#ach ,illustration ,,my ,,crochet ,,sampler4 ,introduction4 ,crochet1--a species of knitting originally practised by the peasants in ,scotland1 with a small hooked needle called a shepherd's hook1--aided by taste and fashion1 has1 within the last seven years1 obtained the preference over all other ornamental works of a similar nature4 ,it derives its present name from the ,french2 the instrument with which it is worked being by them1 from its crooked shape1 termed 8crochet40 ,this art has attained its highest degree of perfection in ,england1 whence it has been transplanted to ,france and ,germany1 and both these countries1 although unjustifiably1 have claimed the invention4 ,crochet has been applied1 with considerable success1 to the production of numerous useful and decorative articles1 such as shawls1 table-covers1 couvre-pieds1 pillows1 ottomans1 chairs1 rugs1 slippers1 bags1 cabats1 purses1 caps1 waistcoats1 and the like4 ,silk1 wool1 cotton1 chenille1 and gold1 are all suitable materials for this description of work1 but the purpose for which it is intended must necessarily determine their choice4 ,crochet has the recommendation of being a less intricate method of working than knitting1 and therefore claims a more extensive cultivation than perhaps it has hitherto met with4 ,it is particularly adapted for making articles for charitable purposes2 hence1 the instruction of children in blind schools1 in this easy and useful art1 is well worthy the attention of philanthropists4 ,waistcoats1 shawls1 knee-caps1 sleeves1 comforters1 mittens1 gloves1 etc41 may be made1 without difficulty1 in crochet4 ,it has not1 however1 been deemed necessary in the following pages to give directions for any of these simple articles1 as1 when the crochet stitch is acquired1 the modes of working such1 and a variety of others1 in daily use1 will readily present themselves4 ,as an example of the double appropriation1 which almost all the following directions admit of1 we may instance the bottom of a bag2--this1 if commenced with a chain of about fifty stitches 7not joining the ends71 and worked in coarse wool1 with a large needle1 in rows backwards and forwards1 gradually increasing with a seam stitch1 will form a warm and comfortable round cape4 ,a paper pattern1 the size of any desired object1 can easily be cut1--and the making a stitch at the commencement1 or the decreasing in the middle1 or the end of a row1 and vice vers1 render this work subservient to almost any form4 ,for large pieces of work1 when wool is employed1 that kind denominated fleecy1 either ,english or ,german1 is generally to be preferred4 ,this material1 of a six-thread size1 with an ivory needle1 offers the easiest kind of work with which we are acquainted4 ,it may be readily learned1 and has1 therefore1 been much practised1 both by invalids1 and by persons whose sight either needs relief1 or has become impaired4 ,all striped patterns1 if desired1 may be worked in narrow breadths1 and joined in the dividing lines2 so that a table cover may be made in four or six lengths1 and afterwards sewn together with wool1 without the least detriment to its appearance4 ,crochet may be executed with coarse and fine chenille1 for pillows1 bags1 caps1 and waistcoats2 with crochet silk1 for caps1 slippers1 and bags2 with coarse netting silk1 it forms strong purses1 bags1 and slippers2 and the most delicate work may be done with the finer silks4 ,gold and silver cord1 and passing1 may be intermixed with the chenilles and silks1 or employed separately2 and gold and steel beads1 first strung on the silk1 may be worked in various patterns1 so as to produce the most rich and beautiful effect4 ,crochet may be divided into plain single crochet1 plain double crochet1 plain stitch open crochet1 and open crochet with one1 two1 three1 or more stitches4 ,these varieties will be described1 as they occur1 in the following directions for working4 ,the mode of working the crochet stitch1 although in itself most simple1 is difficult to describe in writing2 but1 with the aid of the annexed engraving1 which shows the position of the hands1 and the manner in which the needle and the work should be held1 we will endeavour to explain the elementary process4 ,illustration ,having wound a skein of wool1 make a loop at one end2 through this loop draw another loop1 through this second loop another1 and so on1 moderately tightening each1 as it is drawn through1 until a chain of sufficient length be made to serve as the foundation for the article intended to be worked4 ,pass the needle through the last loop of this foundation1 and catching the wool1 draw it through1 repeating the same at every successive loop2 then1 return along this row1 and1 in a similar manner1 form a second4 ,a repetition of this process1 alternately backwards and forwards1 from right to left1 and from left to right1 will give the first and easiest lesson4 ,the work will be the same on both sides1 producing1 by turns1 one raised and one sunken row4 ,before proceeding further1 however1 it will1 be necessary1 for the better understanding of the directions hereafter offered1 to give an ,explanation of the ,terms used in ,crochet4 ,illustration3 ,,the ,,crochet ,,needle4 ,a chain1--the foundation1 formed by a succession of loops drawn one through the other4 ,plain single crochet1--where one loop only is made on the needle1 and drawn through each stitch4 ,it is lighter and thinner than double crochet4 ,plain double crochet1--where two loops are kept on the needle1 and the wool drawn through both before the stitch is finished4 ,this is the crochet stitch generally practised1 and that used for working table-covers1 etc4 ,double stitch crochet1--in this1 both meshes of the chain are taken4 ,it is principally employed for the soles of shoes1 and where extra thickness is required1 but it is not suitable for working patterns4 ,plain stitch elastic crochet1--is worked alternately in rows backwards and forwards1 from right to left and from left to right1 always taking the under mesh of the chain4 ,,plain ,,stitch ,,open ,,crochet4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #a4 ,plain stitch open crochet1--is composed of chains1 of five stitches each in length1 forming loops1 each fifth stitch being crocheted to the centre stitch of the corresponding loop in the preceding row1 as shown in the engraving4 ,it is mostly used for purses4 ,,open ,,crochet4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #b4 ,open crochet--is worked 7as nearly as can be described7 as follows3--make a chain of the length required2 work one plain stitch at the beginning4 ,bring the silk round the needle1 and pass the needle through the first loop of the chain2 through this bring the silk1 which makes three stitches on the needle2 draw the silk through the first two stitches1 which leaves two on the needle2 then draw the silk through these two1 which leaves one on the needle2 through this one1 make one plain stitch4 ,put the silk over the needle1 and bring it through the third loop of the chain2 the three stitches1 as before1 will now be found on the needle2 draw the silk through the first two1 which leaves two on the needle2 draw the silk through these two1 which finishes the stitch1 and leaves one upon the needle as before4 ,the plain stitch that is then made between the two double stitches1 allows for the stitch which was passed in the chain1 and leaves an open space4 ,it is suitable for purses1 bags1 etc4 ,,double ,,open ,,crochet4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #c4 ,double open crochet1--similar to the open crochet stitch1 but varied by making the two long stitches together2 this is done by omitting the single stitch1 and passing the needle through the next loop of the chain1 instead of missing one stitch2 thus producing two stitches together1 and then an open space4 ,it is suitable for bags1 purses1 c4 ,,treble ,,open ,,crochet4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #d4 ,treble open crochet1--also similar to the preceding1 but varied by making three stitches successively1 without making any plain stitch1 which produces alternate squares of open space and stitches4 ,beads may be introduced on it with very good effect in the following manner3--let the beads be threaded on the silk1 and pass one on the middle stitch of the three double stitches1 giving a bead in the centre of each square4 ,this stitch makes a very pretty purse4 ,to make a stitch1--at the commencement and end of a row1 is to make one stitch of a chain before the first stitch1 and after the last1 which in the next row are to be crocheted4 ,a dividing1 or seam stitch1--called also a raised stitch1 is made by putting the needle through both meshes of the chain1 and working two stitches in the same hole4 ,these stitches must always be made exactly over each other4 ,in crocheting circles they form a kind of star pattern1 and serve the purpose of increasing stitches4 ,they should not be employed when working with chenille4 ,to increase a stitch1--to make two stitches in the same loop4 ,to decrease1--to take two stitches together1 or to miss one stitch4 ,decreasing is always done in the same ratio as increasing4 ,true or perfect stitch1--when working in different colours1 the keeping the stitches directly over each other1 without any appearance of the half-stitch4 ,this requires care1 but it greatly adds to the beauty of the work1 and makes the pattern more distinct4 ,to fasten off1--to draw the wool through the last stitch4 ,to fasten on1--lay the ends of the wool contrariwise1 and crochet a few stitches with both1 or work in the second wool1 and run the end in with a needle at the back of the work4 ,to run the ends1--to pass them down a few stitches with a needle4 ,this is the neatest and strongest plan2 but they may be tied and cut off4 ,a dividing line1--generally formed of two stitches alternately up and down1 into the ground of the stripes on either side4 ,n4 ,b4 ,the engravings of the patterns are placed in the book as they are intended to be worked2 that is1 by commencing at the lower part1 on the right hand side4 ,hints on ,crochet4 ,a steel crochet needle is generally advisable2--with expert workers1 it makes the most even stitches1 but it is easier to work with an ivory needle4 ,the second-sized netting silk is prettiest for purses4 ,the coarsest1 or crochet silk1 is best adapted for bags1 with steel or gold beads4 ,where many colours are required in a pattern1 and the same do not very frequently occur1 it is advisable to introduce them in short lengths1 instead of carrying on each thread4 ,this should always be attended to when working with chenille4 ,when beads are used1 they should be strung on the silk with a needle4 ,when beads are introduced1 the wrong side of the work becomes the right4 ,it is possible to crochet with the beads on the right side1 but they never lay so firmly1 nor indeed is it the proper way of using them4 ,the average number of stitches for the length of a purse1 in fine silk1 is one hundred and sixty4 ,in coarse silk1--one hundred and ten4 ,from ninety to one hundred stitches form the circle of a purse in fine silk4 ,one hundred and thirty stitches may be taken for the round of a bag1 in crochet silk4 ,a table-cover1 in six-thread fleecy1 is generally computed at about four hundred stitches in length4 ,borders of flowers1 and very intricate patterns1 may be worked in crochet1 but it would be impossible to convey a complete idea of these even to the most experienced worker1 without greatly exceeding the limits of the present work4 ,the expert needle-woman will soon perceive the best method of copying any pattern of this description she may desire4 ,the terms chin and ombr1 are frequently applied to the materials employed in crochet and knitting4 ,wool and silk are chin1 when two1 three1 or more different colours are introduced1 at intervals1 on one thread1 in the process of dying2--they are ombr1 when one colour only is similarly employed1 but which gradually runs from the lightest to the darkest shade4 ,n4 ,b4 ,in the directions for working the different patterns in crochet1 it must be borne in mind1 that unless any other stitch be mentioned1 the plain1 or double crochet stitch1 is always to be employed4 ,a ,sofa ,pillow1 or ,table ,cover4 ,this is merely given as the first and easiest pattern in crochet1 for the purpose of teaching the stitch4 ,a good-sized ivory or steel crochet needle1 with six-thread fleecy1 will be required4 ,instead of working the rows backwards and forwards1 as before described1 begin each row separately at the same end4 ,when the last stitch of each row is finished1 draw the wool through1 and cut it off1 leaving an end of two or three inches4 ,it is impossible to determine the exact number of stitches1--that must depend on the article1 and its required size2 but with this description of wool1 half a yard in length will generally be found to number about sixty-five stitches1 and a calculation may accordingly be made4 ,first stripe--one row black2 one row white2 one row black4 ,second stripe--one row dark scarlet2 one bright scarlet2 one light scarlet2--reverse the same1 to form a shaded stripe4 ,third stripe--the same as the first4 ,fourth stripe--the same as the second1 but in shades of blue4 ,these stripes are to be repeated alternately4 ,another very easy ,pattern4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #e4 ,the ground of this pattern is plain4 ,the cheques are composed of chin wool1 the first row differing in colour from that of the second4 ,the dividing line is in plain colours4 ,this pattern may be worked in stripes of different colours1 varying the colour of the cheques agreeably to that of the ground4 ,it is adapted for a pillow1 or a variety of other articles1 according to the material employed4 ,a ,sofa ,pillow in ,stripes4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #f4 ,zephyr1 or double ,german wool4 ,this pattern may be worked according to the two following methods4 ,the first is the easiest1 as one thread of wool only is required to be carried on to form the pattern4 ,commence with a chain and one row of black4 ,second row--scarlet4 ,third row--straw colour4 ,crochet a stripe1 consisting of seven rows of imperial blue1 with the pattern in chin wool--black1 white1 and scarlet4 ,repeat the three plain rows1 as before1 reversed1--straw colour1 scarlet1 and black4 ,crochet another stripe with drab1 with the pattern in chin wool--blue1 black1 and white4 ,commence again as at first4 ,the second method of working this pattern is as follows1--having the plain rows1 and the ground of the two stripes as before4 ,crochet the figure of the blue stripe1-- ,first row--three stitches black4 ,second row--three stitches claret2 two black4 ,third row--one stitch dark claret2 one gold colour2 two dark scarlet2 one black4 ,fourth row--one stitch scarlet2 two gold colour2 two scarlet4 ,fifth row--three stitches scarlet4 ,crochet the figure on the drab stripe1-- ,first row--three stitches claret4 ,second row--three stitches dark green2 two claret4 ,third row--one stitch middle green2 one white2 two middle green2 one claret4 ,fourth row--one stitch light green2 two white2 two light green4 ,fifth row--three stitches light green4 ,the above pattern may be worked for a bag1 with the same colours1 using silk instead of wool1 and commencing with a chain of about one hundred and thirty stitches1 with ,no4 #b ,crochet ,silk4 ,it is a very easy bag to work1 and1 if wished to be more elegant1 gold may be introduced4 ,this pattern1 also1 with the same sized silk1 will make a very pretty crochet slipper4 ,a very ,handsome and ,easy ,pattern4 ,commence with a chain and one row of amber4 ,second row--two stitches of amber1 and two of black1--alternately4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #g4 ,then crochet one plain row of black1 which forms the