"Mini Doily" Needle Tatting Tutorial (Full Project) and Free Pattern!

Follow along as I shows you, step-by-step, how to make a handmade needle tatted mini doily. Free pattern below videos (pattern suitable for shuttle and needle tatters). Enjoy, learn, have fun, and happy tatting!

P.S. This doily works great for the center of the small dream catcher, in the two part tutorial project I made earlier, "click here" to see post!

*If at any point this videos moving too fast for you, and you would like to take it slower, and get a better look at what Katy just did or follow along, YouTube has a video speed adjuster/slow motion setting, that is great to make use of.
