One can never go wrong with a little extra jewelry. Especially when you can make every detail to your liking.
Below are the instructions to help you make your own pair of tatted earrings, and a bracelet.
Tatting Shuttle (Art. No: 8101)
Amour Steel Crochet Hook No. 12 (Art. No: 1226)
Size 20 Crochet Cotton (We used LizBeth Thread)
5 round beads (8mm), 1 round bead (6mm)
Earring Findings
String the 5 (8mm) beads onto the thread before winding the shuttle.
Wind the shuttle, placing the beads a few turns back to keep beads
out of the way until needed.
R1: 10 ds, p, 5 ds, bp, 5 ds, p, 10 ds, cl r
R2: 10 ds, j, 5 ds, bp, 5 ds, p, 10 ds, cl r
Repeat R2 until you have five rings.
Join the 6mm round bead by inserting the crochet hook through it,
catching the ball thread and pulling it through the bead. Keep pulling
the thread through to get a large enough loop to put the shuttle through.
Complete this join by pulling back on the ball thread until the join is
hidden inside the bead.
Keep a firm hold on the bead, make a lock stitch centered at the top.
Make 3 small rings without beads- 15ds close. Attach earring findings.
