A Victorian magazine article on making macramé lace, with a short history of the craft and its supposed Arabic origin. It explains the equipment (a weighted pillow or a board loom) and the main knots shown on two knot samplers: the double macramé knot, slanting bars, Solomon's knot, crinkled bars, the raised picot knot, and picot bars. It then gives working instructions for a vandyked edging with fringe, a square panel with added corner threads, and an insertion, plus advice on cutting thread lengths. The article is signed Ellen T. Masters.
