A Tatter's Workbook

A most unusual and fascinating collection of tatting patterns as recorded in a New England notebook by an anonymous tatter in the 1920's. The patterns are accompanied by actual samples of the finished design and detailed by written instructions, most acompanied by a unit price for custom production. The completed samples are enlarged so the actual stitches can be counted, the worked piece serving as a graphic diagram. Most is vibrant and pastel colors. Range of designs extends from the simplest edging to elaborate motifs and dimensional work.
