Essai d'application de la peinture à l'art de tricoter : ou, recueil de patrons à tricotage ...
A pattern book of knitting and embroidery designs by Emilie Berrin, published in Leipzig around 1800 for needleworkers applying painting techniques to knitting. The pictures are gridded charts of repeating borders, bands and motifs in cross-stitch style, mostly in muted pinks, greens and blues. A designer could take from them small-scale repeat borders, vine and leaf trails, and simple floral and geometric units suited to textile or pattern work.
