Twine crochet work, with illustrations by active 1883-1884 Marie Louise Kerzman
Twine crochet work, with illustrations by active 1883-1884 Marie Louise Kerzman is an instructional craft manual written in the late 19th century. It focuses on decorative crochet made with cotton twine, especially patterns for household adornments. The likely topic is practical, illustrated guidance for making twine-crocheted lambrequins and related items. The book introduces its series context, then explains crochet basics: foundational stitches, materials (seine/macramé twine in various sizes), tools (a smooth bone
hook), and abbreviations. It proceeds with a substantial set of lambrequin patterns (Nos. 1–11), each presented with clear, row-by-row directions, repeats, and finishing notes, including how to attach fringes and create headings. Along the way it suggests design variations and the use of color and trimmings. A final section departs from crochet to teach netting a hammock with a seine needle and mesh board, detailing how to cast meshes, tie secure knots, and finish with end strings and rings.
