      This is a Dover reprint of patterns originally published in 1915. The disclaimer inside the cover suggests you make an enlargement of the photographs of the finished items as there are no charts for these projects. Others are in chart form only. Apparently women were used to looking at these charts and making their own patterns in the past. For the experienced crocheter at an advanced level only!

    PUBLISHER’S NOTE

    Filet crochet patterns are meant to be worked from a photograph or a chart; detailed instructions are normally not required. This book was reprinted directly from a Priscilla needlework booklet, first published in 1915, and is complete in its present form. Dover does not have any additional material in the form of charts or written instructions. If you encounter trouble following one of the photographs, try enlarging it on a xerox machine or charting it yourself on graph paper.

    This Dover edition, first published in 1979, is an unabridged republication of the work first published by the Priscilla Publishing Company in 1915 under the title The Priscilla Filet Crochet Book No. 2.

    DIRECTIONS FOR FRONTISPIECE

    FILET CROCHET

    Filet Crochet takes its name from Filet Brodé which it resembles. It is at its very best when done with fine thread and the finest needle, yet it is handsome in coarse thread. For the best effect, the crochet must be firmly and evenly done.

    MATERIALS.—Any good thread is suitable. In the list below the size of Cordonnet crochet cotton is given with the size of hook and the number of meshes in an inch of the work. As the size of crochet varies with the worker, the number of spaces given is only approximate.

    EXPLANATION OF TERMS.—Chain (ch). With a slip knot on the needle, pull a loop through, then a loop through that, etc.

    Slip stitch (sl). A loop on
