Book excerpt: Originally published around 1900, this book is absolutely packed with well-illustrated crochet patterns. The information and instructions within are still of much practical use to the modern reader. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. Contents Include: Entirely New Designs for Lingerie Edgings and Insertions Borders for Tray Cloths and D'oileys Deep Laces for Table Cloths and Valances Motifs for Inlet Work and Irish lace.
