A single-page pattern from the Work Department of Godey's Lady's Book (1860) for a long black silk netted mitten. It lists the materials (fine black crochet silk, two steel meshes and one flat bone mesh) and gives row-by-row netting instructions, including shaping and joining the thumb and finishing the cuff. An engraving shows the finished mitten with a scalloped cuff, floral motif and ribbon tie at the wrist.
