Here is my new free tatting pattern. This is a beaded necklace pendant tatting pattern.
Tatting makes really elegant looking jewelry, especially if you use smaller thread. This necklace pendant is made with Lizbeth thread and seed beads.
Lizbeth thread comes in many different colors, solid colors and multi-colored. I used multi-colored Lizbeth thread for this pendant and the color of the thread is called “Red Burst”.
Tatting is one of my favorite crafts and tatting has been around for centuries. Usually with tatting you hear a lot about lace edgings and doilies, but you can also make jewelry, ornaments and more.
This is a beaded pendant tatting pattern, so I would call this a intermediate tatting pattern because it uses seed beads.
You can also make this necklace pendant without the beads and just have regular picots where the beads would go instead.

The finished necklace pendant is approx. 2″ wide and 2″ long. You can use a different size thread for making the pendant, but just remember that using a different size thread will change the size of the finished project.

Round 1:
For the first round of the necklace pendant you’ll need to string 20 beads on the thread. Wind your shuttle with the Lizbeth thread.
You’ll need 8 of the beads on your shuttle and 12 beads on the ball thread.

Making the pendant into a necklace.
Open the jump ring with the jewelry pliers and attach it to the middle ring on one side of the pendant. Now attach the jump ring to the necklace chain and close the jump ring.
Now you have a finished beaded necklace pendant. This necklace pendant can be made with the beads or even without the beads.
I made the necklace pendant both ways and I don’t know each way I like it better. To me it looks elegant without the beads, but also with the beads.
Thank you for reading this free necklace pendant tatting pattern. And I hope that you enjoy making this free pattern.