ground of the first stripe4 ,the pine pattern on this stripe occupies five rows in height2 the first row--blue2 the second--scarlet2 the third--green2 the fourth--yellow2 the fifth--white4 ,one plain row of black2 and one row--two stitches of black1 and two of amber1--alternately2--followed by one plain row of amber1 complete the first stripe4 ,the ground of the second stripe is scarlet2 the dividing lines1--both at top and bottom1--imperial blue1 the inner row of each being composed of two stitches1 alternately blue and scarlet4 ,the pattern occupies seven rows in height2 the first row--green2 the second--black2 the third--blue2 the fourth--amber2 the fifth--green2 the sixth--stone colour2 the seventh--white4 ,the third stripe is imperial blue2 the dividing lines--amber2 the pattern1--first row--black2 second--scarlet2 third--white2 fourth--green2 fifth--drab4 ,the fourth stripe is white2 the dividing lines--scarlet2 the pattern1--first row--green2 second--black2 third--blue2 fourth--scarlet2 fifth--green3 sixth--lilac2 seventh--light green4 ,repeat from the first stripe4 ,this pattern1 worked with six-thread fleecy1 will be found very easy and effective for a table cover2 using a steel or ivory crochet needle1 according to the fancy of the worker4 ,the same pattern1 with the colours as above described for the first and second stripes1 with ,no4 #a ,crochet ,silk1 will make an extremely elegant bag4 ,this should be commenced with a chain of about two hundred and sixteen stitches1 united at the two ends1 whether for a round1 or square bag4 ,gold thread may be substituted in the dividing lines1 working only one plain row1 instead of two1 as in the engraving4 ,five of the narrow1 and four of the wide stripes1 will form a bag of an ordinary size4 ,this pattern may be worked beautifully with chenille1 or with chenille and gold1 for a variety of purposes4 ,another ,sofa ,pillow4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #h4 ,this pattern is recommended as being exceedingly easy2 and1 at the same time very pretty4 ,six-thread fleecy1 with an ivory needle4 ,first stripe4 ,chain and first row--drab4 ,second row--dark crimson4 ,third row--one stitch rose colour2 one drab2--alternately4 ,fourth row--bright pink4 ,fifth row--drab4 ,second stripe4 ,first row--two stitches white2--two black--alternately4 ,second row--two stitches white2 two black2--alternately2--commencing with one stitch only of white4 ,third stripe4 ,first row--bright blue4 ,second row--dark olive drab4 ,third row--one stitch light olive drab2 one bright blue2--alternately4 ,fourth row--yellow4 ,fifth row--blue4 ,repeat the second stripe1 and commence again from the first4 ,this pattern may be varied1 by working the first and third stripes as above directed1 with the black and white stripes in double open crochet4 ,it may also be done in either manner with coarse chenille4 ,scroll ,border for a ,table ,cover1 etc41 with ,persian ,pattern ,stripe4 ,the scroll pattern of the border of this design is on a black ground4 ,the ground of each stripe of the ,persian pattern for the centre may be varied4 ,six1 or eight thread fleecy1 with a steel or ivory needle4 ,commence with3--

in different colours1 on three different coloured grounds4 ,it will be perceived that the sprigs run in a diagonal direction2 and the commencement of the first two rows of the fourth stripe1 on referring to the corresponding part of the previous stripe1 will show where the next sprig is to be begun4 ,if worked for a bag1 or sac de voyage1 the pattern should be commenced from the bottom1 thus forming a border at the lower part2 but if a pillow1 table cover1 or couvre-pied1 is intended to be made1--first crochet two plain rows1 and then commence the pattern as at the sixteenth row4 ,for working the larger articles in the above pattern1 fleecy may be employed2 for the smaller--,german wool2 and for the more elegant--chenille and gold1 or silk and gold4 ,turkish ,pattern for a ,table ,cover1 etc4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #ab4 ,this is suitable either for a table cover1 counterpane1 pillow1 the tops of large ottomans1 the cover for a chair1 a rug1 or a bedside carpet4 ,six-thread fleecy and a steel needle will be required4 ,the dividing line is formed of two clarets4 ,the stripes are scarlet1 blue1 gold colour1 and white4 ,the pattern on the scarlet stripe--two shades of green1 lilac1 white1 brown1 and bright yellow4 ,on the blue stripe--two scarlets1 two whites1 two gold colours1 two dark scarlets4 ,on the gold coloured stripe--two blues1 claret1 white1 lilac1 and green4 ,on the white stripe--two greens1 two scarlets1 two blues1 brown1 and yellow4 ,a ,table ,cover1 or ,pillow4 ,six-thread fleecy with a steel needle4 ,the pattern of the border is in black1--the ground in shades of gold colour4 ,commence with a chain of black1 and one plain row of the same2 then1 two plain rows of red brown4 ,in the next row begin the pattern as follows3-- ,first row--black1 with the single stitches of the ground in red brown4 ,second and third rows--black and orange4 ,fourth1 fifth1 and sixth rows--black1 and gold colour4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #ac4 ,seventh1 eighth1 and ninth rows--black and yellow4 ,one plain row of straw colour1 followed by one plain row of white1 complete the border4 ,commence the ground of the centre1 with one plain row of middle blue4 ,on this blue

row--light scarlet4 ,sixth and seventh rows--7forming the second pattern of the centre7--the gold colour and yellow that were used in the ground of the border4 ,commence again with the claret1 as in the first row of the pattern4 ,when the square is completed1 neatly run in the wools with a rug needle1 or tie them close to the work2 this will produce a firm edge1 on which a fringe may be sewn4 ,a ,couvre-,pied1 or ,cradle ,quilt4 ,this pattern is very easy1 and the effect exceedingly good4 ,it is well adapted for working with chin wool4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #ad4 ,the chain and first row black4 ,the next row alternate stitches of black and chin wool 7say blue74 ,the ground of the first stripe is in blue chin wool1 with the pattern in white4 ,the dividing line black4 ,the ground of the next stripe is worked in scarlet chin wool1 with the pattern in white1 except the centre line or wave1 which should be black4 ,raised ,crochet4 ,raised1 or ribbed crochet is worked in rows from right to left1 according to the ordinary method2 but the side of the work is reversed at every alternate row1 as in plain crochet 7see page #ad71 hence it becomes the same as that description of work1 with this exception1 that the back1 or under stitch1 is always to be taken2 it has therefore a ribbed or raised appearance1 and is rendered thicker and closer1 and of a more elastic texture4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #ae4 ,the annexed design is well adapted for working in raised crochet4 ,the colour1 forming the pattern1 should only be introduced when necessary1 and should not be carried on through the ground1 as in plain double crochet2 therefore1 the same thread must be taken up and dropt1 as the form of the pattern may require--a process by no means difficult4 ,when necessary1 however1 the idle wool should be carried through the stitches of that in use1 and not left loose at the back4 ,the pattern here given is intended to be worked in stripes2 these are afterwards to be sewn together4 ,it is very handsome for quilts1 couvre-pieds1 c4 ,the colours may be varied1 thus--first stripe1 white1 with the pattern in scarlet2 the second1 scarlet1 with the pattern in white4 ,shaded wools may be used for the pattern on a plain ground4 ,a ,sofa ,pillow1 ,table ,cover1 etc4 ,commence with a chain of black4 ,work one row in two stitches of black and two of scarlet1 alternately4 ,then1 one row of scarlet and one row of black2 the latter forms the ground of the border1--the pattern on which is in four shades of gold colour1--two rows of each1 commencing with the darkest4 ,one plain row of black1 and one of scarlet1 finish the border4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #af4 ,crochet one plain row of white1 then one plain row of blue2 the latter forms the ground of the centre4 ,the colours of the pine

