Käpyily-ja solmeilutyöt [Tatting and Knotting]
Book · 62 pages · Finnish
Finnish-language instruction book (Otava's handicraft series no. 6), translated from German by Ilona Jalava, on shuttle tatting (käpyily, frivolité) and knotting/macramé-style work (solmeilu). The first part explains the shuttle, hand positions, rings, arches, picots and joining, followed by many numbered lace edgings, handkerchief borders, collars, doilies and stars with written stitch counts. The second part covers knotting bases, knots (double half-hitch, Josephine knot, leaf knot, picots) and finished pieces such as borders, a belt and reins, a vest, a bag, a cap and free-form lace. It has 147 figures; the last pages reproduce reduced pattern sheets with pattern diagrams and instructions and a list of abbreviations.
