 TRODUeTiON. 
 
 CROCHETING is an occupation which is more or less of a pastime, though 
 its results are tangible, useful and ornamental. It possesses a peculiar fas- 
 cination for all those of the feminine world who are inclined to indulge in the 
 gentle tendencies of home-beautifying, and charms the child as well as the adult. 
 As an art it is as ancient as the everlasting hills, but it keeps pace with general 
 progress and affords many a dainty modern decoration varying in detail from the 
 simple to the elaborate. The average worker finds little difficulty in producinjT 
 simple designs, either by copying an example or from verbal or printed instructions. 
 But the more intricate patterns prove discouraging, generally from various imper- 
 fections; and the bewildered worker lays down her hook convinced that she "cannot 
 crochet from a direction," and afterwards abjures all such instructions. But she is 
 mistaken ; for with application on her part, and correct instructions to guide her 
 she will soon find herself able to reproduce any article described in detail, whether 
 illustrated or otherwise. 
 
 In preparing this pamphlet, it has been our object to provide a complete 
 work on the art of crochet-work, and to give clear, concise and accurate instruc- 
 tions for making the large number of articles illustrated and suggested therein. 
 We have devoted many months to this endeavor, in the belief that careful work 
 would remove the prejudice existing against printed instructions, which has been 
 established by the involved and ambiguous directions so long offered those who 
 are fond of the art of crocheting. 
 
 With a mastery of the terms and expressions given in this work on the 
 subject, no difficulty will be experienced in reproducing in substantial form any 
 of the many illustrations with which it is replete, or evolving in material form the 
 substance of the suggested articles. 
 
 That we offer lovers of crochet-work the most complete and accurate book 
 upon the art ever issued, will be at once understood from even a casual glance 
 at the following pages.

 ,^^HE alphabet of crochet-work consists of a few 
 foundation stitches by which every design 
 Typ must be constructed, just as words are formed 
 ^ of letters, and sentences of words. On the 
 following pages this alphabet is given, together with 
 many of its variations; and from it the inexjieri- 
 enced may easily and perfect- 
 ly learn the fascinatmg art 
 without other aid. The pati- 
 ence to learn properly, and 
 the ])erseverance to complete 
 what is begun, will develoj) 
 sur])rising results from this 
 charming occupation. This 
 alphabet is more generally 
 known under its usual appel- 
 lation of 
 
 STITCHES. 
 
 No. 1.— Loop fob 
 Chain- Stitch. 
 
 Of these there are compara- 
 tively few, and they may be, 
 therefore, easily mastered, as 
 they must be before a worker can expect to pro- 
 duce presentable articles in crochet. 
 The alpha of crochet-work is the 
 
 Chain Stitch. 
 
 The chain stitch is the basis of all crochet-work. 
 There is no design, however intricate and beautiful, 
 that does not largely depend upon this stitch and 
 its various modilications for its entire structure; 
 and once it can be made perfectly and easily, any 
 crocheted article may be produced with a smooth- 
 ness and finish only to be attained by evenly made 
 stitches. 
 
 The methods of beginning a chain are numerous, 
 and are varied according to the manner of holding 
 the thread or the proficiency of the worker; and 
 generally, if the method is awkward, it is the out- 
 come cither of intorrcct instruction or none at all. 
 
 ^>>-/ 
 
 No. 2.— Dbtail or Chain rtriTrii. 
 
 Some who crochet tic a single knot and draw a 
 loop through it for their first stitch; others pro- 
 duce the same result by making a twist of thread 
 in the left hand and with the hook in the right 
 
 drawing a loop through the twist, thus forming a 
 "slip-knot," as it is commonly called. 
 
 Engravings Nos. i, 2 and 3 seen on this page show 
 the twist and how to draw the loop through to form 
 a chain stitch. The twist of yam is formed and then 
 held by the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, 
 and the yarn is then arranged over the fingers by the 
 instructions given below before the hook is inserted 
 in the looj). When the latter is drawn taut, both 
 hands will be in proper position to go on with the 
 work at once. Or, the knot may be drawn taut 
 and the yam or thread then arranged as fol- 
 lows: Hold the work, as it progresses, between the 
 thumb and forefinger of the left hand (see No. 2), 
 with the the thread or yam passing otrr the first 
 finger, under the next two fingers, and oi'er or 
 lightly around the fourth or little finger, to produce 
 a sort of tension by which to tighten or loosen the 
 yarn according to the requirements of the work. 
 Hold the needle or hook in the right hand in much 
 
 Na 3. — Detail or Chain Stitcii. 
 
 the same position as a pen is properly held in writ- 
 ing. A strict observance of the methods of those 
 who crochet has ])roved that the majority of them 
 hold their work in this way. Exce|)t among the 
 children of the Fatherland, or those of Dutch- 
 American localities, the German method of holding 
 the yarn is not practiced. Nor among us generally 
 is the old-fashioned method of holding both hook 
 and yarn in the right hand indulged in, though 
 occasionably one meets with some one who has 
 in her youth "learned that way," and thinks it folly 
 to unlearn the old for a more modern and possibly, 
 in her case, no more rapid way. Having made the 
 slip-knot and arranged the yarn over the fingers 
 I)roperly, catch the yarn over the hook as seen in 
 figure No. J, and by a slight movement draw it 
 through the knot, slipping the latter off the hook 
 ns in figure No. 3. This movement repeated forms 
 the chain. 
 
 lo widen in plain crochet work, two stitches are 
 nude in the same place; and in narrowing a stitch 
 in the preceding row is skipped at the |K>int lo be 
 narrowed.
 
 THE ART OF CROCHETING. 
 
 Double Foundation, Made With Two 
 Threads. 
 
 No. 4. — Make a slip knot in each of two threads. 
 Pass both over the hook. Arrange one thread 
 
 and draw through both loops now on the ho**, 
 together ; then take up the first upper loop to the 
 left of the yarn, throw the thread over and draw 
 through both ioojis on the hook. Repeat until 
 the foundation is as long as required. 
 
 No. 4. — Double FonsDATios, ilADK with Two Tureads. 
 
 over the left hand in the usual way, and take 
 the other in the right with the hook, the same as in 
 knitting. Make the chain by using first one thread 
 and then the other, tightening the threads after 
 each stitch. 
 
 Slip Stitch. 
 
 No. 5 — After a foundation is made insert the 
 hook in each stitch and draw the thread through it 
 and loop on the hook together. 
 
 No. 0. — .Slip Stitch. 
 
 Double Crochet. 
 
 No. 6. — Throw the thread over the hook and 
 take up a loop through a stitch of the founda- 
 tion; throw the thread over again and draw through 
 two of the three loojis now on the hook; throw the 
 thread over once more, and draw through the two 
 remaining loops. Repeat in every stitch, or as often 
 as required by the pattern. 
 
 No. 7. — PorBLF. FOI'SBATIOJI, UAOE WITH OXE TBRBAD. 
 
 Double Foundation. 
 
 Make a chain of the length desired. Turn and 
 make a slip stitch in each stitch of the chain. 
 
 No. 8. — SiNQLE Crochet. 
 
 Single Crochet. 
 
 No. 8. — Draw a loop through a stitch of the 
 foundation; throw the thread over the hook 
 and draw through both loops on the hook at 
 
 No. G. — Double Ckochet. 
 
 Double Foundation, made with One Thrkad. 
 
 No. 7 — Make two chain stitches ; then draw a 
 loop through the first one ; throw the thread over 
 
 once. This is a good stitch for caps, hug-me-tight 
 jackets, hoods, sacks or any article requiring 
 close work.
 
 THE ART OF CROCHETING. 
 
 Half-Double Crochet. 
 
 Throw the thread over the hook and take up 
 a stitch of the foundation or work ; throw the 
 thread over again, and draw through all three

 loops on the hook together. Take up every stitch 
 in the same way. This also forms a good stitch 
 for any work reiiuiring a close ^effect. 
 
 Treble Crochet. 
 This stitch is made the same as double crochet, 
 
 rr^-K 
 
 No. 10.— Ll'WAKl>-CllAl.N I'ltVT Snu'ii. 
 
 except that the thread is thrown around the 
 hook twice before the foundation stitch is 
 taken up ; and in working off, the thread is 
 thrown over the hook three times, being drawn 
 through two stitches each time as before. 
 
 Picot Stitches. 
 
 In most fancy crochet work a pirot edge or 
 finish of some kind is generally use<l. Various 
 kinds are described throughout this Uiok, and 
 several s])ei.imens are illustrated on this page. 
 
 Plain Picot Stitch. 
 
 No. 9. — • Crochet four chain stitches; throw 
 the cotton over the hook, pass the hook down- 
 ward through the left half of the first chain 
 stitch, throw the cotton over and pull it through 
 the chain loop; throw the cotton again over the 
 
 hook and pass it through the first two 'oops on 
 the hook; throw the cotton again over the hook 
 and pass it through ihe two remaining loops. 
 
 The four chain stitches form the arch of the 
 pattern, or what is called the "picot." Repeat 
 from *. 
 
 Upward-Chain Picot Stitch. 
 
 No. 10. — Work one double crochet ; * seven chain 
 stitches, one single crochet in the second chain stitch 
 (see No. 10). Work one chain stitch, make one 
 double crochet in the fourth single crochet of the 
 last row worked. Repeat from *. 
 
 Lace Picot Stitch. 
 No. II. — This kind of picot stitch is in imitation 
 
 So. 11. — Lack Picot Stitch. 
 
 of woven lace and forms a pretty edge- 
 • Work one single crochet, making the 
 loop a little large. This loop is left as a 
 picot by drawing the hook from it and 
 passing the hook through the front of 
 the single crochet just made as seen in 
 the engraving; then throw the cotton over 
 the hook and draw it through; make one 
 single crochet. Repeat from *. 
 
 Downward-Chain Picot Stitch. 
 
 No. 12. — This stitch is worked in the 
 same way as No. 10, except that, after 
 the seventh chain stitch, the hook must 
 be drawn from the last loop and pas.sed through the 
 second looji of the chain ; then through the seventh 
 loop (see arrow) ; throw the cotton over the hook 
 and draw it through both loops on the hook. Re- 
 peat, as suggested in No. 10, for all the work.
 
 THE ART OF CROCHETING. 
 
 Cross-Treble Stitch with Details. 
 
 Nos. 13, 14 AND 15. — Make a chain as long as 
 desired. Throw the yarn o%-er the hook twice, 
 take up the .second chain stitch back of the 
 hook on whicli there will now be four stitches; 
 throw the yarn over 
 and draw through two 
 stitches ; throw it over 
 again and take up the 
 second chain stitch 
 beyond the one first 
 taken up. Five stitches 
 will now be on the 
 hook. Put the yarn 
 over and draw through 
 two of tht-m, over again 
 and through two more, 
 over again and through 
 two more, over again 
 and through the last 
 
 two. Now make one chain, and a double cro- 
 chet in the two loops indicated by the curved 
 arrow at No. 14. Begin the ne.xt cross the same 
 as the first, thus : Throw the yarn over twice 
 and take up the second chain stitch from the 
 last one taken up (see No. 15), and repeat all the 
 other details just given. 
 
 Tricot Stitch. (Also Known as Afghan 
 Stitch.) 
 
 No. 16. — Time seems in no way to decrease 
 the popularity of this stitch, probably on account 
 of its general usefulness. In making it a hook 
 long enough to accommodate at one time all the 
 stitches required for the width of the work must be 
 used, and it must be of one size from hook to tip. 
 In making large articles the work must be done in 
 strips, blocks or sections, to be sewed or crocheted 
 together when all are 
 completed. 
 
 Make a foundation 
 chain of the length re- 
 quired. Put the hook 
 through the next to the 
 last chain stitch and 
 draw a loop through, 
 leaving it on the nee- 
 dle ; take up all the 
 stitches in the same 
 way; then put the yam 
 over and draw through 
 two loops; over again 
 and through two more, 
 and so on until all the 
 
 loops have been used. The loops thus worked 
 off will look like upright stitches along the 
 •work. Take up each of these upright stitches 
 and draw a loop through it, leaving each loop 
 on the hook; then work back as in the other 
 row. Carefully count the stitches on the hook 
 now and then, so that they will not be uninten- 
 
 No. 13.— Ckoss Treble Stitch. 
 
 tionally decreased or increased, as sometimes the 
 edge stitches seem confused and may accidentally 
 be omitted or taken up twice. 
 
 As a rule, the widenings and narrowings in this 
 stitch are made at the sides, though in sacks or 
 other garments widenings are made wherever re- 
 required. Taking up 
 two stitches together 
 will narrow the work. 
 It may be widened 
 at either or each side 
 by throwing the thread 
 over the hook before 
 picking up a loop. 
 
 Working forward 
 and then backward 
 once is considered 
 one row in tricot. 
 
 Work made by the 
 tricot stitch is often 
 embroidered in cross- 
 stitch designs like those made on canvas. 
 
 Tricot Stitch, in Imitation of Knitting. 
 Begin as for regular tricot and work back; 
 
 No. 15. — Detail of Choss-Tiieble Stitch. 
 
 Xo. M. — Detail of Ckoss Tueule iiiTciL 
 
 then in every row worked forward, take the loops 
 up from the back of the work instead of in the 
 
 usual way. Work back 
 as in ordinary tricot. 
 The effect will be al- 
 most identical with 
 that of plain back-and- 
 forth knitting. 
 
 This stitch is effect- 
 ive in caps, sacks, hug- 
 me-tights, shawls, or 
 any article of wear of a 
 similar character. Cro- 
 cheted in stripes of 
 blue and gray or crim- 
 son and black, it is very 
 pretty for a three-cor- 
 nered shawl. It may 
 also be alternated in rows with plain tricot ; or it 
 may be so arranged that a block-work design 
 in the two tricots may be developed in 
 either one or two colors. An afghan, rug 
 or slumber-robe made in this way is a com- 
 fortable and pretty addition to the belongings 
 of a baby or to those of an adult.
 
 THE ART OF CROCHETING. 
 
 Knot Stitch. 
 
 Basket Tricot. 
 
 No. 17. — This is a very pretty stitch for tidies, 
 scarf and tie ends, fascina- 
 tors, breakfast caps, fichus, 
 etc., etc., and may be made 
 of cotton, linen, silk or wool. 
 
 Make one chain stitch, 
 draw the loop up a quarter 
 of an inch, catch the thread 
 and pull through; then put 
 the hook between the drawn 
 loop and the thread just 
 pulled through, catch the 
 thread and draw through 
 again, thus making two 
 stitches on the hook; catch 
 the thread draw through 
 these two stitches to form 
 the knot. Make a chain of 
 these knots as long as de- 
 sired. Turn and catch in 
 the center of the third knot 
 from the end; * then make 
 a single crochet between the 
 
 threads next to the knot; then two knots, skip 
 one and catch in the next, and repeat from * 
 across the row. Turn. .Make two knots, catch 
 in the first knot from the edge, one single crochet 
 between the threads next the krnjt; two knots, 
 skip one and catch in the next as before, and so 
 on throughout the work. 
 
 Unbleached or ^cru crochet cotton makes very 
 ])rctty knot-stitch work to use upon scrim or pon- 
 gfc of the same tint. 
 
 Douiii E Faced Stitch. 
 
 First raiu. — Make a chain of the length re- 
 quired. Make four double 
 crochets in the fourth stitch 
 from the hook; then insert 
 the hook into the fourth 
 stitch from the one used for 
 the double crochets and 
 make a single crochet; then 
 make a chain of three stitch- 
 es: in the same stitch make 
 three double crochets; re- 
 peat these details to the end 
 of the row. 
 
 Second rcnc. — Join the 
 other color and turn. Make 
 a chain of three, and a dus- 
 ter of three double crochet-^ 
 in the single crochet ju>i 
 made; then make a singl' 
 crochet in the next singl. 
 crochet of the row last 
 made, passing the shell thus 
 formed ba< k of the one 
 under it ; make a chain of 
 
 three anil the three double crochets, the same 
 as in the first shell, and repeat all the details to 
 the end of the row. 
 
 No. Ifi. — TRlCdT Stitch. (Ai.sn Known as 
 Afoiun Stitch.) 
 
 No. 18. — In this pattern, working forward and 
 back once, is considered 
 one row. Make a chain 
 of the required length, 
 using an even number of 
 stitches. 
 
 Fint rmc. — Take up the 
 first stitch and draw a loop 
 through it ; make one chain 
 through the loop. Take up 
 the remaining stitches of the 
 chain in the same way. In 
 working back in the first 
 row, make four chain stitch- 
 es ; drop the end stitch and 
 the next stitch on the hook 
 also ; then take up the end 
 stitch, j)ut the wool around 
 the hook and draw a loop 
 through the end stitch and 
 the next stitch on the hook ; 
 make three chain stitches, 
 and droj) the end stitch and 
 
 the next one on 
 the hook as be- 
 fore. Work off 
 all the stitches in 
 this way drawing 
 the last chain 
 stitch through 
 the last stitch on 
 the hook.

 THE ART OF CROCHETING. 
 
 HoL^jw Pi'FK Stitch. (Single Crochet.) 
 
 No. 19, — The work in this stitch must nil he 
 done on the right side and through the hack of the 
 stitches. 
 
 First rcnv. — Make a chain of the length reiiuircd; 
 make a single crochet in 
 each stitch of the chain and 
 break off the wool. 
 
 Second rifji'. — Single cro- 
 chet. 
 
 Third rmc. — Begin at 
 the right hand edge of the 
 work and make one chain ; 
 make five single crochets 
 in the second row; throw 
 the yarn over the hook, 
 push the hook up under 
 the lower front jiart of 
 the sixth stitch in the first 
 row, and bring a loo|) down 
 through it ; throw the yarn 
 over the hook and draw 
 through two stitches, leaving the stitch drawn from 
 the last single crochet, on the hook; throw the yarn 
 over the hook and draw a loop down through as 
 before ; then throw the yarn over, work through 
 two stitches, over again and through two more 
 stitches, thus making a double crochet ; make three 
 more double crochets in the same stitch, always 
 leaving the stitch drawn from the single crochet, on 
 the hook. Throw the thread over and draw 
 through the single crochet stitch and the other 
 one on the hook. Omit, or pass the stitch under 
 the puff ; begin with the one next to it and 
 make five single crochets ; then begin the next 
 puff and finish it the same as the preceding one. 
 
 Fourth ro-iLK — AVork 
 a plain single crochet 
 in the back part of 
 every stitch (except 
 those of the puff), 
 in the row last made. 
 
 Fitfh ri>?i'.^Make 
 single crochets and 
 puff stitches the same 
 as in the third row, ar- 
 ranging them so that 
 the puffs will alternate 
 as seen in the en- 
 graving. 
 
 Six-Star Stitch. 
 
 Make a chain of the 
 length required; draw 
 up a loop through each 
 of five successive 
 stitches; throw the No. 20.- 
 yarn over and draw it 
 
 through all the stitches on the hook, closing the clus- 
 ter with a slip stitch; draw a looj) up through the eye 
 formed by the slip stitch; draw a loop up through 
 the back part of the last upright stitch of the star 
 just made; draw a loop up through each of the next 
 
 break off

 three stitches; this will leave six stitches or loops 
 on the hook; draw through these and close as m 
 the ])receding star. Repeat to end of chain and 
 the yarn. 
 
 the yarn through the outer 
 made and make a chain of 
 three; throw the yarn over 
 the hook, and bring up 
 a loop through the same 
 stitch. (The yarn is 
 thrown over the hook only 
 for the first stitch at the 
 hci^iiniing of each rtric.) 
 Now take uj) three stitches, 
 drawing the last loop up 
 through the first stitch 
 beyond the first eye. (If 
 care is taken to have the 
 last loop of every star, and 
 the one at the last looj) at 
 the end of every row, each 
 drawn up through the 
 first stitch beyond an eye, 
 the work will always come out even.) 
 
 Repeat these details until the work is of the 
 dimensions required. 
 
 Five-Star Stitch. 
 