employed for a tidy1 sofa pillow1 mat1 carpet1 cradle1 or bed quilt1 carriage wrapper1 d'oyley1 and a variety of other purposes1 where a border on each side may be required4 ,it may be worked either in plain double crochet1 or in raised crochet4 ,a different material1 together with a different sized needle1 are the only requisites to adapt it to any of the above purposes4 ,thus1-- ,for a sofa pillow1 eight-thread zephyr fleecy2 for a tidy1 three-thread fleecy2 for a window mat1 eight-thread common fleecy2 for a flower mat1 ,german or ,english wool2 for a cradle quilt1 eight-thread zephyr fleecy2 for a bed quilt1 six-thread fleecy2 for a d'oyley1 rather fine knitting cotton4 ,the size of the article1 however1 must in the first instance be determined1 and the number of stitches counted1 so as to bring in the pattern as suited to that size4 ,the simplest colouring will be the most effective1--a plain ground1 with the pattern in any bright colour4 ,designs of this description1 which require calculation and constant counting1 may be adopted as amusing1 but not as very easy work4 ,a ,diagonal-,striped ,bag1 with ,star-,shaped ,bottom4 ,make a chain of fourteen stitches1 in claret crochet silk2 join both ends together1 and crochet one plain row all round4 ,in the next row 7in order to keep the circle flat71 every other stitch is to be made a seam or dividing stitch1 which is done by putting the needle under both loops instead of one1 and making two stitches1 in the same place1 every other stitch being a plain stitch4 ,in the next row1 work the seam-stitch in the same place1 leaving two plain stitches between each1 instead of one4 ,repeat this circle sixteen times1 always observing to keep the seam stitch in the same place1 the number of plain stitches gradually increasing1 when a flat surface of about four inches in diameter will be produced1 intersected with seven raised stripes4 ,a vandyke border in claret and green may now be made as follows4 ,first row--five stitches claret2 one green4 ,second row--three stitches claret2 three green4 ,third row--one stitch claret2 five green4 ,fourth row--green4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #ah4 ,the annexed pattern may then be worked in green on the claret ground4 ,when within five rows of the top of the bag1 work one plain row of the ground1 repeat the vandyke1 and work two plain rows of the claret ground4 ,this bag is very pretty and delicate worked in white and gold1 and in blue and gold2 it may also be varied in colour as taste may dictate4 ,the pattern looks extremely well in steel beads4 ,a ,star ,bottom for a ,bag1 with ,beads4 ,make a chain of fourteen stitches1 join both ends together with the crochet1 and crochet one plain row all round4 ,in the next row1 every other stitch is to be made a seam or dividing stitch1 which is done by putting the needle under both loops1 instead of under one1 and making two stitches in the same place3 every other stitch being a plain stitch1 on which is to be a bead4 ,in the next row1 work the seam stitch exactly over the last1 which will leave two plain stitches between1 instead of one2 this is to be repeated until eight circles are formed1 every plain stitch having a bead on it4 ,crochet eight rows more1 leaving the seam-stitch in the same place1 but diminish the number of beads1 by leaving out one bead in each division on each successive circle1 so that the last row will have but one bead in each division4 ,then1 crochet four plain rows1 keeping the seam-stitch in the same place as before1 then one plain row all round1 without a seam-stitch1 which forms the bottom of the bag4 ,a ,round ,bag1 with ,star ,bottom1 and ,sprigs in ,silk and ,gold4 ,this bag is worked in plain stitch double crochet1 with crochet silk1 and gold of the same size4

lilac1 white and dark lilac1 light green1 and dark green4 ,fourth stripe--white2 the pattern in blue1 yellow1 lilac1 green1 and scarlet4 ,the narrow stripes are repeated round the back of the slipper2 they are gold colour1 blue1 scarlet1 white1 and green4 ,for a moderate-sized gentleman's slipper in crochet silk1 the toe might be commenced with twenty-four stitches1 and increased in the succeeding rows1 until the width across the instep were eighty stitches1--but1 as some persons work so much tighter than others1 a positive number cannot be given4 ,the silk also may vary in size1 as well as the dimensions required for a slipper4 ,the increasing is made by the addition of a stitch on each side of the work4 ,the stripes in the front of the slipper are gold colour1 blue1 scarlet1 and white2 the latter crosses the instep4 ,count the number of stitches on the white stripe1 and1 with the gold colour commence a stripe one third of its length on one side1 to form the back4 ,continue these stripes1 until the back be sufficiently long to be sewn to the front on the other side4 ,it is advisable1 before commencing a slipper1 to cut a paper pattern of the desired size and shape4 ,the above form chaussons to wear over the shoes1 the sole being formed of coarse crochet in black2 or they may be made up in the usual way for slippers1 either for ladies or gentlemen4 ,in crochet silk they are extremely warm and durable4--,the ends of the wool or silk1 are to be threaded with a needle1 and run into the work on the inside4 ,a ,purse4 ,plain crochet-purses are exceedingly strong1 and may be made very prettily with a moderate sized netting silk4 ,those1 worked in rows the length of the purse1 are the most easily made4 ,make a chain in scarlet netting silk of one hundred and forty stitches1 on which crochet three plain rows with the same colour4 ,then1 five plain rows in shades of green1 or stone colour4 ,these two stripes are to be repeated until the purse is of a sufficient width4 ,when completed1 it is to be neatly sewn up1 or joined by crocheting the two sides together4 ,the ends are then to be drawn up1 and the purse trimmed4 ,a ,plain ,purse with one ,square and one ,round ,end4 ,commence with a chain of fourteen stitches1 and joining both ends together1 crochet one plain row all round4 ,in the next row1 every alternate stitch is to be made a dividing or seam-stitch2 this is done by passing the needle under both the corresponding loops in the first row1 and making two stitches in the same place4 ,this dividing stitch is to be repeated in the same place on each row1 until ten rows are worked2 when a sufficient number of plain rows are to be crocheted according to the length of the purse1 until the side opening commences4 ,the opening of the purse is made by crocheting plain rows1 alternately1 from right to left1 and from left to right4 ,when a sufficient number of these are done3-- ,the plain rows are again to be worked1 to correspond with the former part2 but1 instead of the round end1 it is to be left square1 and sewn up1 with a tassel at either corner4 ,a ,plain-stitch ,open ,crochet ,purse4 ,make a chain of one hundred and sixty1 or one hundred and seventy stitches2 to the last stitch of this1 crochet a short chain of five stitches1 the last of which is again to be crocheted to the fifth stitch of the chain2 repeat this on the whole length of the foundation2 and return along the row in the same way1 by attaching every fifth stitch to the centre stitch of each loop of the last row4 ,the whole of the purse is to be continued in the same manner1 but it may be varied1 according to taste1 by using two or more colours4 ,when the purse is worked to the size desired1 cut a piece of stiff cardboard1 and sew the purse firmly to it1--the wrong side outwards2 then1 damp it with water1 and allow it to remain until