 PREFACE. 
 
 THE following pages contain a selection of patterns 
 adapted to almost every purpose to which the art of 
 Crochet is applicable, whether as an useful or a 
 decorative species of work. Many of the designs 
 have been expressly composed for this little treatise ; 
 others have been selected, as being very effective, 
 from the chapter on Crochet in " THE HAND-BOOK 
 OF NEEDLEWORK ;" but the designs that have been 
 taken from the latter have been re-engraved. 
 
 In the directions for working the several designs, 
 the plan pursued by the writer (and apparently with 
 success) in her books on Knitting, has been adopted. 
 .She has aimed at simplicity, and the use of as few 
 words as possible, consistent with a clear explanation 
 of the subject.

 ROCHET, a species of knitting 
 originally practised by the peasants 
 in Scotland, with a small hooked 
 needle called a shepherd's hook, 
 aided by taste and fashion, has, with- 
 in the last seven years, obtained the pre- 
 ference over all other ornamental works 
 of a similar nature. It derives its present 
 name from the French ; the instrument 
 with which it is worked being by them, from 
 its crooked shape, termed "crochet." This
 
 10 MISS LAMBERT'S 
 
 art has attained its highest degree of perfection 
 in England, whence it has been transplanted 
 to France and Germany, and both these coun- 
 tries, although unjustifiably, have claimed the 
 invention. Crochet has been applied, with 
 considerable success, to the production of nu- 
 merous useful and decorative articles, such as 
 shawls, table-covers, couvre-pieds, pillows, ot- 
 tomans, chairs, rugs, slippers, bags, cabats, 
 purses, caps, waistcoats, and the like. Silk, 
 wool, cotton, chenille, and gold, are all suitable 
 materials for this description of work, but the 
 purpose for which it is intended must necessa- 
 rily determine their choice. 
 
 Crochet has the recommendation of being a 
 less intricate method of working than knitting, 
 and therefore claims a more extensive cultiva- 
 tion than perhaps it has hitherto met with. It 
 is particularly adapted for making articles for 
 charitable purposes ; hence, the instruction of 
 children in blind schools, in this easy and use-
 
 CROCHET SAMPLER. 11 
 
 ful art, is well worthy the attention of phi- 
 lanthropists. Waistcoats, shawls, knee-caps, 
 sleeves, comforters, mittens, gloves, etc., may 
 be made, without difficulty, in crochet. It has 
 not, however, been deemed necessary in the 
 following pages to give directions for any of 
 these simple articles, as, when the crochet 
 stitch is acquired, the modes of working such, 
 and a variety of others, in daily use, will rea- 
 dily present themselves. As an example of the 
 double appropriation, which almost all the fol- 
 lowing directions admit of, we may instance 
 the bottom of a bag ; this, if commenced with 
 a chain of about fifty stitches (not joining the 
 ends), and worked in coarse wool, with a large 
 needle, in rows backwards and forwards, gra- 
 dually increasing with a seam stitch, will form 
 a warm and comfortable round cape. A paper 
 pattern, the size of any desired object, can 
 easily be cut, and the making a stitch at 
 the commencement, or the decreasing: in the 
 
 ' O
 
 12 MISS LAMBERT'S 
 
 middle, or the end of a row, and vice versa, 
 render this work subservient to almost any 
 form. 
 
 For large pieces of work, when wool is em- 
 ployed, that kind denominated fleecy, either 
 English or German, is generally to be preferred. 
 This material, of a six-thread size, with an 
 ivory needle, offers the easiest kind of work 
 with which we are acquainted. It may be 
 readily learned, and has, therefore, been much 
 practised, both by invalids, and by persons 
 whose sight either needs relief, or has become 
 impaired. All striped patterns, if desired, may 
 be worked in narrow breadths, and joined in 
 the dividing lines ; so that a table cover may 
 be made in four or six lengths, and afterwards 
 sewn together with wool, without the least de- 
 triment to its appearance. Crochet may be 
 executed with coarse and fine chenille, for pil- 
 lows, bags, caps, and waistcoats ; with crochet 
 silk, for caps, slippers, and bags ; with coarse
 
 CROCHET SAMPLER. 13 
 
 netting silk, it forms strong purses, bags, and 
 slippers ; and the most delicate work may be 
 done with the finer silks. Gold and silver 
 cord, and passing, may be intermixed with the 
 chenilles and silks, or employed separately ; 
 and gold and steel beads, first strung on the 
 silk, may be worked in various patterns, so as 
 to produce the most rich and beautiful effect. 
 
 Crochet may be divided into plain single 
 crochet, plain double crochet, plain stitch open 
 crochet, and open crochet with one, two, three, 
 or more stitches. These varieties will be de- 
 scribed, as they occur, in the following direc- 
 tions for working. 
 
 The mode of working the crochet stitch, 
 although in itself most simple, is difficult to 
 describe in writing ; but, with the aid of the 
 annexed engraving, which shows the position 
 of the hands, and the manner in which the 
 needle and the work should be held, we will 
 endeavour to explain the elementary process.

