INTRODUCTION TO SECOND EDITION.


_The first edition of No. 2 of our Crochet Series was necessarily
hurried, and issued out of its regular order, in compliance with a
very general demand for lambrequin designs. While its success has been
gratifying, there were some defects in the work, which has decided
us to re-issue it under its present form. It has been carefully
re-written, so as to follow the very full instructions found in No. 1.
The number of designs have been doubled by the addition of some very
attractive patterns for lambrequins._

_Three numbers of the Series have been issued, as follows_:

No. 1.—HOW TO CROCHET.

  With full explanations of all Crochet Stitches, and numerous
  illustrations.

No. 2.—LAMBREQUIN DESIGNS.

  Especially adapted for Twine. Illustrated. (Second Edition; Enlarged.)

No. 3.—MISCELLANEOUS DESIGNS.

  Tidies, Mats and Spreads. Illustrated.




TWINE CROCHET WORK.


The use of twine in fancy work has introduced a material that can be
employed extensively in household decoration, and has brought the
crochet needle into greater requisition than ever before. Many of those
articles that contribute so much to the attractiveness of a home can be
made of twine at comparatively little cost. It can be made in colors
and of different sizes, and on account of its durability, cheapness and
beauty, is considered by many superior to macramé work. By a judicious
selection of shades, and a tasteful combination of trimmings, a large
assortment of which are sold for that purpose, consisting of silk and
plush balls of various shapes and colors, ribbon, etc., a great variety
of articles may be fashioned which are at once both beautiful and
effective, such as, for instance, window, mantel, fable and bracket
lambrequins, scarfs for chairs and tables, covers for sofa pillows and
ottomans, toilet and dinner mats, hand-bags, etc., etc., etc.




DESCRIPTION OF TERMS USED IN CROCHET.


_Chain Stitch._—Make a loop of twine, and draw the twine through each
loop thus made, until the chain is of the required length.

_Close Chain Stitch._—Insert the hook in loop of preceding row, and
draw twine through both this loop and the loop on the needle at the
same time.

_Single Crochet._—Pass the hook through a loop of the last row, bring
twine through, throw the twine around the needle and draw it through
the two loops on the needle.

_Double Crochet._—Turn the twine around the needle once, pass the hook
through a loop of preceding row, bring twine through, throw the twine
around the needle and draw it through two loops, turn the twine again
around the needle and draw it through the two next loops.

_Treble._—Turn the twine twice around the needle, work as double
crochet, bringing twine through two loops three times.

_Double Double Crochet._—Turn twine three times around the needle,
work as double crochet, bringing twine through two loops four times.

_Slip Stitch._—This stitch is used in joining. Take the hook from the
last loop worked, pass it through the loop where the work has to be
joined; then take the first loop spoken of and draw it through.

* The above are the primitive or foundation stitches, of which all
fancy stitches are modifications or combinations.


TWINE.

The best twine for crocheting is what is known as seine or macramé
cotton twine, and is sold by numbers; 6 and 9, the finer numbers, are
used for tidies, etc.; 12, 16 and 20 for lambrequins. Care should be
taken in purchasing the twine, to get the best quality, as there are
several grades made; that having a cream color, bordering on écru,
makes the best work.


NEEDLES.

A five-inch bone needle, even and smooth, is considered the best for
crocheting with twine.

twine twice the required length, double in center; take two pieces
together, put the needle through the stitch nearest the edge, and with
the hook catch the twines in center and draw through until a loop is
formed on the opposite side; pass the needle through the loop and draw
the four ends through, then pull tight.

HAMMOCK.

[Illustration]


The tools for making a hammock are—first, a “seine needle,” which
may be obtained at any fishing-tackle store, and, second, what is
called a mesh board. The needle is made of hard wood and of the shape
represented in illustration. The mesh board is simply a piece of common
wood about 6 inches long by 2 or 2½ inches wide, according to the size
of the mesh desired, and bevelled on one side, being one-half the
stretched measure of the mesh. Having provided yourself with the tools
as above, proceed as follows:

Take a piece of twine a foot or so long and tie the ends together,
making a loop on which to knit the first row of meshes, and hang it on
a hook or nail; then fill your needle by tying the end of the twine to
the pin in the middle of the needle, and carrying it around the notch
and back to the pin until the needle is full, being careful to turn the
needle over every time, so that both sides will be alike.

Tie the loose end of twine on the needle to the loop mentioned above,
and place the mesh board underneath close to the loop; then carry the
needle down under the board and up through the loop, drawing the twine
tight; place the thumb (the mesh board being held in the left hand) so
as to hold the twine in position on the edge of the mesh board, and
throw the bight (or slack) of the twine loosely towards the left, and
carry the needle under the right side of the loop and up on the left
side through the bight, and pull it down snugly.

The same operation should be repeated, with the exception of putting
the needle _between_ the loop and the bight, as it must be carried
_through_ the loop and the bight at the same time. In order to make
the knot more secure, it would be well to throw the bight again to the
left, and bring the needle up through the loop a second time, thus
making the knot double. This suggestion applies to the first row of
meshes only.

Continue this until you have a sufficient number of meshes for the
width of the hammock, 30 being the usual number; then slip the meshes
off the mesh board and allow them to hang from the twine on the needle;
then place the mesh board underneath, in the same manner as at first,
and repeat the original operation, putting the needle through the first
mesh instead of the loop, as in the first instance, and making the knot
as before. (See illustration.) Follow the meshes along in the same way,
until the hammock is the desired length. It is usual to make it about
six feet long when stretched for a full-sized hammock, and then to put
on each end strings about two feet long, reaching from each end mesh to
an iron ring about an inch and a half in diameter, to which the ropes
for swinging it are to be attached. These strings can be put on in the
same manner as the meshes are knit by simply substituting a piece of
board about 2 feet long and 3 or 4 inches wide for the mesh board and
using it lengthwise.

  be described using language from this book as “Turn the twine around
  the needle once, pass the hook through a loop of preceding row, bring
  twine through, throw the twine around the needle and draw it through
  three loops.”
