A Danish-language pattern book on filet work (filet lace), the technique of netting a mesh over a stick and then darning patterns into it. The introduction explains the tools, the netting stitch, increasing and decreasing for squares and strips, the diagonal net and rose filet, and stretching the net in a frame for darning. The main part shows photographed projects: tablecloths, doilies, bedspreads, curtains, cushions, blouse trimmings, collars, lamp shades and church lace, with sizes, mesh counts and thread numbers. Pattern plates (Bilag) with charted designs numbered 1 to 68 close the book, along with an advertisement for Reticella linen thread.
