Oriental Carpets in Miniature: Charted Designs for Needlepoint or What You Will





Rug designs from Turkey, the Caucasus, and Iran, carefully reduced in scale and accurately charted, help you do a variety of handsome small take-along projects. Photographed in color and charted in black and white, the rugs provide needlecrafters with a variety of options beyond the original needlepoint. Beadwork is the latest use for these patterns.What an absolutely perfect craft Frank Cooper has come up with in these miniature needlepoint Persian, Caucasian, and Turkish carpets! They are simple, beautiful, unusual, and portable. The miniatures are typically between 6-9 inches in width and 10-16 inches in length, and though they are quite detailed, the stitches are not impossibly tiny. Cooper uses a #18 canvas (18 stitches per 2.5 cm), which allows these little jewels to work up surprisingly quickly. The instructions are plainly written; the charts are the book's only real drawback, as they must really be enlarged on a copier to be usable by the average needleworker. But the patterns are authentic, taken from rugs Cooper has studied closely in his travels, and the color photographs and the historical background he adds to each rug's description are alone worth the price of the book.
