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. + + +RIBBED MITTS. + +Cast on fifty-six stitches round the wrist; increase till you have +seventy-four by the thumb;

two rows of red; +sixteen rows of white; narrow, by taking two together, on the +seventeenth and twenty-first rows; knit thirteen more rows, then divide +the stitches into three, viz.:--ten, twelve, and ten: knit twenty rows +on the middle needle, which has the twelve stitches, and bind, or cast +them off; take up the front, as you would a stocking heel, and make +twelve stitches beyond; knit two rows narrowing at the toe, every other +row; this is to be repeated six times, and then at the heel, still +narrowing the same in front, till you have only sixteen stitches which +bind off, take up the red stitches in front, catching one white one each +time, till the other side is like the first; you may introduce open +stitches on the instep, and round the leg. + + +TOILET CUSHION. + +Cast on thirty-six loops on the two first pins, and forty-eight on the +other; knit two plain rounds one purl, three plain, six plain, with the +thread brought forward, two plain, one purl, one plain, fifteen plain, +one plain, one purl, one purl narrowing one, eleven plain, slip one, +knit one, pass it over, one plain, one purl, one plain, narrow once, +seven plain, slip one, knit one, pass it over. + + +A STOCKING. + +Cast on one hundred and three stitches for the first six rounds;

twenty purl; set the +heel by dividing the stitches, when there will be, if correct, +thirty-five for the heel, and thirty-six for the instep; knit nineteen, +purl the twentieth, purl under two stitches beyond the seam, on the +wrong side, and take two together; this do on each side, till you have +taken up all, to each end, when there will remain seven stitches on your +pin, take up the stitches, and in the third row, make a stitch; in every +third stitch in the next round, take two stitches together, where the +instep and heel join, do this every other round, till you have reduced +the heel stitches to the same number you have on your instep pin; +forty-four rounds plain, take in on each side the heel and instep, +leaving two stitches between; knit two rounds, take in the same again, +this do six times, then take in every other round five times, two rounds +every time, when you will have twenty-three or twenty-four stitches +remaining, which cast off. + + +KNITTED FRINGE. + +Cast on eight stitches; slip the first, make one, knit two together, put +in a piece of cotton or wool on the left hand needle, knit one stitch, +bring the ends in front, and knit another, put them back, and knit the +remainder, the next row plain, except the stitch you put the piece in, +take three all together. + + +CARRIAGE BOOTS. + +Cast on fifty-six stitches, with black wool; knit ten rows coloured, ten +black, ten coloured, ten black; increase sixteen ribs on each side; +after the increasing is finished, knit three rows ribbed, with coloured +wool; thirty-seven rows of black;

Cast on sixty stitches on +the fine pins, and knit six rows, knitting two, and purling two +stitches; then take the larger sized one, and knit thirty rows, putting +the wool twice round the pin; then another piece but only twenty-six +rows, and the third only eighteen rows. Commence always in this manner, +with the fine pins, join them altogether at the part which is ribbed, +and put it on a string. + + +ANTI-MACASSAR. + +Cast on one hundred stitches on No. 10 pins, with No. 4 cotton, and knit +one plain row (pattern). _First row_--purled. _Second row_--cotton +forward, and take two together. _Third row_--purled. _Fourth +row_--plain, with No. 2 pins, cotton twice over the pins; repeat these +four rows until the square is complete; sew every six threads of the +large row tightly together in the centre, with scarlet German wool, +fastening off each six securely and separately; then knit any fringe you +may fancy, and join it on. + + +HARLEQUIN QUILTS, +WITH TUFTS. + +Plain double knitting, with six-thread fleecy, in pieces of six inches +square, each of the pieces being about twenty-four stitches each way; +when finished, they are to be sewn together with a tuft of black wool at +the corner of each square. The tufts may be made in the following +manner:--take a groved wooden mesh, an inch in width, wind round it +four-thread black fleecy about twelve times; slip a coarse thread in the +grove, and tie the wool quite tight, leaving an end to it that may be +drawn through and attached to the quilt; cut the loops of wool through +on the opposite side of the mesh, then comb and shear it neatly, for a +quilt two yards and a half square, two hundred and twenty-five pieces +will be required: it will take two hundred and fifty-six tufts. + + +RUFF FOR THE NECK. + +For this you require five-thread super fleecy, and two sized pins, No. 3 +and No. 11; cast on fifty stitches on No. 3, and knit seventeen plain +rows. _Eighteenth row_--double the piece of knitting, and knit the +casting on row in with this one. _Nineteenth, twentieth, and +twenty-first rows_--are plain, with No. 11 pins. _Twenty-second +row_--knit one, bring the wool forward, and take two together to the +end. _Twenty-third, twenty-fourth, and twenty-fifth rows_--plain now; +No. 3 pins, and knit eighteen rows to match the first fold; sew this +side down to match the other; run a ribbon through the holes for +strings. + + +A POLKA COAT, +FOR A CHILD. + +Cast on twenty-five stitches, which will make seventy-five ribs, in the +Brioche stitch, which is done by bringing the wool forward, slipping a +stitch the purl way, and knit two together; bring the wool forward, knit +twenty-four rows, or twelve turns of white; then commence the scarlet, +by leaving eighteen stitches on each side, knit twenty-four rows, or +twelve turns of scarlet; then begin to take in, which is done by +knitting the first thirty on each side, without decreasing; then bring +the wool forward, slip one stitch, and knit five together; repeat this +till within thirty on the other side, which, knit without decreasing, +until you have only forty ribs, or one hundred and twenty stitches; knit +forty-eight rows, or twenty-four turns, in this manner, still leaving +the white on each side; put thirty stitches on another needle for the +front, knit those backwards and forwards for thirty-six rows, or +eighteen turns; then knit all the stitches but one rib, turn back, and +finish the row, and so on, leaving one rib more each time, till it is +the proper length for the shoulder. Cast off, but be particular that the +slanting side is not in front; finish the other side in the same way, +then take up the stitches for the back; knit thirty-six rows, to +correspond with the fronts for the arm-hole; then knit backwards and +forwards, leaving one rib each way, until it is the same length as the +slanting part in front, which are to be joined together; cast off; now +take up the white stitches on each side, and knit till it is long enough +to go up the sides; for the sleeves; cast on seventy-two stitches, knit +thirty rows, then twelve more, leaving one rib on the one side to form +the wide part; for the collar; cast on seventy-six stitches, and knit +twelve rows, leaving one rib on each side; then sixteen rows of white; +cast off; cast on eighteen stitches for the cuff, and knit till it is +long enough to go round the bottom of the sleeve; twist a cord of the +same coloured wool, and put in the waist behind, with a tassel at the +ends; the same under the collar. These may be done in four-thread +fleecy, but they look much better in double Berlin wool, No. 9 pins, by +the Eagle gauge. For a lady's, you must cast on stitches in proportion, +and larger pins. + + +A VERY PRETTY FRINGE. + +Cast on nine stitches; knit one row; second row, begin by knitting two +plain stitches; pass the cotton twice round the pin, and take off two +stitches; then put on the loop.

