Fifth volume of Madame Hardouin's album of fine Irish crochet lace, published for the Manufacture Parisienne des Cotons L.V. et M.F.A. After a short preface, it gives row-by-row crochet instructions in French for motifs used as edgings, insertions (entre-deux), yokes (empiècements) and blouse or bodice trimmings. Each pattern is illustrated with a photograph of the lace, and the pages near the end show finished items: a baby's cap, a handkerchief, a collar and a bib (rabat). The text refers readers back to the second volume for basic stitches such as the pavé and the arceau, and recommends specific thread numbers.