dry4 ,this process will stretch the purse1 tighten the stitches1 and bring them all into their proper places4 ,then1 having sewn or crocheted up the sides1 draw up the ends and put on the trimmings4--,this purse should only be made with fine silk4 ,the pattern ,no4 #a 7page #af7 represents this stitch4 ,an ,elegant ,purse in ,silk and ,gold4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #bd4 ,commence with a chain of one hundred and eighty stitches in fine white netting silk4 ,second row--gold4 ,third row--white4 ,crochet eleven rows with bright violet silk1 with the above pattern in gold4 ,fifteenth row--white4 ,sixteenth row--gold4 ,seventeenth row--white4 ,work three rows of treble open crochet with gold4 ,the above1 worked four times1 will complete the purse4 ,it is advisable to omit one of the circular figures1 in the centre of each stripe2 and also1 to reverse the direction of the pattern at the opposite end of the purse4 ,ponceau1 blue1 or green1 may be substituted for the violet silk4 ,this pattern may also be effectively worked in any two decided colours1 either with zephyr1 or six-thread fleecy1 for sofa pillows1 tidies1 etc4 ,a ,short ,purse4 ,commence at the bottom with a chain of fourteen stitches2 unite both ends1 and work round and round1 increasing by means of dividing lines1 until a flat circle of about two inches in diameter be formed4 ,on this1 work plain rows until the purse be about three inches in length4 ,it must then be exactly divided1 and each side worked backwards and forwards1 for about eight rows1 or whatever is sufficient for the depth of the snap4 ,the annexed pine pattern1 and the usual vandyke1 are suitable for short purses4 ,about one hundred and twenty stitches will form a good-sized purse4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #be4 ,a ,sprigged ,purse in ,open and ,plain ,crochet4 ,commence with one row of open crochet1 in gold-coloured silk2 work a row of plain crochet1 every two stitches alternately blue and gold colour2 then1 one row of plain blue4 ,the next1 or fourth row--is formed alternately1 of two stitches of scarlet1 and five of blue4 ,fifth row--four blue1 five white1 alternately4 ,sixth row--four blue2 four stone colour4 ,seventh row--five stitches blue2 two pink4 ,repeat the row of plain blue2 then1 one row1 alternately two stitches of blue and two of gold colour1 and commence again with the open crochet4 ,an ,elegant ,purse with ,gold4 ,commence with one row of open crochet1 the length of the purse1 in fine white netting silk4 ,then1 one row of plain crochet1 in alternate stitches1 of white and full blue1 or white and ponceau4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #bf4 ,work the above pattern in gold1 on the blue1 or ponceau1 ground4 ,then1 three rows of open crochet in white2 and repeat the pattern and open crochet alternately4 ,when the purse is finished1 it will be found that there are only two rows of open crochet where it is joined1 but this cannot be avoided4 ,the same pattern may also be worked in gold or steel beads1 but it will then be advisable to omit the pattern in the centre of the purse4 ,an additional colour may be introduced1 with very good effect1 on the ground between the beads4 ,in a moderate-sized purse1 the pattern will be repeated seven times in the length4 ,a few plain stitches at the top and bottom of the purse will be desirable4 ,a ,short ,purse with ,beads4 ,commence with a chain of one hundred stitches1 in dark green netting silk1 and work one plain row2 then1 crochet five rows with steel beads1 to form the first stripe of the pattern4 ,work one plain row of white4 ,then1 on the white ground1 crochet the second stripe of the pattern1 with gold beads4 ,work one plain row of white4 ,the third stripe is green1--the lower division of the pattern is in steel beads1 the upper1 in gold beads4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #bg4 ,the fourth stripe is white1 the pattern in steel beads1 with one plain row of white at top and bottom4 ,commence again with the green1 and having worked the five rows of the pattern with gold beads1 finish with twenty plain rows of green4 ,a ,purse with ,beads in ,plain and ,open ,crochet4 ,make a star bottom with steel beads 7as directed page #fe71 and fine netting silk of a dark emerald green4 ,work three rows of open crochet in a light green--then1 either of the annexed patterns1 in steel beads1 on a ponceau ground4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #bh4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #bi4 ,work two more rows of open crochet in light green4 ,repeat the pattern with steel beads1 and work two more rows of open crochet4 ,this completes one end of the purse4 ,the centre is to be in plain crochet4 ,spiral ,crochet ,purse4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #cj4 ,make a chain of one hundred and seventy stitches1 in reel silk4 ,to the commencement of this chain1 crochet another short chain 7as in plain stitch open crochet71 of three stitches1 the third stitch of which pass through the fourth stitch of the chain1 and work three plain stitches4 ,crochet another chain of three stitches1 and pass the last stitch1 as before1 through the fourth stitch of the chain4 ,this is to be repeated to the end of the row4 ,all the succeeding rows are the same1 except that the plain stitches of the next row are always one stitch in advance of the preceding4 ,spiral crochet may be varied by working five1 or seven stitches1 instead of three1 as above directed4 ,most elegant purses and bags may thus be made1 by the introduction of gold1 and using the silk in shades4 ,a ,plain and ,open ,crochet ,purse4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #ca4 ,commence with one row of open crochet1 in fine netting silk1 of a dead gold colour4 ,work one row of plain crochet in black1 and five rows in blue2 on the latter1 the above sprig pattern may be worked in gold1 or steel beads4 ,one plain row of black completes the stripe4 ,work two rows of open crochet in the gold colour4 ,then1-- ,seven rows of black1 with the ,grecian border in ponceau1 on the same1 to form a second stripe4 ,repeat the two rows of open crochet in gold colour1 and commence again1 with the blue stripe1 as before4 ,the purse should be about nine inches in length4 ,it will take three skeins of blue silk1 two of gold colour1 one of black1 and one of ponceau4 ,the silk should be fine4 ,another ,purse4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #cb4 ,work one row the length of the purse1 in treble open crochet1 with fine white netting silk4 ,then--two rows of plain crochet1 in ponceau4 ,crochet thirteen rows in white1 with the above pattern in gold passing4 ,repeat the two rows of ponceau2--then three rows of treble open crochet1--the first in white2 the second in ponceau2 the third in white4 ,repeat the pattern1 etc41 and when the purse is of a sufficient width1 finish with one row of treble open crochet in white4 ,crochet up the two sides1 with ponceau1 to the opening4 ,then1 work one plain row in ponceau1 round the opening1 to strengthen the purse1 and give it uniformity4 ,if intended for ordinary use1 the colours may be changed to blue and claret4 ,a ,round ,d',oyley or ,mat4 ,commence with a chain of six stitches1 in black eight-thread fleecy4 ,unite both ends4 ,crochet all round1 increasing on every stitch1 for the first row4 ,the pattern may be formed in three shades of scarlet1 on a blue ground of three shades2 the darkest shade of the scarlet being on the lightest shade of the blue4 ,second row--one stitch of dark scarlet1 and two stitches of light blue1 alternately2--forming the commencement of a star of six points4 ,third row--three stitches of the dark scarlet1 and two of the blue4 ,fourth row--five stitches of a lighter shade of scarlet1 and two of the blue4 ,fifth row--five stitches of the lighter scarlet1 and three of the second shade of blue4 ,sixth row--three stitches of