Issue No. 27 of the Needlecraft journal, published by the Manchester School of Embroidery, is the second series on Irish crochet lace. It introduces the Clones knot and gives written round-by-round directions for a coat collar built from five sprigs, a baby's dress trimming, a dress trimming with scrolls, a deep border design, a necktie end, and a dessert d'oyley or pincushion top. It is illustrated with 26 photographs of the finished lace, and it opens with notes on materials and tools. The last pages carry advertisements for threads, wools and needlework supplies.
