T^^ Introduction p^^ 
 
 A, /HEN so many ladies of culture and refine- 
 ment are endeavoring- to beautify their 
 home surroundings by articles of gentle handi- 
 craft, and when crocheting; forms such a large 
 part of the work turned out, we need make no 
 apology for producing a work which aims to give 
 directions for performing this important decora- 
 tive art. 
 
 The love of home is most frequently indi- 
 cated by efforts to make home beautiful, and re- 
 finement of person is usually denoted by the 
 exhibition of taste in clothing and adornments. 
 In both the ornamental and useful branches of 
 degorative work, crocheting is an important 
 factor. 
 
 At the present time, when women are as- 
 serting so brave an independence and appear 
 before the world as being able and willing to 
 
support themselves, what art is there which en- 
 ables them to do so with so much cleo:ant leisure 
 as this? The income derived from skilled handi- 
 work of this kind is considerable and easily 
 accjuired. 
 
 The author of this brochure has had abun- 
 dant opportunities, from her lon^ connection with 
 the Western Lace Manufacturin": Company of 
 Chicago, to familiarize herself thorouo;hly with 
 every department of crocheting^ art. It has been 
 her aim to supply in this book the most com- 
 plete collection of designs which has ever been 
 published. Each design is so described that the 
 crocheter can, by following the directions given, 
 complete them in a satisfactory manner. The 
 author presents many of the designs as her own 
 original contributions to the art. Others have 
 been selected from \arious sources, the aim 
 being to present the best and most effective. 
 The large number of illustrations will greatly 
 facilitate the comprehension of the designs. 
 
 Trusting that the book will lighten many an 
 idle hour for the ricli, and provide the meanj^of 
 earning many a dollar for the poor, the author 
 subscribes herself, 
 
 Very respectfully, 
 
 Mrs. Livetta White. 
 
Description of Terms Used in Crochet, 
 
 Chain SI itch. — Make a loop, throw the cotton around the 
 needle and pass it through. Continue to throw the cotton 
 around the needle and to draw it through the loop on the 
 needle until the chain is of the required length. 
 
 Close Chain Stitch. — Insert the hook in the loop of pre- 
 ceding row. and draw cotton through it and the loop on the 
 needle at the same time. 
 
 Single Crochet. — Pass the hook through a loop of the last 
 row, bring cotton through, throw cotton around the needle and 
 pass it througli the two loops on the needle. 
 
 Double Crochet. — Throw cotton once around the needle, 
 pass the hook through a loop of the preceding row. bring cot- 
 ton through, then take cotton up and bring it through two 
 loops twice. 
 
 Half Double Crochet. — Like double crochet, only pass the 
 cotton through the three loops on the needle, instead of pass- 
 ing it througli two loops twice. 
 
 Treble. — Throw the cotton twice around the needle, and 
 work as double crochet, but bring cotton through two loops 
 three times. 
 
 Double Double Crochet. — Throw the cotton over the needle 
 three times, work as double crochet, but draw the cotton 
 through tAvo loops four times. 
 
 Picot. — Make a chain of a certain number of stitches, and 
 ■work a single crochet in the first chain stitch. 
 
() 
 
 Picots can be worked in different ways, whicli will always 
 be explained in the directions of a pattern. 
 
 Ribbed Crochet. — Make a single crochet in the back loop 
 of each stitch of the row last worked. At the end of every row 
 make a chain stitch and turn the work ; then begin the next 
 row. 
 
