With twenty six different borders to choose from, you can make matching square insertions for guest towels, lace pillows, purses, garments, and more. Each letter contains written instructions and a chart for the letter and border in the photograph, and 2 separate charts for the letter alone and the border alone for customization. Charts for numbers zero through nine are also included. You can omit the borders and use the letters for monograms, inscriptions or mottos, laces or insertions. Many of the borders can be adapted to longer insertions. Originally designed by Ethel Herrick Stetson in 1916. This is not your usual scanned vintage crochet pattern. To make this pattern great for today’s crocheter I wrote complete instructions, expanded the written instructions so you won’t need to skip around, and made an easy to follow chart. I also changed the written instructions to use modern US crochet terms. The only stitches you need to know to complete this lace are: chain stitch and double crochet.

Ordered to get a few more opt for letters very pleased. This book has both the written pattern and the graphed out as well…very pleased with the book. For the person needing a few more opt for letters this is a good book that you will like. I have found a few books out there that I thought would be a bit more and was felt let down. This has a good array of patterns that you can change up or use. Very pleased with my order.
Interchangeable borders & plain letters I used the “T” and the “M” letters recently to personalize an afghan. The book shows you the graphs with the letter and border, then just the letter and just the border. I used the border around the “T” for both letters because the afghan I made had roses and tulips in it. (The “T” border has floral motifs) All the graph borders are the same size and all the graph letters are the same size so they are completely interchangeable. Thank you Designer!
Crochet At first I was scared to try filet crochet but this book made it easy! Patterns are easy to read and can easily be mixed and matched to come up with your own creations! I have made several crochet filet names and used various borders from this book. In the past, I’ve tried finding patterns on the internet but they were very limited. I love making filet patterns now!
