Beginning Hardanger Embroidery

The book presents the ancient art of Hardanger embroidery, along with simple and elegant projects to get you started. Make coasters, table mats, cushion covers, pincushions, bags, tablecloths, a lampshade, and more.

Note that the book is written in Japanese, but patterns and schematics are included. Crafters who cannot read Japanese but who have some experience reading embroidery and cross stitch patterns are usually able to interpret the instructions without any trouble, and others can use the projects as inspiration for their own creations.
