Product Information

"Crocheting, knitting, tatting, and embroidery have a long and interesting history. Since very early times, they have been used to create decorative accents for clothing and beautiful accessories for the home."

"The designs and patterns of today are more attractive than ever. This book was prepared so that the modern young woman of today might learn these crafts in a simple, attractive way. Like all the arts, they must be understood to be enjoyed."

"The stitches she will learn are the words with which she will be able to express her skill. The greater her vocabulary, the wider her range of expression. With her knowledge she can combine her imagination and ingenuity to create new patterns or to adapt old ones and so give color and meaning to modern life."
