies, especially the magic loop & mock picot.
Ive been looking for a hobby that keeps my hands busy. Tatting is perfect I really love the rhythm with the shuttle. Ive tried needle tatting to see if it suits me but I prefer the shuttle.
I just thank the gods I found you. I couldnt ask for a better teacher.
Thank you so much Luisa! What a really lovely, heart-warming comment. You've made my day and I'm glad you are enjoying tatting. :-)
I love your videos. Another knowledgable tatter who can explain well enough to follow. I am a blind tatter so the more clear explanation the better. Must order more real tatting thread the crochet thread just isn't doing it.
Thank you for your comment and I'm very glad to hear you are able to follow my videos with sound only, it's nice to know they're useful.
This is so beautiful, and your lovely needlework tools make it a joy to tat, I'm sure 😊🥰❤
Thank you! :-)
Thank you for showing the trick how to enclose the lose tread, just perfect 👍🤗
Please do more tatting videos for us.
You are very good teacher
Thank you Marcia, I will! :-)
i just started a week ago and your videos are the most helpful I have found. thanks for your content!!
Thank you very much for your comment Laura - always nice to get positive feedback. :-)
The work is lovely: thank you for showing me a new way to keep my hands moving.
You are so welcome!
It's just beautiful,thank you so much for your time,you are a awesom teacher😊
Thank you for your comment Cathy! :-)
Lovely, as ever. Such inspiration. Blessings.
Thank you Julie! :-)
Put the loose thread in the shuttle! Brilliant! Wonderful video and love the birds too!
Why don't you want the magic loop in the last half of the last stitch?
Hi Michelle, it just makes it a lot easier to pull the magic loop as the last half stitch does tighten up a lot when you close the ring. :-)
I really appreciate the video I tried reading the pattern but I just started learning how to shuttle tat, It was confused. I super love how these look and they look amazing connected.
Hi Zoe, so have you been able to work it out following the video?
Excited to make a pair of earrings with this pattern! 😍 too cute!
Oh yes, good idea, they would look really cute! :-)
This is the trickiest motif I've attempted so far and it is, so far, going pretty well, all thanks to your guidance! Leaving bare thread is rather stressful in my opinion and part of me would rather deal with endless RW and chains to connect the rings, but I have to admit I love how delicate it looks! Practice makes perfect, so I'm sure I'll be more used to this once I've actually finished this medallion (and perhaps try making another?). Thank you for posting a video of making the pattern from start to finish, it is quite helpful!
Hello, I'm glad you are enjoying this project. I'm sorry you find them stressful but yes, I agree with you that bare threads give a very delicate look to designs that use them. I love making one-shuttle designs and personally find them relaxing to work. Good luck!
@@11Frivole It's been over a week, so I thought I'd give some update: now that I'm more used to it, I can say it's not stressful anymore! One reason I was not too comfortable is that the length of bare thread I left would always be somewhat inconsistent (a little too short at times, a little too long some other times), so it felt like the whole motif would be ruined -- but that's actually wrong. It's actually pretty forgiving. Of course, it looks much better with the proper, regular spacing, but small mistakes or inconsistencies aren't too noticeable from afar and, with practice, I'm getting a much better feeling for leaving an even length of bare thread.
By the way, did you know where this motif is originally from? I saw it when reading an old book on Project Gutenberg: it's in Beeton's book of needlework, which has some patterns and techniques on tatting, as well as embroidery and some other types of needlework. I like your pattern much better, though: in the book, they use 3 separate rows, instead of climbing up with mock picots and split rings. Since your version is more efficient and there's less fuss about finishing off all those thread ends, it's easier to get into a nice tatting rythm and just enjoy the process.
Spending this lovely Saturday rainy afternoon working on this project. I love all your videos! I promptly made two medallions into earrings
Thank you Monisola, nice idea for earrings, did you stiffen them?
@@11Frivole i have made some earrings too. How do we stiffen them?
@@nimibiswakarma7540 Hello Nimi, I don't always stiffen earrings, but when I do, I use diluted PVA glue (white glue diluted with water so it's not too thick). It works really well. I paint it on with a brush and let it dry flat.
@@11Frivole Thank you so much for your reply. Surely will try. The kind of threads we get here only make limp tatting patterns which aren't suitable for larger earrings. (Btw, This is the first time any CZcamsr replied to my question.♥️And I love your tutorials)
@@nimibiswakarma7540 Hi Nimi, I'm certainly glad (and sad) to be the first CZcamsr to answer a question of yours! I do try my best to answer all comments (I occasionally miss some and I'm not always able to reply straight away but I do try to answer all). Yes, it's nice to have a thread with a nice tight twist for firmer tatting but even with a softer thread, you may find your problem is solved by stiffening.
