15 Pages. Hairpin Crochet is a simple technique to master that has fallen in and out of popularity for well over a century. The work is constructed simply, using a thread, crochet hook and a U-shape Hairpin Fork. The results work up very fast and provide nearly instant gratification. The patterns provided in this book are like no other, ranging from simple items such as edgings, insertions and fringes. There are also more challenging projects including lovely lace collars, edgings for doilies and other assorted laces. This is fascinating work!
This book was published over a century ago by the Manchester School of Embroidery. It provides large, clear photos of the finished projects as well as well written instructions to make the laces. It is a fascinating book, and well worth the attempt if you have never made this lace, it works up quite fast and the the results are like no other technique.