 This stitch is made the same as the Six-Star, 
 except that only five stitches are taken up, and the 
 last one is drawn up through the eye of the star 
 under it, instead of the next stitch beyond the eye. 
 
 Fancy Tricot. 
 
 To make this stitch effective it should be worked 
 
 with fine wool and a 
 large hook. 
 
 First row. — Make 
 a foundation row of 
 ordinary tricot. 
 
 Second row. — In 
 picking up the 
 stitches put the hook 
 between the two up- 
 right loops that look 
 like a i)lain knitting 
 stitch, push it through 
 to the back of the 
 work, and draw a 
 loop through ; take 
 up all the loops in 
 the same way to the 
 end of the row. 
 
 Third row. — Work 
 back as in plain or 
 ordinary tricot. 
 
 Follow these de- 
 
 If the wool used 
 is completed stretch 
 It out on a board or table, wet it, and, placing 
 a thin piece of muslin over it, press it to draw 
 it into the right position.

 Wo. 21. — Make a chain as long as desired, and 
 then make three double crochets in the third 
 stitch from the hook, and make a single crochet 
 in the third stitch from the double crochets to 
 fasten the shell in 
 place. Now make a 
 chain of three stitches, 
 and then three double 
 crochets in the same 
 stitch with the single 
 crochet, and fasten the 
 shell as before with a 
 single crochet in the 
 third stitch frorh the 
 shell, and so continue 
 to the end of the chain. 
 Turn the work, make

 ing to the star and dot 
 in the engraving. 
 
 The first dark loop 
 
 is formed in passing 
 
 the hook through the 
 
 loop, just between the 
 
 light stitch and the 
 
 first dark stitch of the 
 
 preceding row. The 
 
 star in the illustration 
 
 shows where the hook passes to take up the second 
 
 dai^ loop. The dot shows where the hook passes 
 
 to form the third dark loop. 
 
 Fourth roiv. — Work in the same manner as the 
 second row. 
 
 Repeat these details for all the work. 
 
 Seed Tricot. 
 
 First raiv. — Make a chain of the length desired. 
 Draw a loop through the second chain stitch; throw 
 the yarn over the hook, and draw another loop in 
 the same stitch, thus 
 making three loops in 
 one stitch. Repeat to the 
 end of the chain, taking 
 up a single stitch at this 
 end in every row worked 
 toward the left. In work-

 THE ART OF CROCHETING. 
 
 Double Shei.i, Stitch. 
 
 Fanxy Raised Spot Stitch. 
 
 This design must all be done on one side, there- 
 fore it will 1)6 necessary to begin each row at the 
 right-side edge. 
 
 Make a chain of the desired length. In the 
 fourth stitch of the chain make nine double cro- 
 chets, drawing the yarn through loosely; skip three 
 stitches and take up the fourth with a single crochet, 
 to form a shell. Skip another three stitches and 
 make nine more double crochets in the fourth stitch 
 from the last single crochet, fastening this shell the 
 same as the fust one, in the next fourth stitch. Con- 
 tinue this the entire length of the chain. 
 
 SeconJ rinu. — Fasten the yarn in the first stitch of 
 the shell first made. Throw the yarn over the hook 
 and i)ut the hook through the stitch where the yarn 
 is fastened and draw a loop through loosely ; throw 
 the yarn over and draw through similarly again, and 
 so as to leave but one loop on the hook ; throw the 
 yarn over aiid take up the second stitch ; yarn over 
 again and through two. Take up the following 
 stitches in the same way, until there are five loops on 
 the hook. Throw the yarn over and draw a loop 
 through all five of the loops at once, and close 
 the group with a slip stitch, thus forming an eye. 
 Make a chain of three stitches and fasten it to the 
 middle of the first shell in the first row by a sin- 
 gle crochet. Throw the thread over and make ten 
 stitches like the group of five first completed, clos- 
 ing the group in the same way. Make a chain of 
 three, and fasten it by a single crochet in the mid- 
 dle of the second shell of the first row. Put the 
 thread over and take up the stitch ne.\t to the single 
 crochet, yarn over and through two; repeat till ten 
 stitches are again on the hcok. Close the group as 
 before and continue in the same way across the row, 
 ending with a cluster of five to keep the edge even. 
 
 Third rtrn.'. — Fasten the yarn in the eye of the 
 first half-group of stitches in the second row, and 
 make three chain ; make four double crochets in 
 this same eye, and fasten the last one by a single 
 crochet to the first single crochet in the second 
 row. Make nine double crochets in the next eye 
 of the second row, fastening the last double crochet 
 by a single one in the next single crochet of the 
 second row. (This will bring the centers of the 
 shells together in one eye.) Repeat to the end of 
 the row, where make five double crochets in the 
 last eye. 
 
 Fourth row. — Fasten the yarn in the top of the 
 chain of three at the beginning of the third row. 
 Then take up the shell stitches in groups of ten 
 according to directions given for making the sec- 
 ond row, finishing with a chain of three fastened at 
 the edge. 
 
 Fifth ro7L-. — Fasten the yarn in the outer corner 
 of the scollop beginning the fourth row ; make nine 
 double crochets in the first eye of the fourth row, 
 and fasten the last one in the first single crochet of 
 the same row. Repeat across the row. 
 
 Sixth row. — Same as second row. Repeat these 
 details for all of the rows, being careful to have the 
 side edges even in effect and outline. 
 
 This is a pretty stitch for afghans, and is usually 
 made in stripes of two or more colors. 
 
 The foundation is done in a fancy stitch, and 
 upon it as the work progresses, puffs of treble cro- 
 chet are made. Make a chain as long as you wish 
 the strip to be wide. 
 
 First ro-u'. — Draw up a loop through the second 
 chain stitch, skip one chain and draw up a loop 
 through the next one; throw the thread over, 
 draw through three, and make one chain; draw up 
 a loop through the last chain stitch taken up, skip 
 one chain, draw up a loop through the next one, 
 throw the thread over and draw tli rough three and 
 make one chain; repeat these details until the chain 
 is taken up. Begin every row at the right side edge 
 of the work. 
 
 SironJ row. — Draw up a loop through the top of 
 the first stitch, throw the yarn over the hook and 
 draw up another loop through the top of the stitch 
 that draws the cluster in the |)receding row together; 
 throw the thread over and draw through three and 
 make one chain stitch. * Draw a loop through the 
 top of the next stitch, and one through the top of 
 the stitch which draws the cluster together; throw 
 the yarn over the hook, draw through three, and 
 make one chain stitch; rep#at from * to the end of 
 work. 
 
 Third rorv. — Draw up a loop through the top of 
 the first stitch of the second row, make one chain 
 and draw another loop through the same stitch; draw 
 a looj) through the toj) of the stitches drawn together, 
 * throw the thread over and draw tlirough three. 
 Throw the thread over twice and draw a loop 
 through the two stitches in the first row that are 
 directly under the stitch that is on the needle; throw 
 the thread over and draw through two, and then 
 over and through two more; repeat twice from *, 
 thus making three treble crochets through the loops 
 in the first row; then throw the thread over and draw 
 through the four loops on the needle. Draw a loop 
 through the next to the last stitch crocheted before 
 making the puff, draw another through the top of 
 the stitches drawn together, throw the thread over 
 and draw through three. Make three of the foun- 
 dation stitches, and for the next puff repeat details 
 just given. 
 
 Begin the rows so as to bring the puffs, which are 
 made in every third row, alternately, the same as 
 seen in the illustrated stitches of a similar kind. 
 
 Fancy Tricot. 
 
 Make a row of plain tricot. 
 
 First ro7i'. — Throw the yarn over the hook. 
 Push the hook through the space between the first 
 two upright stitches and into the chain at the top, 
 and draw a loop through ; throw the wool over the 
 hook and draw through two loops, leaving the 
 remaining loops on the hook. Repeat to the end 
 of the row. 
 
 Second row. — Work back as in regular tricot. 
 
 These two rows comprise the details of the work.

 Melon Puff Stitch. 
 
 Make a foundation chain of the desired length. 
 Throw the wool over the hook and pick up a loop 
 through the fifth stitch from the hook; repeat twice 
 more in the same stitch, then throw the yarn over 
 the hook and draw through all the loops on the 
 hook except the last one ; throw thread over and 
 draw through the two loops left. .Make one chain 
 stitch, skip one stitch, and make another puff in 
 the next stitch. Repeat across the row. Turn, 
 make two chain and then a puff in every space 
 with one chain between, making the last puff in 
 the chain at the end of every row. 
 
 The puff may be made as full as desired by pick- 
 ing up as many loops through the space as seems 
 necessary to the thickness required.

 and draw a loop through each of them except the 
 last one made ; skip two stitches of the foundation 
 chain and take up the next one, and then draw 
 through all the loojjs on the hook together. Repeat 
 to the end of the chain. 
 
 Second row. — Begin at the right hand edge and 
 *draw up a loop between two scollops ; make a

 second row ; throw the yarn over and draw through 
 two loops to form a double crochet; throw the yarn 
 over and work two more <!ouble crochets, and draw 
 a loop through all four loops now on the hook 
 This will make the raised spot. I'ass the stitch of

 THE ART OF CROCHETING. 
 
 Fancy Tricot. 
 
 M.ike a chain as long as is necessary for the 
 work desired. 
 
 First n>u.'. — Draw a loop through the fourth 
 chain stitch from the hook, and another loop 
 through this stitch, keeping the second loop on the 
 hook. Repeat this detail again in the same chain 
 stitch, insert the hook in the same stitch once 
 more, and draw a loop through ; this will make 
 three loops on the hook m addition to the one 
 which was there at the beginning. Throw the yarn 
 over the hook and draw a looj) through the "three 
 loops " mentioned, leaving it on the hook. Repeat 
 in every stitch of the row. 
 
 Second rcnv. — Work off as in plain tricot. 
 
 Third row. — Make two chain stitches, and work 
 the same as in the first row, but draw the loops 
 from under the upright loops instead of through the 
 chain above them. Work off as in the second row. 
 Repeat both rows until the work is of the size 
 required. Be careful to work two chain stitches at 
 the commencement of the rows, and make a group 
 of stitches at the left side edge through the upright 
 loops beyond the last group of the preceding row. 
 
 Fancy Tricot. 
 
 Make a chain of the required length using an 
 even number of stitches. 
 
 First rotci. — Take up the stitches as in ordinary 
 tricot. In working back make one chain, put the 
 yarn over and draw it through the chain and the 
 first stitch on the hook ; make one chain and draw 
 it through the next two stitches on the hook. Re- 
 peat to the end of the row, drawing through the 
 single loop at the end, where but one is left after 
 slipping off the preceding two. 
 
 Second roii'. — Make one chain; draw a loop 
 through the first two upright stitches of the last 
 row ; draw a loop through the chain of the last row 
 and make one chain. Repeat to the end of the 
 row, picking up two stitches at the end, and finish- 
 ing the row by drawing a loop through the chain 
 stitch of the preceding row. In working back, 
 make one chain and repeat the stitches the same 
 as in first row. 
 
 Fancy Tricot. 
 
 First roiLK — Make the foundation as in ordi- 
 nary tricot, e.xcept, when working back draw the 
 yarn through the first stitch, and then make a chain 
 stitch ; throw the yarn over the hook and draw 
 through the last chain and two other stitches at 
 once ; make one chain, throw the yarn over and 
 draw through the same as before. Repeat this to 
 the end of the row ; where one stitch is left at the 
 end of the row make one chain and draw through, 
 counting the chain stitch as one. 
 
 Second ro'v. — The upright loops are now grouped 
 in pairs. Raise the second loop of the first pair ; 
 then raise the first one, both in tricot style. This 
 will cause the stitches to cross each other when 
 worked off the hook. Take up all the upright 
 
 stitches in the same way, and work b.ick the same 
 as in the first row. 
 
 Repeat the rows until the article you are 
 making is as large as desired. 
 
 Knob Tricot. 
 
 Make one row of plain tricot. 
 
 Second ro7L'. — Pick uj) the stitches as in ordinary 
 tricot. In working back work through two loops 
 at once, and make a chain of three; throw the yarn 
 over the hook and work through the last chain and 
 the first upright loop on the hook; then work 
 through one more loop as in plain tricot; make a 
 chain of three and work through the ne.xt two 
 upright loops as before. Repeat to the end of the 
 row. Then pick up the stitches again as in plain 
 tricot. 
 
 In every other row begin to work back from the 
 left with a chain of three. In the alternate row draw 
 through two, and then make a chain. This will 
 bring the knobs in one row between those of the 
 rows next to it. 
 
 Pop-Corn Stitch. 
 
 Make a chain as long as required. 
 
 First row. — Make a single crochet in each stitch 
 of the chain. Then turn for the second row. 
 
 Second ro70. — Make a single crochet through the 
 top of the single crochet last made; make a double 
 crochet, putting the hook through from the bottom 
 of the lower horizontal loop of the next single cro- 
 chet, and pulling the wool up long; make a single 
 crochet through the top of the next single crochet; 
 and repeat the double and single crochets in this 
 way to the end. Turn. 
 
 Third roru. — Single crochet. 
 
 Repeat second and third rows throughout the 
 work, so that the puffs will come alternately. 
 
 Raised Puff Tricot. 
 
 Make two rows of ordinary tricot of the length 
 required. 
 
 Third roii'. — Take up three stitches in plain 
 tricot ; then throw the yarn over and draw a loop 
 up through the fourth stitch in the first row; throw 
 the yarn over and draw through two stitches, leav- 
 ing the last tricot stitch made on the hook ; throw 
 the yarn over the hook and draw a loop through as 
 before ; then throw the yarn over, work through 
 two stitches, over again and through two more, thus 
 making a double crochet ; make three more double 
 crochets in the same stitch, always leaving the last 
 tricot stitch made, on the hook. Omit, or pass the 
 stitch under the puff ; begin with the one next to it 
 and take up five tricot stitches ; then begin the 
 next puff and finish it the same as the preceding 
 one. Work back as in plain tricot. 
 
 Fourth row. — Make one row of plain tricot. 
 
 Fifth row. — Take up the tricot stitches, and 
 make the puff stitches the same as in the second 
 row, arranging the puffs so that they will alternate 
 as seen in illustrations of similar stitches.

 A code of abbreviations is generally adopted in 
 published instructions for crochet work, and often 
 proves a convenience where space is limited. For 
 the latter reason we give the one above, as it has 
 been necessary in a few instances, in preparing our 
 own book, to make use of abbreviations. We 
 have, however, avoided resorting to its use as far 
 as possible, in order that our instructions may 
 be as clear to the beginner as to the adept. A 
 reference to this code will render the abbreviated 
 instructions perfectly understandable, and easy to 
 follow. 
 
 Scroll Edging. 
 
 No. \.—To make the Scroll Work. — Make 
 lo chain and catch in the first stitch made, 
 to form a ring, in which make 
 20 single crochets ; make a chain

 crochets in the back parts of these stitches, making 
 2 in the i8th to form the point, and catching the 
 iast one with a slip stitch to the first one. 'I'urn 
 again and make one single crochet in each of the 
 first 2 stitches, 4 chain, put the hook through the 
 2 front threads of the last single crochet just 
 made, and make a single crochet ; this will form 
 the first picot. Form 12 similar picots and single 
 crochets, making 4 single crochets between the last 
 picots at each side of the point. Now fasten 
 the thread. Make one single crochet between the 
 2nd and 3rd picots from the top one, holding the ring 
 with the ribiied side toward you; make 10 chain, 
 catch it in the top picot with a single crochet, 10 
 more chain and catch between the 3rd and 4th

 crochets, and finish this half of the scollop to corre- 
 spond with the first half. In making the sections 
 join them at the lower picots of the scollops as seen 
 in the illustration. This completes one section of 
 the lower half of the edging. To make the section 
 for the upper half, follow the instructions just 
 given, except that you do not widen it in the i8th 
 stitch of the single crochets worked over the ring, 
 and that 2 single crochets only are made between 
 every two picots. In making the upper sections, 
 join them in the same manner as the lower ones, 
 and also join the 5 lower picots of the upper rings 
 
 to the 6 picots of the scollojjs of the lower sections, 
 as seen in the engraving.

 will be seen by referring to the picture and needs 
 no definite instructions. The foundation ring of 
 each scollop is made of 5 chain stitches and is 
 caught to the preceding scollop between the single 
 crochets as illustrated; then 7 single crochets are 
 made over the ring; then another 5 chain, and so 
 on throughout the work. The scollops may be made 
 of any size desired by increasing the number of 
 chain stitches and single crochets.

 by double crochets with chains of j between. 
 
 The small solid S(piares are each made with 4 
 de)ul)le crochets. 
 
 In turning at the limifr edge, for the three long 
 loops at each side of the point, make \i chain 
 stitches for each loop; then work the first thrtf of 
 the 4 following douhh croch»:;_' in the first Ihrte 
 stit<hi-s made, of the i-'-< nam. 
 
 To make the Spiders. — Working back from the 
 top in the third row after making the solid square, 
 make 4 chain, and a treble crochet between the solid 
 squares underneath, then 4 chain and another solid 
 square to begin the first spider. Returning, in the 
 fourth row, after making the solid sc|uares, make a 
 chain of 7 stitches, and 3 single crochets, putting one 
 of the singles into the treble crochet and one at each 
 side of it; then make 7 chain and a solid square. 
 Returning in the fifth row, make the solid 
 square, then 8 chain and 5 single crochets, mak- 
 ing 3 p^ them in the 3 underneath and one at 
 each side; then 8 chain, and the solid s<iuare. 
 To complete the centers of the spider: in the 
 sixth row there is a 7-chain at each side with 3 
 single crochets in the middle; and in the sev- 
 enth the 4-chain, the treble crochet and the 4- 
 chain are made to correspond with the third xo^. 
 The centers of all the spiders are made in the 
 same way, and the illustration shows exactly 
 where the others begin and how they are 
 made. 
 
 In turning at the lower edge at each side of 
 the middle spider, the edge-loop is formed of 
 5 chain stitches instead of 12 as at the side 
 above. This edging may be made of silk, wool, 
 cotton or linen thread in white or ^cru, and in 
 the latter tint forms a very handsome garniture 
 for gowns of wash fabrics. The sj.iders may 
 be made in one, two or three rows as desired, 
 or arranged to suit individual taste. This 
 variation will be found an easy matter by any 
 one at all ])roficient in crochet work. 
 
 At No. 29 (next pa^e) an illustration of inser- 
 tion may be seen, which is made after the same 
 details as those just given, and also shows how a 
 corner may be turned in it without disarranging 
 the design. The black line marks the place where 
 the work is continued from the side to form the 
 corner. This engraving also suggests a variation 
 in the arrangement of the spiders for an edgir-

 Corner in Insertion.

 the pattern perfectly plain, and no special details

 This lace is very popular for trimming fancy the work progresses, it must be pushed down 
 aprons, fine underwear, etc., and is also used for toward the round end of the pin; and when the 
 making morning caps, babies' afghans, children's latter is full, the work must be slipped off and a

 dresses, tidies, bonnet

 and, in fact, all dainty 
 articles for which it 
 seems appropriate. 
 When made of silk it 
 will form a beautiful 
 heading for fringe 
 that is tied in its 
 loops. 
 
 In making this lace, 
 cotton, linen or silk 
 thread may be used, 
 according to the ar- 
 ticle to be made or 
 decorated; and the pin 
 may be as fine or 
 coarse, as desired. 
 Hair-pins for this work 
 (see No. i) may be 
 purchased in various 
 sizes, and are all made 
 so strongly that the 
 
 prongs will not give or bend; and when an few strands replaced on the pin in order to con-

 No. 4 pictures the thread drawn through and

 the pin is turned from right to left so that the the 
 thread will wind around at the side, as shown at No. 5. 
 .After this turning, the movement given for No. 4 
 is repeated, and then the 
 pin is again turned and the 
 loops drawn through as be- 
 fore; and so on for all the 
 work, as seen at No. 6. 
 After turning it is always 
 the upper cross-thread at the 
 left side of the center under 
 which the hook is passed for 
 the ne.\t stitch. 
 
