It only has right-handed step-by-step instructions. Notable inclusions in this book are buttonhole edging (not in either of the others), lacy buttonhole edging (in this and Hardanger Filling Stitches), and 15 projects. A beginner could use this book.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xk1qhDSqg6U?si=8xKznMf_EbsaAnzu\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nFlip-through on YouTube: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/xk1qhDSqg6U?si=u9scmouWNelPLObG\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/xk1qhDSqg6U?si=u9scmouWNelPLObG<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Early-Style Hardanger<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Early-Style Hardanger<\/strong> has both left- and right-handed step-by-step instructions and focuses on traditional style Hardanger.

It does have some of the basics, such as klosters, cable stitch, eyelets etc, but that is not its main focus. Notable inclusions in this book are over 100 filling stitches and variations, and a large Hardangerband sampler project. A beginner could use this book. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G5tmV91mabI?si=yKH7A7oJqQIYOiP1\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nFlip through on YouTube: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/G5tmV91mabI\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/G5tmV91mabI<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>So which one?<\/h2>\n<p>Personally, I feel that <b>Early-Style Hardanger<\/b> would be a good one for a beginner to learn the basics really well, and also move further into harder stitches and techniques.
