Vintage Tatting - A Cigar Case from 1871

 

From the Ladies' Own Paper, June 24th, 1871.  And here are the instructions - evidently we are expected to figure out the tatting pattern by looking at the illustration.  Good luck!

  1. If one enlarges the picture enough, one can count the DS and find the pattern.

  2. I wondered if that might be the answer.

    So, are you going to give a a whirl or do you not know anyone who smokes cigars? '-)

  3. I am going to give it a whirl after 11/15(when my play is over and I can relax). Dad did smoke cigars but gave them up.
