one plain stitch in the first and third purl stitches4 ,continue increasing two stitches on the two thumb stitches1 each other round1 till you have twenty-four extra stitches1 which place on another pin1 and knit forty rounds without them4 ,divide the thumb stitches on three pins1 and increase two more on the under part of it2 knit round1 decreasing the same part 7the under7 till you have twenty-two left1 which knit on till long enough1 when again decrease till you have nine stitches only2 break off the wool1 and with a worsted needle1 draw it through all the stitches1 and fasten it inside4 ,divide your stitches for each finger1 taking two more for each of the two first fingers1 than for the other two2 it is better to measure by a glove1 for the length of the fingers and thumb3 this pattern is for the left hand1 and wants the pattern for the back1 reversing and knitting on the last1 instead of the first pin2 two-thread fleecy is required4 ,directions for the different ,stitches ,,in ,,close ,,and ,,open ,,crochet ,,work4 ,the greater part of close crochet articles are done in the double-plain stitch1 which is done by taking a piece of wool1 and casting on as many loops in chain-stitch as you may require1 with the needle2 it is very simple1 being only to form a loop and draw the wool through one and another2 the easiest manner would be1 to continue drawing the wool through from right to left2 this will make the work the same on both sides4 ,the plain single-crochet is done by merely drawing the one loop you have on your needle through each stitch4 ,plain double crochet is when you have cast on the foundation-loops1 draw the wool through one stitch2 take it up again1 and through two2 this stitch is used for table-covers and sofa-cushions2 also when patterns are worked in4 ,in the double-stitch crochet1 you take both sides of the loop1 but that is only used when you require it thick1 and is very nice for soles for shoes4 ,,raised ,,crochet is worked alternately from one side to the other1 drawing the wool quite through1 and taking the underneath part of the loop4 ,the ,,chain ,,open ,,crochet is made of chains1 as for instance1 five or seven loops drawn one through the other1 and joined to the centre stitch of the preceding row2 this is very pretty for purses1 with a bead on each of the centre stitches4 ,,single ,,open ,,crochet is done by putting your needle under the wool1 and then through the loop1 draw the wool through1 you will find that you have three stitches on your needle2 draw the wool through the first two stitches1 and then through the other two2 you will now have one loop3 make one by drawing the wool through that one2 put it underneath and through the next loop but one2 repeat as before4 ,,double ,,open ,,crochet is done by drawing it through in the same manner as you did for the single1 but omitting the one-loop stitch until you have done two long stitches between each of the long ones4 ,,treble ,,open ,,crochet is much the same as the preceding patterns1 but having three long stitches and three loop stitches between2 in the next row1 remember to make the long stitches upon the loops1 and the loops on the preceding long stitches2 you increase by going twice in the same loop1 and decrease by missing one loop4 ,there is another stitch called the ,,treble ,,vandyke ,,open ,,crochet1 which is done by three long stitches1 but put through the same loop4 ,a ,,pretty ,,neck ,,tie1 ,,of ,,treble ,,open ,,crochet1 ,,and ,,two ,,colours ,,in ,,double ,,berlin4 ,cast on one hundred and forty loops1 and do one row of each colour2 three of white and five of coloured will make it wide enough2 finish with a chenille tassel at each end4 ,a ,,new ,,sofa ,,pillow1 ,,in ,,treble ,,open ,,crochet4 ,choose nine shades of double ,berlin wool4 ,cast on eighty loops1 and commence with the darkest shade2 one row of each colour to the lightest1 and the same to the darkest4 ,you may do them in shaded wool1 with white between3 make it about three complete stripes or half-a-yard square2 you can crochet both sides1 or have silk at the back4 ,a ,,carpet ,,bag4 ,this is done in the plain double crochet1 also in plain double ,berlin wool4 ,cast on sixty loops1 and choose a pretty crochet pattern for the border on each side--say a narrow border of green leaves1 perhaps ten or twelve stitches wide1 on a scarlet ground1 the centre a black ground1 with a diamond arabesque pattern1 in bright golds1 scarlets1 greens1 and blues2 to be about half-a-yard wide altogether1 with the border on the other side2 you can vary the other part of the bag at pleasure4 ,they are made up with patent leather sides and bottom1 with steel at the top4 ,in working patterns1 be particular to pass the whole between the needle and the wool you are working with4 ,,neck ,,rest1 ,,or ,,cushion1 ,,for ,,the ,,back ,,of ,a ,,chair4 ,these are very comfortable for an invalid1 they are generally done in shaded wool1 and six colours1 say scarlet1 green1 lilac1 orange1 blue and drab4 ,cast on ninety loops1 and eight rows of each colour2 this is done in the plain double crochet1 and when you cast on the loops for the foundation1 join the ends1 and work round1 they are finished with velvet ends1 and two pieces of cord round each piece of velvet2 black looks better than coloured4 ,a ,,brioche1 ,,or ,,turkish ,,cushion4 ,cast on thirty loops with black wool1 crochet four rows all round1 increasing one stitch at the end2 then take a skein of shaded double ,berlin1 and commence one stitch below the point of the black2 work round to the top of the other side1 then commence four loops below1 and work till