(p.s. if you want to make sure I see your comments, please reply or write directly to me because that way I see your messages in my "unanswered comments" section. The reply here was to Monisola).
Magnifique! Merci beaucoup !
Гениально и красиво!!! Браво!!! Очень люблю Ваши видео и челноки!!!
Спасибо! :-)
I am just now finding videos on tatting, and I love your shuttle.
Thank you Elizabeth. I regularly have shuttles like that for sale in my Etsy shop (www.etsy.com/shop/lacossette) if you're interested. I am away at the moment so there are none for sale but I'm back in a few days. :-)
oh wow! This is so pretty and neatly done. Thank you so much for the clear explanation and video demonstrating step by step how to do this! You are a very good teacher. Liked & subscribed ^_^
Thank you very much! Glad you like it and welcome to my channel! :-)
Decided to pick tatting back up after decades of a hiatus. I originally learned from books, and my goodness how much more fun it is with videos like yours! I had to watch most of the beginner videos too-no, tatting is not quite like riding a bike. My hands did retain a lot of muscle memory though-I know I must’ve spent hours and hours figuring out how to transfer the knot the first time years ago lol.
Anyway, I subscribed to your channel but have to say I really really love tatting a full project alongside you! I don’t think I was ever as quick and smooth as you are, likely not even a quarter as good. It’s lovely to watch and inspiring. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us all and share your techniques! Truly invaluable!!
Hello Asiyah and thank you so much for your lovely comment! I'm glad to hear you got back into tatting and happy if I had a small part to play in you doing so. Yes, you are right, we are so lucky now to have so much information available on internet. I also originally learned from books and it's so much easier when you can "see it in action". I'm overdue a new video and thinking at the moment what I should do next but perhaps another small start-to-finish project would be a good idea. :-)
@@11Frivole Would love that, but I’m amazed at how many you have up already too! And thank you so much for all the care and attention you give all your students here in your channel! You are truly wonderful!!
@@pdxfox2604 You're very welcome and thank you so much for your kind comment Asiyah, you've brought a smile to my face this morning! :-)
Also, I’m amazed you originally learned from books! You’re such an expert-I thought you must’ve learned from generations of experienced tatters! That’s inspiring for all of us starting out on our own too :)
Oh I love it!! It’s got me wanting to get out my shuttles again!!!
Glad you like it! :-)
Loved this, thank you for making this video.
My pleasure, glad you like it! :-)
I love seeing your work in progress. It gives me so many ideas and I love that you were able to figure out your own pattern from a gift. Perhaps make mini ones as set of earings for the giver of fabric??? It is a lovely pattern and thank you for showing us how.
Nice idea and thank you for your nice comment Tara! :-)
My go-to pattern! Anytime, anywhere i can make this so easily. Soooo lovely shape♥️ thx!
So nice to hear! Very glad you like it and that's it being tatted often. :-)
Muy buena explicación muchas gracias por compartir saludos de Argentina
Gracias! :-)
That's gorgeous! I've never shuttle tatted before. I have Needle tatted though. It looks daunting but I'd like to build up to this someday.
Hello Mim, thank you for your comment. I hope you give it a try... it's a little trickier than needle to start with but I'm sure you'd get the hang of it! :-)
@@11Frivole thanks! ☺️
Beautiful pattern ❤️
Thank you! 😊
Lovely! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for reminding me how much I love tatting!
Aw, that's nice! Thank you for your comment. :-)
Thank you it’s very elegant work
Thank you! 😊
THANK YOU!!! SO PRETTY!!!
You are so welcome!
Beautiful craft👌👌👌👌👌👌💐💐💐💐💐
Thank you for showing how to do this - I will have to watch it a few times to get the jist of it all - Some of the technique is new to me - but I am sure with a few tries, I will get it.
Thank you Esther, I'm sure you will! :-)
Ellerinize sağlık çok güzel olmuş
Thank you. :-)
Wow, just beautiful! Thank you for sharing your talent!
You're welcome - thank you for your nice comment! :-)
Super cute super good work
bu örnekten şal yaptım hergün izliyorum çok güzel yapıyorsunuz şimdi bir tane daha şal yapmayı düşünüyorum ellerinize sağlık 🤗
Hello, did you really make a whole shawl with this small motif? I'd love to see it! :-)
Seu trabalho é belíssimo...faço frivollite também! Parabéns 🤲🤲🤲👏👏👏👏
Muito obrigada Eliana! Fico feliz em saber que você também é rendeira! :-)
She makes it look so easy! I'm lost! LOL!
