+PREFACE.
+
+
+I venture to publish THE NEW GUIDE TO KNITTING AND CROCHET, believing it
+will prove both instructive and amusing to those Ladies, whose taste
+leads them to such pursuits. The Authoress being practically acquainted
+with these Arts, she warrants them correct, and trusts they will meet
+with a favourable reception by the Public, and be found a useful
+appendage to every work-table.

+THE NEW GUIDE
+
+TO
+
+KNITTING AND CROCHET
+
+
+SIBERIAN CUFFS.
+
+Nine shades of wool used double, or double Berlin, either in shades of
+sable or chinchilli, look best. Cast on sixty stitches, knit three plain
+rows with the darkest shade; in the fourth row seam two stitches
+together; pass the wool round, seam two together; pass the wool round,
+seam two together, and so on till the end of the row. Join on the next
+shade, and knit three plain rows. In the fourth row, seam two together;
+pass the wool round, and seam two together the same as before; continue
+in this manner knitting three plain rows and an open row of each shade,
+until the ninth of white. Only knit two plain rows; this will reverse
+the shades: join the second lightest shade, and knit one plain row and
+one open row; two plain rows; continue knitting one plain row, one open
+row, and two plain rows of each shade; it will then correspond in
+appearance with the other side; then sew the two edges together, and let
+the join come in the centre of the wrong side, and it will look as
+though knit double.
+
+
+LEAF PATTERN FOR A PINCUSHION.
+
+Cast on each needle forty-five stitches, fifteen for each pattern.
+_First round_--pass the thread in front, purl two, knit one, taking the
+back part of the loop; purl two, slip one, knit one, and bring the
+slipped stitch over the last knit, knit six, bring the thread forward;
+knit one; continue this till the round is completed. _Second
+round_--thread before, purl two, knit one, taking the back part of the
+loop; purl two, slip one, and cast the slipped over; knit the remaining
+stitches plain; in the first row you have increased one stitch in every
+fifteen; the second brings them to the original number; knit these
+rounds alternately, making the holes (which occur in every alternate
+row) one stitch sooner each time, _i. e._, knitting five, then four,
+then three, then two, then one, instead of six stitches, and plain to
+the purled stitches, then commence as before.
+
+
+TWISTED KNITTING.
+
+Begin with about twenty stitches on one needle, and with the other knit
+two or three plain rows; next row knit six plain, purl eight, knit the
+remainder plain; knit the next row plain, and so on for twelve rows;
+next row, when the right side is towards you, after knitting the first
+six stitches plain, take a third needle, and slip off four stitches, and
+keep them behind till you have knit the next four; then knit them; this
+forms the twist; then knit the remaining six plain; knit the next row
+plain, and so on for twelve rows; then repeat the twist.
+
+
+VANDYKE BORDER.
+
+Cast on nine stitches, slip one, knit one, bring the thread forward, and
+knit two together for three times, thread forward, knit one, purl the
+next row; repeat these two rows alternately, increasing one plain stitch
+each time in the fancy row, until you have eighteen stitches; to
+decrease the point, slip the first, knit two together, bring the thread
+forward, and knit two together for four times, until it is reduced to
+nine stitches; every alternate row is purled.
+
+
+OPEN KNITTED LACE CUFFS.
+
+Needles No. 20, and No. 34, Boar's-head cotton. Cast on thirty-four
+stitches, knit four plain rows. _Fifth row_--knit two, slip one, knit
+one, pass the slipt one over the knitted one, bring the thread forward,
+knit one, thread forward, knit one, thread forward, purl one, and so on
+to the end of the row. Commence the next row by slipping one, and
+continue as before, till you come to the end of the row, where you will
+have two plain stitches left, which are to be knit; continue with these
+rows alternately, until the cuff is long enough for the wrist, then
+cast off the stitches, and edge it with narrow Valenciennes lace, or
+with the Vandyke edging.
+
+
+PRUDENCE CAP.
+
+Cast on fifty stitches coloured wool, knit eight rows, knitting and
+purling alternate rows, and twisting each stitch; five rows of coloured,
+and four of white wool, knit loosely on small ivory pins, for the edge.
+
+
+CARDINAL CAPE.
+
+Cast on seventy-two stitches in the Brioche stitch, which is done by
+bringing the wool forward; slip one stitch off underneath, and knit two
+together, coloured wool, and knit one row, besides the casting-on row,
+white wool, knit four times from end to end; and then leave six stitches
+each time, till you have formed one gore; twice and back with coloured
+wool; and then another white gore; fourteen white gores, and finish
+with one coloured row; and then cast off. Border for the lower end, with
+an open scollop: run one string round the row of holes, and another
+string in a few stitches lower to form the waist; the Brioches are done
+in the same manner; but twelve gores, and each different colours; you
+cast on sixty stitches instead of seventy-two: six oz. white, and two
+coloured four-thread fleecy, or double Berlin wool, is enough for cape
+and border.
