Summary "Beeton's Book of Needlework" by Mrs. Beeton is a comprehensive instructional guide on needlework techniques written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a detailed resource for various types of needlework, including tatting, crochet, knitting, and embroidery, aimed primarily at women looking to enhance their skills or engage in creative hobbies. The opening of the book introduces the art of needlework, highlighting its historical significance and the increasing interest among women of all backgrounds. It sets the stage for the instructional content that follows, beginning with a focus on tatting, detailing the tools required, and providing step-by-step instructions on stitches and patterns. The thoroughness of the guide is evident as it not only describes techniques but also mentions the quantities of materials needed for each project. Thus, the beginning of this manual presents an encouraging invitation for readers to explore and master the art of needlework through clear and practical guidance.