 MISS LAMBERT'S 
 
 Having wound a skein of wool, make a loop 
 at one end ; through this loop draw another 
 loop, through this second loop another, and so 
 on, moderately tightening each, as it is drawn 
 through, until a chain of sufficient length be 
 made to serve as the foundation for the article 
 intended to be worked. Pass the needle 
 through the last loop of this foundation, and 
 catching the wool, draw it through, repeating 
 the same at every successive loop ; then, return 
 along this row, and, in a similar manner, form 
 a second. A repetition of this process, alter- 
 nately backwards and forwards, from right to
 
 CROCHET SAMPLER. 15 
 
 left, and from left to right, will give the first 
 and easiest lesson. The work will be the same 
 on both sides, producing, by turns, one raised 
 and one sunken row. 
 
 Before proceeding further, however, it will, 
 be necessary, for the better understanding of 
 the directions hereafter offered, to give an 
 
 ISvplanatton of the STerms usetr tit OTrocftet 
 
 THE CROCHET NEEDLE. 
 
 A chain, the foundation, formed by a suc- 
 cession of loops drawn one through the other. 
 
 Plain single crochet, where one loop only 
 is made on the needle, and drawn through 
 each stitch. It is lighter and thinner than 
 double crochet. 
 
 Plain double crochet, where two loops 
 are kept on the needle, and the wool drawn
 
 16 MISS LAMBERT'S 
 
 through both before the stitch is finished. This 
 is the crochet stitch generally practised, and 
 that used for working table-covers, etc. 
 
 Double stitch crochet, in this, both meshes 
 of the chain are taken. It is principally em- 
 ployed for the soles of shoes, and where extra 
 thickness is required, but it is not suitable for 
 working patterns. 
 
 Plain stitch elastic crochet, is worked alter- 
 nately in rows backwards and forwards, from 
 right to left and from left to right, always tak- 
 ing the under mesh of the chain. 
 
 PLAIN STITCH OPEN CROCHET. 
 
 No. 1. 
 
 Plain stitch open crochet, is composed of 
 chains, of five stitches each in length, forming 
 loops, each fifth stitch being crocheted to the
 
 CROCHET SAMPLER. 17 
 
 centre stitch of the corresponding loop in the 
 preceding row, as shown in the engraving. It 
 is mostly used for purses. 
 
 OPEN CROCHET. 
 
 HIM 
 
 No. 2. 
 
 Open crochet is worked (as nearly as can 
 be described) as follows : make a chain of the 
 length required ; work one plain stitch at the 
 beginning. Bring the silk round the needle, 
 and pass the needle through the first loop of 
 the chain ; through this bring the silk, which 
 makes three stitches on the needle ; draw the 
 silk through the first two stitches, which leaves 
 two on the needle ; then draw the silk through 
 these two, which leaves one on the needle ; 
 through this one, make one plain stitch. Put
 
 18 MISS LAMBERT'S 
 
 the silk over the needle, and bring it through 
 the third loop of the chain ; the three stitches, 
 as before, will now be found on the needle ; 
 draw the silk through the first two, which leaves 
 two on the needle ; draw the silk through these 
 two, which finishes the stitch, and leaves one 
 upon the needle as before. The plain stitch 
 that is then made between the two double 
 stitches, allows for the stitch which was passed 
 in the chain, and leaves an open space. It is 
 suitable for purses, bags, etc. 
 
 DOUBLE OPEN CHOCHET. 
 
 No. 3. 
 
 Double open crochet, similar to the open 
 crochet stitch, but varied by making the two
 
 CROCHET SAMPLER. 19 
 
 long stitches together ; this is done by omit- 
 ting the single stitch, and passing the needle 
 through the next loop of the chain, instead of 
 missing one stitch ; thus producing two stitches 
 together, and then an open space. It is suit- 
 able for bags, purses, &c. . 
 
 TREBLE OPEN CROCHET. 
 
 No. 4. 
 
 Treble open crochet, also similar to the pre- 
 ceding, but varied by making three stitches 
 successively, without making any plain stitch, 
 which produces alternate squares of open space 
 and stitches. Beads may be introduced on it 
 with very good effect in the following manner : 
 let the beads be threaded on the silk, and 
 pass one on the middle stitch of the three
 
 20 MISS LAMBERT'S 
 
 double stitches, giving a bead in the centre of 
 each square. This stitch makes a very pretty 
 purse. 
 
 To make a stitch, at the commencement 
 and end of a row, is to make one stitch of a 
 chain before the first stitch, and after the last, 
 which in the next row are to be crocheted. 
 
 A dividing, or seam stitch, called also a 
 raised stitch, is made by putting the needle 
 through both meshes of the chain, and working 
 two stitches in the same hole. These stitches 
 must always be made exactly over each other. 
 In crocheting circles they form a kind of star 
 pattern, and serve the purpose of increasing 
 stitches. They should not be employed when 
 working with chenille. 
 
