I have come across several pieces of what I think is tatting-I bought several linen "flats" at auction which included oodles of vintage, hand done, lacey edging etc. and I know what crochet looks like, but how can I visually identify whether a piece has been tatted? Is it finer than crochet?
Talk to me ladies-
Thank you!

It's a little tricky-but I think what I have is crochet. The lady of the house did a lot of this fancy work-she never clipped the last of the strings on the majority of the trim so they weren't used at all, but I'll have to keep checking photos on line until I can learn the difference...from what I have seen it probably isn't tatting.
I'll have to post some photos of it CJ after the yard sale this weekend.

sooooo, Melody, were you able to identify whether it was tatting or not?

I have a towel I purchased at an antique store that has a tatted edge.
Does it look like this?

You will need to scroll down to the photo with the vintage lipstick holder. Underneath it I have the towel. I also have tatting photos on my blog. Not the greatest photos, but it may help.

more like sliding knots and small circles. Hard to describe in words. Look on the internet for pictures of tatting. Seeing some pictures will help you identify.
