Product Information

The Ladies' Workbook for Knitting, Crochet & Point-Lace: Patterns & Instructions was originally printed in 1880s and this fine digital reprint maintains the integrity of the original book.

"There is not one art practiced by ladies which is more deservedly popular than Knitting. It is so easy, requires so little eyesight, and is susceptible of so much ornament, that it merits the attention of every lady; and in giving instructions for acquiring it, we add, also, such admirable diagrams of the various processes, we are sure that no difficulty will be felt in executing any pattern."

This book will teach you to knit, to crochet, to do Point-Lace and other yarn and thread work. You will learn the fine art of making the antique items pictured in the book, such as a Ladies' Night Cap and a crochet toilet cover, by using the patterns and instructions in this book.