 To increase a stitch, to make two stitches 
 in the saie loop. 
 
 To decrease, to take two stitches together, 
 or to miss one stitch. Decreasing is always 
 done in the same ratio as increasing.
 
 CROCHET SAMPLER. 21 
 
 True or perfect stitch, when working in 
 different colours, the keeping the stitches di- 
 rectly over each other, without any appearance 
 of the half-stitch. This requires care, but it 
 greatly adds to the beauty of the work, and 
 makes the pattern more distinct. 
 
 To fasten off, to draw the wool through 
 the last stitch. 
 
 To fasten on, lay the ends of the wool 
 contrariwise, and crochet a few stitches with 
 both, or work in the second wool, and run the 
 end in with a needle at the back of the work. 
 
 To run the ends, to pass them down a 
 few stitches with a needle. This is the neatest 
 and strongest plan ; but they may be tied and 
 cut off. 
 
 A dividing line, generally formed of two 
 stitches alternately up and down, "-into the 
 ground of the stripes on either side. 
 
 N. B. The engravings of the patterns are 
 placed in the book as they are intended to be
 
 22 MISS LAMBERT'S 
 
 worked; that is, by commencing at the lower 
 part, on the right hand side. 
 
 f^fnts on Crochet. 
 
 A steel crochet needle is generally advisable ; 
 with expert workers, it makes the most even 
 stitches, but it is easier to work with an ivory 
 needle. 
 
 The second-sized netting silk is prettiest for 
 purses. 
 
 The coarsest, or crochet silk, is best adapted 
 for bags, with steel or gold beads. 
 
 Where many colours are required in a pat- 
 tern, and the same do not very frequently 
 occur, it is advisable to introduce them in 
 short lengths, instead of carrying on each 
 thread. This should always be attended to 
 when working with chenille. 
 
 When beads are used, they should be strung 
 on the silk with a needle.
 
 CROCHET SAMPLER. 
 
 When beads are introduced, the wrong side 
 of the work becomes the right. It is possible 
 to crochet with the beads on the right side, 
 but they never lay so firmly, nor indeed is it 
 the proper way of using them. 
 
 The average number of stitches for the 
 length of a purse, in fine silk, is one hundred 
 and sixty. In coarse silk, one hundred and 
 ten. 
 
 From ninety to one hundred stitches form 
 the circle of a purse in fine silk. 
 
 One hundred and thirty stitches may be 
 taken for the round of a bag, in crochet silk. 
 
 A table-cover, in six-thread fleecy, is gene- 
 rally computed at about four hundred stitches 
 in length. 
 
 Borders of flowers, and very intricate pat- 
 terns, may be worked in crochet, but it would 
 be impossible to convey a complete idea of these 
 even to the most experienced worker, without 
 greatly exceeding the limits of the present
 
 24 MISS LAMBERT'S 
 
 work. The expert needle-woman will soon per- 
 ceive the best method of copying any pattern of 
 this description she may desire. 
 
 The terms chine and ombre, are frequently 
 applied to the materials employed in crochet 
 and knitting. Wool and silk are chine, when 
 two, three, or more different colours are in- 
 troduced, at intervals, on one thread, in the 
 process of dying ; they are ombre, when one 
 colour only is similarly employed, but which 
 gradually runs from the lightest to the darkest 
 shade. 
 
 N. B. In the directions for working the dif- 
 ferent patterns in crochet, it must be borne in 
 mind, that unless any other stitch be men- 
 tioned, the plain, or double crochet stitch, is 
 always to be employed. 
 
 & Sofa Jftllofo, o 
 This is merely given as the first and easiest
 
 CROCHET SAMPLER. 25 
 
 pattern in crochet, for the purpose of teaching 
 the stitch. 
 
 A good-sized ivory or steel crochet needle, 
 with six-thread fleecy, will be required. In- 
 stead of working: the rows backwards and for- 
 
 o 
 
 wards, as before described, begin each row 
 Separately at the same end. When the last 
 stitch of each row is finished, draw the wool 
 through, and cut it off, leaving an end of two 
 or three inches. It is impossible to determine 
 the exact number of stitches, that must de- 
 pend on the article, and its required size; but 
 with this description of wool, half a yard in 
 length will generally be found to number about 
 sixty-five stitches, and a calculation may ac- 
 cordingly be made. 
 
 First stripe one row black ; one row white ; 
 one row black. 
 
 Second stripe one row dark scarlet ; one 
 bright scarlet ; one light scarlet ; reverse the 
 same, to form a shaded stripe.
 
 26 
 
 MISS LAMBERT'S 
 
 Third stripe the same as the first. 
 Fourth stripe the same as the second, but 
 in shades of blue. 
 
 These stripes are to be repeated alternately. 
 
 No. 5. 
 
 The ground of this pattern is plain. The 
 cheques are composed of chine wool, the first 
 row differing in colour from that of the second. 
 The dividing line is in plain colours. 
 
