 Doi ble (d). Having a st on the needle, pul hook through work, 
 draw thread through work (making two loops on the needle) , 
 thread over again and through both loops, (This stitch has 
 been, especially in wool crochet, called "single crochet." But 
 it simplifies crocheting to call it "double crochet," after the 
 custom oi workers in Irish crochet; and thai eliminates entirely 
 the name "single crochet" ). 
 
 Half Treble (ht). Having a -4 on tin- needle, thread over needle, 
 l:-'. through work, thread over and through work, (having 
 three sts on the needle), thread over and through ail three

 Directions for Working 
 
 Where the words "Crochet Cotton" are used in the 
 text of this book, the cotton referred to is the hard- 
 twisted cotton known by such trade names as Cordon- 
 net, Cordonnet Special, Cordichet, Kord-net, etc., which 
 cm he purchased wherever needlework supplies are sold. 
 
 In working by the following, or any directions in 
 fact, allowance must be made for the different tension 
 of workers, and in the matter of chain stitch especially. 
 I hose who crochet rather loosely may find it advisable 
 to make one less chain stitch in various places; while 
 those who crochet tightly may find it an advantage to 
 add one or more chain stitches in places. This adap- 
 tation is more necessary in circular work than that of 
 straight rows 
 
 Since crochet-hooks vary, even in the most care- 
 fully graded kinds, it follows that onlv suggestion and 
 not absolute directions can be given for the selections 
 of crochet hooks or needles. One worker may require 
 a much liner needle to produce the same result that 
 am >ther secures with a coarser needle. The size of 
 the needle has been recommended in some cases by 
 the original worker: sometimes by one who has tested 
 a sample of the work: and in some cases a size has 
 been suggested from a general knowledge of the work. 
 
 It has not always been possible to give material 
 
 actually used ; some are given exactly, some are esti- 
 mated, while some are left to the choice of the worker.

27 d over 27 d, shell over 4 ch, 25 d over 25 d. This 
 completes the solid part of the cone; without breaking 
 the thread, make the lace for margin as follows : — 
 
 1st round— Ch 5, 1 d over first loop at bottom of 
 cone, * ch 4, 1 d over next loop *, make from * to * 
 8 times altogether, * 5 ch, miss 4, 1 d over next st 
 (taking both loops) *, make from * to * 5 times alto- 
 gether, ch 5, 1 d over 4 ch, ch 5, 1 d over same ch, 
 make 5 more such meshes down the other side of 
 the cone. 2d round — * Ch 2, 1 t over the first loop, 
 ch 3, 1 t in same loop *; repeat 15 times more (the last 
 group is the loop at the top of the cone), ch 3, 1 t 
 over same loop, ch 2, 1 t in next loop, ch 3, 1 t in 
 same loop, making 4 more such groups down the 
 other side of the cone. 3d round — Ch 2, * 2 t in loop 
 of 3 ch, ch 3, 2 t in same place, (from * is called a

 shell), make 22 shells all around with 2 ch between. 
 .///< round — Make 22 shells like the 3d round, except 
 make 3 ch between shells. 5th round — * Ch 3, 1 d 
 over the ch between shells, ch 3, 1 d over ch of 3, 
 ch 5, i d over same ch, ch 5, 1 d over same, ch 5, 
 1 d over same ; repeat from *, making 22 groups of 
 picots. Cut and fasten thread. Join each cone to the 
 preceding one by 4 corresponding picots ; this is shown 
 dearly in the illustration. 
 
 Wheels. — Commence a wheel by winding the cot- 
 ton 25 times around the first finger of the left hand, 
 slip the strands off the finger, and make 48 d over the 
 ring, join with si, * ch 4, miss 2 sts, 1 t over next d, 
 ch 5, join with d in top of t last made, make 2 more 
 picots of 5 ch, joined in same place with a d, ch 3, 
 miss 2 sts, 1 d over next st; repeat from * until there 
 are 8 triple picot loops around the wheel. Each wheel 
 
 is joined to the others and to the cones when being 
 finished; the illustration makes this clearer than any 
 description could. Make enough cones joined together, 
 and wheels to correspond, for the size wanted ; when 
 they are joined, finish the inside line with ch st and 
 cover ch with doubles. Then the linen can be fitted 
 and buttonholed in place. 
 
 Figure 2. Centrepiece with Cluny Crochet.— 
 
 The secret of the beauty of this crochet, which rivals 
 the handsomest Cluny lace, lies in the use of a very 
 coarse crochet needle with tine thread, and a line 
 needle with coarse thread. 
 
 Materials. — Two spools white linen thread, No. 40 
 and No. 100; two steel crochet needles. No. 12 and 
 linen centre, ten inches in diameter. 
 
