of a popular crochet book published in 1912, with
48 pages. Irish crochet has a distinct advantage over other types of
crochet.
Irish Crochet "is made in three distinct styles...one is
slightly padded, one is heavily
padded, while a third has no padding."..."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."
This book explains the different stitches, then gives
instructions for making many different
kinds of motifs and borders. These can be seen in the two first sets of
pictures. Once
these are completed, they can be assembled into many different designs as can be
seen
in the third set of pictures. Finally, these motifs, borders and designs
can be used to make the most beautiful crocheted items; hats, purses, collars,
cuffs, yokes, coats or even the
exquisite wedding dress shown in the final set of pictures.
The marvel of Irish crochet is its versatility; you can easily
use the various motifs and
designs to adorn your clothing, handbags, coats, baby items or anything else your
imagination wishes!
