Step 6: Creating A Chain

1. Place the needle at the last knot made on your ring. A chain is generally only created after a ring.

2. Create any number of ds and picots. For our flower pendant, chain 6ds, 1 picot(p) 6 ds.

3. Slide the ds off the needle onto the thread in the eye of the needle. Pull the thread all the way through so that the chain lies right next to the ring.

4. As with the ring, turn the chain over and tie a knot (rw). Occasionally a ring or chain isn't reversed after closing, but a knot is still tied. The right and left thread do not change place when the knot is tied this way.

Brand new to tatting. Once I figured out I was to be tatting on the ball finishing chains went much better! Thanks for posting this and your video! So much help!