the lightest scarlet1 and six of the second blue4 ,seventh row--one stitch of the lightest scarlet1 and eight of the darkest blue4 ,eighth row--one plain row of the darkest blue4 ,three plain rows of black1 will finish the ,d',oyley4 ,in every row1 increasing stitches are to be made in the blue2 and also1 in the plain rows of black4 ,a ,chancelire4 ,illustration ,four-thread fleecy with a steel needle4 ,it is impossible to give the exact number of stitches for the commencement of a chancelire1 as each row varies2 it is advisable1 therefore1 to cut the shape in stiff paper1 as a pattern1--first of the top1 and then of the border4 ,in those parts where it is requisite to increase the width of the work1 it should be done by making an extra stitch on each side4 ,the stitches of the border are to be worked in a contrary direction to those of the top1 as shown in the preceding engraving4--,the following pattern will be found suitable for a chancelire4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #cc4 ,commence at the toe1 by working two plain rows of ground in scarlet1 and crochet the centre stripe of the annexed pattern in rich green1 on the same coloured ground4 ,the ground of the next stripe is black1 on which the pattern is to be worked in three shades of gold colour4 ,work a plain row of middle blue1 which also forms the ground of the small chain pattern1 with the exception of the centre row1 which is claret4 ,the chain is in white4 ,work a plain row of claret1 and then repeat the second stripe as before1 with the colours reversed4 ,the above colours1 if well chosen1 are exceedingly pretty1 but they may be varied according to fancy4 ,the slipper pattern ,no4 #bc1 and also the ,turkish pattern ,no4 #ab1 are equally adapted for a chancelire4 ,the chancelire should be made up on a very firm foundation1 and stuffed between the lining and the work with wool3 the inside should be made separate1 and knitted in the brioche stitch1 with six or eight thread fleecy4 ,the ermine ruff1 or trimming1 of worsted1 may easily be procured1 but if it cannot readily be so1 a thick knitted fringe1 three or four times doubled1 will be a good substitute4 ,the bottom is formed of leather or cloth4 ,a ,square ,border ,pattern4 ,the annexed pattern is adapted for any square requiring a border1 such as a table cover1 mat1 quilt1 sofa cushion1 couvre-pied1 etc4 ,to render it easy1 the centre may be worked in the same colours as the border1 introducing any spot1 sprig1 or other small pattern1--the same colours being carried through the whole1 or slipped at the back4 ,if1 however1 the plan of introducing the colour only in the pattern be understood1 it may here be employed with advantage4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #cd4 ,the ground of the pattern might be in a self colour1--say white1 with the pattern in scarlet2 or1 the ground might be in five shades of scarlet1 the pattern being crocheted in emerald green1 blue1 white1 or black1 according to taste1 or the purpose for which the work was designed4 ,the whole of the pattern might also be worked in chin or shaded wool4 ,the kind of wool to be used must be adapted to the purpose for which the work is required2 thus1--for a quilt or couvre-pied1 six-thread fleecy--for a mat1 eight thread common fleecy2--for a table mat1 ,german wool2 for a baby's quilt1 or a sofa pillow1 eight thread zephyr fleecy4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #ce4 ,for the centre of the design1 either the preceding sprig pattern1 or the patterns ,nos4 #bj or #ci1 may be taken4 ,if the ground be worked in shades1 five shades of any colour1 neither too distinct1 nor too dark1 should be selected4 ,this border is well adapted for ribbed or raised crochet1 as described at page #eg4 ,a ,table ,cover1 ,pillow1 or ,mat4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #cf4 ,commence with a chain and one row of black4 ,crochet four plain rows1--one white1 one light green1 one white1 one black4 ,the latter forms the ground of the border1--the pattern on which is in three shades of scarlet--two rows of each1 beginning with the darkest4 ,one plain row of black finishes the border4 ,work six plain rows3--the first1 green2 the second1 white2 the third1 green2 the fourth1 black2 the fifth1 white2 the sixth1 scarlet4 ,the ground of the centre may be gold colour1 commencing with one plain row1--the colours of the pine pattern on which are as follow3-- ,first row--middle blue4 ,second row--light blue4 ,third row--dark scarlet4 ,fourth row--light scarlet4 ,fifth row--four stitches middle green2 three white2 four middle green4 ,sixth row--four stitches light green2 three white2 four light green4 ,seventh row--three stitches lilac2 two black2 three lilac4 ,eighth row--four stitches light lilac2 two black2 four light lilac4 ,ninth row--middle green4 ,tenth row--light green4 ,eleventh row--dark scarlet4 ,twelfth row--light scarlet4 ,small ,pine-pattern ,table ,cover4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #cg4 ,the chain and first row--black4 ,second row--scarlet4 ,third row--white4 ,fourth row--bright blue1 which continues through the next three rows1 forming the outer ground of the border4 ,the pattern of the border is in shades of scarlet4 ,fifth and sixth rows--blue1 and dark scarlet4 ,seventh row--blue1 bright scarlet1 and drab--the latter forming the inner ground of the border4 ,eighth row--bright scarlet and drab4 ,the single stitch at the top of the blue ground being white4 ,ninth and tenth rows--light scarlet1 and drab4 ,eleventh row--drab1 which also forms the ground of the centre4 ,the colours for the small pine pattern in the centre1 are1--black1 two shades of blue1 and white4 ,in the next1 or reversed row of the pattern1 the colours may be varied as follow3--black1 two shades of scarlet1 and white4 ,scroll ,pattern ,stripe for a ,bag4 ,commence with chain and first row1--bright green4 ,second row--scarlet4 ,third row--green4 ,fourth1 fifth1 and sixth rows--treble open crochet1 with gold4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #ch4 ,seventh1 eighth1 and ninth rows--repeat the first1 second1 and third rows4 ,then1--crochet a stripe1 consisting of eleven rows1 with the above pattern1 in dead gold colour1 on a violet ground4 ,as these stripes range perpendicularly1 the position of the scrolls in the pattern should be reversed at the bottom of the bag1 in order that they may appear the same on either side4 ,this bag may be worked in various combinations of colour2 it is very pretty if the pattern be worked in shaded1 or chin1 silk1 and the stripes alternately in two different colours4 ,it may be as well to observe1 that the plain line on either side of the scroll1 as shown in this1 as in many other patterns1 may be advantageously omitted4 ,it has therefore not been noticed in the preceding directions4 ,a useful ,sprig ,pattern4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #ci4 ,the above sprig pattern will be found useful for bags1 and a variety of other purposes4 ,it may be worked in two shades of green1 and three of pink1 as follows3-- ,first row--first stitch dark green2 second1 light green4 ,second row--one stitch light green3 two dark green2--two light green2 one dark green2--three dark green4 ,third row--two stitches light green2 three dark green2--two light green2 two dark green4 ,fourth row--three stitches light green2 two dark green2--two dark green4 ,fifth row--four stitches light green2 one dark green2--one dark green2--two dark green4 ,sixth row--dark green4 ,seventh row--three stitches dark pink2 one dark green2--one dark green2 two dark

