Introduction
The patterns in this book are in three styles of crochet:
(a) those worked in the usual way, to be afterwards sewn to the material;
(b) linen crochet patterns, worked directly on to the linen by an original method; and,(c) filet crochet patterns, chiefly with Australian motifs. Some of the designs are suitable for personal wear, but the object of this collection is the artistic decoration of the home.
No trouble has been spared to make the descriptions very clear, and to give such aid by diagram, etc., as to bring even the more elaborate designs within the reach of of careful amateurs, particularly those in the far away parts of the Commonwealth and New Zealand. With those readers in view, no designs requiring transfers are included, and only such cottons and linens are needed as are obtainable in Australasia.
