 Explanation of Stitches 
 
 ^ 
 
 Chain (ch). With a slip knot on the honk, .haw tlire;i'l throiiRh 
 this loop ; aj;aiii draw thrca^i throiij;h tliis sucorul Ux>\i and 
 continue until the chain i;; of the required length. 
 
 Slip Stitch (si). Having a st on the hook, put hook through 
 work : draw thread tlirough work and loop on the hook at 
 the same time. 
 
 Double (d). Having a st on the hook, put hook through work, 
 draw thread through work (making two U)ops on the liook) ; 
 thread over again and through hoth Iooms. (This stiteh has 
 bei'ii, especially in wool crochet, calleil "single crochet." 
 But it simplifies crocheting to call it "double crochet." after 
 the custom of workers in Irish crochet; and that eliminates 
 entirely the name "single crochet.") 
 
 Half Treble (ht). Having a st on the hook, thread over hook, 
 hook through work, thread over and through work (having 
 three sts on the hook), thread over and tlirough all three 
 sts at once. 
 
 litKBLH (t). Ilnving a st on the hook, threail over hook, hook 
 through work, thread over ami through worlc (having three 
 sts on the hook), thread over and through two loops, thread 
 over and again through two loops. 
 
 Doi'BLE Trrblh (dt). Having a st on the hook, thread over twic\ 
 hook through work, thread over and through work (having 
 four sts on the hook), thread over and through two, over 
 and through two, over and through two. 
 
 Long Treble (It) or Triple Treble (tt). Like donhle treble, 
 but thread over three times, and after thread through work, 
 crocheting off by twos. 
 
 t^rADRUPLE Treblb (qt). Thread over four times, and crochet off 
 by twos. Sometimes "long treble" is used for anything longer 
 than dt, and the number of loops given. 
 
 PicoT (ji). A p is formed on a ch by joining the last four sH 
 (or any given number) in a ring by working a &1, or a d, 
 in the fourth st from the hook. In the following <lirections 
 a si is understood unless otherwise designated. In a feA' 
 cases the p is joined by a treble, but it is so stated in the 
 directions. 
 
 ('LINY Stitches, or Geiopps ok Cltny. Two, three, or four (any 
 given number) trebles, dt, or long t are crochete<l off, except 
 the last loop of each, which is kej't on the hook and one 
 loop drawn through all together. 
 
 Roll Stitch is made as follows: Thread ov<'r hook a given num- 
 ber of times, thread through work, thread over and througlj 
 all the loops (but not through the st on the hook), thread 
 over and through both on the hook. The hook for roll st 
 ^llould be of uniform thickness a considerable distance from 
 the point. 
 
 Block of 4, or Block of 3, etc. A given number of t, «It, or 
 long t worked without ch between. 
 
 Shell. A group of t, ch 1 (or more), the same number of t, 
 all joined in the same st or over same ch, as (4 t, ch 3, 4 t). 
 The number of t, as well as the luimher of ch, may vary. 
 "Shell over shell," the t are all made over ch of shell below._ 
 
 Knot Switch (k st). To make a k st draw out the st on the 
 hook until it is about % of an inch long, catch working 
 thread and draw through st, insert hook in front of the long 
 st, and under the thread which was ilrawn through, and make 
 one d. Two ks are usually made for a mesh, then joined to 
 the work with a d. Second row of k' st, * make 2 ks, 
 join with d under the two threads of next open st and 
 close to knot, one d in next open st (after k) ; repeat from *. 
 
 Space (sp). In filet crochet, "ch 2, miss 2 sts, t in next" : where 
 the number of t is given, as 4 t, 7 t, etc., this t is included.

 The foregoing illustrations. Figs. 2 and 4, of Bor- 
 der and Insertion for Tea Cloth are of remarkable 
 pieces of work in the line of filet crochet. They dif- 
 fer from that work as it is usually made, in one minor 
 point; the stitch is taken under the back loop, only, 
 of stitch below, whereas the custom of taking the 
 stitch under two threads is more generally followed. 
 In the present instance it gives a very handsome ribbed 
 effect, and as the work is exquisitely done, it adds 
 much to the beauty of the piece. That plan, however, 
 is to be adopted with caution and only by skilful 
 workers ; in the hands of the amateur it tends to draw 
 the work out (in the length of the trebles) and it 
 compHcates very much the problem of making the

 filet crochet square, which is absolutely essential. 
 
 While a great number of workers have no difficulty 
 in copying from a block pattern, yet there are other 
 numbers who plead for detailed directions ; and it is 
 with the purpose of pleasing the latter that the direc- 
 tions for this lace are written out in full. Since 
 tliis piece is included in a collection of crochet 
 embracing many varieties, special emphasis has not 
 been put upon principles underlying filet crochet ; 
 the directions have been given in the simplest method 
 possible in terms common to all the popular forms of 
 crochet. 
 
 The work of filet crochet is among the most popu- 
 lar forms of crocheting, yet it is capable of more 
 abuses than most other varieties. Most writers give 
 an approximate scale of meshes to an inch with the 
 different numbers of cotton. Without any doubt the 
 same number of rows to an inch are required if the 
 work approaches being square. In a circular piece 
 and ill making a mitre at corners one comes to grief 
 if anything other than square work is produced. 
 I'ilet crochet is at its best when the work is firmly 
 drawn, even and very fine. The pieces here described 
 are about 10 meshes and 10 rows to an inch.

