Tatting is a relatively simple technique to learn, but it does require some practice to master. The basic stitch is called a "double stitch" and it is made by looping the thread around the shuttle twice and then pulling it through the loop on the hook.

Once you have mastered the basic stitch, you can start to learn more advanced techniques such as picots, rings, and chains. These techniques can be used to create a variety of different patterns.

There are many different patterns available for tatted snowflakes. Some of the most popular patterns include:

Starflakes: These snowflakes are made up of a series of stars that are connected together.
