The Elegance of 18th Century Lace, 
Reimagined for the Modern Maker

Tatting lace is a timeless art—once the beloved pastime of European nobility, now a portable and relaxing craft you can enjoy anywhere. All you need is a shuttle, a ball of thread, and the expert guidance found within these pages.

Under the mentorship of renowned tatting artist Tomoko Morimoto, this book breaks down the sophisticated world of lace-making into accessible, beautiful "lessons." Even without English text, the highly detailed Japanese visual symbols and step-by-step photography act as a universal map for your shuttle.

The 3-Step Path to Mastery:

  • Lesson 1: Edgings (Eging) – Learn the foundations by creating delicate borders for linens and handkerchiefs.

  • Lesson 2: Motifs – Master the "whirligig" doilies and classic bee designs that form the heart of tatting art.

  • Lesson 3: One-Stroke Knitting – Explore continuous flow techniques for seamless, professional finishes.

What’s Inside:

  • 24 Exquisite Projects: Including lace collars, boutique bags, intricate doilies, and even a full tatted alphabet.

  • Beginner-Friendly Logic: Designed specifically so that those new to the shuttle can start knitting while they learn.

  • Aesthetic Inspiration: A beautiful coffee-table-quality book that captures the "Zakka" lifestyle aesthetic of Japan.

Boutique Note on Language:

While this book is written in Japanese, it is world-renowned for its clear, symbolic charts. If you can follow a visual diagram, you can create these masterpieces. This is a rare import for the serious lace collector or the adventurous beginner looking for "hidden gem" patterns.
