A D.M.C Library manual on making Irish crochet lace, edited by Th. de Dillmont. It covers tools and threads, and gives row-by-row instructions for the motifs: wheels, flowerets, leaves, sprays, calyxes and tendrils, all with photographs. Further sections cover picot stitches, crochet network grounds, footings and scalloped borders, and machine-made grounds as substitutes. Seven plates of finished laces come with working directions and thread specifications. The patterns are reproduced as tracings, including full-size versions on linen, and the book ends with D.M.C thread and publication advertisements.