+
+
+SHELL PATTERN PURSE.
+
+Cast on ninety-six stitches, pins No. 19; thread a row of beads; knit
+three plain rows; purl the close scollop; and every purl stitch knit a
+bead, twelve rows of beads deep at each end; and ten rows of beads deep
+in the middle; three plain rounds; cast off.
+

+forty-six left, instead of forty; pick up thirty stitches on each side,
+and make the borders at the sides and back, like the first: make up the
+cap, by turning in the border to the fancy row, and hem it all round: it
+is to be tied behind, and under the chin, with ribbon, or plaitted wool,
+with tassels of the same.

+
+
+A VERY HANDSOME MAT.
+
+This mat is made to imitate fur, with ermine in the centre. To make this
+mat a yard long and three quarters wide, you require one pound of
+fleecy; that is, a quarter of a pound of each of four shades for the
+border, half a pound of white for the middle, and one pound of common
+for the back; also two skeins of black for the tails; it must all be in
+six-thread fleecy, except the common for the back, which requires
+twelve-thread. No. 6 pin, by the eagle gauge, is required. Cast on
+seventy-two stitches with the common white, knit one plain row, then
+take a skein of the darkest or lightest, according to fancy, cut the
+skein into half, and divide each half into four, so that the pieces may
+be about half a quarter in length; slip the first stitch; then take two
+of the pieces of wool, put them on the left hand pin, twisting it so
+that one may be behind and the other in front; knit the next stitch, and
+the two pieces of wool altogether; bring the ends in front and knit
+another stitch, one plain row between each, and three rows of each four
+shades; cut previous to commencing the second shade put in two pieces of
+the darkest at each end; this for three rows: the third shade, two
+pieces of each of the previous shades, and so on, until you have
+completed the border, by knitting in the four shades; then put in two
+pieces of each colour, and commence the white; you will have
+forty-eight stitches for the white; knit twelve rows, that is to say,
+six rows putting the pieces in, and every other one being plain, makes
+the twelve rows; then knit in six pieces, take two of the black, and
+then twelve more white, one piece of black and twelve more white, one
+more of black; if the mat is larger or smaller, the centre stitches have
+only to be equally divided by spots of black: the next row you must put
+in two black over the one in the previous row, and in the third row one
+of black over each two; then six more rows of white, that is twelve with
+the plain one, and then knit in twelve pieces before you commence the
+black; repeat this as above-mentioned; you will find that this time you
+will have only space for two black spots; continue in this way till it
+is finished: it is then combed out until it resembles fur; you then
+twist the four pieces of black together to resemble the tail; a little
+gum is then used in twisting this. After having been well combed, they
+are made up on a stiff back. They may also be made with an ermine
+outside, and a coloured centre, but they are not so pretty.
+
+

+each other round, till you have twenty-four extra stitches, which place
+on another pin, and knit forty rounds without them. Divide the thumb
+stitches on three pins, and increase two more on the under part of it;
+knit round, decreasing the same part (the under) till you have
+twenty-two left, which knit on till long enough, when again decrease
+till you have nine stitches only; break off the wool, and with a worsted
+needle, draw it through all the stitches, and fasten it inside. Divide
+your stitches for each finger, taking two more for each of the two first
+fingers, than for the other two; it is better to measure by a glove, for
+the length of the fingers and thumb: this pattern is for the left hand,
+and wants the pattern for the back, reversing and knitting on the last,
+instead of the first pin; two-thread fleecy is required.
+
+
+
+
+Directions for the different Stitches
+
+IN
+
+CLOSE AND OPEN CROCHET WORK.
+
+
+The greater part of close crochet articles are done in the double-plain
+stitch, which is done by taking a piece of wool, and casting on as many
+loops in chain-stitch as you may require, with the needle; it is very
+simple, being only to form a loop and draw the wool through one and
+another; the easiest manner would be, to continue drawing the wool
+through from right to left; this will make the work the same on both
+sides. The plain single-crochet is done by merely drawing the one loop
+you have on your needle through each stitch. Plain double crochet is
+when you have cast on the foundation-loops, draw the wool through one
+stitch; take it up again, and through two; this stitch is used for
+table-covers and sofa-cushions; also when patterns are worked in. In the
+double-stitch crochet, you take both sides of the loop, but that is only
+used when you require it thick, and is very nice for soles for shoes.
+
+RAISED CROCHET is worked alternately from one side to the other, drawing
+the wool quite through, and taking the underneath part of the loop.
