Tatting is a type of LACE-making that uses a series of knots and loops to create intricate patterns. It is an old craft that has been around for centuries, and is still popular today. The term 'tatting' comes from the French word 'TATTER, ' which means 'to adorn with LACE.' Tatting is often used to make doilies, edgings, and other decorative items. It is also used to make jewelry, such as necklaces and earrings.
