7 Victorian knitted lace edgings: Set 1 from a Victorian Treasure: The Knitted Lace Pattern Book. C & W Thomson 1850's

I have selected 7 lace edgings to get you started. Victorian lace is much easier than you think! Use it to trim pillowcases or hand towels for guests.

In her book Victorian Lace Today, Jan Sowerby references this book in the instructions for Victorian Ruby on page 92 and two Scarfs on page 84 and 100.

Please note: these patterns are presented in their original form. In the mid-19th century, knitting terminology had not yet been standardized as it is today. Designers often created their own abbreviations and terms, then included explanations within the pattern itself. I have preserved those original definitions in the PDF.

I recommend writing out one line of the pattern at a time and then “translating” it beneath in modern terms as you work. Think of it as a little treasure hunt — one that rewards you with the discovery of a beautiful Victorian lace design.

Please note: these patterns are scans of antique sources. If when working with these patterns, you find any errors in the instructions, I would be obliged if you could pass on any errata or comments. I can add them to the pattern for the next crafter.
