half closed tatted rings with treble tatting

These are half closed rings, pattern is fast said, they are rings with 7 treble tatting stitches.
It's a lovely narrow edging, it would be perfect for a hanky!


When it happened to me to tat a line of half closed rings, I soon discovered that adding a second half stitch at the end helps in blocking the ring in position, in this way the bare thread doesn't slide and the half ring doesn't close.
In the case of treble tatting stitches, making a second half of a double stitch helps the core thread to be moved to the right position, to start the next half ring. Also, the half ring doesn't close if you, accidentally, pull the thread.

Thanks to Georgia Seitz and Muskaan, who gave me a chance to brush up on my pattern for a cabochon (treble tatting in hearts ). In fact, it was shared in the Online Tatting Class on Febrary 18th.

I bought 4 rivoli and started trying the pattern with 2 of  them, but I forgot to protect the back, following a great hint by Yarnplayer (Marilee Rockley), that you may find here:
https://yarnplayertats.blogspot.com/2018/07/a-rivoli-is.html
I'll do it, with the other two.

The pattern worked well, even with these rivoli, that have a diameter of 18 millimetres.
I haven't decided yet, if I'll add the second round.

I updated the header bar here, to add the "TREBLE TATTING STITCH - SUMMARY" page.
I hope it will be useful, it is only one page which can be attached with any teaching pattern.
The pdf version is available, too:

  3. I always use a shs (or fhs in backside rings) but didn’t realise it performed this function as well!

    1. 💐👋 thank you, dear Muskaan!
      I usually don't add a half stitch in rings, only in half closed rings.

  9. Thats lovely with the tds half rings. I put beads on the bare thread space of the halff ring. My issue is getting the rings half closed to the same amount. The beads make the space consistent.
