I did not edit this pattern for modern terms and style. It appears as it would have been written when first published.
That is a very pretty lace. Did you make the piece shown or is that the illustration in the book?
ReplyDeleteIt is the illustration from the book. it is a very easy piece to tat though. I have tatted it before. I just like the old pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat pattern is simply beautiful, thanks so much. I love the old patterns so much. I am also looking for a pattern, it is a baby's hat, Irish knit rib, seed stitch diamond shaped ear flaps. If you have anything like that I would be interested. Thanks for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteThanks, this is a lovely pattern. Do you have any Irish knit baby hats? I am looking all over for one with cable and seed stitches that has a diamond shaped ear flap. Again, thanks.