within four of the other side1 and so on for eight rows1 leaving three less each time2 twelve pieces are required done in this manner2 all different colours are prettier1 or at least six1 and repeat them once when you have finished1 then crochet them all together and six rows completely round the bottom2 you will find you have a space in the middle2 crochet enough rows to fill this up1 decreasing every three loops2 make a round cushion1 and cover it with your crochet3 put a ,brioche mount in the centre4 ,a ,,very ,,elegant ,,bag1 ,,in ,,french ,,blue ,,silk1 ,,and ,,steel ,,beads4 ,commence by casting on three hundred loops1 and crochet six plain rows in black1 then thread your beads on the blue1 and crochet a piece1 which is done by making the wrong side of crochet the right2 when you are putting on the beads1 you must put your needle through the loop1 pass a bead up close to the stitch1 and finish it1 and so on1 until the piece is completed2 then twelve rows plain1 in blue1 and six black2 the seventh and eighth are done in the plain open crochet4 ,to pass the cord through1 you ought to choose a pattern from forty to fifty rows deep4 ,you may also do round bags1 commencing with three stitches1 and increasing one in every other1 for the first six rounds1 and one in every three1 for the next twelve1 and so on until the bottom is large enough2 then as many rounds as you require for the size of the bag2 they are pretty in stripes of different colours1 with beads or patterns of another colour1 upon every alternate stripe4 ,,original ,,pattern ,,of ,a ,,crochet ,,collar4 ,cast on one hundred and forty loops1 crochet one plain row1 then one row of plain open crochet in every loop1 one row of the open ,vandyke treble crochet2 the following of close crochet1 if done correctly1 will form a leaf4 ,first--work along stitch in every loop4 ,second--work three long stitches into three loops1 make four chain stitches1 miss two loops of the foundation1 work a stitch of double plain crochet into the next1 make four chain stitches1 miss two of the foundation1 and repeat4 ,third row--work three long stitches over the three in the last row1 make five chain stitches1 work a stitch of double crochet over the one in the last row1 make five chain stitches1 and repeat4 ,fourth round--the same as the third4 ,fifth row--work five stitches of double crochet1 beginning on the last chain stitches2 before the three long stitches in last row1 make eight chain stitches1 and repeat one row quite round of the single open crochet2 in every loop at the corners of the collar1 you must increase two stitches at each end row4 ,to commence the border1 or edge of the collar1 which of course is carried round as the preceding row--,first row--make a long stitch1 make one chain stitch1 work another long stitch in the same loop1 make three chain stitches1 miss two of the foundation1 and repeat4 ,second row--work a long stitch into the one chain stitch in last row1 make one chain stitch1 work another long stitch into the same place1 make two chain stitches1 and repeat4 ,third row--the same as the second4 ,fourth row--work a long stitch into the one chain stitch of the last row1 make six chain stitches1 and repeat3 these collars may be worked in many other patterns1 some of which are to be found in a book called ,crochet ,collars4 ,no4 #ad1 or #af1 ,boar's-head cotton1 and a small steel needle is required4 ,a ,,plain ,,purse4 ,cast on seventy or eighty loops1 and crochet six rows in double open crochet2 it is prettier in two colours1 say ,french blue1 and ,ponceau1 seven stripes are wide enough2 they look well with one end square1 and a fringe of beads at the bottom4 ,a ,,mouchoir ,,case1 ,,in ,,treble ,,vandyke ,,crochet4 ,choose any pretty shades1 or shaded double ,berlin1 with rather a small sized hook2 cast on one hundred loops1 and crochet if in shades1 one row of each colour1 about thirty rows is required to make it wide enough2 they are joined so as to leave it open down the centre1 and lined with silk or satin2 you will find them better with some scent in between the lining3 they are to be fastened with a pretty button1 or ribbon4 ,,warm ,,muffatees4 ,cast on for a gentleman1 forty loops in double ,berlin1 and crochet twenty rounds in shaded wool1 then six rows of the chain open crochet2 ladies' may be done in single wool4 ,,raised ,,crochet ,,slippers4 ,these are to be done in two colours1 say shaded blue or scarlet1 with black stripes between2 cast on twelve loops1 crochet four rows in black1 increasing one stitch on each side1 and one in the middle1 this will form a point on the top of the foot2 then two rows of red wool1 increasing2 you ought to have three stripes of black1 and two of coloured2 leave all the stitches except twelve at the side1 continue six stripes of black1 and seven of coloured3 will make them large enough for a lady2 join the stripe to twelve stitches on the other side1 sew these to a cork sole1 and bind them round the top with ribbon4 ,,anti-,,macassar1 ,,in ,,six ,,shades

double open crochet quite round1 one of the single another of the double open1 and then a pretty ,vandyke edge1 if in wool1 one row of each shade4 ,,shawl4 ,these made with two coloured grounds in

narrow stripe of gold colour1 between each stripe of the ground4 ,cast on five loops with black1 and increase one stitch at the commencement1 one in the middle1 and one at the end2 then break off your wool1 and commence at the same side1 this is at the neck1 and is to be done in the plain double crochet2 continue in this manner until the shawl is large enough1 then loop on a fringe2 these must be
