Six-page excerpt from Mlle. Riego de la Branchardiere's Irish Lace Instructor (London, 1886), giving written shuttle-tatting patterns with a plate of engravings. Patterns include a parasol cover with diamonds, trefoils, cones and border stars, a simple edging, a round doily or cushion cover, a Shakespeare collar and cuffs, and another lace edging. It closes with a Maltese lace cushion or couvre-pied worked in crochet and joined by ribbon bands. Each pattern lists materials (Walter Evans Boar's Head cotton, tatting pins, shuttle) and stitch-by-stitch directions.
