Featured in this wonderful collection are many elegant designs that might have been lost to posterity without the author's dedicated research efforts. The volume includes 50 classic tatting patterns (illustrated with over 40 photographs and line drawings) for doilies, edgings, baby caps, collars, yokes, and more. Basic tatting how-to's for beginners, too.
Lots of Doily and edging patterns, written out, not diagramed. Still, not too difficult to follow. I have owned this book for many years and have made many of the patterns. The "Party Time" doilies at the front of the book are a favorite and I have used it many times. All basic tatting patterns, no advanced techniques such as split rings/chains etc.
