ANILLO SOBRE ANILLO - 1 NAVETA / LOOP TATTED RING - ONE SHUTTLE

To form the LTR ( loop tatted ring) you only need one shuttle.
Begin with a  normal ring as usual. When you reach the point where the floating ring is needed, you have to enlarge the ring . As you see in the first pic, you have to form three loops, named here as loop 1 (lazo 1) loop 2 (lazo 2) loop 3 (lazo 3). We will use loop 3 as an auxiliar shuttle to make the ds over loop 2

Tat the necesary ds making finger tatting, using loop 3..

 When you have finished the required amount of ds, begin closing it.
First you have to pull loop 3, cheking which side of it really close loop 3,,,

Once you have closed it, just past your shuttle through loop 3. This will anchor the ring.
Second pull loop 1, in order you close loop 3..

here you can see , as we pull loop 1, we enlarge it, and  we shrink loop 3..

loop tatted ring finished!!.. go on tatting the normal ring ....
