Netting In Magazines - The Ladies’ Companion


I was able to find three issues of The Ladies' Companion online that contained netting.  The years were Vol. 20 (published in 1861), Vol. 23 (published in 1863), and Vol. 27 (published in 1865).  The netting patterns were as follows:

  1. 1861
    1. Netting for Window-Curtains and Fire-Grate Veil (page 317)
  2. 1863
    1. Netted Cheese or Cake D'Oyley (page 336)
    2. Long Black Silk Mitten - Netting (page 336)
  3. 1865
    1. Netted Border (page 55)
    2. Raised Embroidery on Netting (page 107)
    3. A Fly-Catch (page 166)

Last week I showed the Plain Star I made.  This week I finished another star.


The center for this Fancy Star began as a circle.  It measures five inches from the center to the end of a point.
