A Dutch-language instruction manual on bobbin lace making, the second printing of a handwork handbook from the editors of the magazine "De Gracieuse". It opens with a preface on the history of bobbin lace (Flanders, Barbara Uttmann, the Huguenots), a list of abbreviations, and an introduction to the lace pillow, bobbins, pins and pricking patterns. It then gives numbered patterns for edgings, insertions (tusschenzetsel) and corner figures, including Torchon, Valenciennes, Brussels and Russian lace. Each pattern has thread and pair counts and row-by-row stitch directions, illustrated with photographs and pricking diagrams. Basic stitches covered include the half stitch, linen (cloth) stitch, double stitch, plaits, picots, the vetergat ground and the spider.
