A one-page instructional item from Godey's Lady's Book (August 1873) on tatting a handkerchief border and insertion. It describes working double ovals to the right and left, joining the second row to the first, adding small ovals joined by a twisted bar, and gives the double-stitch and purl counts. An engraving shows the floral and vine border with scalloped edging at a handkerchief corner.
