Issue No. 21 (First Series) of the Needlecraft journal, published by the Manchester School of Embroidery, devoted to Irish crochet lace. It opens with a short history of the lace, credited to Mademoiselle Riego de la Blanchardiere, and covers materials such as padding thread, cork-handled crochet hooks, meshes and Emerald-green foundation cambric. It then gives row-by-row crochet instructions for a collar band, a large Irish lace collar, flowers, stars, a passion flower, filling stitches with picots, a shamrock border, spiral and other edgings, a vine leaf with grapes, and a pomegranate sprig, illustrated with 24 photographs. The issue ends with advertisements for threads, wools and embroidery supplies.