 The details just described 
 arc for single work; but No. 
 7 shows how ttoi' threads are 
 taken up after each turn to 
 make "(ioub'e work." When 
 the edj;e or work described 
 is desired heavier, as for 
 fringes, etc., the working 
 thread is generally used 
 double. 
 
 No. 8 gives a full site il- 
 lustration of how hair-pin 
 work appears upon the pin. 
 and No. 9 shows it com- 
 pleted. 
 
 Rows of this work are 
 often crocheted together for 
 an insertion, and the mcthinl 
 employed is plainly deline- 
 ated at No. 10. After the loop under which the 
 hook is reprc5cnte<l is dr.iwn through the Ump 
 .already on the hook, the loop represented by the

 to obviate the necessity for special illustrations. 
 
 At No. 13 the loops art- connected by two single 
 crochets in each loop, with single chain-stitches 
 between; after which a row of double crochets at 
 each side is made as illustrated. 
 
 No. 14 pictures an insertion made by joining two 
 rows, as represented, by chains of two stitches and 
 single crochets. The outside loops are connected 
 by a chain, over which single crochets are worked 
 as closely as necessary. 
 
 No. 15 shows a very handsome insertion, which 
 is also so perfectly pictured as to retiuire only gen- 
 eral instructions. The loops are crossed, and along 
 fuv sides of one strip and one side of the other the 
 pointed chains like those seen at the top are worked, 
 single crochets holding the loops. Then the re- 
 maining side is worked in similar chains, except 
 that at the middle stit< h these chains are caught 
 to the middle stitch of the chain opposite, on one 
 side of the other strij), in order to produce the dia- 
 mond effect seen in the engraving; then at each 
 side of this double strip a chain is made like the 
 one seen at the top. Lace to match this insertion 
 may be made by crocheting any pretty edge desired 
 along one side of a strip of the insertion; and the 
 same suggestion will apply to either of the narrow- 
 insertions illustrated above. 
 
 A very dainty edging for dressy toilettes, or for 
 handsome hats or bonnets, or one that may be used 
 for fancy work, may be made of silver or gilt thread 
 or fine cord, crocheted as illustrated at Nos. 8 and 
 9; and to make it very full, the thread selected, if 
 fine, may be used double instead of single. 
 
 Another use to which hair-pin work is put is for 
 
 fancy boxes or baskets. Macram^' cord is used 
 and the work is afterward stiffened with starch or 
 glue, the same as in macrami^ work, and when dry 
 it may be painted or gilded and lined with bright 
 
 or delicate satin or silk. 
 C^ollar and cuff 
 boxes made in this 
 manner are charming 
 accessories to a gen- 
 tleman's dressing table; 
 and a basket made to 
 match, for his brush 
 and comb, is another 
 pretty article that may 
 be made of gilded hair- 
 pin work. 
 
 In worsteds, some of 
 the prettiest novelties 
 in fascinators are made 
 of rows of hair-pin 
 work made of Shet- 
 land floss or Iceland 
 wool. Upon another 
 page of this pamphlet 
 among articles of wear 
 may be seen such a 
 fascinator, where in- 
 structions for making 
 it will also be found. 
 An afghan for an 
 infant's crib or carriage may be made of stripes of 
 hair-])in work done in coarse silk or soft wool in 
 white, blue or pink, or a combination of the white 
 with either of the other tints. Such an afghan 
 should be lined with silk, satteen or fine flanrn;l of a 
 pretty contrasting tint, and then a border of fringe, 
 or of hair-jiin lace may be added to complete it.

 the work at which it was commenced, and fasten 
 the thread in the first loop of the outer edge; make 
 I single crochet in every loop, with single chain- 
 stitches between the crochets to form picots. Work 
 in this manner until the loop opposite the fifth sec- 
 tion of the lower star in the first scollop is reached 
 (see illustration); then make 16 chain, catch in the 
 eleventh stitch to form a ring; 6 chain, skip 2 
 loops, catch in the next 2 loops together, and work 
 back as before, also catching in the ring; 6 chain, 
 skip 3, and catch in the next 2 together, and work 
 back as before; 10 chain, skip 3 loops, catch in the 
 next one; 6 chain, skip 2 loops, and catch in the 
 next one; 16 chain, catch in the eleventh for the 
 ring; 6 chain, skip 3 loops, catch in the next 2 
 together, and work back as before; 6 chain, skip 
 3 loops, catch in the next 2 together, and work 
 back as before; 6 chain, skip 4 loops, catch in 
 the next t/trte loops together, and work back as 
 before. 
 
 Fill in the rest of the space to correspond with 
 the first half of the work; then continue the picot 
 edge of single crochets and chains along the edge 
 of the next scollop to the next space, and repeat 
 the details just given for the edge and all the 
 spaces. This edging is very pretty made of colored 
 thread or cotton, for tidies or scarfs. 
 
 be very easily made by any one who masters the 
 instructions for making hair-pin lace. The engrav- 
 ings render special details unnecessary as they 
 perfectly delineate the method of making, shaping 
 and joining the sections for the skirt, waist, sleeves 
 and collar. The foundation lace is made over a 
 pin as large as may be desired, by the method 
 seen at No. 8. 
 
 For the skirt, the lace is formed into scollops by 
 joining the loops of one side by single crochets or 
 chains of one or two stitches made between the 
 clusters of loops taken up at a time. The outside 
 edge of each scollop consists of two rows of single 
 crochets, and a chain-picot edge which connects the 
 scollops at their sides after the plan illustrated at the 
 center of No. 15. The same princi|)le is applied in 
 joining the strips for the waist and adding the 
 sleeves; while the collar is also made to correspond 
 in its details with the scollops of the skirt. .\n 
 expert crocheter will be able to supply many indi- 
 vidual methods of joining the scollops and strips 
 which may be more desirable than the ones repre- 
 sented. The method employed is immaterial. 
 
 This little dress may be made of crochet silk, 
 < otton or linen thread in white or tints, and should 
 be worn over a slip of China or Surah silk of the 
 same or a contrasting color.

 No. 7. — Serpentine braid, No. 25, is used in 
 making this wheel, and the directions are for 
 braid of this size. In using finer or coarser braid, 
 the crocheter will be obliged to exercise her own 
 judgment in obtaining the effect represented, by 
 increasing or reducing the number of stitches at 
 various portions of the work. 
 
 For the Center. — Join a strip of braid in a circle 
 so that there will be 14 points. Make i half- 
 double crochet in every inner point of the circle 
 with I chain 
 between, and 
 fasten the last 
 chain to the 
 first half-dou-

 ing 7 in all; 
 fasten the last 
 point with a slip stitch and break the thread. 
 
 Now make i double rrothet in every outer 
 point of the circle, with 7 chain between, joining 
 the last chain to the first double crochet ; make 
 1 chain to bring the work up even, and then 
 make a single crochet in every stitch around the 
 circle, joining the last one to the first by a slip 
 stitch. 
 
 Now make 5 chain, skip 2 single cro< hets and 
 make i single in the next; repeat this around the 
 circle joining the last 5-(hain in the first smgle 
 crochet made; work with slip stitches to the center 
 of the first s-chain, and then make 2 rows of 5-chams, 
 
 and single crochets in the spaces underneath, around 
 the whole circle; work to the center of the last 
 5-chain in the second row with slip stitches. Now 
 make 2 chain; take the braid, make i single crochet 
 in 1 (or first) point, i chain, skip i stitch of last 
 row of 5-chains, make i double crochet in next 
 stitch, I chain, skip i, i double crochet in the 
 next, I chain, skip 1, i double in the next; 1 chain, 
 I single crochet in next |)oint of braid, * 1 
 chain, skip one of the s-chains underneath, make 
 I double in the next and repeat from * 4 
 times more. 
 
 Now make 3 chain, i half-double in each of 
 
 the next 5 
 points of the 
 braid; 2 chain 
 and join to 
 the first stitch 
 of the _^-rhain 
 just made; *

 all around the wheel, joining the wheels in any 
 form desired as the picots are made, as seen in the 
 illustration. 
 
 For the Ctnter of the Whfit. — Thread a coarse 
 needle with the cotton, and cross 
 the space from side to side 4 
 times to make the spokes seen. 
 At the 4th crossing bring the 
 cotton from the side to the cen- 
 ter and then dam around the 
 spokes over and under, once; 
 fasten the cotton opposite the 
 half-spoke and then carry it to 
 the side of the ring to complete 
 the spoke. This center is made 
 e.xactly like drawn-work wheels. 
 These wheels form a very 
 handsome flounce, panel, vest 
 collar and cuffs to a costume, 
 whether they are made of cotton 
 or silk. 
 
 Wheel for a Tidv. 
 
 No. II. — This wheel, as rep- 
 resented, is made of ecru crochet 
 cotton, but silk is very frequently 
 used for it. A number of wheels, 
 in fancy arrangements are let 
 into a scarf or tidy of scrim, or 
 Surah or China silk, and a heavy 
 fringe of the crochet silk is 
 added. The design for a scrim 
 
 silk cotton or linen, or of worsted, and 
 are very pretty for any of the purposes 
 named above. They are represented of 
 full size, and the section from which the 
 engraving was m.ide is made of ^cru 
 crochet cotton, about No. 40. 
 
 The foundation for each wheel is 
 made by first winding the cotton 24 times 
 around a smooth round stick or any 
 article that will make the diameter of the 
 winding about three-eighihs of an inch 
 across. Then over this winilinj,' or foun- 
 dation make 48 double crochets, joining 
 the last one to the first one with a slip 
 stitch. Then make 8 chain, ski|> 3 dou- 
 ble crochets and make i double in the 
 next one, 5 chain, skij) 3 doubles, i do\i- 
 ble in the next one, and so on around 
 the circle, joining the last chain to the 
 3rd stitch of the 8-chain. 
 
 Now make 3 chain, ski]) 2 stitches, 
 I double crochet in the next stitch; * 
 4 chain and catch in the top of the 
 double crochet and repeat twice more 
 from *, to form the i)icot; 3 chain, i 
 
 single crochet in the top of the double crochet scarf seen on page 59 rivcs a very pretty idea of 
 underneath, and repeat the 3-chains and picots how the wheels may be arranged.

 treble crochet in 
 
 To make a Wheel. — Make a chain of 5 and join 
 CO form a ring. Now make 5 chain to take tlie 
 place of a treble crochet, then i 
 the ring. Then make a roll- 
 stitch as follows: Wind the 
 thread over the hook 21 
 times, i)ick up a loop through 
 the ring, and draw the looji 
 through the 21 wind-overs, 
 on the hook; then bring the 
 thread up the side of the 
 roll and draw it through the 
 loop on the hook. Now 
 pick u]) a loop between 
 the roll and the long loose 
 thrtad, throw the thread 
 over and pick up another 
 loop through the same 
 place; then pick up a loop 
 through the ring; this will 
 make 5 loops on the hook; 
 thread over and work 
 through 2, through 2 more 
 and then through 3, which 
 will take the jjlace of i 
 treble crochet; make i 
 treble in the ring. Repeat 
 these details until there are 
 12 rolls separated by 2 
 trebles, joining the last roll 
 to the top of the first treble. 
 Ne.xt, make i single crochet 
 in every stitch around this 
 circle. 
 
 To make the Points. — 
 Make 7 chain, throw the 
 thread over the hook 3 
 times and pick up a loop 
 
 through the ist single crochet; work off 6 stitches, 
 2 at a time, leaving the last loop on the hook; repeat 
 twice more and then work off the 4 loops now on 
 the hook drawing through all of them at once. 
 Make 7 chain, and then i single crochet in the next 
 single crochet of the circle to complete the first 
 point; make 7 more points and fasten off the thread. 
 
 To make the Small Circles. — ^\'ind the thread 
 around a ])encil 24 times; then make 5 double cro- 
 chets over this ring; then * 5 chain, catch in the 
 last double and repeat twice more from *. Repeat 
 the 5 doubles and the picots around the ring and 
 join the circles to each other and to the points as 
 seen in the engraving, as the picots are made. 
 
 Wheel for a Tidy. 
 
 No. 12. — In making a tidy of these wheels, ar- 
 range them in any shape desired and use as many as 
 the shape selected will require. They are generally 
 made of two colors — one for the ribbon and one 
 for the Kensington crochet twine used for the edge. 
 
 To make the centers, cut the ribbon in strips, 
 each 7^ inches long; join the ends of the strips 
 neatly and gather one edge as seen in the picture. 
 
 Now at the outer edge of the rosette thus formed. 
 
 make 2>l single crochets with 1 chain between, .fas- 
 tening the last chain to the first single crochet. 
 Next make a chain of 5, and 1 double crochet in 
 
 No. 12. — Wheel fok .v Tihy. 
 
 the first space; skip i space and make 2 double 
 crochets with 3 chain between in the next space; 
 repeat double crochets and chains in every other 
 space, fastening the last double crochet to the 2nd 
 stitch of the 5-chain. 
 
 Now make 3 chain to take the place of i double 
 crochet, 1 double crochet in the 1st space made by 
 3-chain underneath, 2 chain, 2 double crochets in 
 the same space; repeat the 4 double crochets' and 
 2-chains in all of the similar spaces underneath, 
 and fasten the last double crochet with a slip stitch 
 to the top of the chain of 3. 
 
 Make 3 double crochets in the first space formed 
 by the 2-chain, 4 chain caught in the top of the 
 last double to form a picot, 3 more doubles in the 
 same space, i single crochet in the next space as 
 seen in the illustration; and repeat double crochets 
 and picots in all the similar spaces. 
 
 Crochet silk may be used in place of cotton for 
 the crochet work; and strips of silk, velvet, or lace 
 edging or insertion would form pretty rosettes in 
 place of the ribbon. 
 
 Individual taste must govern the combination of 
 colors for these wheels. A pretty effect is obtained 
 by using but one color, or two shades of one color, 
 instead of contrasting tints.

 these squares use heavy crochet cotton or very fine 
 macram^ cord. For a tidy, use fine crochet cotton 
 or thread as preferred. The engraving, No. 14, 
 illustrates one large square complete, show- 
 ing how the leaves are joined. To make a 
 cluster of leaves, (or a small square), begin 
 with I leaf as follows: Make a chain of 20. 
 In working back, skip i ch. St., then make 
 18 s. c. in the next 18 ch. st. on one side of 
 the chain; 3 s. c. in the end stitches. Then 16 
 single crochets in 16 loops on the other 
 edge of the chain. * i ch. stitch. Turn the 
 work. Going back on the preceding stitches, 
 make 17 s. c. in the back loojis of the next 
 17 stitches. All s. c. must be made by ]iass- 
 ing the hook in the back loo]3sof the stitch. 
 -Make 3 s. c. in the middle one of the l.i^t ; 
 s. c. coming together; 16 s. c. in the next 16 
 St. Repeat 6 times from *, and then roi)eat 
 once more until the 3 s. c. worked in i loo|), 
 have been reached; fasten the thread and 
 break it. Make the other three leaves in 
 the same manner. At the end of the 4th 
 leaf, in order to fasten the leaves together, 
 make i ch. St., and i sli]) st. in the stitch ot V 
 the next leaf. Repeat this 4 times. 
 
 Each rosette is worked as follows: Make 
 a chain of 4 and join with a slip stitch. 
 
 First roufiJ. — Make 2 s. c. in every ch. st. 
 
 Suoiuf rouiut. — Make 2 s. c. around 
 every s. c. of the last round.

 p. to the next p. of the next rosette. 
 
 Make 1 ch. st., i p., i ch., i s. c. in the fol- 
 lowing 4th stitch; 2 ch., i p., joining it to the 
 following p. of the same rosette. Repeat for 
 the other leaves from *, joining at every repe- 
 tition the third p. to the next |). of the same 
 rosette which has been joined last; and at 
 the last repetition, join the ninth p. to the last 
 p. of the rosette which was joined first. 
 In this way, one small sijuare is made. Each of

 When the required number of squares has been 
 worked, join them together alternately with single 
 crochets on the wrong side, in long strips. 
 
 Then make 3 rows of single crochet on each 
 edge of each strip. When this is done, join the 
 strips to each other on the wrong side. 
 
 Square for a Bed-Spread. 
 
 No. 24. — This square is very easily worked as 
 will be seen by closely inspecting the engraving. 
 It is made of Dexter cotton and is worked in 
 single anti double crochets, in the " relief stitch " 
 
 described at 
 No. 23, and 
 the open shell 
 or puff stitch 
 at No. 19 on 
 jjage 10. Be- 
 gin with a 
 chain of 44 
 and work back 
 and forth for 
 50 rows as di- 
 rected above 
 and below. 
 
 At each turn 
 make a single 
 chain stitch, 
 but do not 
 j)ick it up in 
 any of the 
 rows; it is 
 s i m ]) 1 y to 
 make an even 
 edge. 
 
 Make 3 sin- 
 gle crochets 
 between the 
 shells. 
 
 At the cen- 
 ter of the 
 square the 
 oi)enings seen 
 in the picture 
 are made with 
 chains of three 
 stitches each 
 at the points 
 indicated, sep- 
 arated by sin- 
 gle crochets as represented, and they are made when 
 the work is turned for the rows that bring the 
 wrong side of the sipiare next the worker. 
 
 When the 50 rows are completed, make a row 
 of single crochets around the square, and then a 
 row of double crochets, with single chain stitches 
 between, as seen in the engraving. \\'hen enough 
 squares are made, join them together with single 
 crochets, and then add a border of any of the 
 edgings illustrated in this book, or any other pat- 
 tern preferred. To carry out an idea of olden 
 days, fringe of the crochet cotton might be knot- 
 ted along the edges to finish the spread.

 Corner of Bf.u-spread or Counterpane. 
 No. 25. — This engraving shows a section of a 
 
 M' -;■. I ! ...1.1. 1,. BkD-SPREAD on ComTERPANE. 
 
 very handsome bed-spread or countcri)ane made of 
 Dexter cotton. The design for the l)locks is the 
 same as that seen on page 71, cxrcpt that there are 
 more puffs in each diamond and along the edges; 
 but the method of 
 making is the same. 
 Each block in the 
 counterpane is 
 also edged with a 
 row of doiil)Ie cro- 
 chets separated by 
 chains of i, before 
 the border to it is 
 added. Then, out- 
 side of the border, 
 enough of the 
 blocks have an 
 extra border to 
 produce the effect 
 seen in the picture 
 after the blocks 
 are joined. This 
 border consists of 
 an extra row of 
 puffs between two 
 rows of double 
 crochets and i- 
 chains. This extra 
 
 border is sometimes added to all the sides of r:*ry 
 other block, or to hvo sides of arn' block. When 
 the blocks are joined (by sewing them or by slip 
 
 stitches) another border (see top of border at No. 
 26.) is added, and then the scollops are made by the 
 directions given elsewhere on this page. 'I'he last 
 row of this outer border is single crochet. 
 
 Border eor a Bed-spread or Counterpane. 
 
 No. 26. — The border here illustrated has been 
 partly explained at No. 25, where the outside 
 border to the joined blocks was described. Kach 
 scollo]j is maiie separately as far as its picot edge, 
 the latter being added after all the scollops are 
 comjileted. It will be seen that eai h scollop covers 
 the sjiat c taken up by 15 double crochets with the 
 i-chains between; and to follow the method more 
 easily we suggest that the crocheter fasten her 
 cotton at the single crochet opposite the 8th 
 doulile, counting from the left-hand side of the 
 picture. Make a chain of 8 and catch it back in 
 the single crochet opposite the 6th double from the 
 end. Work back closely over the chain with single 
 crochets, and make 2 singles in the border-singles, 
 then I ch. and 9 doubles with i chain between in 
 the singles over the loop; 1 ch. and catch in singles 
 of border. Work back to the right of scollop in single 
 crochet, then to the left in single crochet and the 
 puffs, then to the right in single crochet alone, and 
 so on until there are 3 rows of puffs; always catch- 
 ing in the border-singles to hold the scollops 
 evenly, and widening at each side of the center to 
 keep them flat. Now work back to the right with 
 the doubles and i -chains, then to the left with i 
 single in every stitch, then to the right with 
 doubles and singles to form the scollops seen. 
 Fasten the thread, break it off and begin the next 
 scollop opposite the 8th double beyond the one at 
 the end of the first scollop. When all the scollops

 arc iiiade, add the picot edge by the mcthoil seen 
 in the engraving, making chains and singles around 
 the scollops, and singles over the chains.