 Slip Stifcli. — This stitch is used in joining. Take the 
 hook from the last loop worked, pass it through the loop where 
 the work lias to be joined ; then take the first loop spoken of 
 and (b-aw it throusrh.

 a stitch ; raise the back half of the next stitch, which is the last 
 stitch of star just made; raise the next which ought to be the 
 center of star in preceding row ; raise the following horizontal 
 stitch — always the back half. There are now 5 loops on the 
 hook. Draw thread through all ch. 1 ; repeat from * ; in finish- 
 ing the row there will be only 4 loops to draw through. It is 
 always best in making sacques or such articles to pick up one 
 more stitch to make the 5 stitches at each side to shape a slop- 
 ing edge. Every row is made the same as 2d row.

 stitch 7 times s. c. into middle of first shell, d. 
 c. into last stitch of shell 7 times, turn chain 
 4 d. c. into same stitch 7 times, s. c. into 
 middle of next shell, 7 d. c. into the stitch be- 
 tween the shells and s. c. into the middle of 
 next shell, 7 d. c. into the last stitch of next 
 shell, turn and repeat from * increasing 1 shell 
 on each row, until the fascinator is ^ yd. wide 
 and li yd. long, the border for this fascinator 
 same shell, only d. c. lO times into same place, drawing

 crease means two stars in one place), 
 
 crochet the stars plain around without increasing until the cap 
 measures 12^ from the point to the bottom. Hold the cap 
 with the wrong side out and reverse the rows until you have 
 4 rows of stars which turns up for the border, finish with a 
 shell or scallop. This cap plaits down in the front, taking the 
 ])oint and catching it down halfway, then make another plait 
 down to the border, finish off the front with 3 pom -pons. 
 
 To make the pom-pons wind the yarn around the four

 TUICOT AND CROCHET DRESS. 
 
 The waistcoat and skirt are worked in one piece in ribbed 
 crochet, commencing at tlie throat with 48 chain. 
 
 1st How: With blue wool pass over the first stitch, one 
 double into each of 20 stitches, three into the next, one double 
 into each of 20 stitches; the first and last stitches in each row 
 are not M'orked into. 
 
 2d Row: One double into the back horizontal loop of each 
 of 20 stitches, 3 into the next, 1 double into the back hori- 
 zontal loop of each of 20 next stitches; all the rows are like 
 the 2d; 2 rows are Avorked with blue and 2 with white wool. 
 After you have worked 25 ribs of the length rec^uired for the 
 waistcoat, continue to work G more ribs, but Avork 2 stitches into 
 the first and last of the 43 stitches to increase the number of 
 stitches for the front of skirt. When you have 30 ribs, counting 
 from the top, M'ork on one side only of the point, pass over the 
 first stitch at the bottom of skirt, and work 2 into the end stitch 
 
at top of the skirt. Continue to work in this way until you have 
 40 ribs. Then, to make the end of the work square, pass over 
 the edge stitch at bottom as before, and work up to the last 
 three in the row. The other half of skirt is worked in the 
 stitch but same way. 
 
 For the bodice commence at the lower edge, make a chain 
 the length required; about 118 will be sufficient. 
 
 1st to Gth Row: Work up and off with blue wool in plain 
 tricot. 
 
 In the 7th row decrease (> times at equal distances by 
 working up two loops together. There slioukl be 1 decrease 
 iinder each arm, and 4 in the back; continue to work in plain 
 tricot, decreasing () times in every 3d row, until you have de- 
 creased to the size required for the waist; work five rows 
 without increase or decrease ; now increase by working up 2 
 loops through 1 under each arm, and above the 2 center de- 
 creases in the middle of the back; increase 5 times with 2 
 plain rows between each increase, or more if necessary. 
 
 Now for the right front, work up 20 stitches, work off 2 
 together, work off in the usual way; work up 10 stitches, work 
 up 2 together, work off in the usual way; work up 18, work 
 up 2 together, work off in the usual way ; work up 17, work 
 up 2 together, work off in the usual way; now work without 
 increase till you reach the top of the arm. 
 
 For the shoulder work up 10 stitches, work off, work up 
 14, work off, work up twelve, work off, work off ten, work \\i> 
 all the loops to the end of the row, work off. The other front 
 is worked as described for the first. 
 
