[Figure 6] FIG. 6 is a photograph showing an example of a tatting lace decoration formed by the tatting lace forming method shown in FIG. 5. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0018] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the following description, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted or simplified. FIG. 1 is a photograph showing an example of a tatting lace decoration formed by a tatting lace forming method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The tatting lace ornament 1 shown in Figure 1 is an eyeglass strap formed by the tatting lace forming method. The tatting lace ornament 1 is not limited to eyeglass straps, but can also be finished into any other product such as earrings, brooches, or other decorative items.
[0019] FIG. 2 is a photograph showing an enlarged view of a part of the tatting lace decoration shown in FIG. Tatting lace is formed by stringing together multiple knots (knits, purl stitches, and piques) to form a predetermined shape 10, and the multiple predetermined shapes 10 form an overall shape (for example, a tatting lace decoration 1 shown in Figure 1).
[0020] In the tatting lace forming method of this embodiment, in particular, a certain predetermined form 10 is connected to another predetermined form 10 while being three-dimensionally angled relative to the certain predetermined form 10. In detail, in the tatting lace forming method of this embodiment, the certain predetermined form 10 is connected to the other predetermined form 10 by placing the other predetermined form 10 on a surface (flat or curved surface) that intersects with a surface (flat or curved surface) on which the certain predetermined form 10 is placed.
[0021] Figure 3 is a diagram illustrating a predetermined shape in a tatting lace forming method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3(a) is a diagram illustrating a knot that forms the predetermined shape. Figure 3(b) is a diagram illustrating the predetermined shape.
[0022] The tatting lace forming method involves successively forming knots to form a single predetermined shape. In detail, the tatting lace maker first winds the thread around the shuttle, which is a tool used to make tatting lace, then holds the shuttle in one hand and holds the thread coming out of the shuttle with the other hand, passes the shuttle under the thread, picks up the thread held with the other hand from above, and pulls the shuttle to form a first knot (front stitch 110 shown in Figure 3(a)) on the fingers of the other hand. Next, the maker inserts the shuttle over the thread and pulls it out from below, and pulls the shuttle again to form a second knot (back stitch 120 shown in Figure 3(b)) next to the first knot (front stitch 110).
[0023] In addition, when the creator forms a block 100 and then forms an adjacent block 100, the creator loops the thread to form a loop, and then forms the adjacent block 100, leaving behind this loop of thread, which becomes Pico 200 (see Figure 3(b)).
[0024] The maker continuously forms blocks 100 each having a knit stitch 110 and a purl stitch 120, and forms a pico 200 between adjacent blocks 100, thereby forming a predetermined form 10 (see FIG. 3(b)) consisting of a plurality of blocks 100 and pico 200. Note that the predetermined form 10 may have any number of blocks 100, or may have zero or more pico 200.
[0025] Next, in the tatting lace forming method of this embodiment, we will explain how to connect a certain predetermined form 10 to another predetermined form 10 while setting a three-dimensional angle relative to the predetermined form 10 to form a three-dimensional tatting lace decoration 1 (see Figure 1).
[0026] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a tatting lace forming method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the example of the predetermined patterns 10 (10A-E) shown in Fig. 4, for example, picos 200 (200A-E) are formed between a first predetermined number (e.g., 10 stitches) of blocks 100 (see Fig. 3) and a second predetermined number (e.g., 5 stitches) of blocks 100 (see Fig. 3). Also, in the example shown in Fig. 4, joints 11 (11A-D) are formed between a certain predetermined pattern 10 and an adjacent predetermined pattern 10.
[0027] In the example shown in Figure 4, the creator knits from top to bottom in the figure, and connects the joint 11 between a certain predetermined shape 10 and an adjacent predetermined shape 10 to a pico 200 other than the one immediately before (for example, two before that).
[0028] Furthermore, the maker connects a predetermined form 10 to another predetermined form 10 that is not adjacent to the predetermined form 10 after rotating it relative to the predetermined form 10. Specifically, when connecting the joint 11 of a predetermined form 10 to the pico 200 of another predetermined form 10 other than the one immediately before, the maker rotates the thread that is pulled out from the shuttle in the same direction each time around the axis before connecting it to the pico 200.
