Tatting is a lace-form that developed in the mid-18th century from the style of knotting done with a handheld shuttle. Popularized by the works of Mlle Riego de la Branchardiére in the mid-19th century, it is now seeing another revival. The entire form consists of variations of one knot and can be done bare-handed, using a hook, on a needle or with a traditional tatting shuttle.
