A needlework pattern book published by Carl August Friese in Pirna and Leipzig, compiled by Emma Merlo for women who embroidered, knitted, crocheted or worked tapestry. Its plates show grids of stitched motifs: garlands, flower bouquets, wreaths with butterflies, fruit sprays, borders and arabesques, each marked on a squared ground like a counted-thread chart.
