This book includes antique charted patterns for 84 borders, 43 motifs, 14 complete alphabets, 9 sets of numbers and 6 overall repeating patterns.It's hard to believe these timeless charts are over 100 years old. They represent a moment in time when tastes began to shift from elaborate, richly-colored Victorian styles to a simpler look. The Art Deco covers of these diminutive booklets- in this instance, 2-3/4" by 4-1/2"- scarcely hint at the contents inside. The patterns in this book are part of a series published by H. K. Berlin SW in Germany between 1890-1920.Designs charted on graph paper are a universal language which can be translated into needlepoint, counted cross stitch and beadwork, with each square on the pattern representing a single stitch.