 For the back work on the remaining; stitches without in- 
 crease or decrease till you have reached top of the shoulder; 
 decrease for slope of shoulders as you did for the front, that 
 is, by Avorking on 2 stitches less at each end in every row un- 
 til you reach the neck. 
 
 For the sleeve make a chain the length required acros.? 
 the top of arm. To shape the sleeve a little at the top work 
 
24 
 
 the 1st row on all the loops, 2d row on 21 center loops, 3d row 
 on 2l> loops, that is, 3 more on each side of the 21 loops, tlieji 
 work on all the loops for about 14 rows. Decrease twice in 
 the center of each alternate row by working up 2 loops to- 
 gether twice until the sleeve is the length required. Now sew 
 the bodice up on the shoulders, sew in the sleeves. 
 
 The waistcoat must next be sewed in, the edge of the front 
 must be j)laced a little over the waistcoat at the waist, in order 
 to give it a good shape. Sew the 2 ends of the skirt together, 
 and arrange it in 4 box-plaits to fit the edge of bodice; and 
 sew them together. 
 
 For the scalloped trimming work round the bodice as fol- 
 lows : 
 
 1st Row: With white wool draw up a loop through a 
 stitch, turn the wool over the hook, draw up another loop, draw 
 through all the loops on the hook together, one chain, repoat, 
 working into each stitch. 
 
 2d Row: Like the first. 
 
 3d Row: With blue wool Avork one loosely into each 
 stitch of last row. This trimming will form a frill Avhich 
 must be arranged in scallops and fixed by a needle and wool. 
 The same trimming forms a cuff for the sleeve. For the edge 
 of skirt work with white wool ; draw up a loop through a 
 stitch, turn the wool over the hook, draw up a loop through 
 the next stitch, draw through all the loo})S on the hook to- 
 gether, 3 chain, one double into the 1st. Repeat from begin- 
 ning of the row. 
 
 4th Row: With blue wool, like the first, working into the 
 stitches of last row behind the picots. A bow of ribbon is 
 sewed on the left shoulder, and one in the center of the back 
 at the edge of bodice. The little frock should have a IxdajjcNsc 
 of muslin edged with lace put into the skirt where it is joined 
 to the bodice, as this gives a refined finish.

 CROCHETED TOILET SHOE. 
 
 1st Bow: Make a chain of 12 stitches, miss 1 stitch and 
 work back on the next 5 with 1 s. c, in each, 3 s. c. in the Oth, 
 and 5 s. c. in the remaining 5 stitches, work 1 ch. at the end 
 and turn. 
 
 2d Row: 1 s. c. in the back looj) of eacli stitch in the 
 previous row, 1 chain, turn. 
 
 3d Row: Work 1 s. c. in the back of next (5 stitches. 3 s. c. in 
 the 7th, and () in the next G. Continue this way, increas- 
 ing by working 3 stitches in the center of every other row, un- 
 til the work reaches the ankle. If this increases too fast for a 
 foot with a low instep, work two rows plain between, then in- 
 creasing only in every 8d row. 
 
 Crochet to the center of the last row necessary to bring 
 the work to the ankle and then make a chain of 10 stitches, as 
 
15 
 
 from this point one-half of the shoe is worked at a time and 
 afterward joined at tlie back. 
 
 Work back and forth on these rows until the strip is long 
 enough to reach to the heel, then break the wool and com- 
 mence at the bottom edge on opposite side of front. Crochet 
 to the center where the extra stitches were added on the other 
 side, and make a chain of 10 stitches as before. 
 
 Work back and forth on this strip until it contains as 
 many ridges as the first side, then join at the heel. Use 
 lambs' wool soles ; sew the shoe to the sole with close stitches, 
 and finish the top with loop-knitting or crocheting. Fasten 
 on each side of the front o[)ening (two on each side) four 
 large metal eyes, such as coine on cards with hooks; lace a 
 narrow ribbon in them and tie a bow at the top.
