Tatting Day is an international holiday celebrated on April 1 every year. The art of knotting threads to make delicate lace is known as ‘tatting.’ It is one of the oldest lace-making techniques and was a part of the tradition. When tatting, tatters use some techniques to make graceful items like lace collars, lace edging, and other ornamental pieces, such as doilies. On Tatting Day, people all over the world celebrate it by engaging in lace tatting, sharing their hobby with family and friends, and consuming a fair amount of delicious chocolate.

International Tatting Day was first observed in 2011, and it has been growing in popularity ever since. The day is a chance for tatting enthusiasts to showcase their skills, share their knowledge with others, and connect with other tatters from around the world. Many tatters celebrate the day by working on a special project, such as creating a new design or completing a challenging pattern. Others may choose to teach someone new to tatting or to attend a tatting workshop or event.

One of the great things about tatting is that it can be done almost anywhere. All you need is a shuttle or needle and some thread, and you can create beautiful lace patterns while traveling, waiting for an appointment, or simply relaxing at home. Tatting can be a peaceful and meditative activity, and it provides a creative outlet for those who enjoy working with their hands.