+
+The CHAIN OPEN CROCHET is made of chains, as for instance, five or seven
+loops drawn one through the other, and joined to the centre stitch of
+the preceding row; this is very pretty for purses, with a bead on each
+of the centre stitches.
+
+SINGLE OPEN CROCHET is done by putting your needle under the wool, and
+then through the loop, draw the wool through, you will find that you
+have three stitches on your needle; draw the wool through the first two
+stitches, and then through the other two; you will now have one loop:
+make one by drawing the wool through that one; put it underneath and
+through the next loop but one; repeat as before.
+
+DOUBLE OPEN CROCHET is done by drawing it through in the same manner as
+you did for the single, but omitting the one-loop stitch until you have
+done two long stitches between each of the long ones.
+
+TREBLE OPEN CROCHET is much the same as the preceding patterns, but
+having three long stitches and three loop stitches between; in the next
+row, remember to make the long stitches upon the loops, and the loops on
+the preceding long stitches; you increase by going twice in the same
+loop, and decrease by missing one loop.
+
+There is another stitch called the TREBLE VANDYKE OPEN CROCHET, which is
+done by three long stitches, but put through the same loop.
+
+
+A PRETTY NECK TIE,
+OF TREBLE OPEN CROCHET, AND TWO COLOURS IN DOUBLE BERLIN.
+
+Cast on one hundred and forty loops, and do one row of each colour;
+three of white and five of coloured will make it wide enough; finish
+with a chenille tassel at each end.
+
+
+A NEW SOFA PILLOW,
+IN TREBLE OPEN CROCHET.
+
+Choose nine shades of double Berlin wool. Cast on eighty loops, and
+commence with the darkest shade; one row of each colour to the lightest,
+and the same to the darkest. You may do them in shaded wool, with white
+between: make it about three complete stripes or half-a-yard square; you
+can crochet both sides, or have silk at the back.
+
+
+A CARPET BAG.
+
+This is done in the plain double crochet, also in plain double Berlin
+wool. Cast on sixty loops, and choose a pretty crochet pattern for the
+border on each side--say a narrow border of green leaves, perhaps ten or
+twelve stitches wide, on a scarlet ground, the centre a black ground,
+with a diamond arabesque pattern, in bright golds, scarlets, greens, and
+blues; to be about half-a-yard wide altogether, with the border on the
+other side; you can vary the other part of the bag at pleasure. They are
+made up with patent leather sides and bottom, with steel at the top. In
+working patterns, be particular to pass the whole between the needle and
+the wool you are working with.
+
+
+NECK REST, OR CUSHION,
+FOR THE BACK OF A CHAIR.
+
+These are very comfortable for an invalid, they are generally done in
+shaded wool, and six colours, say scarlet, green, lilac, orange, blue
+and drab. Cast on ninety loops, and eight rows of each colour; this is
+done in the plain double crochet, and when you cast on the loops for
+the foundation, join the ends, and work round, they are finished with
+velvet ends, and two pieces of cord round each piece of velvet; black
+looks better than coloured.
+
+
+A BRIOCHE, OR TURKISH CUSHION.
+
+Cast on thirty loops with black wool, crochet four rows all round,
+increasing one stitch at the end; then take a skein of shaded double
+Berlin, and commence one stitch below the point of the black; work round
+to the top of the other side, then commence four loops below, and work
+till within four of the other side, and so on for eight rows, leaving
+three less each time; twelve pieces are required done in this manner;
+all different colours are prettier, or at least six, and repeat them
+once when you have finished, then crochet them all together and six rows
+completely round the bottom; you will find you have a space in the
+middle; crochet enough rows to fill this up, decreasing every three
+loops; make a round cushion, and cover it with your crochet: put a
+Brioche mount in the centre.
+
+
+A VERY ELEGANT BAG,
+IN FRENCH BLUE SILK, AND STEEL BEADS.
+
+Commence by casting on three hundred loops, and crochet six plain rows
+in black, then thread your beads on the blue, and crochet a piece, which
+is done by making the wrong side of crochet the right; when you are
+putting on the beads, you must put your needle through the loop, pass a
+bead up close to the stitch, and finish it, and so on, until the piece
+is completed; then twelve rows plain, in blue, and six black; the
+seventh and eighth are done in the plain open crochet. To pass the cord
+through, you ought to choose a pattern from forty to fifty rows deep.
+
+You may also do round bags, commencing with three stitches, and
+increasing one in every other, for the first six rounds, and one in
+every three, for the next twelve, and so on until the bottom is large
+enough; then as many rounds as you require for the size of the bag;
+they are pretty in stripes of different colours, with beads or patterns
+of another colour, upon every alternate stripe.
+
+
+ORIGINAL PATTERN OF A CROCHET COLLAR.