 Shrink and press the linen and 
 draw a circle 10 inches in 
 diameter. W i t h sewing-needle 
 and No. 40 thread (linen) run 
 around this line very evenly three 
 times, keeping threads close 
 together. Buttonhole with the 
 same thread; the work should be 
 % of an inch deep when finished. 
 Cut away the linen. 1st round — 
 With No. 12 needle and No. 40 
 thread make double crochet 
 around buttonholed edge, with 1 
 ch between sts, join neatly with

 st of next loop; repeat from *. 
 2d round — Crochet loosely 1 d in 
 each st of ch. Continue 5 rounds 
 nf d. making it lie flat by 
 widening, (2 d in id) occasionally 
 in the 3d round ; cut and fasten 
 thread. 
 
 Points. 1st round — With No. 40 thread and No. 12 
 needle, ch 3. p, ch 7. p, ch 3, join with d in crocheted 
 band about 5-6 of an inch from starting-point ; repeat, 
 making 70 loops around. 2d round — SI to middle of 
 loop, make the same picot loops of "ch 3, p. ch 7, p. 
 ch 3," all around, joining with d in middle of loop 
 below and having 70 loops. 3d round — Divide loops 
 in 10 groups of 7 loops each, si to middle of loop, 
 ch 10, p, ch 3, d in middle of loop; repeat over one 
 group of 7 loops, omitting last picot, turn. 4H1 round 
 — SI to middle of loop, ch 10, p. ch 3, d in middle of

 Figure 54. Crochet Lace in Cluny Design. 
 Materials. — Crochet cotton No. 50, crochet needle 
 No. 12 
 
 This lace is designed for a round or oval centre- 
 piece: it is made of daisy motifs, crocheted separately 
 and joined. Each daisy, with the net worked around 
 one end, makes an oval medallion. 
 
 To Make the Daisy. — * Ch 8 for a petal, turn, 
 miss 1 ch, (r d, 1 dt, 3 t, 1 lit, 1 d) into the 7 ch ; 
 this makes the first petal ; repeat from * until there 
 are 9 petals, join in a circle and si up the side of 
 first petal to the tip. 1st round — Ch 6, * 1 d on tip 
 of next petal, ch 6 ; repeat ; from this the work is in 
 
 Doily. See page 29 
 
 rows around part of the 
 daisy. 
 
 1st row — * Ch 3, si in 
 every second ch st ; repeat 
 until there are 18 meshes 
 of 3 ch, this will cover 5 
 chains and tips of 6 petals. 
 2d row — Ch 2, si on middle 
 of first mesh, decreasing the 
 number of meshes, * ch 4, 
 si on next mesh ; repeat 
 from *, omitting 1 mesh at 
 the end and joining the last 
 time (without any ch) with 
 1 t, this rounds off or evens 
 the curved edge ; turn and 
 repeat the 2d row until it is 
 worked to a point, cut and 
 fasten thread. Make as 
 many of these oval medal- 
 lions as are necessary to fill 
 the circumference, join 
 them in making the first 
 round of inside border. 
 
 Having the right side of daisy toward one, fasten 
 the thread in the last mesh of first row of meshes. 
 The whole inside edge is a series of Irish lace picot 
 loops made as follows, — Ch 6, d in fifth ch from 
 needle for picot, ch 6, 1 d in fifth ch, ch 1; this 
 will be called a picot loop. * Make 1 picot loop, 
 t d on middle of ch between petals; repeat from * 
 
 4 times more, 1 picot loop, d over first mesh on 
 medallion, 1 picot (only), 1 il on mesh of second 
 medallion, 1 picot, turn and make 1 t between the 
 last two picots of first medallion (this helps to fill 
 the indents between motifs), turn and make 1 picot, 
 1 d on middle of ch on second daisy; repeat from 
 
 * until all are joined, si to middle of first loop. 
 
 2d round — Picot loop joined with d to middle of 
 picot loop below; between motifs join with 1 t. 3d 
 and 4th rounds — Like 2d round, joined always with 
 1 d. fitli round — T over picot, ch 3, * 1 t over next 
 picot, ch 3. 
 
 First round outside border — This is a series of 
 meshes of * ch 4, si into next mesh ; repeat from 
 *, joining between medallions at 3 meshes. 2d round 
 — Meshes of ( ch 3. si into next mesh) joining 3 
 meshes between medallions. 3d round — * One dt and 
 
 5 ch picot (joined with t to top of dt) ; repeat from 
 
 * over each 
 mesh.

 Knot stitch (k) is used in this very handsome 
 doily. To make a knot, draw out the st on needle 
 until it is about % inch long, catch working thread 
 and draw through st, insert needle in front of long st 
 and under the thread which was drawn through and 
 make I d. 
 
