If you're just starting out on your tatting journey, or have been tatting for a while and just need a little refresher course on the basics, TotusMel's Instructable "Learn Needle Tatting With My Flower Pendant" will get you started in mere minutes.
Here's the one I just made with our Size 6 Tatting Needle from this set, and size 8 pearl cotton (I found the size 7 needle, typically recommended for size 8 pearl cotton, was too fine and my stitches were getting stuck on the end of the needle eye).
Worked out great, and it only took maybe 20 minutes!
