made with silk threads in vibrant colors. A sister ties Rakhi on the wrist of her brother to
show her true love. Rakshabandhan is a festival of love and joy.
and these are the designs I came up with.
The chains in second round in these motifs are joined with CWJ.
The effect of the CWJ can be seen with clarity of picot in the first round.

The white shiny thread gives an elegant look. The joins are made with CWJ.
Here’s a variation of color for the same pattern. I am happy to share this new effect of
bare thread over the rings and CWJ. Many tatters hate bare the thread idea but I am
sure that they too shall love this effect. I will share the pattern in my next post.
Simple motif with six
rings with single color. Join contrast color for the next round using
Dot Picot
String on upper part of each Ring joined with CWJ
Bare thread and two CWJs on each ring with and without beads.
6. Sandwiching the bare thread….
In the above two, one more round of chains with and without picots is added over the bare thread.
The strings of all Rakhis are tatted with different techniques like Lock Chain Stitch, Pearl Tatting, Shoe Lace Trick etc.
Kindly post your views, comments, suggestions here.
HAPPY TATTING……………….
I like the idea of rakhis and using tatting for them. The outer bare thread is very effective, I look forward to reading more about the technique.
