Hi All. In this video I'm going to show you how to combine ring and chain
or ring and ring
You need shuttles and thread for that.
I've made one ring of 10 DS already.
Remember, that red thread was completely ignored till now.
After the ring is finished you can see red thread is pointing down and green to the right.
To tat a chain I need to REVERSE WORK (RW).
To do that I need to flip the ring in 180 degrees vertically
so the red thread is now pointing up but the green one is still pointing to the right
and there is 90 degree between red and green thread.
Now I'm ready to tat a chain.
After the ring, the thread on green shuttle is always too long and it needs to be wind back on shuttle a little bit.
Check the position of threads
and I do few DS.
First half of DS should be the closest to the ring as possible.
Make sure the DS is flipped correctly.
Unwind the red thread from shuttle as you need.
7th DS
Bare in mind the chain is always a curve and not a straight line.
Now I want to make another ring so I need to flip whole project back.
After finishing the chain the red thread is up and green one is on the right.
Change the position of the threads
to place the red one bellow but the green one stays on the right.
Make another ring the closest to the chain as you can.
If you don't have enough thread on the shuttle just release what's left and tat with your hand.
I've made 5 DS so far..
Maybe I'm able to do 9th DS :)
Make sure all DS are flipped
Close the ring
and I've made a SMILEY FACE :)
Either you continue with tatting or you finish off and hide the ends inside a chain or a ring.
Working with homemade shuttles.
Starting position.
Change the position
Squeeze DS close to each other don't let them spread wide apart.
This is how to combine ring and chain.
Now combination ring and ring.
I have a ring already.
The position of the threads doesn't change whatsoever.
To make an another ring I still ignore the red thread as I don't need it
and I continue with the thread on the right.
Unwind more thread from shuttle.
Rings should be as close together as possible.
unless pattern calls for a bare thread between two rings
and in this instance second ring starts little bit further from first ring.
First DS is set and I continue to tat 9 DS
Close the ring
and I finished two rings side by side.
It is all from me for now. Like - Comment and Have a nice day :) Paaa Paaa