It's just a matter of practice! Everything can look easy when you know how. ;-) Thanks for visiting!
Thank you! Very nice!
My pleasure! :-)
Your shuttles are so pretty! May I ask where you get them? Your work is amazing, I'm still learning but I've improved by leaps and bounds since finding your channel!
Thank you very much for your comment Miriam. I make (and sell) the shuttles I use in my videos and they are normally available through my Etsy shop (www.etsy.com/shop/lacossette). However I currently have another full-time project on at the moment so have had to temporarily stop making shuttles though I hope to be able to list a couple here and there when I find time.
Hi can you please tell me where I can get the shuttle in India. Please reply to me at meena.pavi04@gmail.com. I love your tatting n method of teaching
❤that’s beautiful
Thank you!
Awesome tutorial, thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌😱😱😱💓💓💓
My pleasure 😊
Very beautiful
Thank you! :-)
great video, and very relaxing, just one question: when you turn your work over and start the first tiny ring, shouldn´t you start with the second half of the double stitch? as it is turned over, all the ds will look good in one side.
Hi, yes, you certainly can if you prefer to tat FS/BS. I sometimes do but also often tat the regular/traditional way, always starting with the first half. In this case especially, the tiny rings are so small that it's hardly noticeable. :-)
@@11Frivole you are right! I did myself and one can barely notice. I love the medallions together! Especially the accidental crosses that are formed in between them! Great video! Thanks a million. Subscribed
Very nice
Gorgious😍😍
Thank you! :-)
I am new to tatting and love the video, I am not able to use the shuttle only a needle. Do you have any videos that would show tatting using a needle?
Hi Susan, I'm afraid although I know how to use a needle, I'm not a needle tatting expert - I'm much more comfortable with a shuttle. But if you do a quick search, you'll find lots of tutorials on needle tatting by other people. Good luck! :-)
I really want to learn shuttle tatting. I tried, but I could never make it make a ring. Do you have a video where you do it slow and teach how to shuttle tatt?
Hi Cathy, yes I do! I made a video that concentrates specifically on getting started and transferring the knot, I hope you find it helpful. Here is the link: czcams.com/video/OWdbxK-NuNY/video.html
Beautiful video thank you so much may I ask where you got your shuttle it's beautiful! Is it a certain size?
Hi Hollyann, the shuttles I use are Aeros which I modify and decorate myself. I had been selling them in my Etsy shop for many years (www.etsy.com/shop/lacossette) but am currently taking a break due to other commitments. Thank you for your comment! :-)
@@11Frivole what do you use to modify the base of the needle? that is my biggest issue with my shuttle
Hi Heather, I use a craft knife to reshape that area as I don't like how the thread tends to catch on the neck of the shuttle in its original shape.
Thank u so mach 👍 n beautiful 👌 lovely wrk
Most welcome 😊
Love the way you teach!!! Wondering ? What are you using for the magic thread trick ? What is the thingy? It looks like a wire?
Hi Lori, no doubt it's way too late to answer your comment... I seem to have missed it when you wrote it! I use a type of beading wire called "Fireline": it works great because it's fine but incredibly strong and can be folded out of the way.
Love your work!! What size thread are you using?
Thank you! The thread I'm using in this video is size 20 (I'm pretty sure it's DMC Babylo).
Where did you get your shuttle... I love it. You are so good and fast at that. 🥰
Hello and thank you for your comment. I make the shuttles I use in my videos... they can sometimes be found for sale in my Etsy shop (www.etsy.com/shop/lacossette). :-)
Ok thank you... im looking for one with a humming bird and a flower.... let me know if you ever do that
Could you please make a needle tat instruction for this lovely design? I don't know enough shuttle tatting to follow through, sadly.
Sorry Dani, although I know the basics of needle tatting, I'm afraid I'm the opposite of you and I'm not a good enough needle tatter to show this design with a needle! :-)
Hello I am a beginner but I notice that when I finish my ring I cant pull the working thread with the shuttle to tighten it. I can only pull the other thread. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Christine, I think it must mean that your knots are not transferred (or flipped) correctly. To start off, check after each half knot you make to ensure that the core thread still slides within the stitches. I have a beginners' video that really concentrate on transferring the knot, maybe that would help?
Here is the link: czcams.com/video/OWdbxK-NuNY/video.html
Lindooooo demais parabéns
Thank you! :-)

What shuttles do you use they're so pretty
Thank you very much Jacquelyn. They are normally available for sale in my shop: www.etsy.com/shop/lacossette but I'm currently on other projects and unfortunately have not been able to make shuttles for a while.
