Book Excerpt:

Venetian or Macramé Crochet is deservedly popular. It works up quickly, is not trying to the eyesight, is serviceable and effective; and if a good pattern and a beautiful thread be chosen, is decidedly handsome and artistic. Stamped patterns for all of the designs in this book have been carefully prepared. This eliminates the chief difficulty as the pattern shows just where to place the motifs and indicates the lines of filling or the connecting bars. The patterns are accurate and will work out successfully with the instructions given.
