Basic tatting techniques including the knot, rings, and chains. Students who learn the technique should be able to complete a four ring butterfly. 

 A shuttle and enough thread for practice and to complete the butterfly will be provided. If desired, students can purchase a kit (at additional charge) that will enable them to make a pair of butterfly earrings.