fourteenth rows--light pink4 ,a ,carriage ,bag4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #dj4 ,the above pattern may be worked in ,german wool1 or crochet silk4 ,if an useful and durable bag be desired1 the following colours will be found to work well on a black ground4--,commence with a chain and two rows of black4 ,crochet the border pattern as follows3-- ,first row--one stitch scarlet2 four black2 two middle green2 three black2 one scarlet4--,repeat4 ,second row--three stitches scarlet2 two black2 two light green2 one black2 two lilac2 one black4--,repeat4 ,third row--one stitch black2 three scarlet2 four black2 two white2 one black4--,repeat4 ,fourth row--one stitch black2 three scarlet2 two black2 two lilac2 three black4--,repeat4 ,fifth row--two stitches black2 three scarlet2 one black2 two white2 one black2 two middle green4--,repeat4 ,sixth row--four stitches black2 two scarlet2 three black2 two light green4--,repeat4 ,crochet one plain row of black4 ,work the sprig pattern in the same colours as the border1--arranging them in the following order3 first row1--scarlet2 second1--middle green2 third1--light green2 fourth1--lilac2 fifth1--white4 ,if ,german wool be used1 the white may be worked with floss silk4 ,another ,table ,cover4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #da4 ,commence with a chain and one plain row of black4 ,work two plain rows of scarlet1 and in the next row1 commence the pattern of the first border in black4 ,the outer ground of the border is scarlet1--the inner ground of the border is white4 ,three wools are worked at the same time4 ,work one plain row of white between the two border patterns4 ,the second border pattern is in two shades of blue--the first two rows being on the former white ground1 the three last on the black ground1 which composes the centre4 ,commence the centre with1-- ,two plain rows of black4 ,then on the black ground1 commence the palm pattern as follows3-- ,first row--middle green4 ,second row--bright green4 ,third row--bright scarlet4 ,fourth row--scarlet1 the centre stitch white4 ,fifth row--three stitches blue2 two white2 two blue4 ,sixth row--blue4 ,seventh row--gold colour4 ,eighth row--yellow4 ,this pattern requires three different coloured wools in many of the rows4 ,it is very handsome4 ,the side border may be crocheted on4 ,six-thread fleecy1 and a steel needle1 should be used4 ,a ,brioche4 ,illustration ,a ,brioche 7so called from its resemblance in shape to the well known ,french cake of that name71 may be as easily worked in crochet as in knitting4 ,it may also be divided into stripes or compartments1 gradually decreasing in breadth towards the top or centre of the cushion1 in the same manner as in the knitted brioche4 ,various patterns may be introduced in these stripes1 but1 when a very soft cushion is desired1 this is not advisable1 as the extra wool1 then required to be carried through the work1 would render it of too firm a texture4 ,the following directions for working a brioche in crochet will be found very simple1 and1 at the same time1 serve as a guide for those of a more complicated nature4 ,commence with a chain of seventy stitches in eight-thread zephyr fleecy--black4 ,first row--black4 ,second row--gold colour4 ,third row--black4 ,the above three rows are all of an equal length4 ,then1 crochet fifteen rows in any pretty colour1 omitting four stitches at the end of the first1 and of each successive row1 so that in the last of these fifteen rows there will be only ten stitches4 ,repeat the row of black1 taking in each of the four stitches omitted at the ends of the last fifteen rows1 as also the four stitches at the top of the last row of black4 ,crochet one row of gold colour1 and one row of black1 as at the commencement1 when one compartment of the brioche will be completed1 forming a conical stripe4 ,repeat the fifteen rows1 omitting the four stitches at the end of each row1 as before directed2 and continue as above until sixteen similar compartments are worked2 this will be found sufficient for an ordinary-sized brioche4 ,the colours of the stripes may be varied1 thus1--blue1 brown1 scarlet1 and stone colour1 in their order of succession1 repeated four times1 will form a very pretty contrast1--the dividing stripe between each being formed of two rows of black1 with a row of gold between them4 ,either chin or ombr wool may also be employed4 ,when finished1 the brioche may be made up either entirely soft1 or with a stiff bottom of mill-board1 about six or eight inches in diameter1 covered with cloth or velvet4 ,the top should be drawn together1 and fastened in the centre1 either with a tuft of soft wool1 or with a cord and tassels1 as represented in the preceding engraving4 ,it should be stuffed with down or fine combed wool4 ,another ,bag in ,stripes4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #db4 ,the above pattern will be found very easy to work1 in perpendicular stripes1 for a bag1 the stripes being divided by two rows of treble open crochet in gold4 ,each side of the bag is formed of four stripes of the above pattern1 and five stripes of the treble open crochet2 but1 as the latter should form the outer edge at the side of the bag1 and cannot be worked without a foundation1 it will be necessary to begin with the figured stripe in silk1 and afterwards to open the treble open crochet in gold on either side of it4--,therefore1 ,commence with a chain in dark green netting silk4--,the number of stitches must depend on the size of the silk employed1 but a chain of about twelve inches in length will be found sufficient for a bag of this description4 ,the bag should be worked in one length4 ,first row--dark green4 ,second row--two stitches of ponceau1 and two of dark green1 alternately4 ,third row--ponceau4 ,in the fourth row the pattern commences with two colours1 the wave portion of the pattern being in dark green2 with the bell in a lighter shade of green2 the ground1 ponceau3 or1 the pattern may be worked in chin greens4 ,eight rows complete the pattern1 when a plain row of ponceau1 a row of two alternate stitches of ponceau and green1 and a plain row of green1 finish the stripe4 ,crochet two rows of treble open crochet in gold2 and commence again with the pattern in silk4 ,this bag when completed is about six inches square2 it should be hemmed at the top1 and lined1 and finished with strings and tassels4 ,the pattern ,no4 #bd1 is also equally adapted for a bag of this description2 but in the centre of the work the pattern should be reversed1 in order that when the two sides of the bag are folded together the pattern may run in the same direction1 as in the manner described for the bag at page #aac4 ,a similar ,bag4 ,a very easy but extremely elegant bag in perpendicular stripes may be made by commencing with-- ,chain and first row--scarlet4 ,second row--gold4 ,crochet eleven plain rows in scarlet4 ,fourteenth row--gold4 ,fifteenth row--scarlet4 ,on each side of the band thus made1 crochet two rows of treble open crochet in gold4 ,four plain scarlet stripes1 and five of the open crochet1 arranged as in the preceding example1 complete the bag4 ,a ,bag with ,five ,points4 ,commence with a chain of eight stitches3 having united the ends1 make every other stitch a treble increased stitch1--by crocheting three stitches in one loop4 ,continue to increase in a similar manner1 until twenty-eight rows be worked1 taking care that the increasing stitches be kept exactly over each other2 when a point in the centre1 and a point at the termination of each line of dividing stitches1 will be formed4 ,the remaining part of the bag is to be worked in rounds1 until it be of sufficient height4 ,the prettiest way of working this description of bag1 is with steel or gold beads4 ,the following pine pattern may be taken for the centre of each division of points4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #dc4 ,the upper part of the bag may be sem1 with a pattern composed of beads1 such as the following4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #dd4 ,the top may be finished with three plain rows of crochet2 or with any small border pattern in beads1 similar to those figured beneath3 but for this purpose there are several others1 in various parts of the book1 equally