Tatting theory and patterns

The book consists of 87 pages in hard cover and of high quality paper (135g/m2, B5 format). It contains tatting instructions supplemented with over 80 educational photos and drawings and - most importantly - 28 unique patterns, all of them diagrammatic and colour-coded, accompanied by over 50 full-colour photos of the finished pieces.

Unfortunately, some small ambiguities and mistakes were found in the patterns presented in this book. That is why we prepared an appropriate errata, which can be downloaded as a PDF file by clicking HERE.

Opinions:

It really is a lovely book and the directions on how to tat are really fantastic with the photos. His works are beautiful, neat and extremely feminine without being kitsch, like so many old tatting patterns. I look forward to seeing more of Jan's creations!

The book is simply great!!! The illustrations are nice and all schemas are clear. I will recommend the book to the other tatters.

The book is phenomenal! I am working on one of the collars right now (April 2007) and I am delighted at how simple it is as well as how pretty and elegant it is. Please pass on my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Mr. Stawasz. I hope that more of his patterns will be published in the future.
