This volume offers instructions for working monograms into your stockings and gloves, and features knitting patterns primarily for babies, toddlers, and their dolls. Introduced for the first time in the series are Bulgarian and Hungarian embroidery styles worked in satin and buttonhole stitches that produce stylized floral motifs common to each ethnic needlework tradition. The crochet sections feature caps, capes, and booties, and several lace borders for embellishing linens. And for readers who enjoyed the techniques of church decorations, Mountmellick embroidery, and crêpe paper presented in Volume 7, you'll find more of them in Volume 8.
