This page from the 1530 publication *Opera Nova Universali intitulata Corona di racammi* by Giovanni Andrea Vavassore, is a guide to needlepoint patterns, featuring a grid with instructions for creating decorative stitches. The gridded pattern, likely meant for the design of a tapestry, is an example of the detailed instructions contained in this book which aimed to teach embroidery techniques to home crafters.