 Matekiai.s. — No. 50 crochet cotton and No. 
 12 hook. The detail of work, Fig. 7, shows the 
 corner as it should look when one-half is fin- 
 ished, ready for the rows of the next half to be 
 joined. 
 
 While this is a good example of Filet Crochet, 
 yet the long space (long sp) is introduced in 
 the wings of the butterfly. A space (sp) is (ch 
 2, miss 2, I t), a long sp is (ch 5, miss 5, 
 I t). 
 
 The models, Fig. 6 and Fig. 8 of Insertion 
 are made as models containing the design, but 
 when making a repeated border, the first row 
 of work (at A) should be exactly like the sec- 
 ond row, and the last row of Fig. 6 should be 
 like the preceding row ; the detailed directions 
 are given with this point in view.

 33d row of directions for first butterfly ; and the order 
 of rows must be reversed from that to the second row. 
 For the last butterfly, commence with 2d row of 
 directions and follow as for the first butterfly. The 
 butterflies are turned toward the corners from the 
 middle of each side; and if a longer border is made 
 the number turned in each direction must be deter- 
 mined by the length of the border.

 neath the first row. 
 
 If a narrower lace is preferred, the work may end 
 with the i8th row. This pattern would be very 
 handsome crocheted in No. 5 crochet cotton or 
 carpet warp with hook No. 7 or No. 8. For different 
 purposes and where actual measure is not to be con- 
 sidered, the worker may experiment at will.

 This lace is worked lengthwise from right to left, 
 the thread being broken at the end of each row, be- 
 ginning again at the right-hand end. Stitches are 
 taken into (not over) chain-stitches, and under 2 
 loops in top of trebles.

 In working this lace, the thread is to be broken at 
 the end of each row and all rows are worked in the 
 same direction. The stitch is taken into the ch and

 over, and under two loops in top of trebles. 
 
 Make a chain a little longer than the length required, 
 and after the first row is finished, decide upon the ex- 
 act length, having 2 t at the last end. Repeat the pat- 
 tern according to the directions, and in the_ last 
 repeat of each row, work to the last 2 t, arid finish 
 with 2 t in each row; this will insure a straight line 
 at the last end, as the directions insure a straight 
 line at the first. A indicates the beginning of 
 directions.

 Prepare the edge of a square of handkerchief linen 
 by drawing three threads, ]4 of an inch from the 
 edge; roll the hem tightly up to the drawn threads and 
 * double crochet 3 sts over the hem, ch 6 for a picot, 
 and join at base of ch; repeat from * around the 
 handkerchief. 2d row — Ch 12 very tightly, sl in 4th 
 ch st from work but do not finish the sl, keep 2 sts 
 on the hook, draw a loop under the ch, (thread over 
 hook, loop under the ch) 4 times, then draw a loop 
 through the II sts on the hook, ch 2 tightly, dt be- 
 tween the picots of 1st row, * ch 9, sl in top of dt. 
 keeping both sts on the hook, loop under dt, (thread 
 over hook, loop under dt) 4 times, loop through 11 
 sts on hook, ch 2, dt between next 2 picots ; 
 repeat from * around. Crowd the work at the 
 corners so that it will round nicely. Crochet the 
 chs very tightly and when it is completed, round 
 out the picots with the crochet-hook or stiletto. 
 
 Turn the work face down on a bath-towel, cover 
 with a damp cloth and press, remove the cloth and 
 finish pressing but do not iron the edge with the 
 last pressing.

 the work is in two rows, both worked in the same 
 direction, both beginning at the right and without 
 turning the work. When a corner is to be turned 
 put 3 d in the same place at the corner. 
 
 1st row — 2 si in first 2 ,d, ch 2, picot of 5 joined 
 by d, (all the picots are of 5 ch, joined by d unless 
 otherwise noted), ch 2, miss 3 d on hem, 2 si 
 in next 2 d, * ch 4, picot, ch 6, picot, ch i, t

 2 si in next 2 d, ch 2, picot, ch 2, miss 3 d on 
 hem, 2 si in next 2 d; repeat from *. At the corner, 
 finish one of the larger figures with i si in the st 
 next to the corner, omit the smaller figure or loop, 
 commence again at * and make the larger figure, fin- 
 ish with I si in the corner st without missing any 
 d, commence again at *. Jd row — Fasten thread at 
 the 1st st of 6-ch loop. * 5 d over 6-ch, ch 4 for 
 picot, without joining, make S more d over same 6-ch, 
 ch I, picot, ch I ; repeat from *. 
 
 If the row of douljles is not crowded too closely, 
 the picot loop of 2d row (between scallops) may be 
 made "ch 2, p, ch 2" instead of "ch i, p, ch i." And 
 upon the spacing of doubles will depend the num- 
 ber to be missed between pairs of si sts.

 Heading. — Fasten thread between p of ring and fol- 
 low directions for Heading of Insertion, Figure 77. 
 
 In making this lace with heavier thread it is well to 
 make the 12-ch ring rather loose, or to make 16 close 
 tight ch ; in coarser cotton the 12-d fill the half ring 
 too tightly unless this point is noted.

 Care should be taken to 
 thoroughly shrink the linen 
 before cutting the circular 
 piece ; and the braid needs shrinking before applying 
 to the linen. In crocheting of this character (with 
 much open work ) it is not necessary to shrink the 
 crocheting, but good judgment should be used in 
 attaching the crochet to the braid. The spacing of 
 doubles in the braid inay need to be changed from 
 that of tlie directions.