 Design for a CofSTERPANE, Pillow-Sham, 
 
 SoFA-CrSHION OR A I.ARGF. TlDV. 
 
 No. 27. — This design may be crocheted of 
 cotton or linen thread, or of regular crochet cotton, 
 or of Dexter cotton. The article for which the 
 design is selected must decide the kind and tex- 
 ture of working material to be used. Unbleached 
 Madonna cotton or linen makes u]> beautifully into 
 tidies and cushion covers, and the lace seen at No. 
 28 is generally used as a border. In addition to 
 the assistance afforded by either engraving, very 
 few directions will be needed, as the pictures make 
 the method of the work very plain and easy to 
 
 cause it is not quite clear in the engraving. After 
 a row or two of the work is made, it will be an easy 
 matter to crochet the article of any size required, 
 as the counting of the chain stitches becomes me- 
 chanical and does not require very close attention. 
 A sofa-pillow or cushion, made of bright satin, 
 satteen, silk or silesia and then covered with a slip 
 crocheted in this design, is a comfortable and con- 
 venient article, as the slip may be laundered as 
 often as necessary, without injury.

 follow. The open work is all made with chains of 
 3, chains of 5, and single and double crochets, 
 worked back and forth. Where the solid double 
 crochets form the diamond design, a row of single 
 crochets and chains are made between them, the 
 solid row of single crochets coming at the points 
 indicated, in two of the blocks at the + +. This row 
 is necessary to the design, and is explained be- 
 
 method as that illustrated at No. 27, except that 
 the rows are w idened and narrowed as seen in the 
 picture, to produce the pointed effect. The comer 
 point is added after the rest of the border is com- 
 pleted, and may be worked from the illustration. 
 
 This border is also very handsome for any trim- 
 ming purposes, and may be made fine or coarse, or 
 of white or 6cru material, as preferred. Added to

 and upon scarfs and draperies it is equally pretty.' 
 
 Xo. 28. — Border for Desiun No. 
 
 (For Dlreclloiu iwv Ptg» 'li.) 
 
 An insertion to match may be easily made by mak- 
 ing a row of diamonds like those in the design at 
 No. 27, or the smaller ones seen in the points of 
 the border. A row of double cro- 
 chets may be added to the insertion 
 at each edge after the diamonds are 
 made; or an edge like that at the top 
 of the border may be added as the 
 insertion is being made.

 added after the cape is crocheted. 
 
 Begin at the top with a very 
 loose chain ahout 24 inches in 
 length. Turn, skip 6 stitches.make 
 2 double crochets drawn u|) long 
 in the 7th; 2 chain, skij) z, and 
 2 doubles in the next. Repeat 
 until there are 22 groups of the 
 doubles; 4 chain and catch in 
 the 2nd chain stitch from the 
 last group of doubles. Now in 
 every space make 4 double cro- 
 chets. Turn, make 3 chain: 3 
 doubles, I chain and 3 more 
 doubles in the middle of each 
 group of 4 doubles in the row just 
 made. Make 2 more similar rows. 
 
 The next 3 rows are made similarly except that 
 there are 4 doubles at each side of each single 
 chain stitch instead of the 3 in the last row. 
 
 The next 3 rows have 5 doubles at each side of 
 the chain stitch. 
 
 The next 3 rows have 6 at each side, and the 
 last 2 rows have 7 doubles at each side of the 
 chain stitch. 
 
 Now add the puffs as follows: Begin at the 
 bottom, catching in the space between the 1st and 
 2nd row of shells. Make a chain of 7 stitche.s, 
 * yarn over hook and draw up a long loop, yarn over, 
 draw through 2 on the hook, and rejieat 8 times 
 more from *; then draw through all the stitches on 
 the hook and close with a slip stitch; then fasten 
 the puff in the threads between the shells in the 
 next row above. Repeat the full length of the cape 
 graduating the puffs smaller toward the top. Make 
 the rows as illustrated. At the neck in every other 
 space make a shell formed of 8 double crochets 
 caught in the alternate spaces with single cro- 
 chets. To make the fringe, make chains of 25 
 stitches and catch in every stitch around the cape. 
 Run ribbon in the spaces as seen in the illustration. 
 
 Fascinator of Ice Wool. 
 
 No. 2. — This fascinator is made of Ice wool 
 (often called Iceland wool), and is very dainty, as 
 the glistening wool is almost as fine as thread, and 
 every stitch lies perfectly flat when made. 
 
 Crochet a chain for the longest edge of the fasci- 
 nator, making it as long as desired. Then work 
 back and forth with chains of 7 caught by single 
 crochets as seen in the picture, narrowing at the

 slip stitches as just described. Work in this manner 
 until the point is reached. 
 
 To extend or broaden tiie ends a section of the 
 chain-work may be crocheted on as seen in the 
 engraving. 
 
 The border is a chain-fringe made as follows: 
 Make chains of 20 stitches each, and catch in 
 every other stitch (or in every 3rd stitch if pre- 
 ferred) all around the edge. The chains may be 
 made Honger or shorter according to individual 
 taste, or, if preferred, a scollop-border may be 
 added. White, pale-blue and pale-pink are used 
 most generally for these fascinators.

 work after the method described in the department 
 for making hair-pin lace beginning on page 54, 
 using Shetland floss or Ice wool and a large sized 
 pin for the work. Make the strips of a length 
 which will correspond to that seen in the engrav- 
 ings, and then weave or crochet them together 
 their full length, after the method illustrated at 
 No. 10, on page 55. Then fold the joined strips 
 crosswise through the middle, and weave two of 
 the adjoining edges from the fold down to the neck, 
 to form the head portion. Gather the top across 
 the fold closely and cover the gathering with a 
 ribbon bow. Also gather the ends under ribbon 
 loops. Adjust the fascinator as seen in the engrav- 
 ings. White, pink and pale-blue are used for these 
 fascinators which are very dainty and pretty, espe- 
 cially when made of Ice wool. 
 
 A fascinator of this shape may be made by any 
 fancy stitch preferred, and edged with chain-fringe 
 over scollops. 
 
 Crochf.t Jacket.

 Nos. 6 AND 7. — This jacket is crocheted in a 
 spot stitch with dark-brown zephyr. Prepare a 
 stiff paper pattern according to the diagrams seen 
 at No. 7 on jjage 79, making the edges to measure 
 the number of inches indicated by the figures on 
 the diaf;rams. These figures indicate the number 
 of inches for each edge. Begin the fronts at the 
 lower back edge of the ])attern with a chain of the 
 length required, and crochet to and fro as follows: 
 
 Pirs/ nnu. — Skip i ; i single crochet in each of 
 the next 4; 4 chain for a spot; continue to repeat

 back and sleeves each in a single piece, beginning 
 at the lower edge. Overhand the back and front 
 together; join the sleeve seams, gather the tops, and 
 sew the sleeves in. Work a row of shp stitches all 
 around the jacket, working from the back. 
 
 For the Standing Collar. — Work 8 rows of the 
 spot stitch across the neck; at the beginning of 
 each row make i chain to turn and skip one stitch. 
 At the close of the 4th row, for a button-hole, in- 
 stead of the last 5 singles make 3 chain, skip 3, and 
 work 2 singles in the last 2. Along the neck and 
 fronts work a row of slip stitches, in the course of 
 which work 4 button-holes 
 in one front. Work an 
 edging of picots around 
 the neck and along the 
 fronts as far as the but- 
 tons extend; for this row 
 work by turns a single 
 crochet and a picot; for a 
 picot make 4 chain and a 
 single in the first of the 
 chain. Work scollops 
 around the lower edge and 
 the sleeves as follows: i 
 single crochet, 5 chain, 
 draw out the loop on the 
 needle rather long, 3 times 
 by turns put the wool 
 around the needle, and 
 take a loop of the same 
 length through the last of 
 the 5-chain; pull a loop 
 through all the loops and 
 put-overs on the needle, 
 make 5 chain, skiji 5, and 
 repeat. On this row of 
 scollops work another row 
 of the same, but transpose 
 the scollops by working 
 the single on the middle 
 oneof thes singlesskipped 
 in the last row; after mak- 
 ing the last 5-chain of each

 Circular "Cobweb" 
 Shawl. 
 
 (For Illnntrutlon ««o Pa({0 80.) 
 
 No. 8. — This shawl is 
 generally made of Shet- 
 
 land floss or Iceland wool in white or some delicate 
 tint, and is begun at the center. The work is clone 
 verv loosely with a coarse hook and the stitches 
 are' drawn out long. In making this shawl the 
 rows are worked in sroupi of double crmhcls. 
 The groups are singU, doubU and trrbU. A stngU 
 
 group is 9 double crochets separated into 3 groups

 Diagram for Zouave Jacket, or Hug- 
 Me-Tight. 
 
 No. 9. — A jaunty, snugly-fitting, sleeveless 
 jacket in the familiar zouave shape, but ordinarily 
 called a hug-me-tight, may be made after the fol- 
 lowing directions and the accompanying diagram. 
 It may be made of Germantown wool or single 
 
 let. It will be observed that the long narrow 
 (front) sections are a little more than one-third 
 the widtii of the other (back)section, and this pro- 
 portion must be maintained in making any size. 
 When a section like the diagram in shape has been 
 made of the proper size (for which see instructions

 rephyr in any pretty shade of red, brown, dark-

 found in the stitch department of this pamph-

 (For DlrecUoDB cee Page 79.) 
 
 below), the ends of the narrow sections are joined 
 to the sides of the wider one according to the 
 crosses, and the openings left above the joinings 
 form the arm-holes. \\"hen these joinings are made 
 (by a needle threaded with the wool, or by single 
 crochets or slip stitches), then crochet a neat shell 
 border about all the edges, fulling the edge of the 
 arm-hole in front of the arm, if necessary, to make 
 it fit in to the figure. A\'hen the jacket is adjusted, 
 the edge about the neck will roll prettily to the 
 closing, which is made with ribbon; and the 
 garment will fit smoothly over the bust and 
 back. 
 
 To crochet the garment of any size required: 
 Make a chain as long as you desire the back to 
 be, measuring from the neck to the bottom of 
 the waist. Work up and down in the stitch 
 selected until the back is as wide across the 
 shoulders as needed. Then, after the last row, 
 work l)ack a little more than one-third of the 
 length of the back (see diagram) for one narrow 
 section, and work the same as before across this 
 section, until the latter is long enough to extend 
 down over the bust and under the arm to the 
 back where the crosses are marked. Crochet 
 the other side to correspond, beginning at the 
 opposite side of the back, and then join the 
 edges according to the crosses, as before directed. 
 This is an easy jacket to make, and is very con- 
 venient to wear under street garments when extra 
 warmth is desired, or to wear about the house 
 over the dress waist when needed.

 wool preferred, and it may be made of the dimensions 
 here given or as much larger or smaller as desired. 
 The yoke and collar are worked in rib-style 
 but the cape is of a fancy stripe and is fulled on to 
 the yoke. The yoke is pointed front and back, is 
 4 inches wide at the shoulders, 17 inches around 
 the neck and 35 J^ inches around the lower e<lge. 
 It is begun at the neck edge with a chain of 85 
 stitches. No. 11 shows the method of making the 
 yoke, which is single crochet with the stitches 
 taken up through the backs of the stitches in the 
 preceding row; while to fill in the angle at the bac k 
 and shape the yoke to the neck, double and half- 
 double crochets are made as required, as seen in 
 the picture, an extra row or two of single crochets 
 being made across the yoke for this purpose; and 
 
 by 1 singles at each end of the rows; and, in turn- 
 ing at each end of each row, i chain should be 
 made. At the back of the yoke the widening is 
 made by 3 singles in every row in the middle 
 stitch. The lower edge and the edge of the ( ollar 
 are finished by a row of picots, made by any 
 method preferred. 
 
 The cullar consibts of 9 rows (4^^ ribs) of sin- 
 gle crochet. Button-holes arc made by crochet- 
 ing 3 chains instead of i when you turn to come 
 back, at regular inter\-als. 
 
 The cape-portion is also made in single crochet 
 alternating with single chains (as seen at No. 12.) 
 and is separated into stripes by making every 7th 
 and 8ih row in solid, single crochet. 'I'he stri|>es 
 of the cape and the ribs of the yoke may alternate 
 in color if desired, as shown in the engravings. 
 
 A picot edge is added to the bottom of the ca|»c- 
 portion, and is made as follows: * 5 chSin, i 
 double into the first one of the chain, i single into 
 the cape and repeat from *. 
 
 'I'he < ape-portion is 5^ inches deep at the front 
 edges, and of sufficient width at the back and

 these doubles and half-doubles are taken up similar I 
 to star stitch and are worked off at one time. I he 
 shaping of the front edges of the yoke will depend 
 upon the figure of the person who is to wear the 
 cape, and the rows should be wulcned as needcti.

 shoulders to make it of even depth all round. It is 
 therefore wiiU-ned as retpiired from the front to the 
 shoulders and from the latter to the middle of the 
 back. It must be ma<le wide enough around to 
 fall easily, and also to Ik- tjuite full over the top of 
 the shoulder where it joins the yoke, to which it is 
 elsewhere plainly sewed. 
 
 The colors prettiest for this ca|)c arc black with 
 red, blue, yellow, old rose or gray; or red, brown, 
 gray or blue in two shades. The buttons may be 
 moulds covered with silk or cashmere of the color 
 of the worsted.

 catch in the center of the next chain underneath, 
 and repeat for each of the next 3 chains; in this 
 last chain, make i chain-loop like those at the 
 corner. Repeat these details around the shawl, 
 making i chain-loop in every 4th chain underneath. 
 
 J^or the next rmv. — Fasten the wool in the ist 
 chain-loop of one corner and make 2 chain; then 
 wind the wool around the tip of the first finger 6 
 or 7 times, put the hook under the wind-overs on 
 the finger, throw the wool over and draw it 
 through the wind-overs and the loop on the hook, 
 thus securing the wind-overs in a loo]) by a single 
 stitch; make 2 chain, catch with a single crochet in 
 the next chain-loop at the corner; and then repeat 
 the 2 chains and the wind-over loop twice more. 
 Now make 3 chain and catch in the middle of the 
 next chain underneath, and repeat for the next 3 
 chains. Then make 2 chain, a wind-over loop, 2 
 chain and catch in the middle of chain-loop under- 
 neath; repeat 2 chains and wind-overs in the mid- 
 dle of the next 2-chains underneath. Repeat these 
 details around the entire shawl. 
 
 To make the ''Princess Feather" Border. — Make 
 enough hair-pin work of the wool, by the method 
 illustrated at No. 7 on page 55, to go around the 
 shawl about twice. Now catch the wool from the 
 ball in one of the wind-over loops; make 2 chain, 
 catch in 2 loops of the hair-pin work, 2 chain, and 
 
 catch 2 loops together, i chain and catch in the 
 middle of the 5-chain underneath, 2 chain, catch 
 the next 2 loops together, i chain and catch in the 
 middle of the next 5-chain, 2 chain and catch the 
 next 2 loops together, i chain and catch in the 
 middle of the 5-chain underneath; 2 chain and 
 catch the next 2 loojjs together, i chain and catch 
 in the middle wind-over loo]); 2 chain, catch the 
 next 2 hair-pin loops together, 2 chain and catch 
 in the next wind-over loop. Now catch the next 4 
 hair-pin loops to the chains underneath in a similar 
 manner to those just caught. Then repeat all these 
 details for every scollop around the shawl. 
 
 For the Outer Edge. — To fill in the hollow of a 
 scollop: Begin nearly ojjposite the jjoint where the 
 14 loops of the inner edge are caught together (see 
 illustration), by fastening the wool in a single hair- 
 pin loop; * make 5 chain and catch in the next 
 loop; repeat 3 times more from *; then 2 chain and 
 catch 14 loops together, i chain and catch in next 
 2 loops together; * 2 chain and catch in the middle 
 of the 5-chain underneath, 2 chain and catch in 
 next 2 loops of the hair-pin work, and repeat 3 
 times more from *; 2 chain and catch in the next 
 loop, * 3 chain and catch in ist to form a picot, i

 Ladies' House-Shawl. 
 
 (Nolllastratinn.) 
 
 A very pretty house-shawl may be made of cash- 
 mere, camel's-hair, chuddah cloth, wool crepon 
 or any similar material in white, pink, pale-blue, 
 gray or any tint preferred in the following manner: 
 
 Get as much material as will make the shawl 
 square, or as long as desired, and finish the edges 
 either with a feather-stitched hem or a row of close 
 single crochet stitches. Then crochet a border for 
 it like any of the borders given in this department, 
 or any other border preferred, using Ice wool, Shet- 
 land floss, split zephyr or any soft pretty wool. The

 No. 15. — In this skirt several colors are used. 
 The border may be made of different shades of one 
 color, or in the Roman style, with several colors. 
 The one illustrated is made of brown Gcrmantown 
 wool and has a border of Roman colors. 
 
 The skirt is worked round and round. Make 
 a chain as long as the skirt is to be wide at the bottom 
 and join it. Make 12 rows of 6-star stitch to form 
 the border, using red, green, sage, pink, blue and

 border may be crocheted into the hem if the shawl 
 is hemmed, or made sejjarately and over-handed on. 
 
 The advantage of croc heting it on is that a neater 
 corner may i)e thus olitained. When the edges are 
 finished with the single crochets, the border is always 
 crocheted on. 
 
 Chain-fringe, such as is described and illustrated 
 as finishing cai)es and a shawl seen elsewhere in this 
 department, would make a lovely finish for a shawl

 Crocheted Yoke. 
 
 No. i6. — A yoke like the illustration is preferable 
 to a band in several particulars. It shortens the 
 work and also prevents too much fulness around 
 the waist, while it is warmer than a band and more 
 comfortable, and is easily made larger or smaller. 
 It is begun at the bottom, and finished with scol- 
 lops, and has a chain-row at the top for an elastic 
 ribbon. The back edges of the yoke are strcngth-

 THE SKIRT. 
 
 In crocheting the skirt part, the back edges of 
 the yoke are first lapped three-quarters of an inch 
 over each other, and the stitches are to be taken up 
 twofold. Then begin to crochet the skirt portion 
 after any method preferred.

 worked in the middle 22 scollops, and each suc- 
 ceeding one of those mentioned is made 2 scollops 
 shorter, the 19th being worked only in the middle 
 14 scollops. 
 
 Fourth to Snrnth rows. — Like the 3rd, hut in 
 the 6th and 7th make 3 chain instead of 2. 
 
 Eighth row. — Make 2 doubles in the ist 2, then 
 by turns: 6 doubles, the middle 2 separated by 
 3 chain, around the 3 chain for the scollop, then 
 
 1 double in the mesh between the 4 doubles of this 
 scollop and the 4 doubles of the next; end with 
 
 2 doubles in the last 2. 
 
 Ninth to Twentieth rows. — Like the last, but 
 work the double bctiveen the scollops, in the 
 double between the scollops in the last row, and in 
 13th to I Sth rows work 8 doubles instead of 6, and 
 in the 19th and 20th, 10 doubles, with 3 chain 
 between the middle 2; in the 21st row (the last) 
 work for the scollop 10 doubles, with a picot be- 
 tween the 2nd and 3rd, 4th and 5th, 6th and 7th, 
 and Sth and 9th; (for a picot make 4 chain and a 
 single crochet in the ist of them), then make a 
 double in the ist double. Fasten off. 
 
 For the Neek. — Work a row of scollops into the 
 foundation chain at the neck from the wrong side. 
 Begin with a single in the first stitch; then 5 dou- 
 bles in the following 3rd, i single in the succeeding 
 2nd; repeat, but now and then work the single in 
 the succeeding 3rd. Bend this row of scollops down 
 on the outside, and into the stitches of the founda- 
 tion chain passed by in it, work as follows: 6 chain, 
 I treble around the 2 chain passed by, then by 
 turns: 1 chain, and i treble around the next 2 or 3 
 chain passed by. Through this a ribbon is drawn.