 This pattern may be worked in stripes of 
 different colours, varying the colour of the 
 cheques agreeably to that of the ground. It 
 is adapted for a pillow, or a variety of other 
 articles, according to the material employed;

 Zephyr, or double German wool. 
 
 This pattern may be worked according to 
 the two following methods. The first is the 
 easiest, as one thread of wool only is required 
 to be carried on to form the pattern. 
 
 Commence with a chain and one row of 
 black. Second row scarlet. Third row 
 straw colour. 
 
 Crochet a stripe, consisting of seven rows of 
 imperial blue, with the pattern in chine wool 
 black, white, and scarlet.
 
 28 MISS LAMBERT'S 
 
 Repeat the three plain rows, as before, re- 
 versed, straw colour, scarlet, and black. 
 
 Crochet another stripe with drab, with the 
 pattern in chine wool blue, black, and white. 
 
 Commence again as at first. 
 
 The second method of working this pattern 
 is as follows, having the plain rows, and the 
 ground of the two stripes as before. Crochet 
 the figure of the blue stripe, 
 
 First row three stitches black. 
 
 Second row three stitches claret ; two 
 black. 
 
 Third row one stitch dark claret ; one gold 
 colour ; two dark scarlet ; one black. 
 
 Fourth row one stitch scarlet ; two gold 
 colour ; two scarlet. 
 
 Fifth row three stitches scarlet. 
 
 Crochet the figure on the drab stripe, 
 
 First row three stitches claret. 
 
 Second row three stitches dark green ; two 
 claret.
 
 CROCHET SAMPLER. 29 
 
 Third row one stitch middle green ; one 
 white ; two middle green ; one claret. 
 
 Fourth row one stitch light green ; two 
 white ; two light green. 
 
 Fifth row three stitches light green. 
 
 The above pattern may be worked for a 
 bag, with the same colours, using silk instead 
 of wool, and commencing with a chain of about 
 one hundred and thirty stitches, with No. 2 
 Crochet Silk. It is a very easy bag to work, 
 and, if wished to be more elegant, gold may be 
 introduced. This pattern, also, with the same 
 sized silk, will make a very pretty crochet 
 slipper.

 30 
 
 MISS LAMBERT'S 
 
 Then crochet one plain row of black, which 
 
 forms the ground of the first stripe. The pine 
 pattern on this stripe occupies five rows in 
 height; the first row blue; the second scar- 
 let ; the third green ; the fourth yellow ; the 
 fifth white. One plain row of black ; and
 
 CROCHET SAMPLER. 31 
 
 one row two stitches of black, and two of 
 amber, alternately ; followed by one plain 
 row of amber, complete the first stripe. 
 
 The ground of the second stripe is scarlet ; 
 the dividing lines, both at top and bottom, 
 imperial blue, the inner row of each being 
 composed of two stitches, alternately blue and 
 scarlet. The pattern occupies seven rows in 
 height ; the first row green ; the second 
 black ; the third blue ; the fourth amber ; 
 the fifth green ; the sixth stone colour ; the 
 seventh white. 
 
 The third stripe is imperial blue ; the divid- 
 ing lines amber ; the pattern, -first row 
 black ; second scarlet ; third white ; fourth 
 green ; fifth drab. 
 
 The fourth stripe is white ; the dividing 
 lines scarlet; the pattern, -first row green ; 
 second black ; third blue ; fourth scarlet ; 
 fifth green ; sixth lilac ; seventh light 
 green.
 
 32 MISS LAMBERT'S 
 
 Repeat from the first stripe. ^t - 
 
 This pattern, worked with six-thread fleecy, 
 will be found very easy and effective for a 
 table cover ; using a steel or ivory crochet 
 needle, according to the fancy of the 
 worker. 
 
 The same pattern, with the colours as above 
 described for the first and second stripes, with 
 No. 1 Crochet Silk, will make an extremely 
 elegant bag. This should be commenced with 
 a chain of about two hundred and sixteen 
 stitches, united at the two ends, whether for 
 a round, or square bag. Gold thread may be 
 substituted in the dividing lines, working only 
 one plain row, instead of two, as in the en- 
 graving. Five of the narrow, and four of the 
 wide stripes, will form a bag of an ordinary 
 size. 
 
 This pattern may be worked beautifully 
 with chenille, or with chenille and gold, for a 
 variety of purposes.

 may be worked in four, six, or eight-thread 
 fleecy, with a steel or ivory needle, according 
 
 to its appropriation. The colours required are 
 three distinct shades of green, two of scarlet, 
 two of blue, two of gold colour, two of lilac, 
 black, white, and geranium : the proper selec- 
 tion of these constitutes much of the beauty 
 of the pattern : the geranium colours should 
 be very bright. Commence with :

 This completes the pattern, which consists 
 of the same sprig repeated in different colours, 
 on three different coloured grounds. It will be 
 perceived that the sprigs run in a diagonal 
 direction ; and the commencement of the first 
 two rows of the fourth stripe, on referring to 
 the corresponding part of the previous stripe, 
 will show where the next sprig is to be begun. 
 
