Pearl tatting, adding thread with Lark’s Head knot, rings thrown off each side

Pearl tatting is demonstrated in this video with a core thread and 2 auxiliary threads on shuttles. I’m starting with a tatted ring, then adding the core thread for the pearl tatting with a Lark’s head knot to the base of the ring. I hide the tail by working a few stitches over it, then abandon the tail and continue tail can be trimmed off later. This is just an option for a neat, tidy way to deal with the thread ends. Pearl tatting is done with unflipped stitches, encapsulating the core thread. Alternating sides after each double knot is shown in this video, but other variations are possible. I show tatting a ring on each side of the pearl tatting, and how to keep both right and left sides looking “front side up“. At the end of the video 2 photos are shown of my original bracelet design that used pearl tatting in the center, embellished with beads and other tatting techniques.
