A. Teunisse
Known today mainly through practical Dutch school manuals on needlework, this early-20th-century writer helped turn knitting instruction into clear, classroom-ready lessons. The surviving record is slim, but the work itself suggests a teacherly, hands-on approach focused on useful skills.

De nuttige handwerken: handboekje ten dienste der lagere school
by A. Teunisse, A. M. van der Velden
About the author
A. Teunisse is credited as a co-author of the Dutch instructional book De nuttige handwerken: handboekje ten dienste der lagere school, written with A. M. van der Velden. The edition preserved by Project Gutenberg identifies it as a practical handbook for lower-school use, centered on knitting and supported by illustrations.
The text describes itself as a tool for classroom teaching rather than a general literary work. In its prefatory material, the authors explain that the book was meant to save time in lessons and give students clearer guidance than dictated notes alone, especially through accurate visual examples.
Reliable biographical details about A. Teunisse appear to be scarce in the sources available online, so it is safest to remember this author through the book itself: a concise, practical contribution to school craft education in the Netherlands around the turn of the 20th century.
