I hope you'll have fun with this technique! It's another idea to play with.
My report on wearing the bracelet for awhile:
- Using a tatted ring as a toggle loop didn't work. The toggle bar fell out. So, I added a proper metal toggle clasp, which does work well.
- The tatting tends to lengthen with wearing, so for a bracelet make it just a little bit shorter than needed. It will stretch to a comfortable size.
- The tatted links hold their shape surprisingly well, considering that they're only fiber!

So simple and pretty!
Thank you for sharing your new pattern, it looks very interesting and may be used in other patterns when linking two parts I am sure it could become used very often.

I made a fiber toggle clasp once, hardened the T part with fabric hardener, and it worked like a charm.
Thanks everyone!
Margaret, you're right, there could be many different uses and variations. It will be exciting to see what people come up with!
Karen, fabric hardener is a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the pattern I love it. I have been looking for something I could convert into a garland for my Christmas Tree and I do believe I just found it with your pattern. I will use different colored embroidery thread for each link. Again what a great pattern!!
Simply beautiful. Now I have to learn the SSSR. What a beautiful gift. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for an excellent tutorial and for sharing your creativity :-)
I have used Ninetta's Curled Ring , folded on itself, as a toggle for bracelets & it works beautifully without slipping out of the ring even when I tried pulling on it deliberately. It really came in handy coz I don't have clasps, etc.
Oh thanks, I'll check that out.
Thanks so much for sharing the pattern. I'll cetainly try it :)