 Split zephyr or Shetland wool may also be used for 
 a shawl made like this, but the design is prettier for 
 Ice wool than cither of the others nametl. In making 
 it of Ice wool, crochet loosely or use a large hcM)k. 
 
 Begin at the center and make a chain ol 3 or 4 
 stitches and join for a ring; then make 4 ch.iin and 
 catch in the ist stitch of chain with 1 single cro- 
 chet; 4 chain and catih in 2nd stitch, ancl so on 
 until 4 similar chains arc made.

 The first row of stars made extends from point 
 to point of the fascinator. The succeeding row 
 must be begun far enough from the point to pre- 
 serve the tringular shape <jf the fascinator, and 
 this princijjle must be followed throughout the 
 work. This is left to the discretion of the maker. 
 
 For the Border. — Make 2 rows of stars accord-

 worked. (The last of these rows contains 56 
 stitches.) For each side, begin with 18 stitches 
 and narrow at the lop of each row by i stitch, until 
 there are only 4 stitches in a row; work these rows 
 until the slijiper is long enough and join at the 
 center of the back or at the side. Finish the edge 
 with scollops of the dark wool and fasten a pompon 
 on the instep as illustrated. Make a piece of loop-

 It is begun at the neck with a chain of 70 stitches. 
 Turn, and make a single crochet in each of the 
 stitches. Turn, make i chain, and single crochets 
 between those underneath. Turn, make i more 
 row like last. Turn again, make 3 chain, and 3 
 double crochets in the first space between the 
 single crochets ; make 2 chain, skip 3 single cro- 
 chets and make 3 doub'e crochets in the next 
 space. Repeat to the end of the row, making in 
 all 24 groups of 3 double crochets each for the first 
 row of shells. At the end of every row turn and 
 make 3 chain to begin the next row, and make 2 
 chain between all the shells in every row.

 center of the group of doubles underneath, i single 
 crochet in the space between the groups; repeat 
 to end of row. Turn, make 7 double crochets in 
 the center of the group underneath, and i single 
 crochet in the single crochet underneath; repeat 
 to end of row. Now fasten the wool at the end of 
 last row of single crochets at the neck; work toward 
 the collar, making i single crochet in every stitch 
 along the edge until you get to the top of the 
 second row of shells in the collar ; then make picots 
 along the edge of the last row of shells as fol- 
 lows: Make 1 single 
 crochet in every 
 double underneath 
 with 3 chain be- 
 tween, except at the 
 corners of the shells;

 Repeat these 2 rows until there arc 15 rows which 
 will form the toe of the slipper. 
 
 For the sides work back and forth in the same

 For the ui>per edge before the ruching is added, 
 make i row of single crochets, then i row of shells 
 made of (lusters of 3 double crocheta alternating 
 with single crochets. • 
 
 The ruching may \k crocheted or knitted. To 
 crochet it proceed a.s follows: Make a chain as long 
 as you want the ruching wide. Make single cro- 
 chets along it. Then wind the wool several times 
 about the first Tmger; pass the hook l)etween the 
 wind-overs and the finger and draw a loop through; 
 throw the wool over the hook and draw through the 
 two loops; still holding the wind-overs on the finger, 
 make a single crochet in the next cro<hct. Now 
 slip off the wind-overs and make another one by 
 the siimc detads. Repeat across the row. Now 
 make 1 chain and work back in single crochet. 
 Then make another row of wind-overs. Repeat 
 these rows for the length re()uired, joining the con- 
 trasting color at every 3rd row of wind-overs.

 This thick soft wool forms the chain-stitched lines 
 between the stripes, the spots on the narrow stripes 
 and a key ])attern on the wide stripes; also 
 the fringe knotted into the ends of the rug. 
 The narrow stripes are worked in jilain af- 
 uhan stitch on a foundation of 20 stitches 
 as follows: Make the chain, ski]) the last, and 
 take a loop through each of the rest, keeping 
 ihem all on tiie hook ; then work off the last 
 loop singly, and after that work oft two and 
 two to the beginning of the row ; in subse- 
 quent row stake up the loops through the per- 
 ])endicular meshes which lie on the surface 
 of the last row, instead of through the chain 
 stitches as in the first row. The wide stripes 
 are worked in a fancy stitch on a chain of 
 J5 stitches. To make them, begin each as 
 follows: 
 
 First rcnc. — Skij) i chain, take a loop 
 through the next, and work off together the 
 2 loojis now on the hook ; * take a loop 
 through that stitch through which the pre-

 No. 3.— This blanket is first worked in afgh.in 
 stitch in one color, and the spots are added after- 
 ward with a coarse needle. For each of the spots 
 work 3 horizontal stitches across 3 stitches of the 
 ground and bring the wool out underneath the 3 
 cross stitches at the middle of the hori/onlal space. 
 but I afghan-stitch higher than the lowermost of 
 the 3 stit. hes; take a crochet hook, shp it under 
 all the cross stitches and pull a loop up (this will 
 
 bind them at the center); now twice by turns put 
 the wool over and take a loop around the 3 stitches, 
 pull the wool through all the loops on the hook, 
 and then, with the aid of a needle, draw the thread 
 as shown in the illustration around the middle one 
 of the 3 afghan stitches, and through the loops 
 formed; then down to the back and fasten off. 
 
 Crocheted Rug. 
 
 iNo Uliutnuoo.) 
 
 Cut Strips of material from three-fourths of an 
 inch to one inch in width, according to thickness 
 (if silk, an inch and a half), and sew them together 
 in carpet-rag style. Take a very large crochet 
 needle, half the size of your little finger if you can 
 ])ur( hase one If not, one may be whittled out of 
 a stick. Make your rug round or oblong, as you 
 
 see fit, in single 
 crochet stitch, 
 adding stitches as 
 needed to keep 
 the work flat. 
 There can be no 
 rule, as the strips 
 are apt to vary in 
 thickness, and as 
 the work is quite 
 elastic it can often 
 be pulled into 
 shape. 
 
 Each row should 
 be finished off as 
 evenly as possible, 
 and the next com- 
 mcm ed in a new 
 place. 
 
 A pretty rug 
 has one row of 
 white; the second 
 is drab; the third 
 a darker one of 
 various shades; the 
 fourth quite dark 
 followed by a 
 row of red. The 
 shades arc then re- 
 fK-atcd. The row of 
 mixed shades gives the apivearan<e of chenille. 
 A good effect is produced by introducing a row 
 of two prettily contr.isting colors. Crochet a few 
 stitches of e.i< h alternately, carrying the other color 
 at the back of the work. When resumed it should 
 Ik- drawn through the two loops of the last stitch of 
 the prei c-iling color. 
 
 These nigs arc rapidly made, and if the material 
 is strong will wear well.

 THE ART OF CROCHETING. 
 
 even number of stitches as long as you want the 
 stripe wide; pick up a loop through each of the 
 last 2 stitches, then throw the yarn over the hook 
 and draw the thrown-over yarn and the loop next 
 to it through the first loop. Repeat across the 
 stripe. Work back as in plain tricot. 
 
 For the next row make i chain, pick up a loop 
 through the front of each of the first 2 upright loo])s 
 of the last row, and then one through the l>(2ck of 
 the next upright stitch; now throw the yarn over 
 and draw the throw-over and the loop next to it 
 through the next loop ; * pick up another loop 
 through the front of the next upright loop and 
 one through the back, throw yarn over and 
 draw through as before; repeat from * across 
 the row. Work back as before. 
 
 For the next row, make 1 chain, pick up a loop 
 
 end loops through as before; repeat across the 
 work. Work back as in tricot. 
 
 For the Second rmc. — Pick up the stitches as fol- 
 lows, being sure to have thi- dropped stitches in this 
 row fall between those in the row below as seen in 
 the engraving. Pick up one plain, throw the wool 
 over the hook, pick up a loop through the front 
 upright loop, wool over, pick up a loop the back 
 U|)right loop, and then draw the two front stitches 
 through the back ones the same as in the other 
 row, and repeat across the row; work back as in 
 tricot. 
 
 For the Third roiu. — Throw wool over the hook, 
 pick up a loop through the first front upright loo]), 
 wool over and i)ick up a loop through the next back 
 upright loop, and ])ull the front stitches through as 
 before; repeat across the row. When i stitch only

 through the front of the first upright stitch and 
 one through the back of the next, throw yarn over 
 and draw through as before; repeat across the row, 
 picking up the single stitch at the end. Work back 
 and repeat these details for all the rows, being care- 
 ful to follow the instructions so that the stitches 
 that are slipped over will alternate in the rows as 
 seen in the picture. 
 
 To Make the Dark Stri/'e. — Make a chain of an 
 even number of stitches, making it as long as the 
 stripe is to be wide. Skip i stitch, throw the wool 
 over the hook and pick up a loop through the next 
 stitch on the chain; wool over and pick up another 
 loop; there will now be 4 loops on the hook; draw 
 the two nearest the hook through the other two; 
 then take up more stitches in the same way until 
 there are 4 loops again on the hook, and draw the 
 
 can be picked up at the end of the row, do not 
 throw the wool over before picking it up. 
 
 Repeat all the details given for all of the rows 
 until the stripe is long enough. 
 
 Border for the Hug. — After the stripes are joined 
 as seen in the engraving (by a slip-stitch or single 
 crochet), make a row of single crochets all around 
 the rug. 
 
 To Make the Scollops. — i single crochet, i double 
 in each of the next 2 crochets, then 2 rolls with i 
 chain between, in next crochet; (the rolls are made 
 by winding the yarn three times around the hook by 
 the method described for the ball trimming on page 
 98); I double in each of the next 2 crochets, i single 
 in the next crochet; this forms a scollop. Repeat 
 around the rug; then edge the scollop with chain 
 stitches and single crochets as seen in the engraving.

 Block for a Slumber Robe. 
 
 No. 5. — Although originally intended for robes 
 for the cribs, carriages and cradles belonging to 
 
 No. 5.— Block fur a Su-ubek Itoaa. 
 
 the baby world, this block is also used in making 
 robes, spreads and rugs for adults' use. 
 
 For babies' robes white with ])ale-blue or palc- 
 pink wool is used; but in making larger robes, all the 
 odds and ends of fancy colors left over from other 
 crochet work, or small tjuantities of bright colored 
 Germantown or zephyr wools, generally, are util- 
 ized, the object being to make the robe as brilliant 
 as possible. In large robes the outside row of 
 every block is made with black wool, and then the 
 blocks are crocheted together with some bright 
 color — usually yellow. The engraving clearly 
 explains the method of making, and shows how the 
 colors are used. A pretty combination of colors 
 for one block would be lilac for the center, j)ale- 
 green for the riext row, pink for the third row and 
 black for the edge. For another, yellow, gray, red, 
 black. Another, blue, crimson, orange, black. 
 
 No two blocks should be alike, and the colors 
 may be combined to suit the fancy. A handsome 
 fringe of black interspersed with bits of all the 
 colors used is generally added to the top and bot- 
 tom of the robe, and sometimes all aroimd it. If 
 preferred, a border of black and yellow scollops 
 may be crocheted on in place of the fringe. 
 
 Desic.n for Infants' IJlankkt. 
 
 No. 6. — The blanket, a section of which is here 
 illustrated, may be made of double (jcrniantown

 Child's Coat. 
 
 (For IlluBtration eee next Page.)- 
 
 No. 3. — This little 
 coat may be very easily 
 made from the follow- 
 ing directions for a 
 child of any age. 
 Detailed instructions 
 would provide but for 
 one size and one stitch, 
 but by our method 
 any fancy stitch de- 
 sired may be used for 
 the body ])ortion, and 
 any of the cape in- 
 structions heretofore 
 given may be utilized 
 for the cape and 
 flounce. Use German- 
 town wool for the 
 waist portion and Saxony or Shetland floss for the 
 cape and flounce. 
 
 Begin as follows: Prepare a stiff paper pattemj 
 from some plain waist which fits the child snugly,. 
 making the sleeve pattern in one piece. Com- 
 mence each section at the bottom by a chain as 
 long as the pattern is wide at this point. {.Afghan 
 or tricot stitch is used for the waist portion of 
 the coat illustrated). Work the rows back and 
 forth, widening and narrowing as retjuired to shape 
 the section to the pattern; and when the sections 
 are all crocheted, join them on the shoulders and 
 under the arms, close the sleeve seams and sew in 
 the sleeves, all by an over-and-over stitch done-

 the crochet hool:. Place a strip of ribbon under 
 the right-hand edge of the front, hem it down and 
 make button-holes through it and the outside, 
 working them with silk. Sew corresponding but- 
 tons to the opposite side of the front. Finish the 
 neck as follows: Make i single crochet in the 
 first stitch, * i chain, i single crochet in next, and 
 repeat from * around the edge. 
 
 Next two rcnvs. — Same as preceding row, taking 
 the loops up from under the i -chain.

 Infants' Hood. 
 (Made op Split Zephyr (or ."^aiont) anh Silk.) 
 
 No. 6. — /■'or f/it- Lining. — Make a chain of 6 
 stitches and catch to form a ring; make a chain of 
 4 and then 19 double crochets in the ring, drawing 
 
 each out long, and 
 _ catch the last one in 
 
 the top of the chain of 
 4 to form the founda- 
 tion circle. Make an- 
 other chain of 4, then 
 
 1 double crochet in the 
 first stitch underneath, 
 and 2 double crochets 
 in each of the remain- 
 ing stitches, catching 
 the last one in the 
 chain as in the first 
 circle. 
 
 Begin the third row 
 the same as the others 
 and widen by making 
 
 2 double crochets in 
 every other stitch, mak- 
 ing I double crochet in 
 the alternate stitches. 
 
 In the fourth row, 
 begin as before, and 
 widen by 2 double cro- 
 chets in every fourth 
 stitch. 
 
 Now make 12 double crochets across the back of 
 the lining in the last row made, for the neck por- 
 tion. Then make a chain of 5 and catch it in the 
 stitch where a thirteenth double crochet would be 
 made, and fasten and break the thread. Then 
 fasten the thread in the second stitch of the chain 
 and make double crochets along it and in each 
 remaining stitch of the former row, making 3 double 
 crochets over the first of the 12 crochets made for 
 the neck edge. Finish the lining by 3 more rows 
 of plain double crochets. 
 
 To make the Outside. — Make a chain of 4 from 
 the coarsest white crochet silk and catch to form a 
 ring; make 4 chain, and 27 double crochets over 
 the ring and catch the last stitch in the chain the 
 same as in the lining. Fasten the silk and attach 
 the worsted; then make 6 chain and i treble cro- 
 chet in the stitch from which the chain starts, and 
 2 trebles in each of the remaining stitches of the 
 circle, and catch the last one in the chain as in the 
 first circle. Fasten the wool and attach the silk 
 again by a single crochet to one of the trebles. 
 Make 3 chain, and i single crochet in the next 
 treble, 3 chain, and i single crochet in the next 
 treble and so on around the circle. Then repeat 
 for two rows, making the single crochet in the 
 spaces formed by the chains of 3 in the other rows. 
 This will form a silk stri])e. Break off the silk 
 and attach the worsted. 
 
 Now make 5 chain, then i double crochet in a 
 space of the last silk row; then make a jjuff of 4 
 double crochets in the next space, according to the 
 
 following method: Throw the wool over the liook 
 and pick \\\i a loop through the space; repeat three 
 times more in the same space, then throw the yarn 
 over the hook again and draw through all the loops 
 on the hook excejit the last one; throw thread over 
 and draw through the two loops left. *Then make 
 I double crochet in each of the next two spaces, 
 then a jMiff in the next space, and repeat from * for 
 the remainder of the row, fastening the last puff to 
 the chain made at the beginning of the row. 
 
 Make another silk stripe of three rows, the same 
 as the first stripe made, fastening the single cro- 
 chets of the first row in the spaces formed by the 
 double crochets and puffs. This forms the crown 
 part of the outside. For the front and sides of the 
 hood, make two more rows of puffs, with 13 puffs in 
 each, alternating with two corres]jonding silk stripes. 
 Now begin with the worsted fastening it to the 
 space in the last silk row at the corner; make a 
 chain of 5, make a double crochet in the space just 
 mentioned, * 2 chain, i double crochet in next 
 space and re|)eat from * all around the hood. 
 Make another similar row of double crochets and 
 chains making 2 double crochets at each corner, so 
 that the work will be flat. 
 
 To make the Border for the Outside. — Fasten the 
 worsted at a double crochet, make a chain of 3, 
 then 3 double crochets over the double crochet to 
 which the worsted was fastened, and 3 more over 
 the adjoining double crochet in the next row of 
 double crochets; turn and work back the other way 
 in the ««'jir/ double crochets in the two rows, making 
 3 doubles over each double. A\'ork back and forth 
 in this manner all around the hood. The effect 
 will be like a fluted ruffle. Now edge this ruffle 
 with silk, making chains of 3 and catching them 
 with single crochets at the top of the ruffle, in the 
 spaces between the clusters of 3 doubles; and also 
 with single crochets drawn up long, at the front and 
 back of the rufile, catching the single crochets in 
 the spaces of the silk stripe and to the edge of the 
 hood. 
 
 Now place the outside over the lining and fasten 
 the two together 
 with a scollop made 
 as follows: Fasten 
 the worsted to the 
 edges of the lining 
 and outside at a 
 point between the 
 flutings; make a 
 loose chain of 2 
 stitches, 3 double 
 crochets in the hole 
 where the worsted 
 is fastened, and then 
 make a single cro- 
 chet between the 
 next two flutings to complete the shell. Make 
 similar shells between all the flutings to hold the 
 edges of the outside and lining together. Finish 
 the hood with a bow of ribbon at the top of the 
 front and at the back of the neck, and add ties 
 of the same ribbon.

 •Germantown wool or zephyr, and of one or two 
 colors, as jircferred. It is made in the six-star 
 stitch in cone shape, and is hegim at the bottom by 
 a chain about 18 inches long closed to form acircle; 
 then make 2 rows of stars without narrowing. Close 
 each row with a slip stitch and make 4 chain to 
 even the work before beginning the next row. 
 
 For the ne.xt 1 1 rows of stars, narrow at the 
 bfginning of each alternaU row, and at the end of 
 each intervening row. (To narrow: Pick up the first 
 
 4 loops through the eye of one star in the usual 
 way, the sth loop through the eye of the next star, 
 and the last loop through the next >titch, and work 
 off as usual.) Now make a row of double crochets 
 in the eyes of the last row of stars; and then a row 
 of doubles in every second space of the first row, 
 to draw the cap to a peak. 
 
 For the Lmoer Part of the Cop. — Make 2 rows of 
 double crochets drawn up long (in every stitch), 
 holding the wrong side of the caj) toward you. Now 
 make 3 rows of stars, and finish the edge with 
 scollops made as follows: 3 doubles a picot made by 
 3 chain caught in the top of the last double, and 
 the scollop thus formed caught down by a single 
 <;rochet, so as to make the edge perfectly flat. Now 
 turn up the star portion of the brim; plait the front 
 along the joining so as to bring the peak down to 
 the brim, as seen in the engrasing, and arrange 
 three jjompons on the cap, as represented. 
 
 These pompons are simply large balls of worsted 
 made after the plan for making the balls for the 
 cord to the sack, described and illustrated at No. 
 
 5 on page 102. 
 
 Stripeiv Scotch Cap. 
 
 Nos. 8 AND 9.— This rap is made of two shades 
 of Germantown wool. There are thirty-six stripes 
 with four rows of single crochet for each stripe. 
 The strii)es are arranged to come alternately wrong 
 and right side out, and the work for each mu-it !>r 
 all done upon one side, which will ncci 
 breaking the yarn at theen"!-"'' ihi- rows .\-^ 
 
 trated at No. 9, the light stripes are right side out. 
 
