Mee's companion to the work-table, containing selections in knitting, netting, and crochet work

Mee, Cornelia, 1815-1875. nr2004008501 · 1844 · London : D. Bogue · 8 pictures

A needlework pattern book by Cornelia Mee, published in London by D. Bogue in 1844, offering knitting, netting and crochet designs for women working at home. The pictures are grid-based charts of dark squares with pale dots forming repeating motifs, bands and borders, so a designer could take geometric lattice and stitch-grid structures as a source for pixel-like or tiled patterns.