I love your shuttle! Where did you get it?
Hello, glad you like it! I make the shuttles I use in my videos and I sometimes have some for sale in my Etsy shop (www.etsy.com/shop/lacossette). :-)
I'm not sure if this comment makes sense but-- does the picot stitch count as one of the next regular stitches in between? For instance if I'm making the first ring, is it 2 double stitches, the picot stitch, and then 2 more regular double stitches? Or is it 2 double stitches, the picot, and then one, since on the thread the finished picot stitch counts as one?
Hello Erica, the picot makes the first half of the next stitch because the picot is just basically a gap left on the thread between two stitches. Does that make sense?
Brava vorrei in Italiano Grazie ciao 😇😇😇👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💋💋💋
Thank you! :-)
it would be nicer if you moved the shuttle a bit slower so I can see how it goes thank you
Hi, if you would prefer slower movements, I do have other demonstration videos which you may enjoy (shuttle-tatting for beginners for example). This video assumes you know the basics of tatting so it's more to show how to work the overall design rather than how to make the individual stitches. But I'm always happy to receive suggestions for videos from my viewers! :-)
Hi I'm trying to figure out needle tatting.Could tell me how I can tell which is the rw side.Im not getting this ?Confused
In traditional tatting, you reverse working when going from a ring to a chain and vice-versa. The side where the double stitch has a little bar across the top would be the front side (sorry can't add a drawing here to illustrate what I'm saying!). In this pattern, there is only one "reverse work" after the first central ring and that is so you can have the shuttle on the right side (accessible for your right hand) after making the mock picot. The rest of the pattern is all worked from the same side. Probably too long of an explanation and no doubt made it even more confusing for you!
Hello, I am a complete beginner. Does it matter how the shuttle is put thro, under or above the string?
Hello Maggi, yes it does matter as the complete stitch is made up of two half stitches and the shuttle has to follow a specific path to make the stitch. I have a beginner video that explains how to make a tatting stitch if you're interested, you can find it here: czcams.com/video/OWdbxK-NuNY/video.html
I really like your shuttle. What brand is it? Thanks
Hello, it's an Aero-type shuttle, modified and decorated by me. I regularly have some for sale in my Etsy shop should you be interested.

Would please explain the magic loop?
Oh, never mind
Hello, yes, the magic loop is a little loop of thread that you insert in your stitches and which help you pull your thread ends to hide them when you complete your work. I have a video that show how to use them (it's not the best, it's a bit old and I plan on re-making it). Here's the link: czcams.com/video/cyw4_5Uigfg/video.html
Where I can get that shuttle ?
Hello Paola, I modify and decorate the shuttles I use in my videos. I have been selling them for years in my Etsy shop but have been on a break during the last two years due to other commitments. I hope to occasionally have some for sale again during the summer.

Hello Jacqueline, I'm sorry you're having trouble with tatting. Unfortunately from your description, I'm not able to tell what is going wrong. It's very difficult to advise someone without seeing them tat.
I'm sorry, I did look in your shop, but I didn't see any shuttles. I'm thinking about to get one.Another question: How do you make these shuttles?
Hi Juliette, I'm sorry I currently have another full-time project and am not able to make shuttles for a little while. I make the shuttles by modifying a basic bobbin shuttle and then decorating it (it's so much nicer working with pretty tools!). :-)
Thank you for answering my question! I'm going to try modifying some shuttles I ordered today. :)
Hi, another question. How you get rid of this end part for the bobbin of the shuttle? Just cut it off?
Yes, I cut it off. :-)@@JulietteSearchRomeo
Thank you very much! I did it and now I have 3 beautyful shuttles without this annoying end! I love them so much
👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! :-)
Do you reverse the work after each row?
No, you don't need to reverse work in this pattern, all the rows are worked with front facing using split rings to move from one round to the next.

@@kbec11 thanks for that info. I have nearly finished my second medallion tonight while watching the Australian Open tennis.

You need to go alittle slower for newbies. Love the pattern
Hello Jeannie, yes you are right that it may be a little fast for beginners but I'm tatting at my normal speed to demonstrate the pattern, slowing down where I'm explaining particular techniques. I do have several beginners videos on my channel where I work slower. :-)
Slow please
Hello, I try to show all the important parts slowly but I do make the stitches quickly as I assume a basic knowledge of tatting for these videos. I do have beginner videos where I tat each stitch very slowly. :-)
Slow down.
