Learn Needle Tatting With My Flower Pendant

Step 8Finishing The Flower

Finishing The Flower
1. Make the final chain in the same way, but after you close join to the first ring you made by bringing the needle through the knot in the ring.

2. To Finish tie a double knot and cut the thread from the ball leaving enough tail to hide. Hide each end by putting the needle through a few stitches in either the closest ring or chain and pulling the thread through. Cut off the remainder.

3. To make the flower a pendant, simply add a jump ring to one of the outer picots.

You can make this simple design in any color or size you like, you can also join flowers together at the outer picots to form chains or add seed beads to the picots for a little bling.
