Tutorial chiacchierino ad uncinetto 1 parte
Begin the Ring (R) on the shaft of the hook:
A tatting stitch is atwo-part double hitch stitch (ds).
First half of the double hitch stitch (ds): wrap the thread over finger from the front as shown, pick thread up and off the finger onto shaft; slide loop thus made down shaft to the first (ignored) loop. (Some people like to use the "ignored" loop as the first part of the first double hitch stitch (ds), but it seems to confuse others. So I just ignore it!!)

Make the first half of a double hitch stitch (ds) about 3/8" up the shaft of the hook. Note that the size of the picot will be half of the length of the space when it is drawn up.

That's it! Repeat everything again, until you reach the length you desire.
You could cro-tat this edging directly onto the item to be trimmed by catching the fabric with the hook when making the 3rd or center chain of the ch-5 bridge.smack Beffy