 Too begin the stri(>cs, take one of the shades of 
 
 wool and make a chain of 30 stitches, and crochet 
 
 4 rows as directed; then join the other shade and 
 make another 4 rows also as directed. 
 
 When the stripes are completed and the section 
 is joined, make two or three rows of single cro- 
 chet right side out at one edge, and then begin to 
 narrow at every loth stitch; continue to narrow in 
 every row at the 9th, Sth and 7th stitches respec- 
 tively, and so on in this order until the size of the 
 head is reached; then crochet enough rows to 
 make the band as wide as desired. Gather the top 
 of the cap closely under a pompon of the wool. 
 
 The band of this crown may be bordered with a

 Then add a row of stars. Then to the lower edge 
 add a row of double crochets and puffs, and a row 
 of stars. 
 
 Across the neck make a row of double crochets 
 with 2 chain between, in which to run a ribbon or 
 cord. Add a row of stars, then a row of double 
 crochets and puffs, then a row of plain puffs.

 preferred, either sejiarately or in connection with 
 silk. The latter may be usefl in alternate rows with 
 the finer wools, or as an edging to the border; or it 
 may be used throughout the hood together with the 
 wool, crocheting both threads at the same time. 
 
 Make a chain long enough to go around the head 
 and meet under the chin. Along this chain work 
 the si.\-star stitch. Turn (instead of breaking the 
 thread) and work back a second row of stars. Turn 
 again and make 6 chain, i treble crochet in the eye 
 of the first star, 2 chain, i treble in the ne.xt eye and 
 so on across the row. Then make 4 rows of stars 
 and another row of trebles. This will complete the 
 piece for the top and sides of the hood. 
 
 To make the Crotvn. — Divide the back edge of 
 the piece just made into three parts, or thirds. 
 Begin at the right end of the middle division or 
 third, and make stars across this i)ortion, widening 
 and narrowing to shape the crown according to the 
 diagram seen at No. 10. When the crown is com- 
 pleted sew its curved edges to the other thirds or 
 divisions of the front piece. 
 
 To make the Cape. — Join the wool to the lower 
 right corner of the front, (holding the work right 
 side out), make 2 chain, throw thread over the 
 hook, pick up a loop through first stitch, thread 
 over, pick up a loop througli ne.xt stitch, thread 
 over and draw through all but one loop on the 
 hook, thread over and through the 2 loops. Repeat 
 across the back of the hood to the end of the row. 
 Break off the thread and make a second row and as 
 many more as are required to make the cape as 
 deep as desired, widening as necessary by beginning 
 the widening clusters of stitches in the last stitch 
 taken uj) in the preceding cluster.

 To make tne Bordfr. — Begin at the top of the 
 cape at the front edge of the hood. Make a shell 
 of 5 treble crochets in the first stitch under the 
 hook; and catch with a single t rochet so that it will 
 lie flatly. Make similar shells along the front edge 
 to the top of the cape at the other side. Turn this

 row of shells back on the hood, and then continue 
 making them around the cape, and also again across 
 the front of the hood in front of the other shells. 
 Make a picot edge of crochet silk along all the shells, 
 making the picots by alternate chains of 2 or 3, and 
 single crochets made in the loop of every stitch. 
 
 A lining of silk may be added to this hood, or one 
 may be crocheted in double crochets and single 
 chains of the same shape as the hood, and inserted 
 before the border is added. 
 
 Run ribbons in the treble crochets in the front 
 piece as seen in the engraving, and add a bow and 
 ties of the same ribbon. 
 
 Baby's Cape. 
 
 No. 12. — This little cape may be made of 
 Saxony, single zephyr, Shetland floss or any 
 worsted preferred, in pink or blue, or of white 
 combined with either of these colors or with 
 yellow. It is made exactly after the method given 
 for ladies' cape No. 26, seen on page 90, except, of 
 course, that it is made upon a smaller plan. It 
 must always be begun by a chain a little longer 
 than required by the neck of the youthful wearer, 
 and it may be made as large as desired. 
 
 An invalid's wrap was made for a lady, by adding 
 to the ordinary size of a pretty crocheted cape of 
 Shetland floss, until the garment was large enough 
 to extend almost to the bottom of the gown, and 
 was luxurious for the purpose intended as well 
 as beautiful to the eye. 
 
 An infant's cloak could be made upon the same 
 princii)le by extending the little cape illustrated 
 into an ample length. Then to the dainty < loak, il 
 desired, could be added a lining made of the same 
 or a lighter wool in double crochets separated by 
 single chain stitches; or a lining of prettily tinted 
 cashmere, flannel or silk could be used with good 
 effect. 
 
 Baby's Sock. 
 
 No. 13.— This little sock is made of single zephyr 
 in two colors, pink and while— a rc.mbination vcrv 
 
 popular for such articlef. To make the sock like 
 the illustration, proceed aS follows: 
 
 For the Lmver Fart. — Make a chain of 10 
 stitchc, and work 9 rows of plain tricot in white 
 zephyr; then lontinue with a chain of 20 stitches, 
 catching the last stitch to the opposite corner of the 
 tricot portion. Now make 5 more chain stitches, 
 turn, and make 1 double crochet in the second 
 stitch from th.- hook, and 1 in each of the re- 
 maining stitches. Mak« another 5-chain, turn 
 and make i louble crochet in each of the next 
 4 stiti-hes, catching the last double crochet to 
 the one next it, so as to make a firm finish. Join 
 the colored wool, and work 1 single crochet in 
 each doubl-' crochet back of the tricot |>ortion, and 
 also 8 singles along each of the 3 sides of the trirot, 
 and 2 at ea<h corner. Make 7 more rows of single 
 crochet, widening by the 2 at each corner. Break 
 off the yarn, and sew or crochet the sock together 
 along the sole and across the toe. 
 
 For thf Upprr Pari. — Join the white wool and 
 make i dovil.le crochet in every space at the top of 
 the tricot portion. ski[) the laps, and continue in 
 the remaining double crochets. Make 4 more rows 
 of double crochets, 2 of colored and 2 of white, and 
 finish the top with small s< ollops made by 4 double 
 crochets and 1 single one in every space. Run a 
 crocheted cord of the two colors through the laps 
 and around the ankle, and complete it at each end 
 with a ball of the two colors, made the same as 
 those for the baby's sack No. 5 on page 102. 
 
 The upper part of the sock may be made of the 
 star siit( h if desired, or in any other close stitch 
 preferred; but in this event the whole sock should 
 be made of Saxony yarn. When Saxony yarn is 
 used the foot of the sock must be made as large as 
 desired, irrespective of the number of stitches 
 given in this direction.

 sewed together. After the sleeve portion is fin- 
 ished, then the stitches across the body of the 
 sack are picked up, and this closes the arm-holes. 
 Begin at the neck with a chain of the required 
 length. The widenings are as follows: On the

 shoulders, crcrv raic: At the middle of the back 
 and under the arms, evfiy third rim\ until the sack 
 is as long as required. 
 
 For the Border. — Make i single crochet in each 
 stitch along the front and lower edges of the sack; 
 then make a shell of 5 double crochets in the first 
 single crochet at the upper corner, skip 2 single 
 crochets, i single crochet in the next stitch, skip 2 
 singles and make a shell in the next; repeat to end 
 of work, for first row of shells, making 9 double 
 crochets in each lower-corner shell. 
 
 Second roii'. — Begin at the 3rd double crochet 
 from the back of the corner shell, and with pink or 
 blue crochet silk, make a shell of 5 double cro- 
 chets in each single crochet of the first row of 
 shells, and catch with a single crochet in the top of 
 each shell of that row. 
 
 Third rtnc. — A row of wool shells, same as first 
 row, making them in the single crochets of the silk 
 ■shells, and catching them in the top of the silk 
 shells. Now make, across the neck, 6 chain, i double 
 crochet in 3rd stitch, 2 chain, i double crochet, 2 
 chain, i double crochet to the other front edge. 
 
 Fourth and Fifth ro70s. — Same as 2nd and 3rd 
 rows of shells, continuing the fifth row (silk) across 
 the neck, being careful to make the corner shells 
 full enough to lie flatly. 
 
 For the Entire Outer Edge. — Silk shells made in 
 the top of shells underneath and caught in the 
 single crochets. 
 
 For the Applied Border. — A chain stitch of silk 
 taken up through each tricot or afghan stitch, to 
 form two lines an inch apart. A row of feather 
 stitching of the silk is made with a needle between 
 the lines as seen in the engraving. The sleeves are 
 finished like the front edge cf the sack. Run a ribbon 
 or a crocheted, tasseled cord in the neck for ties. 
 
 Crocheted Hat or Cap. 
 
 No. 15. — This hat or cap may be used for school 
 wear or for outings or pastimes, by eitiier children 
 or young ladies. It is made of double zejihyr and 
 may be of one or two colors. As represented it is 
 made of pink and white double zephyr. 
 
 To make a caj) for a girl of from twelve to four- 
 teen years, begin with a chain of 4 joined to. form a 
 ring; make 9 single crochets over the ring, and 
 catch to the first stitch. (For every row turn and 
 work backward, taking up the back half of every 
 single crochet. 
 
 Now, for the second row make 2 chain, 2 single 
 crochets in each of the single crochets of the first row, 
 and fasten the last single crochet to the chain of 2. 
 
 Third row. — Make 2 chain; i single crochet in 
 each of the first 2 crochets of the second row, and 
 2 in the 3rd stitch to widen. 
 
 Make 14 rows in a similar manner, widening 
 regularly and increasing the number of stitches 
 between the widenings by one for each row, thus: 
 In the fourth row widen in every fourth stitch, in 
 the fifth row in every fifth stitch, and so on to the 
 15th row. In the 15th row, widen only at the 
 front and back, and crochet 7 rows more without 
 widening. 
 
 To make the Brim, which is of two colors. — At the 
 end of the last row make a chain of 14 of the white, 
 turn and work back, a single crochet in each of the 
 stitches of the chain, making two in the last one; 
 skip the first crochet of the crown-row and fasten 
 with a single crochet in the second. Turn, make 
 
 1 chain, make 2 single crochets in the one under- 
 neath, and one in each of the remaining 12 crochets. 
 Now tie the pink wool in the end of the first ribbed 
 row of the white; draw up a long loop of the pink, 
 put the wool over the hook and pick up a loop 
 through the second single crochet of second row of 
 white, put the wool over and draw through all the 
 loops on the hook. This carries the pink wool over 
 the ends of the white row. Make a single crochet 
 in each of the next 1 1 crochets of the white row and 
 
 2 in the 12th and fasten to the crown in the same 
 manner as before; work back the same as in second 
 row of white, and repeat these details for the entire 
 brim of the cap, and sew or crochet the brim 
 together at the completion of the last row, which 
 should be of the pink. 
 
 The wools are not broken at the ends of the rows,

 but are carried alternately over the ends as directed 
 at the joining of the pink wool. The effect, when 
 the cap is completed is that of a pink and white cord 
 at the edge of the brim. Finish the cap with a cord 
 and balls both of the two colors.

 end of each row. There will be 38 stitches on the

 of medium size and cast on 14 stitches. Knit 
 in loop knitting, winding the wool around a lead 
 pencil instead of the finger. Knit back and forth 
 till the band is long enough to fit the crown. The 
 size given is for a very small cap, but by adding 
 more rows to the crown piece and increasing the 
 length of the band, it can be enlarged. In making 
 it larger add also to the number of rows that turn 
 under in the crown. 
 
 Child's Scotch Cap. 
 
 No. 18. — Dark red or navy-blue zephyr is used 
 for the crown of this little cap, with chinchilla wool 
 for the band. It is done in fancy tricot stitch. 
 The crown is in five pieces, four of equal size for 
 the sides and back, and one larger piece for the 
 front. This size is for a child of three years. For 
 each of the four pieces make a chain of 20 stitches, 
 and work the first row as in ordinary tricot, or as it 
 is sometimes called, afghan stitch; going forward 
 take up a loop through each chain, keeping them 
 all on the needle, and going back work off the last 
 loop singly, then work off two and two to the end; 
 this makes one row. In every succeeding row 
 instead of talking the loops through the perpen- 
 dicular meshes which lie on the surface, as in ordi- 
 narv tricot stitch, take them around the chain of 
 each stitch at the top. Work 29 more rows after 
 the ist; in the 7th row and in every 3rd row there- 
 after, narrow i stitch at each end of the row. In 
 the first 7 rows, in order to form an evenly sloped 
 edge with the narrower part at the top, omit a 
 stitch at the beginning of 2 or 3 of the rows, and 
 gain a stitch at the end of the same rows. F'or the 
 full piece at the front, crochet 32 rows in the same 
 stitch on a foundation of 93 stitches, without either 
 widening or narrowing. The band is worked cross- 
 wise on a foundation of 8 stitches; for the first half 
 of the 1st row take up loops as in ordinary tricot 
 stitch described above; going back, work off the 
 last loop, work off 2, make 3 chain stitches, work 
 f>ff 2 pairs of loops, make 3 chain, work off 2 ])airs, 
 
 make 3 chain, work off 2 pairs. For the first half 
 of the 2nd row take up a loo|) each through the 
 jjerpendicular meshes that lie on the surface, taking 
 care to keep 8 as at the beginning, the chain 
 stitches forming raised dots on the surface; for the 
 second half work off 3 stitches, 3 chain for a dot, 
 work off 2 stitches, 3 chain for a dot, work off 3 
 stitches. Continue to repeat these 2 rows in turn 
 until the band is long enough (42 times in the 
 model), then join the ends. Finish the lower edge 
 with a row of slip stitches in the same wool worked 
 from the wrong side, and for the upper edge work 
 a row of slip stitches from the right side with the 
 same wool as the crown. Having crocheted the 
 parts of the crown together, crochet the band to it; 
 crochet a stitch of the band to a stitch of the 
 crown around the four gores of the back, then 
 gather the edge of the front i)iece of the crown 
 and join it to the remainder of the band. Gather 
 the top of the crown together, and fasten a button 
 on the center. For the satin lining of the cap, cut 
 for the crown six pieces each seven inches deep, 
 four inches wide at the lower edge and sloped nar- 
 rower toward the top. In the band put canvas 
 interlining between the satin and the crochet-work.

 Either of the star stitches may be used, and the 
 work must be shaped by widening to the outlines of 
 the diagram given. The latter should be cut from 
 stiff paper and made of the dimensions directed. 
 
 Begin at the top or center of the crown with 2 
 stars and work around, widening at the center of 
 the front and back by making 3 stars in one, and at 
 the sides in the usual manner by 2 stars in one, for 
 the first two or three rows according to the require- 
 ments of the diagram. Lower down widen twice at 
 each side, (and also at the center, as before), mak- 
 ing the widenings equal distances apart, and as 
 often as recjuired to shape the work to the diagram.

 around the foot, catching each double across the 
 toe into an u])|)cr cross-stitch and one of the pulled- 
 up loops; and widening in the first and third rows 
 by 2 double crochets at the toe corners. .Across 
 the toe in the last row, make the double crochets 
 shorter (or tighter) in order to draw the toe into a 
 good shape. Turn the foot wrong side out and 
 crochet the sole together with a sli|) stitch, taking 
 up only one thread of each double. This will make 
 the sole smooth- Now begin at the right-side 
 corner of the inslej) and make doultle crochets with 
 1 chain between around the opening, for the leg: 
 join the last chain to the first double cro<het made; 
 across the front pick up 8 loops, and make 5 rows to 
 correspond with the instep. IJreak off the thread, 
 begin at the left hand side of the front, and make a 
 row of six-star stit h around the ankle, fastening at 
 the opposite side; turn, work back a row of double 
 crochet; then another row of stars, then a row of 
 single crochets, a row of stars all around the ankle, 
 and then i row of single crochet, i row of stars, and 
 a final row of single crochets. Finish the top with 
 shells made with 3 double crochets cauglit »lown 
 between with single crochets. Run a crocheted 
 cord in the spaces at the ankle, and finish with 
 balls or tassels of the wool 
 
 Tam o'Shantkk Cap. 
 
 Nos. 20 AND 21.— This pretty cap is made of 
 Germantown yarn, and is crocheted by the mcthoil 
 illustrated at No. 2', which is single cn>chei ^or 
 
 the first two rows, make 3 singles in each single 
 underneath; but after the sccon<l row, one single 
 crochet only is made in each siit< h, except when 
 it is needful to widen so as not to make the work 
 "cappy," two single crochets being made for this 
 [lurpose whenever needed. All that is to be con- 
 sidered in the further progress of the crown is to 
 have the work neither cajj nor ruffle the least bit, 
 and judgment will have to be exercised in intro- 
 ducing the two single crochets in one stitch, as no 
 rule can be followed in this matter. Crochet very 
 tightly and evenly and do not widen regularly at 
 certain places, for this will spoil the circular sha|>e 
 needful. Forty rows arc necessary to complete the 
 crown. The part for the side and brim is made 
 separately from the crown. Start with a chain of 
 as many stitches as there are in the last row in the 
 crown and join the ends of the chain; then make a 
 single crochet in each chain. In the second row 
 make the san>e number of stitches as in the second 
 row from the last in the crown, skipping a stitch 
 when ne<essary to obtain the right nuujber; each 
 succeeding row should also contain only the same 
 number of stitches as the corresponding row in the 
 crown, imtil twenty rows are made. When cor- 
 rectly made this portion will Ik* perfectly smooth 
 when laid upon the outer part of the crown. The 
 twenty-first row is made without widening or nar- 
 rowing, and seven other rows are needed to form 
 the brim and complete the caj). In making these 
 last seven rows widen a little on each row. only 
 enough, however, to make a band that will fit the 
 head of the person who is to wear the cap. When 
 the last row is made finish off securely and neatly. 
 Then jilace this portion on the crown, with the 
 right sides together, and sew the parts together 
 with a piece of the worsted, or join them by slip 
 stitches. The cap is then completed and ready 
 for the j)ompon, which should be sewed on with

 to produce a diamond effect. 
 
 The border for the sleeves is 3 shells wide, that 
 for the fronts and neck is 4 shells wide, and for the 
 bottom 6 shells wide, and is made as follows: 
 
 First ro7v. — Make 5 double crochets in each 
 stitch between the shells. In each of the other 
 rows, every shell is put in sideways under the niid- 
 dle double crochet of the preceding row, always 
 keeping the work right side out. Edge the outer 
 shells with single crochets with the silk, and carry 
 the beading chains up and down the spaces be- 
 tween the shells.

 No. 1.— Method of Maeiko "Cord Work.' 
 
 "Cord Work." 
 
 Nos. I, 2 ANiJ 3. — The German name for this 
 style of work is given above, but almost every one 
 will recognize it as the "spool and pin work" 
 whii h children are fond of doing with bits of 
 bright wools, worsteds or crewels. The juvenile 
 plan is to drive four pins into a spool at the sides 
 of the opening, wind the wool around them, and 
 with another pin pick up the loops and pass them 
 over the wmdings one after another, always turning 
 the spool. A long, round, variegated cord is the 
 result of spool work, and it may be formed into 
 mats, tiny rugs and play-reins of many shapes and 
 styles. 
 
 The pretty tippet illustrated at No. 3 is made in the 
 same manner, except that in place of the spool, a 
 frame of wooden pegs (see No. i) is used. No. i 
 aiso shows how the yarn is wound round and round 
 
 dainty fingers. Possibly mamma or the big sister 
 might not consider their work evenly done or 
 accurate as to outlines and dimensions, but the 
 little workers themselves are proud of their work, 
 and dolls' castles and jilay-houses grow brilliant 
 with so-called mats and tidies, laces and tassel

 board a circular piece about one inch in diameter, 
 and cut a large hole in the center; run the worsted 
 in and out through the hole, 
 about the solitl |)ortion of 
 the section, as shown by No. 
 5, until the section is very 
 thickly and uniformly cov- 
 ered. 'J'hen run a thread 
 of the worsted under the 
 worsted on the section, as 
 shown by No. 6, being care- 
 ful to put the needle back 
 in the ])lace where it conies 
 through till the thread comes 
 out at the starting point; 
 then cut the worsted all 
 around the edge of the sec- 
 tion, and tie the thread run 
 round the hole as tightly as 
 possible. The manner of 
 putting in the tying thread 
 
 and cutting the worsted is shown at No. C- and the 
 manner of tying the thread when the worsted is cut 
 is shown at No. 7. After cutting the worsted j)ull 
 it through the hole at one side; clip the threads 
 evenly and closely with a sharp scissors, rolling the 
 ball between the palms of the hands to shape it: 
 then shake it well. The balls may be made any 
 size desired by increasing or decreasing the size 
 of the card-board section upon which the worsted 
 is wound. Many persons make the balls by wind- 
 ing the worsted in and out between the prongs 
 of a fork and tying the entire mass through the 
 center. The cutting, clipping, rolling, etc., is the 
 same as that directed for the balls just described. 
 The effect of the balls made in fringes is shown at 
 Nos. 8 and 9. 
 
