Tatted Lace Corsage Bracelet

This is one of my classic designs, a perfect immortal flower corsage for mother's day, prom, weddings, whatever. Because of the connections between pieces I'd call this an intermediate design.

Step 1: What You'll Need

You will need:
-Size 10 cotton thread in two different colors, I used black and red
-Size 5 tatting needle or shuttle if you prefer
-Scissors
-small steel crochet hook for joins
-hook and eye

You will also need basic tatting knowledge that can be acquired with my other beginning instructables.

Hey! Thanks for posting your pattern. I've got the flower down pat but having trouble starting the ends (I.e. hook and eyes....I've followed the instructions and I've gotten a mess...obviously I'm not doing it right.

Given that I am a beginner (1 week tatting today), is there any chance you can post a couple more pictures to this part....I don't know anyone who tatts here in Brisbane to ask or demonstrate for me.

Thank you so much for any assistance you may offer me.

I'm afraid I don't have any more photos that could help. This is definitely not a beginner project and adding hooks and eyes can be a bit fiddly even when you are experienced. So, I would suggest working the end piece without the hook and eye, working a chain of 9ds instead until you feel comfortable enough with the pattern to add the hooks.

Hi totusmel,
You are the one who made me (who thinks she can never do laces) a tatting lover though I think I've got a little talent for it. For a few days I'm trying to replicate tattings you posted on youtube. And I figured out that I can better understand from a video tutorial. If you have this bracelet's video tutorial I'll be very glad. :).....

Thanks for "being a teacher" from thousands of miles a way from my home :)

Greetings from Turkey....

First thank you for sharing your designs with us :D As I was reading through I noticed this and wanted to ask in case someone doesn't catch it in time while attempting this:
In the first ring, 2 double stitches(ds) 1 picot(p) 2ds 1p 2ds 1ds <--- should be a 1p correct?

[TotusMel]

You are correct, I will fix it at once, thanks.

Dear tatter, i am trying to download this but wont let me it keeps asking me to sign in..

[TotusMel]

You can only download the pdf if you're a pro member I believe. Otherwise you just have to go step by step on the site.
