Patterns by Herbert Niebling (1903-1966), the master of lace knitting, are popular worldwide. As a designer, the "lace king from the Bergstrasse" is unmatched: spiderweb-fine, elegant blankets and curtains, bedspreads, and cushions featuring wonderfully expressive floral motifs are created according to his knitting instructions. The patterns in this reprint come from his highly creative and successful period before the war in Bensheim on the Bergstrasse, including the Sabine blanket, the Adelaide blanket, and other impressive models.
