Handbook of Crochet No.1 (Tower Press, Inc., circa 1978) is a classic collection of refined lace crochet designs published in Seabrook, New Hampshire.

The elegant black-and-white cover features a beautiful lace collar with arched motifs, a diamond lattice center, and a long tassel. Inside you’ll find traditional patterns for collars, edgings, and other decorative lace pieces worked in fine crochet cotton with steel hooks.

A lovely example of the high-quality pattern booklets produced by Tower Press during the late 1970s.
