Interlocking rings with any shuttle

 

Here are some screenshots from the video demo I made for TikTok. I'll do another in horizontal format for YouTube, eventually! Size 10 thread is easier to try this technique with.

To do the last ring so that it interlocks with the first ring, remove enough thread from the shuttle to tat the ring, and cut the thread.  Put the thread down through the previous ring, and wrap around your hand to form the working circle for tatting the ring. Then put the thread down through the first ring made, and down again through the previous ring. I find it easier to finger tat the first double stitch, then I tie the thread back onto the shuttle to finish tatting the ring. Close the ring.

Guess it's time for a refresher course - been a while since I made these 😃

Tatters do struggle with interlocking rings, so any advice is welcome!

Pictures help me remember how to do it. (◔◡◔) There's other ways of doing interlocking rings and it's always good to have options!