 If worked for a bag, or sac de voyage, the 
 pattern should be commenced from the bottom, 
 thus forming a border at the lower part ; but if 
 a pillow, table cover, orcouvre-pied, is intended 
 to be made, first crochet two plain rows, and 
 then commence the pattern as at the sixteenth 
 row.

 Raised, or ribbed crochet is worked in rows 
 from right to left, accord- 
 ing to the ordinary me- 
 thod ; but the side of the 
 work is reversed at every 
 alternate row, as in plain 
 crochet (see page 14), 
 hence it becomes the 
 same as that description 
 of work, with this ex- 
 ception, that the back, 
 or under stitch, is always 
 to be taken; it has there- 
 fore a ribbed or raised 
 appearance, and is ren- 
 dered thicker and closer, 
 and of a more elastic 
 texture.

 ing in raised crochet. The colour, forming the 
 pattern, should only be introduced when neces- 
 sary, and should not be carried on through the 
 ground, as in plain double crochet ; therefore, 
 the same thread must be taken up and dropt, 
 as the form of the pattern may require a 
 process by no means difficult. When neces- 
 sary, however, the idle wool should be carried 
 through the stitches of that in use, and not left 
 loose at the back. 
 
 The pattern here given is intended to be 
 worked in stripes ; these are afterwards to be 
 sewn together. It is very handsome for quilts, 
 couvre-pieds, &c. The colours may be varied, 
 thus first stripe, white, with the pattern in 
 scarlet; the second, scarlet, with the pattern 
 in white. Shaded wools may be used for the 
 pattern on a plain ground.

 purposes, where a border on each side may be 
 required. It may be worked either in plain 
 double crochet, or in raised crochet. A differ- 
 ent material, together with a different sized 
 needle, are the only requisites to adapt it to 
 any of the above purposes. Thus, 
 
 For a sofa pillow, eight-thread zephyr fleecy ;

 quilt, eight-thread zephyr fleecy ; for a bed 
 quilt, six-thread fleecy ; for a d'oyley, rather 
 fine knitting cotton. The size of the article, 
 however, must in the first instance be deter- 
 mined, and the number of stitches counted, so 
 as to bring in the pattern as suited to that size. 
 The simplest colouring will be the most effec- 
 tive, a plain ground, with the pattern in any 
 bright colour. Designs of this description,

 (in order to keep the circle flat), every other 
 stitch is to be made a seam or dividing stitch, 
 which is done by putting the needle under both 
 loops instead of one, and making two stitches, 
 in the same place, every other stitch being a 
 plain stitch. In the next row, work the seam- 
 stitch in the same place, leaving two plain

 Make a chain of fourteen stitches, join both 
 ends together with the crochet, and crochet 
 one plain row all round. In the next row, 
 every other stitch is to be made a seam or di- 
 viding stitch, which is done by putting the

 and making two stitches in the same place : 
 every other stitch being a plain stitch, on which

 is to be a bead. In the next row, work the 
 seam stitch exactly over the last, which will 
 leave two plain stitches between, instead of 
 one ; this is to be repeated until eight circles 
 are formed, every plain stitch having a bead 
 on it. Crochet eight rows more, leaving the 
 seam-stitch in the same place, but diminish the 
 number of beads, by leaving out one bead in 
 each division on each successive circle, so that 
 the last row will have but one bead in each di- 
 vision. Then, crochet four plain rows, keeping 
 the seam-stitch in the same place as before, 
 then one plain row all round, without a seam- 
 stitch, which forms the bottom of the bag.

 tinued until the diameter of the circle is about 
 six inches and a half. Work round this, in 
 plain rows, until the cap be sufficiently deep; 
 occasional increasing stitches may be made, if 
 it be not large enough. 
 
 The cap should be finished with a double 
 gold braid, meeting the points of the in- 
 creasing lines : a gold band round the bottom, 
 and a handsome tassel at the top may be added ; 
 or in the place of these, silk trimmings may be 
 substituted. It requires to be very neatly made

 The sides may be worked in open crochet, in- 
 troducing a few plain lines of black and gold 
 between each two rows of the open crochet. 
 
 The best colours for a cap in chenille are 
 black and gold ; dark blue, black, and gold ; 
 and claret, black, and gold. 
 
 Commence with a chain of about six stitches 
 in plain green netting silk ; crochet both ends 
 together ; work three plain rows of green, and 
 then one row of alternate stitches of dark scar- 
 let and green. 
 
 The scarlet silk will now form the ground, on 
 which the star pattern of green is to be worked. 
 Crochet a row with two stitches of green, and 
 two of scarlet, alternately ; in the next row,

 two of scarlet and three of green. Crochet, in 
 a similar manner, one row after another, in- 
 creasing on each row one stitch in the green 
 pattern, every time that colour is repeated, 
 until it counts seven stitches in each division ; 
 taking care to keep the two scarlet stitches of 
 the ground exactly over each other. 
 
