Crochet Book
Edgings and Insertions
Published by

This is a
PDF Digital Reproduction
of a book published in
1913, with 48 pages. The book contains instructions and pictures for many
different edgings and insertions. Some are fairly plain and some are quite
elaborate. No width sizes are given so judgement of size will have to be
made from the pictures. Some are thin enough for handkerchiefs and some
are quite wide. The stitches used are the same as used in modern crochet;
chain, slip stitch, double,
half treble, treble, double treble, long treble and picot.
Many of the designs are unique; all are stunning!
There is an Explanation of Stitches and Directions
for 105 Figures, some of which are edgings and some insertions. There are
matching sets although only a few are paired. On close inspection, it
would appear that many are similar enough to be interchangeable.
I have paired the most obvious sets in the third
picture plus the insertions. The first two pictures contains pictures of
the edgings included. There is also one set to make the Linen Centerpiece
with insertions in edging in filet crochet also pictures in the third set.
"All of the edgings in this book were made
of No. 100 Cordonnet crochet cotton excepting those in which
the number of cotton is specified in the directions. For No. 100 cotton
use a No. 13 hook, for No. 70 cotton a No. 12 hook; for coarser cottons use a
hook that will carry the thread easily without splitting it."
