Synopsis

The fine art of knitted lace can be practised by hand or machine; better still, by a combination of the two. There is wide scope for the use of knitted lace, including fashion, furnishings, hangings, trimmings for linen, accessories, nets, edgings or insertions and room dividers. The techniques are not difficult to master, and the selection of modern knitted lace illustrated in the book shows the standards that can be attained. The laces are grouped in categories so that each technique can be mastered with the minimum of effort. Typical patterns are provided for each category, as well as a number of knitted lace edging patterns over 100 years old. The techniques needed to knit lace are carefully explained in a separate section. The book contains 221 black and white photos, 7 line drawings, 50 original charts, 25 punchcards and 11 colour photos.
