The editor of Tatting Times, Karey Solomon, offers several patterns which use ring or chain only to create rather unusual bookmarks, edgings, ornaments, butterflies, jewelry and items useful in a tatter's etui or organizer (sewing directions also included.) An exprienced teacher, Karey has cleverly disguised several teaching lessons as "easy to do" patterns. Her common sense explanations of the split ring and split chain will aid every beginning tatter.

Most eye-catching of all the patterns and ideas in this booklet (8" x 5.5") is the application of the tatted block in a square motif. This dense tatting creates a startling look that is most attractive.