 The pattern is now to be decreased, by 
 working four stitches of scarlet and five of 
 green ; in the next row, seven of scarlet and 
 three of green ; and in the next, ten of scar- 
 let and one of green ; increasing one stitch in 
 each division of the ground. 
 
 Work two plain rows of scarlet, increasing a 
 sufficient number of stitches to keep the work 
 flat, and finish with a kind of fringe, formed by 
 two rows of open crochet in green. 
 
 The chain is made by commencing with five 
 plain stitches, then putting the needle through

 the hack of the second stitch, and making one 
 plain stitch. It will be found, by twisting the 
 chain after every stitch, that one stitch appears 
 to go across,* this is the stitch that is always 
 to be taken and crocheted. 
 
 The light-coloured stripes composing this 
 slipper, are alternately buff and white : the 
 dark stripe between each is a full blue. Each 
 stripe is separated by a dividing line of black. 
 The colours of the pattern on each stripe, are 
 as follow : 
 
 Commence at the toe with the blue stripe, 
 the colours of the pattern being claret, gold 
 colour, and scarlet.

 The above pattern is intended for a slipper, 
 in German wool, or crochet silk, in stripes, 
 across the front, continued in the same direction 
 round the back. The colours of the different 
 stripes, commencing at the toe, are as fol- 
 low : 
 
 First stripe gold colour ; with the pattern 
 composed of black, green, white, bright scarlet, 
 and black.
 
 86 MISS LAMBERT'S 
 
 Second stripe blue ; the pattern in scarlet, 
 black, gold colour, white, and claret. 
 
 Third stripe (the centre of the engraving) 
 scarlet ; this stripe is wider than any other on 
 the slipper. The pattern on it is composed of 
 light green, dark green, black, light blue, and 
 gold colour, dark blue and claret, black, gold 
 colour and lilac, white and dark lilac, light 
 green, and dark green. 
 
 Fourth stripe white ; the pattern in blue, 
 yellow, lilac, green, and scarlet. 
 
 The narrow stripes are repeated round the 
 back of the slipper ; they are gold colour, blue, 
 scarlet, white, and green. 
 
 For a moderate-sized gentleman's slipper in 
 crochet silk, the toe might be commenced with 
 twenty-four stitches, and increased in the suc- 
 ceeding rows, until the width across the instep 
 were eighty stitches, but, as some persons 
 work so much tighter than others, a positive 
 number cannot be given. The silk also may
 
 CROCHET SAMPLER. 87 
 
 vary in size, as well as the dimensions required 
 for a slipper. The increasing is made by the 
 addition of a stitch on each side of the work. 
 
 The stripes in the front of the slipper are 
 gold colour, blue, scarlet, and white ; the latter 
 crosses the instep. Count the number of stitches 
 on the white stripe, and, with the gold colour 
 commence a stripe one third of its length on 
 one side, to form the back. Continue these 
 stripes, until the back be sufficiently long to be 
 sewn to the front on the other side. It is ad- 
 visable, before commencing a slipper, to cut a 
 paper pattern of the desired size and shape. 
 
 The above form chaussons to wear over the 
 shoes, the sole being formed of coarse crochet 
 in black ; or they may be made up in the usual 
 way for slippers, either for ladies or gentlemen. 
 In crochet silk they are extremely warm and 
 durable. The ends of the wool or silk, are 
 to be threaded with a needle, and run into the 
 work on the inside.

 & Purse. 
 
 Plain crochet-purses are exceedingly strong, 
 and may be made very prettily with a moderate 
 sized netting silk. Those, worked in rows the 
 length of the purse, are the most easily made. 
 
 Make a chain in scarlet netting silk of one 
 hundred and forty stitches, on which crochet 
 three plain rows with the samp colour. Then,, 
 five plain rows in shades of green, or stone 
 colour. These two stripes are to be < repeated 
 until the purse is of a sufficient width. When 
 completed, it is to be neatly sewn up, or joined 
 by crocheting the two sides together. The 
 ends are then to be drawn up, and the purse 
 trimmed.

 plain row all round. In the next row, every 
 alternate stitch is to be made a dividing or 
 seam-stitch ; this is done by passing the needle 
 under both the corresponding loops in the first 
 row, and making two stitches in the same place. 
 This dividing stitch is to be repeated in the 
 same place on each row, until ten rows are 
 worked ; when a sufficient number of plain 
 rows are to be crocheted according to the length 
 of the purse, until the side opening commences. 
 
 The opening of the purse is made by croch- 
 eting plain rows, alternately, from right to left, 
 and from left to right. When a sufficient num- 
 bet of these are done : 
 
 The plain rows are again to be worked, to 
 correspond with the former part ; but, instead 
 of the round end, it is to be left square, and 
 sewn up, with a tassel at either corner.