 When all the balls are made, string them to 
 make the fringe seen. Knots tied in the cord on 
 which they are strung will hold the balls in place, 
 or, you may fasten each by taking an extra stitch 
 back and forth through it. 
 
 How To Make a Rainbow Mat.

 This i)retty mat will help to brighten your own 
 little dressing-table, or, if made 
 small enougli, will serve as a rug 
 ^^ for your best doll's house. Be- 
 
 sides, in making it, you will learn 
 the colors of the rainbow and the 
 order in which they follow, and 
 ])Ossil)ly you will remember both 
 much better than if you simply 
 learned them as a lesson from a 
 book at school. 
 
 A poi)ular teacher, many years 
 ago, told his pupils, whom he 
 taught in many novel ways, of a 
 word which they could not find 
 in the dictionary, but which, if 
 they could remember it, would 
 always correctly suggest to them 
 these beautiful colors and their 
 order. The word was formed by the initial letters 
 of the names of the colors and was "vibgyor,"

 Besides these colors, get two or three shades of 
 light gray, as near the color of clouds as you can 
 find. Make a little round or oblong center in 
 rows of double or single crochet, which mamma 
 will show you how to 
 begin and make, using 
 the darkest gray first 
 and the lightest last. 
 Then begin with the 
 rainbow colors, taking 
 the red first, the 
 orange next, the yel- 
 low next and so on 
 to the top of the 
 list, always working 
 around once or twice 
 with each color. 
 When you have used 
 the violet shade, then 
 join the lightest gray 
 and work around 
 using the darkest 
 gray last. Then cro- 
 chet a border of 
 yellow silk shells 
 around the edge to 
 
 imitate the sunlight, and you will have a little mat 
 that will not only be very pretty but will have 
 taught you as pretty a lesson as well. You may 
 make a set of these mats for mamma's dressing 
 table if she likes bright colors, and no doubt she 
 will be very much pleased with them. 
 
 Or, with a spool and the pins as referred to in 
 the Cord Work described on page 113, you could 
 with the colors named, make tiny rainbow-ropes 
 to coil into mats or to make rugs and spreads 
 from for your doll's house; or you could make a 
 robe for her carriage or sofa. In fact you can

 bead each time, thus; Insert the hook in a loop,

 a mamma and older sister. The reins shown, 
 to be used in his play, have a pretty band of dark 
 blue velvet, upon which is outlined a flying steed, 
 whose record, it is fair to presume, has never been 
 beaten. All around the edge are tiny bells that 
 jingle with every movement of the prancing boy. 
 The reins are crocheted of scarlet worsted, and are 
 sufficiently easy for even a novice to attempt. The 
 stitch used in making them is called the afghan 
 stitch, and is illustrated and described at Nos. 14, 
 15 and 16 on this page. 
 
 Hoxv to crochet the Reins. — First make a chain of 
 five or six, or more stitches, according to the width 
 you want the reins, as seen at No. 14. Mamma will 
 show you how to make a chain, or you can turn to 
 page 5 of this book and learn for yourselves how to 
 do it. Take up the stitch in the chain nearest the 
 hook; throw the thread over the hook as also 
 shown at picture No. 14, and draw the hook through 
 the loop; take up each stitch in the chain in the 
 same manner till all the stitches are lifted on the 
 hook, as shown at picture No. 15. Then throw the 
 thread over the hook and crochet two stitches off 
 from it, and proceed in this manner till all the 
 stitches are crocheted off. In the next row each of 
 these stitches is lifted as shown at picture No. 16, in 
 the same manner as the stitches in the chain, and 
 crocheted off as described. This stitch is fully 
 described on page 8, and also pictured on page 9 of 
 this book so that you may see just how it looks. 
 Zephyr wools are usually employed for this stitch. 
 You must be careful even in this, the simplest of 
 crocheting, to do the work regularly and not have 
 one line loose and another tight. If you will read 
 the instructions for making a chain stitch and how 
 to hold the thread for it, you will learn at once 
 how to make even work.

 push a bead close to the work, and pull the silk 
 through the loo[); this will keep the beads tight. Go 
 on with these rounds until the chain is long enough. 
 Attach a black swivel at the ends where the chain is 
 joined. These are pretty chains for mourning, but 
 you may make them of gay colors such as red, blue 
 or yellow, and wear them with your toy watches if 
 you like. But if you want to make a chain for papa 
 or mamma, you should use the black beads and silk.

 Edgings of the variety illustrated upon the fol- 
 lowing eight pages are not only exceedinlgy pretty, 
 but popular as well. Although the illustrations 
 mentioned represent but a few of the numerous 
 patterns to be obtained, we have chosen such as 
 may be easily copied from the pictures without 
 detailed instructions, which want of space compels 
 us to omit. From time to time, however, some of 
 these edgings, with full directions for making, will 
 appear in the Delineator ; and those who prefer 
 to work from samples may obtain the latter, cor- 
 rectly made up in the braids represented, from fancy- 
 work houses dealing in braids and crochet work. 
 
 The designs here illustrated, however, are so per- 
 fectly delineated that the clever crocheter will find 
 no difficulty whatever in following their details and 
 producing perfect results unaided either by instruc- 
 tions or the samples just mentioned. 
 
 If the braids illustrated cannot be obtained in 
 one's own town or city, they may be ordered from 
 metropolitan dealers in such goods, especially those 
 who manufacture modern laces from their braids. 
 
 It is not essential, however, that braids of exactly 
 the same designs as those here pictured be used in 
 making these edgings. Any fancy braid readily 
 obtainable may be substituted, and the crocheter 
 may exercise her own judgment as to its width and 
 texture, and also as to which border or intermediate 
 pattern she will use in making her edging or insertion. 
 She may also make the work with coloretl cotton 
 or with colored braids if she can find them; and 
 some of the designs given may be enlargetl to form 
 tidies, spreads, scarfs, pillow-shams, doilies, etc, etc. 
 For instance, the design seen at No. 19 represents 
 a style of edging which could be enlarged into the 
 articles above mentioned very easily, as it is simply 
 fancy braid crossed, with the spaces filled in with 
 crochet work. Three varieties of filling-in designs 
 are shown, and one, two, or all three as represented, 
 may be used at one time for either edging or fancy 
 articles. White braid with ^-cru thread makes a 
 pretty combination for decorative laces. 
 
 At No. 5 the same kind of braid in an icm tint 
 (full size shown) is formed into a handsome dress 
 trimming. White braid is also very handsome 
 made up into this edging for gowns of wash fabrics. 
 
 N'os. I, 4, 8, 10 and jo show another variety of 
 braid handsomely and yet simply combined with 
 crochet work and resulting in a stylish garniture 
 for draperies or |)ersonal wear. 
 
 No. 6 introduces the knot stitch described and 
 illustrated on previous pages and shows a vcr)' lace- 
 like edging ; while No. 9 is rendered exceedingly 
 dainty by the net-like < haractcr of the braid. 
 
 No. 1 2 is formed of two braids, the lower one 
 being shaped into a scollop- ruffle which is extreme- 
 ly effective when used for trimming petticoats. 
 
 No. 14 is formed of heavy linen braids with an 
 imitation of drawn work between them done in 
 crochet, and is handsome upon household or per- 
 sonal linen decorated with drawn work. 
 
 Any of the other edgings will be found both 
 stylish and serviceable for any purpose for which 
 such trimmings are used. 
 
 One of the prettiest garnitures for black or 
 colored dresses is made of black silk feather-edge 
 or fancy braid, combined with crochet work done 
 with bl.n k silk. .-Xny of the familiar feather-edac 
 braid lace patterns may be used in making this 
 lace, which forms a rich looking decoration not 
 unlike the hand-made or crocheted passementeries 
 made in foreign convents. On page 128 in the 
 dejiartment of .Miscellany, will be seen a pin- 
 cushion cover of feather-edge braid, with one of 
 the wheels composing it given in its full si/e. \ 
 very elegant scarf, and also a handsome panel and 
 waist garniture, was made up after the same design 
 in black silk feather-edge braid and black crochet 
 silk, for a costume of black silk to be worn by a 
 lady in half-mourning. It mav also be well to 
 mention in connection with the suggestion for 
 using black braids that some of the < rochctcd 
 laces in this l>ook have l>ecn made up in col- 
 ored silks for dress garnitures with the most 
 satisfactory results, especially in black and the 
 gray and brown shades. .-Vs a substitute for gimp, 
 such as is used for edging collars, cuffs, vests, 
 basques, coatt, etc., etc., any of the narrow edgings 
 illustrated, or one row of the shell* so often 
 observed at the top of ■ - ' • ' ' ., jj ^

 for constructing all manner of baskets, large and 
 small, for the reception of different articles. The 
 basket here shown is made of rope and lined with 
 terra-cotta India silk, the bottom being formed of 
 card-board and covered on the outside with the silk. 
 Three strands of four ropes each are 
 sewed together for an ample length and 
 then braided and joined under a loose 
 knot formed by ravelling the ropes at 
 the end of the braid. The cardboard 
 bottom is tacked to the rope wherever 
 it touches around the lower edge. A 
 circular piece of the silk is cut large 
 enough to form a self-heading above the 
 edge oi the basket and to serve for 
 lining the bottom and sides of the in- 
 side; the fulness resulting from the 
 shirring is tacked to position at the 
 bottom along the sides.

 I.AMi- SHADK <JK Lace and Crochet Work. 
 
 Nos. 3 AM) 4. — Among the j)rctty decorations of 
 the home are shades of various kinds for lamps and 
 globes. They arc generally made of China silk 
 and fringe or of lace and crochet work like the one 
 illustrated; and the lace may be made at home 
 after the darned net method cither in all white or 
 with an intermingling of colors. 1 he lace used in 
 this instance is of a pretty Vandyke jiattern and is 
 about 6^ inches deep. A yard and one-quarter 
 was used and its ends were ver)- neatly joined lie- 
 tween two points, and its upper e<lge was turned in 
 the width of a seam or about one-fourth of an 
 inch, and the crochet work of orange-colored silk 
 at the top was then added as follows: 4 rows of 
 double crot hets, se[)arated by j-chains, each double 
 being taken through the middle stitch of the chain 
 under it. The scollops arc made as follows: 7 
 double crochets in every alternate space, and 
 caught with single crochets in the intervening 
 spaces. Then in the upper row of spaces run a 
 narrow orange-colored ribbon; and when the shade 
 is laid over the lamp, draw the ribbon to pro|M:rly 
 adjust the shade, and tic in a pretty bow. 
 
 The crochet work for the bottom of a shade 
 must be made according to the outlines of the lace

 Pin- Cushion Cover. 
 
 Nos. 5 AND 6. — The dainty pin-cushion cover 
 here illustrated belongs to a complete bureau set 
 made in the same way. The scarf to the set con- 
 sists of solid work like the pin-cushion cover; but 
 if desired it might be made of the rosettes and 
 lawn or batiste. 
 
 The materials are deep cream-colored feather- 
 edge braid, pale-cream tinted lace-braid and 6cru 
 crochet cotton. The rosettes are made by the 
 instructions given below, and they are joined as 
 seen at No. 5 after which the spaces are filled in 
 with lace braid crossed and fastened under the 
 rosettes. If preferred the spaces could be filled in 
 with crochet work, or, prettier still, with drawn- 
 work wheels or some of the bars used in making 
 modern lace. All white, or cream color of one 
 shade, could be used throughout the work, if 
 desired. Laid over pale-[)ink, pale-blue, orange, 
 scarlet, pale-green, lavender or old-rose, a bureau 
 set like this is exceedingly pretty. 
 
 To make the Rosette. — Take the feather-edge 
 braid, catch the thread in a loop, make 8 chain, 
 skip 4 loops of the braid and catch with a single 
 crochet in the next one; ** 3 chain, skip 3 stitches

 No. 7. — Use the coarsest cro( het silk in black, 
 white or any color preferred, and a hook suitable 
 for the silk. 
 
 Make a chain of 40 sitchcs. Turn, and in the 
 third stitch from the hook make a double crochet; 
 repeat the double crochet in each of the remaining 
 36 stitches. Turn, and make a double crochet in 
 each one of the first row. Make 66 rows in all 
 like these two. Hegin to narrow al the 67th row, 
 by ski])ping the first double crochet in the row 
 underneath; work across, turn and narrow again 
 in the same way; repeat the narrowings in this 
 manner until there are but 13 double crochets in a 
 row. Make 70 rows of 13 double crochets each, 
 then begin to widen by making two double cro- 
 chets in the first double crochet underneath at the 
 beginning of every row. Widen in this way until 
 there are 37 double crochets in a row, and then 
 make rows of 37 double crochets each, until the 
 remaining end of the tie is as long as desired. 
 
 By widening and narrowing after the method 
 directed above, the tie can be made of any favorite 
 shape or size preferred. 
 
 Crocheted U.mbrella-Case. 
 
 No. 8. — A very pretty case or cover for an 
 umbrella is here re|)resentcd, ami as it may l>c 
 
 e 
 
 easily made it will no doubt l)ecome very |M)pular. 
 The case may be crocheted in two ways, and, 
 according to the style and lightness of the work, 
 will re«iuire from one and a-half to two balls of 
 knitting silk. It may be of any color pleasing to 
 individual taste, but as a rule black is generally 
 chosen. To make the tasc, proceed as follows: 
 Cover a metal ring just large enough to slip over 
 the tip <if the umbrella and rest against the silk 
 with single (rochet stitches; then work chains of 
 three or four stitches eac h and single crochets in 
 every other stitch around this ring as seen in the 
 engraving, for the first row. Rei)eat the < hains for 
 the next row, catching them with single crochets in 
 the middle of the first chains; and so on until the 
 ca.se is as long as 
 re(|uired. 
 
 By the other 
 method, make 
 thirty-six singlc 
 crochets over the 
 ring, and then 
 one double cro- 
 I het in each of 
 the singles, for 
 the first row, and 
 repeat the rows 
 of doubles until 
 the case is long 
 enough. At the 
 top of the case 
 (made either 
 way) crochet a 
 dainty scollop for 
 a finish, and run 
 a tasseled silk 
 cord or a ribbon 
 through the top 
 spaces to tic the 
 case, as seen in 
 the engraving.

 very inexpensive, as well 
 as easy to make. 
 
 It is made of < rochet 
 silk, used double, and is in

 begin it, make a chain of 
 15 sti.ches; then turn and 
 make 12 double crochets 
 in this chain for the first 
 row, catching the first 
 double into the third 
 stitch from the hook. 
 Make 12 rows, narrowing

 where you turn, make 2 
 chain before making the 
 first double crochet. This 
 will keep the edge and 
 
 rows even. Tie strands of silk into the lower end 
 of the fob to form a fringe, and fasten a fob hook, 
 which may be obtained at a jewelry or fancy

 THE ART OF CROCHETING. 
 
 For one side make a row of double crochets for 
 the foundation. Above this make two rows of 
 blocks in checker-board pattern, in the two colors 
 worked alternately. 'I'he blocks are made 3 double 
 crochets wide and 2 rows deep. After making 
 these 2 rows, make 3 rows of half-double crochet, 
 using the colors alternately; then 2 more rows of 
 blocks, and finish with 6-star stitch worked back 
 and forth. Narrow the wurk as required by the 
 pattern. 
 
 For the other side, use the two colors also, and 
 begin as before with a row of double crochets. 
 * Then work 4 rows of tricot (two of a color), pick- 
 ing up the stitches from the iatrk of the work; i 
 row of double crochet worked through the loop of 
 each stitch ; then two rows of knob tricot (see 
 
 color in the next stitch, and repeat these details, 
 always keeping the unfastened chains in front of 
 the hook. Across the lower edge catch the chains 
 through the twists of the double crochets, instead 
 of through the top. Complete the toj) of the cosey 
 with loops formed of chains of the two colors. 
 
 Black and yellow, black and red, orange and 
 gray or any combination jireferred may be used for 
 such a cosey; and any one familiar with a variety of 
 stitches may diversify the work to suit personal taste.

 directions, page 14), then another row of double 
 crochets; repeat from * and finish with the 6-star 
 stitch to correspond with the other side. 
 
 Join the sides with single crochet. Then begin at 
 one corner and work around the lower edge and over 
 the joining with the two colors alternately on the 
 edge; this looks like a twisted cord when finished. 
 It is made as follows: Catch one color at a corner 
 of the work and make a chain of 3; slip the hook 
 out, fasten the other color in the next stitch and 
 make another chain of 3, and also slip the hook 
 out; now fasten the first chain with a single cro- 
 chet in the 3rd stitch, and crochet another chain 
 of 3; slij) the hook out and fasten the chain of the 
 other color in the 4th stitch and make another 
 chain of 3; then fasten the last chain of the first 
 
 15. — This mat is very pretty for use under 
 bottles or vases; or, made in very fine 
 it forms a dainty doily for a cushion. It 
 is made as follows: 
 
 To make the Center. — Make a chain of 
 8 and join to form a circle; 2 chain to 
 take the place of a double crochet, and 
 then 19 double crochets into the circle, 
 joining the last one to the 2-chain first 
 made, with a slip stitch. Now 6 chain, 
 and then 19 treble crochets in the tojis 
 of the 19 double;; underneath, with 3 
 chain between, joining the last treble to 
 the 4th stitch of the first 6-chain. Now 
 
 4 chain to take the place of a treble and 
 then 2 trebles into the first space of the 
 trebles underneath, keeping the last 
 stitch of each on the hook and working 
 through all of them together; 5 chain 
 and make another similar group of 3 
 trebles in the next space, and repeat the 
 
 5 chains and groups in all the spaces. 
 Work with a slip stitch to the middle 
 
 of the first 5 -chain; then make a row of 
 7 chains, caught, at the middle of the 
 spaces underneath with single crochets. 
 To f/iake the Braid Scollops. — Take 
 the braid and catch the thread in a 
 loop of it; make * 9 chain, skip 4 loops 
 and catch with a single crochet in the 
 next one, and repeat 3 times more from 
 *; make i single crochet in each of the 
 next 18 loops; * 4 chain and catch in 
 the middle of the opposite 9-chain; 4 
 chain, skip 4 loops and catch in the next 
 loop, and repeat 3 times more from *. 
 Now lay the braid together, and in tricot style take 
 up together 17 loops of the double braid; work back 
 also in tricot style, to join the braid between the 
 scollops as seen in the engraving. Now make 9 
 chain, skip 4 loops and catch in the next loop; 9 
 chain, skip 4 loops and catch in the next loop; 
 make 4 chain, 2 treble crochets in the loop last 
 used, leaving the last stitch of each on the hook, 
 and finally working through all the stitches left on 
 the hook together; skip 4 loops and make 2 trebles 
 in the next loop, working off as before, 3 chain and 
 catch in last loop used; 9 chain, skip 4 loops and 
 make i single crochet in each of the next 18 loops; 
 4 chain and catch in the middle of the opposite 9- 
 chain; 4 chain, skip 4 loops and catch in the next 
 loop; 3 chain and make 2 trebles in the loop last

 used, for a 3rd group, working them off as before, 
 and catch with a slip stitch to the center of the - 
 groups of trebles; now skip 4 loops, and mak,- 2 
 trebles in the next loop, and close this group of 2 
 trebles; now 4 chain to make a 3rd treble and 
 fasten in the last loop used, with a single crochet- 
 4 chain and catch in the middle of the opposite 
 9-chain; 4 chain, skip 4 loops and catch in the 
 next loop; 4 chain, catch in the middle of the 
 opposite chain; 4 chain, skip 4 loops and catch in 
 next loop; now fold the braid together and join by 
 tricot stitch as jjcfore to begin the third scollop. 
 Repeat these two scollops until there are 20 scollops. 
 To Join the Ccnhr to the Sco/lops.—Cvitc\\ at the 
 middle of one of the outer spaces of the center, 
 make 4 chain, a group of 3 trebles in the point of 
 each scollop (see engraving), 4 chain and catch in 
 middle of next space of center, and repeat all 
 around the work. 
 
