Weldon's Practical Needlework #8

Technique - Crochet

This beautiful black hardcover volume of patterns reproduced from the 1800s offers instructions for working monograms into your stockings and gloves, and features knitting patterns primarily for babies, toddlers and their dolls. Introduced for the first time in the Weldon's series are Bulgarian and Hungarian embroidery styles worked in satin and buttonhole stitches that produce stylized floral motifs common to each ethnic needlework tradition. The crochet sections feature caps, capes and booties, and several lace borders for embellishing linens. Black-and-white 152-page book is 9" x 12".
