The Lark's Head Picot Join looks just like a double stitch (on the front side). There are several tutorials for how to do it online, but the ones I found all showed how to do it from the front side of the tatting. I simply reversed those instructions to tat it from the back side.
Note: double stitches are in reverse order when tatting back side (2nd half first, 1st half second).
Looks beautiful as your work always does!! :) Love the colors in this one! :)
ReplyDeleteI've yet to master the LHPJ, though I've tried it a few times. Very useful and thanks for sharing this :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome
ReplyDeleteI believe this is the first time I've seen instructions for twisting the thread on purpose before inserting the shuttle! Your photos and instructions are perfect, as usual! The result is a beautiful effect! Thanks for this amazing 'trick'. Those of you who specialize in 'research and development' deserve recognition for your quest for perfection!
