Tatting is a technique for handcrafting a particularly durable lace constructed by a series of knots and loops. The lace is formed by a pattern of rings and chains formed from a series of lark's head knots, called double stitches, over a core thread. Gaps can be left between the stitches to form picots, which are used for practical construction as well as decorative effect. Read more at Wikipedia.
