The rich collection of crocheted patterns of elegant lace, elegant firmware, luxurious napkins and tablecloths presented in the book is not a tribute to old fashion, but a response to the requirements of the most discerning modern admirers of beauty and sophistication. Drawings - clear, visual, with decoding and a detailed description of the manufacture - will help to master this art even for those who have never been engaged in crochet. Reprint edition 1890.
