Intermediate
Basic Skills Necessary:
- Tatting rings, chains, joins, lock joins, using 2 shuttles
Pattern Description:
My inspiration for this tatted candle was the quotation, "It's better to light one candle than to curse the darkness." (An ancient Chinese proverb and motto of The Christophers, Inc.)
There is a lot of possibility for color play in this tatted candle design, since it is made of 3 distinct sections. The candle uses block tatting for the solid candle area with tatted rings overlapping it to simulate "wax drips".
Complete instructions and many step by step photos are in the pattern. If you have tatted basic rings and chains before, making this design would be a good way to expand your tatting skills.
Sizing / Finished Measurements:
- In size 20 thread, about 2 and 1/2 inches (6cm) tall, and about 1 and 3/4 inches (4.5cm) wide
- Size will vary according to the thickness of the thread used
Materials:
- 2 tatting shuttles
- Crochet cotton or tatting thread of your choice, about 9 yards total
- Small steel crochet hook for joins
You Will Also Need:
- Needle to sew in ends