 To make a scallop, ch 15, join. 1st row— 30 d 
 over ring, join. 2d row— Ch. 15, d in same st from 
 which ch started, ch 15, d in next st, * ch 15, d in 
 same d, ch 15, d in next d; repeat from * until there 
 are 20 loops, miss the rest of the ring, ch 8, turn.

 double k sts), after the last d, turn, gth row — 2 k 
 as before, * d under the 2 threads of next open st 
 and close to k, d in next open st (after k), 2 k; 
 repeat from * turn. 10th, nth, and 12th rozvs — Like 
 9th; there are now 5 rows of ks, which complete the 
 scallop; make 6 scallops, join them to a linen centre 
 as shown, with edges overlapped. The linen should be 
 hemmed or buttonholed, and the lower edge of scal- 
 lops sewed to it by overcasting the ch and k sts 
 which are on this edge. The open side of the ring 
 is also joined, making the ring flat on that side. Fig- 
 ure 96 gives a detail of the work

 The Most 
 Helpful 
 Magazine 
 For Women 
 
 There are many mag- 
 azines devoted to 
 stories, many others 
 filled with miscellane- 
 ous matter of more or 
 less value and general 
 interesj;; but there is 
 just one magazine that 
 specializes in the two 
 subjects most closely 
 associated with the 
 average woman's daily 
 life — "Fancy -Work" 
 and "Housekeeping" 
 — with just enough 
 clever, wholesome fic- 
 tion added to give 
 zest. That magazine is 
 
 The Modern Priscilla. 
 
 WHAT "FANCY-WORK" MEANS 
 
 When they see or hear the word "Fancy- Work," many people think 
 only of Art Needlework. But as used by The Modern Prisch.la, the 
 expression "Fancy- Work" has a much broader meaning. It includes not 
 only Embroidery, in all its manifold varieties, but it includes as well such 
 feminine handicrafts and occupations as Knitting. Crochet, Lace-making. 
 Weaving, Netting, Tatting, Basketry, Bead-work, Oil, Water-color, and 
 China Painting, Stenciling, Art Brass Work, Art Leather Work, Pyrog- 
 raphy, and the like. 
 
 In The Modern Priscilla space is devoted to all these subjects from 
 time to time, and no other magazine covers them half so thoroughly. 
 
 WHAT PRISCILLA GIVES 
 
 In connection with what is broadly termed "Fancy-Work," The 
 Modern Priscilla gives a threefold service: 1. It supplies designs in 
 infinite variety and of rare beauty (from 50 to 100 each month), with pat- 
 terns for those who desire them. 2. It gives detailed and explicit in- 
 struction, so clear and complete that any woman of average intelligence 
 can gain proficiency in the work that most appeals to her. 3. It provides 
 a wealth of suggestions for the practical use and application of the knowl- 
 edge thus gained. 
 
 HOW FASHIONS FIT IN 
 
 This last service is especially noticeable in the Fashion Department, 
 where in addition to sane and sensible adaptations of the latest modes, 
 the use of the most appropriate embroidery is pictured and described in 
 connection with each costume illustrated. 
 
 HOW PRISCILLA SAVES ITS COST 
 
 " Fancy- Work," it will now be seen, at least the " Fancy- Work" that 
 The Modern Priscilla stands for, is no frivolous occupation for idle 
 hours, but a decidedly useful occupation, that will supply at small cost 
 many a dainty bit of wearing apparel or household decoration that could 
 otherwise be had only at considerable expense, or perhaps could not be 
 afforded at all. 
 
 Many a subscriber has gratefully acknowledged this debt to Priscilla. 
 more than a few asserting that aeinyle copy has often suggested econ- 
 omies amounting to more than the year's subscription price. 
 
 HOW A GOOD MAGAZINE WAS MADE BETTER 
 
 Much as can truthfully be said about the " Fancy- Work" value of 
 The Modern Priscilla, scarcely half the story has been told. 
 
 In 1911 the publishers of The Modern Priscilla purchased the well 
 known domestic science magazine called " Everyday Housekeeping," and 
 in due season merged it with their older publication, making what has 
 well been called a "Double Value Magazine " 
 
 THE MISSION OF "EVERYDAY HOUSEKEEPING" 
 
 "Everyday Housekeeping" is now a distinct and separate section of 
 The Modern Priscilla, and it is the aim of the editors to make it of the 
 greatest possible helpfulness to Priscilla readers. 
 
 Its recipes are economical, appetizing and nourishing, its special 
 articles are authoritative and deal with practical subjects, its hints, helps 
 and suggestions are gleaned from the experience of housekeepers the 
 country over. 
 
 THE PRICE SMALL— THE VALUE UNUSUAL 
 
 When all the foregoing is considered, even the most critical must ad- 
 mit that at $1.00 a year The Modern Priscilla is an exceptional value 
 (Canadian subscription price, $1.25) and that its steady growth in circu- 
 lation from a few hundred copies 25 years ago to nearly 400.000 to-day is 
 but the natural outcome of its policy of helpfulness. 
 
 The news-stand price of The Modern Priscilla is 10 cents a copy.
