Onion rings tutorial Using one shuttle, begin by tatting a normal ring with a picot at top center. Close ring and do not reverse work. |  | ||
Using the same shuttle begin a second ring and tat up to the midpoint. |  | ||
Next bring the ring thread up through the picot on the first ring. |  | ||
Bring the shuttle/core thread through the loop. |  | ||
Pull gently on the ring thread to remove the excess thread. Make sure that the last double stitch formed touches the picot; adjust tension or compression as needed. |  | ||
Finish tatting the ring and close allowing the new ring to surround the first ring. |  | ||
The onion ring join makes it possible to create the look of a ring surrounded by a chain but using only one shuttle. If a second shuttle is introduced then regular chain work can be accomplished and additional rings thrown off the chain using the second shuttle. |
