About This Book

The manual opens with a brief history of needle arts and proceeds to clear, elementary instruction and a dictionary of technical terms, enabling readers to learn stitches and techniques quickly. It provides step-by-step guidance and patterns across crochet, fancy knitting, tatting, embroidery, Berlin wool and point lace, with designs ranging from simple edgings and collars to intricate doilies, nets, bags, scarves, infant caps, and anti-macassars. Illustrative patterns and explanations cover materials, stitches, insertions, and border treatments, aiming to teach both basic execution and more elaborate decorative motifs for domestic handiwork.

COLLAR IN FRIVOLITE.
[Fig. 6.]

Materials.—Tatting-cotton, No. 3; shuttle and pin.

Make 22 trefoils thus: 18 double stitches for each loop, which must be drawn up quite tightly; three of these form a trefoil.

Make 22 trefoils, of 15 double stitches, in the same manner for the next row; and then a similar set of 12, 9, and 6 double stitches in each loop. Sew the trefoil of a collar of fancy net; put on 2 rows of tatted purled edging, as indicated in the Engraving, finish last line of Trefoils with a tatted round, and sew a muslin band round the neck.
