Crochet hook

Lock stitch chain for the needle.
Wrap the first half stitch on the needle and slide it off.
Wrap the second half stitch (2hs)(using the needle itself) onto the ball thread which is held taut.
Mock picot.
This technique allows the tatter to move from the inside of a motif to the outer row without cutting the thread.
An example of mock picot in position to aid a climb out process (marked in red.)
Note the mock picot in red which was used to climb out into second row of motif.
