Lots of Irish crochet doily patterns! Irish crochet is an intermediate to advanced technique of crocheting. It is very tedious and time consuming, yet the results are stunning! This book has easy to follow written out instructions. Most of these designs may take some time to master, but you'll definitely end up with an heirloom treasure. Rita Weiss and Dover always have outstanding crochet patterns as well as other needlecraft books. Put them on your top 5 best sellers!

This is a great book to own if you are looking for old-fashioned patterns. Has instructions for making fringe. Excellent if you have some background in Irish Crochet technique.I recommend all Irish Crochet books by Rita Weiss. Her patterns are concise and easy to follow.

they are beautiful patterns, but not what i was looking for. Im not found of making bedspreads from thread [ tho there is no denying their beauty!] or even lace to sew on dresses, hang on shelf ends etc. I was thinking / hoping there would have been more doilies and baby items in this booklet. It's pretty good anyways, just not my favorite.

Create airy and delicate lace designs for table, bed and wardrobe using the time honored technique of Irish Crochet. This handsome handicraft known for its raised floral motifs and intricate background patterns, probably originated in the convents of Ireland, where diligent nuns prepared beautiful ornaments for use in church services. Rita Weiss, a noted needlework designer and best selling author, has collected the finest, easily workable example f Irish crochet from rare American thread and hook charts.
