Verbindungen - Crossings by Ulrike Voelcker
​This book has been divided into two parts.

Part 1 - Crossings
196 different crossing variations are included.  Many of them work on the windmill crossing principle and these are indicated in the book with a green cross.

​Some of the crossings have sub variants shown as well.

The crossing are illustrated using colour and black and white diagrams to show how to achieve them. 

​Written notes on the crossings are minimal.

This book assumes a basic knowledge of lacemaking.  The instructions for the crossings and exercises are aimed at the confident beginner and above.

Part 2 - Exercises
8 Patterns are included to practice many of the crossing techniques. 

Each of the patterns is supplied with a pricking, photographs and a working diagram. 

The working diagrams are annotated with which of the crossing variant to use at which point in the workings.

Note that there are no written working instructions for the exercises.