 Make a chain of one hundred and sixty, or

 one hundred and seventy stitches ; ^to the last 
 stitch of this, crochet a short chain of five 
 stitches, the last of which is again to be croch- 
 eted to the fifth stitch of the chain : repeat this 
 on the whole length of the foundation ; and 
 return along the row in the same way, by at- 
 taching every fifth stitch to the centre stitch of 
 each loop of the last row. The whole of the 
 purse is to be continued in the same manner, 
 but it may be varied, according to taste, by 
 using two or more colours. When the purse is 
 worked to the size desired, cut a piece of stiff 
 cardboard, and sew the purse firmly to it, the 
 wrong side outwards ; then, damp it with 
 water, and allow it to remain until dry. This 
 process will stretch the purse, tighten the 
 stitches, and bring them all into their proper 
 places. Then, having sewn or crocheted up 
 the sides, draw up the ends and put on the 
 trimmings. This purse should only be made 
 with fine silk.

 It is impossible to give the exact number of 
 stitches for the commencement of a chanceliere, 
 as each row varies ; it is advisable, therefore, 
 to cut the shape* in stiff paper, as a pattern,

 those parts where it is requisite to increase
 
 104

 the width of the work, it should be done by 
 making an extra stitch on each side. The

 The ground of the next stripe is black, on 
 which the pattern is to be worked in three 
 shades of gold colour. 
 
 Work a plain row of middle blue, which also 
 forms the ground of the small chain pattern, 
 with the exception of the centre row, which is 
 claret. The chain is in white. 
 
 Work a plain row of claret, and then repeat 
 the second stripe as before, with the colours re- 
 versed. 
 
 The above colours, if well chosen, are ex- 
 ceedingly pretty, but they may be varied ac- 
 cording to fancy. 
 
 The slipper pattern No. 23, and also the 
 Turkish pattern No. 12, are equally adapted 
 for a chancel iere. 
 
 The chanceliere should be made up on a 
 very firm foundation, and stuffed between the
 
 106 MISS LAMBERT'S 
 
 lining and the work with wool : the inside 
 should be made separate, and knitted in the 
 brioche stitch, with six or eight thread fleecy. 
 The ermine ruff, or trimming, of worsted, may 
 easily be procured, but if it cannot readily be 
 so, a thick knitted fringe, three or four times 
 doubled, will be a good substitute. The bot- 
 tom is formed of leather or cloth 
 
 & Square JSortor Dattrrn. 
 The annexed pattern is adapted for any 
 square requiring a border, such as a table 
 cover, mat, quilt, sofa cushion, couvre-pied, 
 etc. To render it easy, the centre may be 
 worked in the same colours as the border, 
 introducing any spot, sprig, or other small pat- 
 tern, the same colours being carried through 
 the whole, or slipped at the back. If, how- 
 ever, the plan of introducing ihe colour only 
 in the pattern be understood, it may here be 
 employed with advantage.

 This pattern requires three different coloured 
 wools in many of the rows. It is very hand- 
 some. The side border may be crocheted on. 
 
 Six-thread fleecy, and a steel needle, should 
 be used. 
 
 A Brioche (so called from its resemblance 
 in shape to the well known French cake of 
 that name), may be as easily worked in crochet 
 as in knitting. It may also be divided into 
 stripes or compartments, gradually decreasing 
 in breadth towards the top or centre of the
 
 CROCHET SAMPLER. 121 
 
 cushion, in the same manner as in the knitted 
 brioche. Various patterns may be introduced 
 in these stripes, but, when a very soft cushion 
 is desired, this is not advisable, as the extra 
 wool, then required to be carried through the 
 work, would render it of too firm a texture. 
 
 The following directions for working a 
 brioche in crochet will be found very simple, 
 and, at the same time, serve as a guide for 
 those of a more complicated nature. 
 
 Commence with a chain of seventy stitches 
 in eight-thread zephyr fleecy black. 
 
 First row black. 
 
 Second row gold colour. 
 
 Third row black. 
 
 The above three rows are all of an equal 
 length. Then, crochet fifteen rows in any 
 pretty colour, omitting four stitches at the 
 end of the first, and of each successive row, 
 so that in the last of these fifteen rows there 
 will be only ten stitches.
 
 122 MISS LAMBERT'S 
 
 Repeat the row of black, taking in each of 
 the four stitches omitted at the ends of the 
 last fifteen rows, as also the four stitches at 
 the top of the last row of black. Crochet one 
 row of gold colour, and one row of black, as at 
 the commencement, when one compartment 
 of the brioche will be completed, forming a 
 conical stripe. 
 
 Repeat the fifteen rows, omitting the four 
 stitches at the end of each row, as before di- 
 rected ; and continue as above until sixteen 
 similar compartments are worked ; this will be 
 found sufficient for an ordinary-sized brioche. 
 
 The colours of the stripes may be varied, 
 thus, blue, brown, scarlet, and stone colour, 
 in their order of succession, repeated four times, 
 will form a very pretty contrast, the dividing 
 stripe between each being formed of two rows 
 of black, with a row of gold between them. 
 Either chine or ombre wool may also be em- 
 ployed.
 
