My Knitting Book by Miss Lambert. Originally published in 1843.
The New Guide to Knitting & Crochet by Mary Jane Cooper. Originally published in 1847.

Create airy and delicate lace designs for table, bed, and wardrobe using the time-honored technique of Irish Crochet. This handsome handicraft, known for its raised floral motifs and intricate background patterns, probably originated in the convents of Ireland, where diligent nuns prepared beautiful ornaments for use in church services. Today, this stunning form of lace-making has been adapted and simplified for dozens of day-to-day uses: decorating curtains, tablecloths, pillows, bedspreads, lingerie, collars, children's clothing, doilies and more.

Rita Weiss, a noted needlework designer and best-selling author, has collected the finest, easily workable examples of Irish crochet from rare American thread company booklets of more than fifty years ago. Step-by-step instructions, stitch and hook charts, metric conversion charts, and forty clear illustrations allow you to make magnificent accessories in these lovely patterns: My Wild Irish Rose, Popcorn, Rose of Sharon, Cinderella, More Than a Touch of Blarney, Beauty Rose, "Smilin’ Through," Tournament of Roses, Wedding Ring, Dublin Beauty, Irish Springtime, and others. No skills beyond a familiarity with ordinary crochet techniques are needed to create these beautiful patterns. In addition, expert tips on blocking and finishing make it certain that your final product will be nothing short of a work of art.

With this versatile, inexpensive guide, the beauty of Irish Crochet - once thought too difficult to achieve by any but the most experienced needleworkers - is now within reach of even beginning crocheters.

A silver wreath, about 16" high, made of crepe-backed foil paper. The wreath is a cardboard circle with a revolv­ing pinwheel star in center.

   Materials: Norcross green-and-silver Fashion Foil paper (a crinkly paper that is green on one side and silver on the other); lightweight cardboard; glue; scrap of green yarn; three tiny jingle bells; three small Christmas bells.
   Directions: Cut a cardboard circle, 13½" across; cut a 12" circle out of the center of it, leaving a rim 1½" wide. Cut a cardboard 5-pointed star (see directions below), 9" across. Using cardboard patterns, cut two stars and two rims from foil paper; make foil paper rims 1¼" wider, inside and outside, than cardboard. Glue one foil star to cardboard star and one foil rim to cardboard rim, green side out. Score along dotted lines and slash along solid lines pinwheel fashion (Fig. 3). Place star inside rim (Fig. 4), card­board sides up, and glue a cord across them, forming cord into a loop at top. Glue remaining foil star and rim, silver side up, onto uncovered side of cardboard shapes. Cut pinwheel slashes of stars through this foil covering, then bend slashes outward along scored lines (Fig. 3). Fringe inner and outer edges of rim diagonally. Tie a bunch of jingle bells to center of star (when star spins, bells will jingle). Make a large loop of foil paper and tie it to top of wreath. Tie three Christmas bells to center of foil loop.

HOW TO MAKE A STAR

1. Draw a circle desired size of star. With compass or dividers, find 5 equidistant points A on circumference of circle. Draw lines to connect points to form a pentagon.
2. Using same center of circle, draw another circle as illustrated (distance of inner circle from outer circle controls depth of star points). Find centers of 5 sides of pentagon (points B). From these centers, draw a line through center of circle to opposite points A.
3. Draw lines from points A of pentagon to where dividing lines intersect inner circle (points C) to form star.