appropriate1 and that may be selected according to the taste of the worker4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #de4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #df4 ,a ,bag in ,treble open ,crochet4 ,this bag should be worked in one long piece1 and afterwards folded together1 so that the rows range perpendicularly2 in the same manner as that described at page #abc4 ,commence with a chain in ponceau4 ,first row--gold4 ,second row--deep blue4 ,third row--ponceau4 ,fourth row--deep blue4 ,fifth row--gold4 ,sixth row--ponceau4 ,seventh row--black4 ,eighth row--ponceau4 treble open crochet4 ,repeat from the first row1 until the bag be of a sufficient breadth4 ,patterns in open ,crochet4 ,open crochet1 as also double and treble open crochet1 have already been fully described 7see page #af74 ,the two following patterns are1 amongst numerous others of a like description1 merely variations of a similar kind of work3 ,illustration3 ,no4 #dg4 ,it is therefore unnecessary to enter into a detailed description of these1 as it would occupy too great a space1 and the engravings sufficiently explain themselves4 ,these patterns are useful for a variety of purposes1 particularly for working with cotton1 for tidies1 ,d',oyleys1 etc4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #dh4 ,a ,travelling ,bolster4 ,the two circular ends should be worked first4 ,commence with a chain of six stitches1 in black four-thread fleecy3 unite both ends1 and crochet all round1 increasing on every stitch for the first row4 ,the pattern is then to be worked in three shades of scarlet1 on a ground composed of three shades of green2 the darkest shade of the scarlet being on the lightest shade of the green4 ,second row--one stitch dark scarlet2 two light green4--,repeat4--,this forms the commencement of a star of six points4 ,third row--three stitches dark scarlet2 two light green4--,repeat4 ,fourth row--five stitches middle scarlet2 two light green4--,repeat4 ,fifth row--five stitches middle scarlet2 three middle green4--,repeat4 ,sixth row--three stitches light scarlet2 six middle green4--,repeat4 ,seventh row--one stitch light scarlet2 eight dark green4--,repeat4 ,eighth row--dark green4 ,two plain rows of black finish the end4 ,n4 ,b4 ,in every row1 increasing stitches are to be made in the green1 as also on the plain rows of black4 ,having finished the two ends1 make a chain of about sixteen inches in length1 in black2 and work the other part of the bolster as follows3-- ,first row--black4 ,second row--dark green4 ,third row--middle green4 ,fourth row--light green4 ,fifth row--white4 ,repeat the first four rows--reversed4 ,tenth and ,eleventh rows--scarlet4 ,twelfth row--commence a pattern1 by working alternately six stitches of scarlet and four of black4 ,thirteenth row--seven stitches scarlet 7a72 four yellow2 six scarlet4--,repeat from 7a74 ,fourteenth row--six stitches scarlet2 four black4--,repeat4 ,fifteenth row--seven stitches scarlet2 7b7 four light green2 six scarlet4--,repeat from 7b74 ,sixteenth and ,seventeenth rows--scarlet4 ,commence again as at first row2 and repeat1 until a piece be worked sufficiently long to go easily round the ends4 ,the bolster should be made up by stuffing it with down or soft wool4 ,a long crochet band1 worked similar to the green shaded stripe1 should be attached to either end1 with a small worsted tuft in the centre1 by way of ornament4 ,bags1 worked in a similar manner to the above1 are frequently made2 these1 however1 are not required to be so long4 ,they are fastened at the opening with strings or buttons4 ,they may be made with eight-thread zephyr fleecy4 ,a ,slipper in ,raised ,crochet4 ,raised1 or ribbed crochet has already been described at page #eg4 ,to work a slipper1 commence with a chain of seven stitches1 and crochet forty-six rows backwards and forwards1 observing to make three stitches in one loop in the centre stitch of each row4 ,this will make a sufficient increase in each succeeding row to form the front of the slipper1 and at the same time cause the ribbed rows to run in an uniform diagonal direction on either side4 ,having thus completed the front of the shoe1 crochet1 on the right-hand side1 a row of twenty-six stitches1 and work a sufficient number of rows 7about ninety7 to form the back4 ,the end of this band is then to be sewn to the other side of the front4 ,the sole of the slipper may be made either of leather1 or of crochet in coarse wool2 the latter is most readily made by cutting the shape in stiff paper1 and then working it to the exact size4 ,the top of the slipper may be finished with an ermine trimming of worsted4 ,a ,half ,square ,shawl4 ,commence with a chain of nine hundred stitches in black eight-thread zephyr fleecy4 ,first row--black4 ,second and ,third rows--white4 ,crochet eleven rows1 alternately with black1 and any pretty chin wool4 ,fourteenth and ,fifteenth rows--white4 ,sixteenth and ,seventeenth rows--green4 ,crochet eleven rows1 alternately with scarlet1 and any bright chin wool4 ,twenty-ninth and ,thirtieth rows--green4 ,thirty-first and ,thirty-second rows--black4 ,crochet eleven rows1 alternately with white1 and a chin wool4 ,forty-fourth and ,forty-fifth rows--black4 ,forty-sixth and ,forty-seventh rows--red4 ,crochet eleven rows1 alternately with green1 and a chin wool4 ,fifty-ninth and ,sixtieth rows--scarlet4 ,repeat from second row4 ,by omitting a stitch in the centre of each row1 the shawl will assume1 whilst working1 a pointed form1 similar to that of a half square1 at the same time that the rows of crochet will run in a diagonal direction from either side of the centre4 ,it may be trimmed with a black fringe of about four inches deep sewn on the two sides4 ,to form the striped pattern as above directed1 four chin wools1 of different colours1 should be employed4 ,a ,light ,shawl4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #di4 ,this is worked with ,german wool1 in open crochet stitch1 but without leaving a stitch between each1 as in the ordinary method4 ,chain and first row--claret4 ,second row--two stitches claret1 two blue1 alternately4 ,third row--blue4 ,crochet the above pattern in claret on the blue ground4 ,fifteenth row--blue4 ,sixteenth row--two stitches claret1 two blue1 alternately4 ,seventeenth row--claret4 ,repeat from first row4--,in the second stripe of the pattern1 deep gold colour should be used in place of the blue1 and black in place of the claret wool2 thus working1 alternately1 a stripe in each of the two colours4 ,border for a ,shawl4 ,this will form a good pine pattern for the border of a shawl1 in ,german wool on a black ground4 ,commence with chain and first row--deep gold colour4 ,second row--black4 ,then crochet the annexed pine on a black ground1 in the following colours4 ,illustration3 ,no4 #ej4 ,first row--imperial blue4 ,second row--lighter shade of blue4 ,third row--deep scarlet4 ,fourth row--bright scarlet4 ,fifth row--dark green4 ,sixth row--middle green4 ,seventh row--dark lilac4 ,eighth row--light lilac4 ,ninth and ,tenth rows--two shades of stone colour4 ,eleventh and ,twelfth rows--two shades of blue4 ,thirteenth and ,fourteenth rows--two shades of scarlet4 ,then1 work one plain row of black1 and one plain row of gold colour4 ,to form a point1 if it be intended for the border of a half square shawl1 omit a stitch in the centre of each row2--this1 if the size of the shawl has been determined upon1 previously to commencing the work1 may easily be done without interfering with the pattern1 as by calculating the number of stitches required1 a greater space of the ground where the stitches are to be omitted between the two centre pines may be allowed4 ,for a square shawl1 the border1 if preferred1 may be worked separately1 and afterwards sewn on4 ,,knitted ,,lace ,,edgings4 ,,index4 ,bonnet ,cap1 #aeg ,broad ,open ,lace1 #aeh ,brioche ,stitch1 #aeg ,double ,knitting for ,comforters1 c41 #aeh ,eyelet-,hole
