Handicrafts For The Handicapped by Herbert J. Hall and Mertice M. C. Buck


In Handicrafts For The Handicapped,  the authors, Herbert J. Hall and Mertice M. C. Buck, have gathered together a variety of crafts and skills, including netting.  While the book, published in 1916, mentions many different and practical ways netting has been used, it gives only a few patterns.

  1. Netted Loops and Borders  (Chapter III; part 2)
  2. Baby's Cap  (Chapter III; part 2)
  3. Hammock  (Chapter III; parts 1 and 2)

This week I've remade another of my doily patterns.  I called this one Aurora.  It is 16 inches in diameter and used 94 yards of size 20 crochet thread.
