Tatting, by Bernadette Baldelli

Tatted lace or frivolité was used to adorn the sumptuous garments worn by the queens and courtesans in times gone by. Yet, the endless combinations of knots, loops and arabesques remain the same. The author, Bernadette Baldelli, revives this ancient technique and gets you tatting like the Royal Knotter, Queen Mary JJ. You will find in this book over twenty patterns.

Built around different themes, the step-by-step, illustrated and abbreviated instructions cater for all levels form the absolute beginner to the highly skilled tatter.
