Format:Paperback
This is a good tatting book, unless you are looking for a great deal of variety. The book explains fairly understandably how to tat, then gives some patterns for snowflakes. This is a book you will want near the winter holidays. The snowflakes make wonderful Christmas ornaments.
Format:Paperback
As a beginner I found this interesting, not difficult to follow, good for Xmas gists, and well worth the price.

These tatted snowflakes were are a delight to find.
30 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
The individual photographs are close enough to count the stitches without using the written patterns. The designs range from beginning to advanced skills. Instructions about the process of tatting are clear and easy to follow. It can be difficult to learn to tat from a book, but not impossible. There are two 2-dimensional snowflakes and a few with beads and ribbons, perfect for holiday decorations.

Pretty tatted snowflakes
1 July 2005
Format:Paperback
Here we have a collection of snowflakes which uses a fairly varied range of techniques including tatted beadwork. The book includes basic instructions for tatting and the patterns are written in longhand with no diagrams.
You will find most of the patterns can be done by someone who has learned the basics and some will be suitable for the beginner. Most of the snowflakes will require some stiffening but there are some pretty 3 dimensional ones which will be particularly good as ornaments. They can be used for window decorations, cards, Christmas decorations and lots of other things as well.
The book represents good value for money especially if you enjoy making tatted snowflakes.

Perfect for the winter season!
4 Jan 2000
Format:Paperback
I bought this book last fall and used it constantly throughout the holiday season, and I plan to use it to make more snowflakes during the remaining winter months. The patterns are varying, although I would like to have seen a few more and some that were more like actual snowflakes. You can tat these patterns in almost any size thread and add beads, glitter, sparkly thread to make them more lifelike, and they make great ornaments for the Christmas tree or decorations for windows or gifts. They're also nice to tat during the hot summer months when you think you're going to suffocate from the heat and humidity ; )
