Product Information

This 1910s Priscilla Irish Crochet Pattern Book (2-Volume Set) gives complete, step-by-step, illustrated directions for dozens of classic motifs, background stitches, borders, beadings, medallions, etc, plus ways to combine them into bonnets, purses, gowns, collars, bags, doilies, and so on.

The illustration of motifs and finished work are remarkably attractive and are large enough to be easily copied, with the assistance of the very complete directions.

Irish Crochet workers who do not possess this book would find it a most valuable addition to their needlework library.

Book Excerpt:

Of all the different kinds of lace known as ‘Irish’ that called “Irish Crochet’ is the most durable, serviceable and popular. It is made in three distinct styles at the present time: one is slightly padded, one is heavily padded, while a third has no padding. The heavily padded lace is considered the most valuable and is well worth the extra time and trouble spent on it, as it is practically everlasting. Irish crochet has this advantage also over every other kind of hand-made lace, that it can be taken to pieces, altered into new shapes, as fashion dictates, and any motif that gets worn out can be replaced at will by a new one.
