Den Haan & Wagenmakers (publ.)

Beaded bag No. 1

Den Haan & Wagenmakers, Edam

Pattern for a knitted bag with beading, also suitable for cross-stitch. A parrot sitting on a fence looking down at a dog. The top of the bag has a floral border which can be used independently. The bottom of the bag is a floral design with three red flowers, and blue leaves on a lighter blue background. The middle pattern has an error; the pillar behind the dogs tail does not run all the way to the bottom. Also, the mountain in the background is cut off rather abruptly. Probably this is an adaption of a larger pattern, that has been cropped to suit the dimensions of the bag.

From the Collection DHW, "35 Breipatronen van antieke kralentassen", published with permission of Wim Wagenmakers en Rudolf den Haan, edited and charted by Sytske Wijnsma.