 CROCHET SAMPLER. 123 
 
 When finished, the brioche may be made up 
 either entirely soft, or with a stiff bottom of 
 mill-board, about six or eight inches in diame- 
 ter, covered with cloth or velvet. The top 
 should be drawn together, and fastened in the 
 centre, either with "a tuft of soft wool, or with 
 a cord and tassels, as represented in the pre- 
 ceding engraving. It should be stuffed with 
 down or fine combed wool.

 The above pattern will be found very easy 
 to work, in perpendicular stripes, for a bag, the 
 stripes being divided by two rows of treble 
 open crochet in gold. Each side of the bag is
 
 124 MISS LAMBERT'S 
 
 formed of four stripes of the above pattern, 
 and five stripes of the treble open crochet; 
 but, as the latter should form the outer edge at 
 the side of the bag, and cannot be worked with- 
 out a foundation, it will be necessary to begin 
 with the figured stripe in silk, and afterwards 
 to open the treble open crochet in gold on 
 either side of it. Therefore, 
 
 Commence with a chain in dark green 
 netting silk. The number of stitches must 
 depend on the size of the silk employed, 
 but a chain of about twelve inches in length 
 will be found sufficient for a bag of this 
 description. The bag should be worked in 
 one length. 
 
 First row dark green. 
 
 Second row two stitches of ponceau, and 
 two of dark green, alternately. 
 
 Third row ponceau. 
 
 In the fourth row the pattern commences 
 with two colours, the wave portion of the
 
 CROCHET SAMPLER. 125 
 
 pattern being in dark green ; with the bell in 
 a lighter shade of green ; the ground, ponceau : 
 or, the pattern may be worked in chine 
 greens. 
 
 Eight rows complete the pattern, when a 
 plain row of ponceau, a row of two alternate 
 stitches of ponceau and green, and a plain row 
 of green, finish the stripe. 
 
 Crochet two rows of treble open crochet in 
 gold ; and commence again with the pattern in 
 silk. 
 
 This bag when completed is about six inches 
 square ; it should be hemmed at the top, and 
 lined, and finished with strings and tassels. 
 
 The pattern No. 24, is also equally adapted 
 for a bag of this description ; but in the centre 
 of the work the pattern should be reversed, in 
 order that when the two sides of the bag are 
 folded together the pattern may run in the 
 same direction, as in the manner described for 
 the bag at page 113.

 in black four-thread fleecy : unite both ends, 
 and crochet all round, increasing on every 
 stitch for the fast row. 
 
 The pattern is then to be worked in three 
 shades of scarlet, on a ground composed of three 
 shades of green ; the darkest shade of the scar- 
 let being on the lightest shade of the green.

 The bolster should be made up by stuffing
 
 134 MISS LAMBERT'S 
 
 it with down or soft wool. A long crochet 
 band, worked similar to the green shaded 
 stripe, should be attached to either end, with a 
 small worsted tuft in the centre, by way of or- 
 nament. 
 
 Bags, worked in a similar manner to the 
 above, are frequently made ; these, however, 
 are not required to be so long. They are 
 fastened at the opening with strings or buttons. 
 They may be made with eight-thread zephyr 
 fleecy. 
 
 & Sitter fn 2atsrtr Crochet. 
 Raised, or ribbed crochet has already been 
 described at page 57. To work a slipper, 
 commence with a chain of seven stitches, and 
 crochet forty-six rows backwards and forwards, 
 observing to make three stitches in one loop 
 in the centre stitch of each row. This will 
 make a sufficient increase in each succeeding 
 row to form the front of the slipper, and at
 
 CROCHET SAMPLER. 135 
 
 the same time cause the ribbed rows to run in 
 an uniform diagonal direction on either side. 
 
 Having thus completed the front of the shoe, 
 crochet, on the right-hand side, a row of twenty- 
 six stitches, and work a sufficient number of 
 rows (about ninety) to form the back. The 
 end of this band is then to be sewn to the 
 other side of the front. 
 
 The sole of the slipper may be made either 
 of leather, or of crochet in coarse wool ; the 
 latter is most readily made by cutting the shape 
 in stiff paper, and then working it to the exact 
 size. The top of the slipper may be finished 
 with an ermine trimming of worsted.

 Commence with a chain of nine hundred 
 stitches in black eight-thread zephyr fleecy.

 and any pretty chine wool.

 By omitting a stitch in the centre of each 
 row, the shawl will assume, whilst working, a 
 pointed form, similar to that of a half square, 
 at the same time that the rows of crochet will 
 run in a diagonal direction from either side of

 the shawl has been determined upon, previously 
 to commencing the work, may easily be done 
 without interfering with the pattern, as by cal- 
 culating the number of stitches required, a 
 greater space of the ground where the stitches 
 are to be omitted between the two centre pines 
 may be allowed. For a square shawl, the bor- 
 der, if preferred, may be worked separately, 
 and afterwards sewn on.