+
+Cast on one hundred and forty loops, crochet one plain row, then one row
+of plain open crochet in every loop, one row of the open Vandyke treble
+crochet; the following of close crochet, if done correctly, will form a
+leaf. _First_--work along stitch in every loop. _Second_--work three
+long stitches into three loops, make four chain stitches, miss two loops
+of the foundation, work a stitch of double plain crochet into the next,
+make four chain stitches, miss two of the foundation, and repeat. _Third
+row_--work three long stitches over the three in the last row, make five
+chain stitches, work a stitch of double crochet over the one in the last
+row, make five chain stitches, and repeat. _Fourth round_--the same as
+the third. _Fifth row_--work five stitches of double crochet, beginning
+on the last chain stitches; before the three long stitches in last row,
+make eight chain stitches, and repeat one row quite round of the single
+open crochet; in every loop at the corners of the collar, you must
+increase two stitches at each end row. To commence the border, or edge
+of the collar, which of course is carried round as the preceding
+row--_First row_--make a long stitch, make one chain stitch, work
+another long stitch in the same loop, make three chain stitches, miss
+two of the foundation, and repeat. _Second row_--work a long stitch into
+the one chain stitch in last row, make one chain stitch, work another
+long stitch into the same place, make two chain stitches, and repeat.
+_Third row_--the same as the second. _Fourth row_--work a long stitch
+into the one chain stitch of the last row, make six chain stitches, and
+repeat: these collars may be worked in many other patterns, some of
+which are to be found in a book called Crochet Collars. No. 14, or 16,
+Boar's-head cotton, and a small steel needle is required.
+
+
+A PLAIN PURSE.
+
+Cast on seventy or eighty loops, and crochet six rows in double open
+crochet; it is prettier in two colours, say French blue, and Ponceau,
+seven stripes are wide enough; they look well with one end square, and a
+fringe of beads at the bottom.
+
+
+A MOUCHOIR CASE,
+IN TREBLE VANDYKE CROCHET.
+
+Choose any pretty shades, or shaded double Berlin, with rather a small
+sized hook; cast on one hundred loops, and crochet if in shades, one row
+of each colour, about thirty rows is required to make it wide enough;
+they are joined so as to leave it open down the centre, and lined with
+silk or satin; you will find them better with some scent in between the
+lining: they are to be fastened with a pretty button, or ribbon.
+
+
+WARM MUFFATEES.
+
+Cast on for a gentleman, forty loops in double Berlin, and crochet
+twenty rounds in shaded wool, then six rows of the chain open crochet;
+ladies' may be done in single wool.
+
+
+RAISED CROCHET SLIPPERS.
+
+These are to be done in two colours, say shaded blue or scarlet, with
+black stripes between; cast on twelve loops, crochet four rows in
+black, increasing one stitch on each side, and one in the middle,
+this will form a point on the top of the foot; then two rows of red
+wool, increasing; you ought to have three stripes of black, and two of
+coloured; leave all the stitches except twelve at the side, continue six
+stripes of black, and seven of coloured: will make them large enough for
+a lady; join the stripe to twelve stitches on the other side, sew these
+to a cork sole, and bind them round the top with ribbon.
+
+
+ANTI-MACASSAR,
+IN SIX SHADES OF WOOL, OR COARSE COTTON, TO IMITATE OLD LACE.
+
+Cast on one hundred and thirty loops, crochet one plain row, then
+commence with four stitches in the single open crochet; make four loops,
+miss two of the foundation, four long stitches, four chain stitches, and
+so on, in the next row; be particular to make the long stitches come
+over the chain, and _vice versa_; one row of the double open crochet
+quite round, one of the single another of the double open, and then a
+pretty Vandyke edge, if in wool, one row of each shade.
+
+
+SHAWL.
+
+These made with two coloured grounds in stripes, are very handsome; say
+black and white, with a pattern of two colours, four shades of each,
+perhaps lilacs and greens on the white ground, and French blue and
+scarlet on the black, with a narrow stripe of gold colour, between each
+stripe of the ground. Cast on five loops with black, and increase one
+stitch at the commencement, one in the middle, and one at the end; then
+break off your wool, and commence at the same side, this is at the
+neck, and is to be done in the plain double crochet; continue in this
+manner until the shawl is large enough, then loop on a fringe; these
+must be done in double German wool, with the fringe in fleecy.
+
+
+WATCH CHAINS.
+
+Cast on five loops, and crochet round until long enough; beads may be
+introduced the same as on purses, which have a very pretty effect.
+
+
+LADIES' CUFFS,
+IN SHADED SINGLE WOOL.
+
+Cast on forty-four loops, and crochet one row of single open, and one
+row of plain double; six rows in the same manner; then do three rows on
+each side, in the chain open crochet, run ribbon in and out; these have
+a very pretty effect; they are to be joined and done round.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
