A mid-19th-century English tatting pattern booklet by Mlle Riego de la Branchardiere with written instructions for six tatted designs: the Metternich cravate and edging, Trellis edging, the Irene necktie or lappet, a lace edging and a Vandyke edging. Each pattern lists materials (Boar's-head crochet cotton sizes, tatting pin sizes, shuttle) and gives stitch-by-stitch directions with rosettes, dots, ovals and pearl loops, plus crochet headings. Illustrations show the finished edgings, and the last page advertises the author's other tatting, crochet and knitting books, tatting case and steel tatting pins.
