Herringbone Hookup-
Learn the Herringbone Hookup,
or How I did Dutch Needletatting the Lazy Way
After enduring the frustration of fiddling with wily inverted picots, a great light bulb went off over my head. “Hairpin Crochet!” was my epiphany. We will learn to
create a similar effect to the Dutch Needle Tatting originated by To De Haan-Van
Beek using a technique originally used for joining strips of Hairpin Crochet Lace.
Students will learn to make simple flowers and leaves without a pattern.

Love Bug
Earrings/Necklace-I’ve Been Bitten
by the Love Bug
Earrings and Pendant
Set
This set is an introduction into working with beads and two
shuttles. Techniques include a split ring, picots with multiple beads, joins
between beads on a picot, and loading beads onto a long picot with a crochet
hook. The beads are all on Shuttle 2 (notated as “upbeads” in Ninaese) or
loaded onto a picot while the work is in progress.
Beginner/Intermediate: Knowledgeable and proficient with rings, split rings, chains, and joins. |
Materials: Size 40 or 50 thread in the colorway of your choice, 150 #11 seed
beads in a coordinating color, 3 4mm bicone crystals or drop beads of
comparable size, 1 jump ring, earring findings, chain necklace. The tatter will
need the standard tatting kit including a fine crochet hook or floss threader for
loading beads, a paperclip for holding beads on a picot, a big-eye beading needle (or bead needle of one’s choice) and a fine tapestry needle for hiding
ends. Each piece requires 6 yards thread wound CTM on two shuttles, 2 yards
on Shuttle 1 and 4 yards on Shuttle 2. For each piece, string 39 beads on
Shuttle 2 thread. The long beaded picot will require an additional 8 beads and
the bicone crystal or drop bead. |
