Tatting a Rosie Ring Emmy Liebert’s “Schiffchenarbeit” from 1918 has been reprinted many times. Below you can see the original pattern written in old German Fraktur script. Emmy made wonderful things embellished with tatting. It is basically all one shuttle work, all rings and a little bit of plain sewing. In most cases the rings are not even joined. Instead they are arranged in pleasing patterns and sewn into place. A simple idea which we can use to make wall hangings sachets, pin cushions, hat decorations and brooches.
Here is the simplest design, although in this case there are four true joins, the upper rings are tatted close together and then just sewn into place. The large rings could be leaf-color and the smaller upper rings petal colored, sewn to fabric and a pin added for a brooch.
Here the rings are tatted but not joined in a grape color, sewn into an attractive bunch shape. A few leaf-colored rings added and it makes a lovely applique, brooch, Hanky Panky style quilt wall hanging embellishment, or reticule adornment.
The directions for creating a flower shape are simple and easy to tat. Begin by tatting strings of rings in floral and leaf colors. It does not have to be one long string. You can actually “tat” off leftover thread on shuttles and save them until you have enough for a design. Begin each string with a ring of 10 - 20 DS, leaving 1/4 - 1/2" space of bare thread between the rings. After 8 - 10 rings decrease the DS count by 2-3 ds. Everything is random, no set amount, just start large and end small. Just as flower blossoms have smaller petals in the cent er and larger petals on the outside. The more ring strings you have the larger your project. Also do a few strings of rings to use as leaves.