[0029] This allows the orientation of adjacent predetermined shapes 10 to be different from each other throughout the entire tatting lace decoration (the surface on which one predetermined shape 10 is formed intersects with the surface on which the other predetermined shape 10 is formed).
[0030] Specifically, in the example shown in Fig. 4, the knitter connects the joint 11A between the predetermined pattern 10B and the predetermined pattern 10C to the pico 200A that comes two spots before. Then, the knitter continues knitting, connecting the joint 11B between the predetermined pattern 10C and the predetermined pattern 10D to the pico 200B that comes two spots before. By repeating this process, a three-dimensional tatting lace ornament 1 as shown in Fig. 1 is formed.
[0031] FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating another example of a tatting lace forming method according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a photograph showing an example of a tatting lace decoration formed by the tatting lace forming method shown in FIG.
[0032] The predetermined configuration 10 (10A-H) in the example shown in Fig. 5 is formed, for example, by stringing a plurality of blocks 100 (see Fig. 3) along a ring-shaped thread and squeezing the ring-shaped thread to bring the base-end block 100 and the tip-end block 100 close to each other, forming a ring shape (for example, a shape with a petal motif), and connecting them to other predetermined configurations 10 near this portion. Note that in the example shown in Fig. 5 as well, picos 200 (see Fig. 3) may be formed between a first predetermined number of blocks 100 (see Fig. 3) and a second predetermined number of blocks 100 (see Fig. 3), as in the example shown in Fig. 4.
[0033] In the example shown in FIG. 5, the creator starts knitting from the predetermined pattern 10A in the figure, and knits the predetermined patterns 10B to 10H in order in a clockwise direction.
[0034] Also, in the example shown in Figure 5, the maker squeezes the thread into a ring shape in some of the multiple predetermined shapes 10 (for example, every predetermined number (in the example shown in Figure 5, predetermined shapes 10A, C, E, G)), and passes the shuttle from which the thread is coming out through the ring shape before bringing the base end block 100 and the tip end block 100 close to each other.
[0035] Furthermore, the producer connects one predetermined form 10 to another predetermined form 10 while creating a three-dimensional angle with respect to the predetermined form 10. Specifically, in the example shown in Fig. 5, the producer connects predetermined form 10A and predetermined form 10B in a mountain fold, connects predetermined form 10B and predetermined form 10C in a valley fold, and similarly connects predetermined forms 10D to 10H.
[0036] This allows the orientation of a certain predetermined shape 10 to be different from other predetermined shapes 10 throughout the tatting lace decoration 1A (the surface on which some predetermined shapes 10 are formed intersects with the surface on which other predetermined shapes 10 are formed), as shown in Figure 6.
[0037] As described above, according to the tatting lace forming method of this embodiment, a predetermined shape 10 is formed by continuously forming blocks 100 consisting of a face stitch 110 and a back stitch 120 in the direction in which the thread extends, and the overall shape is formed by multiple predetermined shapes 10. In the tatting lace forming method, a certain predetermined form 10 is connected to another predetermined form 10 in a state where the other predetermined form 10 is three-dimensionally angled relative to the predetermined form 10.
[0038] This makes it possible to create a tatting lace with a three-dimensional shape by connecting the predetermined shape 10 formed by connecting multiple stitches 110 and back stitches 120 at three-dimensional angles.
[0039] Furthermore, according to the tatting lace forming method of this embodiment, it is possible to produce a tatting lace with a three-dimensional shape by connecting a plurality of adjacent predetermined shapes 10 in a folded state.
[0040] Furthermore, according to the tatting lace forming method of this embodiment, it is possible to produce a tatting lace with a three-dimensional shape by rotating a certain predetermined form 10 with another predetermined form 10 that is not adjacent to the predetermined form 10 and then connecting the other predetermined form 10 with the predetermined form 10.
[0041] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications and improvements within the scope of achieving the object of the present invention are included in the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