 Butterfly Table Mat. 
 
 No. 16.— Such mats are generally made in sets of 
 five, — one large, two smaller, 
 and two still smaller ones — of 
 fine macrame cord or of Dexter 
 cotton, and are generally of one 
 color, though two may be used. 
 
 For the largest size, make a 
 chain of 34 stitches; for the 
 middle size a chain of 27, and 
 for the smallest size a chain of 
 20. These chains are at the 
 middle of the mats. 
 
 After making the foundation 
 chain of the length desired, 
 turn, skip 3 stitches, and then 
 make i double crochet in each 
 of the remaining stitches, mak- 
 ing 7 doubles in the end stitch; 
 then work double crochets 
 along the other side of the 
 chain until the end is reached, 
 and in the end stitch make 7 
 doubles to correspond with the 
 first 7, and join to the top of 
 the I St double crochet made. Now make 2 chain, 
 ski|) I stitch and work a double crochet in the back 
 part of every stitch until within 1 double from the 
 7 doubles; then in each of the 7 doubles make 3 
 doubles, skip one, and work the other side and end 
 to correspond. The mat is made round and round, 
 and in every row of the plain doubles 1 stitch is 
 ski]>ped at each side of each end. The scollops 
 are worked as follows: For the 3rd row, work in 
 the center of each grouj) of the 3 doubles in the 
 2nd row, 4 doubles with i chain between the 
 2nd and 3rd stitches. In the next row make 
 6 doubles separated similarly in the middle by 
 1 (hain; in the next row 8 similar douliles, 
 and so on, increasing by 2 double crochets in 
 every group of each row, until the mat is of the 
 recpiired size. 
 
 To Miike the Chain- Work. — Make chain* of 3 
 caught with a single crochet in every other »tit« h 
 
 along the sides until the first si ollops are reached; 
 then make similar chains down the side of the scol- 
 lop and bai k again, catching then) around the 
 stitt hes in the spaces; continue around the edge of 
 the scollop and then down and back as before, 
 between the 1st and 2nd >collops, and soon around 
 the ends, ntaking the same number of chains along 
 the edge of each scollop. 
 
 Centers For Table Mats. 
 
 (No IlliuiraUin*.) 
 
 .\ very i»retty center for table mats may !>e made 
 after the method u.sed for crocheting the garter 
 illustrated on page 141. A heavy cotton cord is 
 used as the foundation (in place of the clastic used 
 in the garter) and then fine macram^ cord or 
 Dexter cotton is crocheted over it. The mats may 
 be round or oblong, octagonal or of any sha|>e pre- 
 ferred, and are crocheted round and round the 
 same as the mat seen at No. 18, on the next page.

 ings. Make as many blocks as are required for 
 each mat and join them after the plan shown in 
 the engraving. 
 
 To make the Border. — Begin in a 2nd stitch from 
 one of the joinings; make a chain of 3 to take the 
 place of a double crochet, and then make a double 
 in the same space; skip 2 stitches and make 2 
 double crochets in the next stitch; skip 1 stitch, 
 and make 2 doubles in each of the ne.xt 3, skip 2 
 stitches, make 2 doubles in the next stitch, skip i 
 and make 2 doubles in each of the next 3, skip i 
 and make 2 doubles in the next, skip 2 and make 
 2 doubles in the next; work in this manner around 
 the mat, interrupting the order of the stitches 
 whenever it seems necessary, to keep the work fiat. 
 
 Second round. — Groups of 2 doubles each in the 
 middle of the groups underneath, arranging them 
 to keep the work flat. 
 
 Third round. — Croups of 4 double crochets in

 after each double. f^ach picot is made with 4 
 chain caught in the ist of the 4. Catch the groups 
 down with single crochets between the groups 
 underneath. 
 
 White, cream and ecru cottons and fine mac- 
 rame cord are all used for table mats ; and some- 
 times the border is edged with a picot finish of 
 rope silk.

 No. 19.— Something to keep eggs hot .iiic r iiuy

 To tnake a cosey, crochet a 1 hain of 6 and jom in 
 a ring. Work into the ring n smgle crcMhets. Ihen 
 work 4 doubles into the space between 2 smgle 
 crochets, keeping the 1 loop on the hook all through 
 till the 4th double is made; now pull the thread 
 through the loop kept on the needle and the doubles 
 will l>e drawn up into a little pulf. Cham 1 and 
 repeat the 4 doubles in next .{pace between single 
 crochets of ist row. Do this all around, and then 
 make the succeeding rows in the same way, always 
 putting the cluster of doubles between the clusters 
 of preceding row. Four rows of doubles, if single 
 zephyr is used, will make the cosy large enough to 
 just cover the egg. The leaves at the top are made 
 by making a chain with dark green worsted and 
 working double crochets over it, and either sewing 
 or crocheting it together in the form of a leaf. 
 The stem is made of two rows of single crochet. 
 The effect is good if some of the cosies are yellow 
 or red and some white, with the same green leaves 
 or calyx on both colors.

 THE ART OF CROCHETINU 
 
 137 
 
 Fancy Bag of Satin and Crocheted Rings. 
 No. 28. — The hag here illustrated is made of 
 satin, and its construction is so simjile that only 
 the briefest explanation is necessary. The top is 
 turned in and arranged to form a frill heading 
 above a casing in which are run ribbons that pull 
 in opposite directions, to draw it up to the proper 
 size and form loops to hang it by. For about two 
 thirds of the depth from the lower edge the bag is 
 covered with a network of rings, covered with em- 
 broidery silk shading in this instance, from deepest 
 to palest green, the shading being done so as to 
 
 No. 28.— Fanoy Uau ok Satin anh Ciuk-'Uktiuj Kwoh 
 
 bring the palest tint at the renter; and to the 
 lower rings arc attached tiny tassels which fomi 
 a pretty fringe for the lower edge. The '"«--tho<l 
 of making the ring-work has just l)ccn fully de- 
 scribed, so that details for covering the nngs will 
 not be needed. , 
 
 W hen the required number of rings arc covcrctl. 
 thev are sewed together to form the net-work deco- 
 rating the bag. .\ very elegant efTect may br 
 obtained by commencing with the lightest shade of 
 the selected color and grading; the rows f. the very 
 darkest. For instance, taking the gold shade*. 
 
 begin with white and shade down to the deepest 
 orange; for the red shades, begin with the lightest 
 pink and grade down to the deci>est crimson; in 
 blue, purple green and gray the same method of 
 shading may be pursued. Shading from light to 
 dark is more effective than from dark to light, but 
 either method may be followed. If the material 
 for covering has to be purchased, it will probably 
 be well to know that in shading from light to dark 
 tints the second shade will need to be double the 
 amount of the first, the third three times that of 
 the first, the fourth four limes that of the first 
 amount, and so on. Brass rings of any |>referred 
 size may be used, but they should all be alike. 
 Small rings may be covered with embroidery silks 
 or flosses, but for large rings this would l>c a very 
 expensive covering, so crewels, zephyrs, worstetls. 
 Saxony yams, chenilles or any of the thick em- 
 broidery materials may be used. For brae kcts or 
 small lambreciiiins, the small rings are prettiest. 
 Rings may be made of ordinary thick wire, if the 
 rings raniiot be readily purchased; but care should 
 be taken to have them perfect in shape, otherwise 
 they will not look well. The tassels may be made 
 at home, but, as they are not expensive, they are 
 generally purcha.sed. 
 
 A fringe formed by knotting strands of em- 
 broidery silk into a row of small covered rings is 
 an exipiisite finish for a delicate silk scarf or drap- 
 ery, and for cushions that are to be set upon dainty 
 toilette tables or dressing cases. 
 
 There are many other uses to which the cro- 
 cheted ring-work may be applied with very effect- 
 ive results, one being the elaboration of handstime 
 sofa cushions. A rich looking cushion, thus ela- 
 borated, is covered with satin of one of the lightest 
 shades seen in growing ivy. The upi)er side has 
 an outer covering composed of rings in two sizes, 
 one being about as large as the top of a niinibir 
 seven thimble, while the other is a little sm.ilkr 
 than a silver quarter of a dollar. After an ei|ual 
 numljcr of each size has been prepared by cro- 
 cheting over them with silk a shade darker than

 stitch may be used if 
 
 No. 30. — l^RociirrEb Kimjt Waiuieu. 
 
 article intended for the use of invalids or those 
 who suffer from cold feet while reclining or sitting. 
 It is made of double Germantown wool in two 
 colors — |)eaioi;k-blue and bron/e and has a dark- 
 red lining, also <-.rocheted. The outside and 
 lining are each 19J-4 inches long and 35 'j inches 
 around. 
 
 To make the OulsiJt. — The engraving at No. 31 
 shows how the warmer is worked, the stitch being 
 single c:rochet. It is begun at the bottom by a 
 center < hain of 28 stitches, and single c rochets are 
 worked on each side of this chain to form a foim- 
 dation of 56 stitches. Then the singles arc worked 
 round and round to form a bag like that seen in 
 the illustration. In making the bag or warmer 
 illustrated, 3 rounds of the blue wool, alternating 
 with I of the bronze, are worked until the bag is 
 of the dimensions mentioned. Then the picot 
 edge seen at No. 31 is added as follows: i double 
 crochet in every other stitch, with 4 chain caught 
 in the ist of the 4 for the picot, between the 
 doubles. 
 
 To make the Lininf^. — Work the same as the out- 
 side in the red wool for 19 rows. Slip it into the 
 outer bag ynd fasten it invisibly in place at the top 
 and bottom. Run a tasseled cord into the spaces 
 below the picot.s, an<l finish the corners also with 
 tassels. 
 
 If preferred Angora wool could l>c used for the 
 lining. 
 
 Crocheted Perfume Sa»:het. 
 
 (No llliwinllaa ) 
 These dainty articles may be made of silk or 
 wool in any fancy stitch preferred that is close 
 
 enough to conceal the cotton batting generally 
 pla< cd within them. Or, a very open lace like 
 a silk lining is added before 
 the cotton is inserted. 
 
 Sachets of this descrip- 
 tion, of miniature size, may 
 be made for placing in a 
 baby's basket and are very- 
 attractive accessories. In 
 larger sizes they are nice to 
 place in the dressing-case or 
 hang in the wardrobe. 
 
 Having decided upon the 
 size crochet two scpiare sec- 
 tions, each of the dimen- 
 sions required. Now place 
 between them a very thin 
 layer of cotton batting 
 sprinkled with sachet pow- 
 ;* der and folded together so 
 
 that the powder will not fall 
 out. Then with single cro- 
 chets join the two sections 
 through all their edges, and 
 add a pretty border of 
 double crochets and scol- 
 lops. Run a cord or ribbon 
 through the holes in the 
 l«)rder at one side and draw 
 closely to form a tiny frill of the edge. Finish the 
 cord with tassels, or tie the ribbon in a bow.

 Laundry or Wash Bag. 
 Nos. 32, 33 AND 34. — This bag is crocheted 
 
 
 chains, narrowing at each side as you work, so 
 that the bottom of the gore (which comes at the 
 middle of the bag) will be a point. Then join a 
 gore to each side by over-and-over stitches or 
 single crochet, and around the top crochet a 
 border according to illustration No. 34, as fol- 
 lows: Two rows of double crochets with single 
 chains between; i row of single crochets, then 
 a row of trebles. Make an edge thus: i single 
 crochet in a space between the trebles, then 5 
 chain and 1 double into the ist stitch of the 
 chain, then i single crochet into the next space, 
 5 chain, i double as before and so on around 
 the work. The diagonal strip with the German 
 word " Wasche " upon it is canvas, and the

 made of any size 
 required, either for 
 soiled handkerchiefs 
 or the general wash. 
 
 For the sides of 
 the bag make a 
 chain as long as 
 you desire for the 
 width of the bag; 
 then crochet back 
 and forth in chains, 
 double and single 
 crochets as seen at

 you have a strip 
 long enough to 
 form both sides of 
 the bag. 
 
 For the gore at

 The strip is ajjplied 
 with a fancy-stitch 
 done with similar

 wooden rods (or 
 brass rods) are in-

 treble crochets, and 
 a heavy crocheted 
 cord is attached to 
 the corners by 
 which to hang the

 Similar bags may 
 be made in smaller 
 sizes for holding a

 THE ART OF CROCHETING. 
 
 HI 
 
 Crocheted Silk Purse, with Beads. 
 
 No. 35. — String the beads on the silk. Make 
 a chain of 70 stitches and join. Crochet in a 
 bead in every i of 5 single crochet stitches, 
 then crochet 5 stitches without beads. Do the 
 same for 5 rows, then cro- 
 chet in the beads over the 
 plain stitches, and the plain 
 stitches over the beads. Do 
 this for five rows more and 
 again reverse. 
 
 Repeat this alternation 
 every 5 rows, till 6 rows of 
 blocks of beads are made 
 forming the st|uare end of 
 the purse. Then crochet 2 
 plain rows without beads. 
 Then commence the middle 
 of the purse by working 2 
 rows of double crochet, i 
 stitch in every second single 
 crochet in the first row. In 
 the third double-crochet 
 row, tu'^ the hook when 
 the row is finished and work 
 back instead of continuing 
 around the circle as before. 
 
 Keep on working back 
 and forth for 15 rows, 
 
 or longer if you wish a long purse. Then join 
 the circle again, and work 2 double-crochet rows. 
 Then make i row of single crochet, 2 stitches i:i 
 every double stitch, then another single crochet. 
 Now work a bead in every loth stitch. Next row, 
 a bead in every 9th and loth. Next, a bead in every

 8th, 9th, and loih, and so on, increasing a bead 
 every time until you have a bead in every stitch. 
 
 Work in beads in every stitch in all the succeed- 
 ing rows. After 2 full rows of l)eads, bepin to nar- 
 row every loth stitch by omitting a stit< h. The 
 next row narrow every 9th stitch, and the next 
 narrow every 8th, and so on to the end. Do not 
 carry it to i stitch, as it will make ihc pomt too 
 long. Close up when 4 or 5 arc still in the row. 
 Finish with a tassel ami fringe formed of the bea«ls. 
 It is best to put on. the rings before working the 
 round end, as it is sometimes ditticult to get the 
 rings over the beads and silk when fini>hed. The 
 opening may be marked with a double-crcx hct 
 row of black or of lighter silk as in illustration. 
 Garnet and steel are a goo<l combination. 
 
 Garter Crocheted Over Elastic. 
 
 Nos. 36 and 37. — The garter may be made with 
 twisted cotton or purse silk of any desired color 
 in single crochet over black or white elastic. No. 
 37 shows a piece of the work in good size, on which 
 the colors are changed by 
 working off the last mesh of 
 one color with the first of 
 another, the laid off thread 
 being then crocheted in on 
 the wrong side. In beginning 
 the garter make a chain foun- 
 dation the size of the leg 
 (reckoned a little tight); close 
 in a circle and put the elas- 
 tic on. Work round and 
 round and always put the 
 hook through the whole up]>er 
 mesh-link. It is better to 
 measure the length of the 
 elastic all in one piece for the 
 5 rows, so that it may be con- 
 nected in t" of them. The 
 edge-scollops are crocheted 
 with I single and 5 double 
 crochets caught into i mesh- 
 link, 2 edge-stitches being 
 skipped each time. 
 
 A garter crocheted in yel 
 low silk forms a pretty "Good-Luck" gift to be 
 presented at Kaster. 
 
 Miser's Purse. 
 
 (For Illuitntlon pre out Pig*.) 
 
 This purse is generally made of silk, though cro- 
 chet cotton is occasionally used for it. Its particu- 
 lar feature is in its closing which is under the laps, 
 and is accomplished by the chains connecting the 
 two ends, and which draw through the laps. 
 
 Make a loose-chain about 16 inches long; turn, 
 skip I stitch and in each of the next 38 stitches 
 make i double crochet. Now count 38 stitches 
 beginning at the other end of the chain, and in each 
 of these 38 stitches make i double crochet, first

 of the stitch. Make another long chain like the 
 second one, and work double crochets along those 
 first made, as in the other end. Repeat in this way 
 until there are 17 chains. Now work back double 
 crochets along the last doubles made until the 
 chains are again reached. Then make a chain of 
 15 to begin the la]); turn and work back 14 double 
 crochets along this chain; now remove the hook 
 from the work, lift the second long chain over the 
 edge of the work so that it will lie in front of the 
 last (14th) double crochet made; then ])ick up the 
 loop of this double crochet and also the thread in 
 the usual manner, and goon with the doubles to the 
 end of the row. This will allow the ^<(C//</ chain to 
 slip back and forth between the 14th and 15th 
 double crochets. Make 2 chain and work back 38 
 double crochets as before; now without removint? 
 the hook, lift the ////></ chain from the side of the 
 work away from you, over the work toward you, so 
 that it will lie in front of the last double crochet 
 made, and then go on with the double crochets to 
 the end of the lap. This will allow the /////-(/chain 
 to slip through the doubles the same as the first. 
 Now make 2 chain, and work back on the lap 14 
 stitches as before; then lift the 4th chain over the 
 work in the same way as the second, and repeat 
 these details until all the chains except the last one 
 are arranged to slip through the crochets. The ist 
 and 17th chains are left free. Join the edges of the 
 sides and end with single crochets. In arranging 
 these chains as directed, the thread and chains will 
 become somewhat twisted and may lead the worker 
 to the conclusion that the work is wrong. This is 
 not the case however. The confusion of thread 
 and chains is unavoidable and at the last chain the 
 work will straighten out as if by magic. In arrang-

 ing the chains, pull them occasionally to see that 
 they slip easily. 
 
 For the opposite end of the purse, tie the silk at 
 the end of the first chain to begin the lap. Make a 
 chain of 15 and work the double crochets and 
 chains and join the edges the same as at the other 
 end of the jjurse. Add a fringe of steel beads to 
 
 the ends and laps. Cover a metal ring with single 
 crochets, and slip it over the chains of the purse, 
 either before or after the fringe is added, according 
 to the size of the ring.

 A novel idea is to carry one of these little purses 
 worked in silk exactly matching the dress, and as 
 so many delicate shades are jjroduced in Belding's 
 "Superior" Silks, this can very easily be done. A 
 monogram in initial letters worked on one side in 
 lieads, is also a very jiretty device, adding much to 
 the beauty of the purse. 
 
 The frame can be ])urchased at any fancy store. 
 
 To make the Side-Portions. — Make a chain for 
 each of 36 stitches and work back in single cro- 
 chet. Work in the back part of each stitch for all 
 the rows.

 stitch, I single in each of the remaining stitches 
 except the last in which make 2.

 Thirty-fourth row. — Single crochets, skipping 
 first and last stitches. 
 
 Thirty-fifth to Sixty-fifth row. — Like thirty-third 
 and thirty-fourth rows. 
 
 This completes a side-portion. 
 
 For the End-Pieces. — Make 28 chain for each; 
 turn, I single crochet in every stitch of chain for a 
 foundation. 
 
 Second roiu. — Turn, make i chain, and single 
 crochets along the back edge of the foundation 
 stitches, making 4 singles in the last stitch of the 
 foundation for the lower end; and then make 27 
 single crochets along the side. 
 
 Third ro7L>. — Turn the work, i chain, and repeat 
 smgle crochets, widening at the end as necessary.
