A one-page Work Department piece from Godey's Lady's Book (February 1878) giving instructions for a black silk side pocket with a knotted-work (macramé-style) flap and front. It describes the foundation cord, the row-by-row knotting with buttonhole loops, double knots and tatting knots, and the Josephine-knot chain that suspends the pocket. Illustrations show the finished pocket and chain and a knotted mesh panel with fringe.