The front is +made in the following manner:--set on seven stitches, knit two plain +rows; then begin the pattern row; make one stitch, knit a stitch, bring +the cotton forward, take off one without knitting, knit two, bring the +unknitted one over the other two; knit the second row plain; the third +row the same as the first; these two rows form the pattern. You must +only make a stitch, and knit one, at the commencement of every +pattern-row, this is to increase the front; the pattern is continued +throughout; the row is, bring the cotton forward, take off one without +knitting, knit two, bring the unknitted one over the two. When you have +one or two stitches at the end of the row, they must be knitted plain; +continue these two rows till you have done enough for the front of a +baby's body, then cast off very loosely. + +The sleeves are knitted in the same way, only begin with nine stitches; +then knit two plain rows; cast off when proper size. + + +BAND FOR BABY'S BODY. + +Cast on twenty-one stitches; pins and cotton as before. _First +row_--slip one, knit two; bring the thread forward, and knit two +together, knit three, knit two together; bring the thread forward, and +knit one; bring the thread forward, and knit two together, knit five; +bring the thread forward; knit two together, knit one. _Second +row_--slip one, knit two; bring the thread forward; knit two together; +knit the remaining stitches plain all but three; bring the thread +forward, and knit two together, knit one. _Third row_--slip one, knit +two; bring the thread forward, and knit two together, knit two, knit two +together; bring the thread forward; knit three; bring the thread +forward, and knit two together, knit four; bring the thread forward, and +knit two together, knit one. _Fourth row_--the same as the second. +_Fifth row_--slip one, knit two; bring the thread forward, and knit two +together, knit one, knit two together; bring the thread forward, and +knit two; bring the thread forward, and knit two together, knit one; +bring the thread forward, and knit two together, knit three; bring the +thread forward, and knit two together, knit one. _Sixth row_--the same +as the second. _Seventh row_--slip one, knit two; bring the thread +forward, and knit two together, knit two together; bring the thread +forward; knit seven; bring the thread forward, and knit two together, +knit two; bring the thread forward, and knit two together, knit one. +_Eighth row_--the same as the second. _Ninth row_--slip one, knit two; +bring the thread forward, and knit two together, knit two; bring the +thread forward, and knit two together, knit three, knit two together; +bring the thread forward, and knit four; bring the thread forward, and +knit two together, knit one. _Tenth row_--the same as the second. +_Eleventh row_--slip one, knit two; bring the thread forward, knit two +together, knit three; bring the thread forward, knit two together, knit +one, knit two together; bring the thread forward, knit five; bring the +thread forward, knit two together, knit one. _Twelfth row_--the same as +the second. _Thirteenth row_--slip one, knit two; bring the thread +forward, knit two together, knit four; bring the thread forward, and +knit three together; bring the thread forward, knit six; bring the +thread forward, and knit two together, knit one. _Fourteenth row_--the +same as the second; then recommence as at the first row. + + +EDGING TO TRIM THE BODY AND SLEEVES. + +Cast on seven stitches. _First row_--slip one, knit two; bring the +thread forward, and knit two together; make two stitches, and knit two +together. _Second row_--make one, knit two, purl one, knit two; bring +the thread forward, and knit two together, knit one. _Third row_--slip +one, knit two; bring the thread forward, and knit two together, knit +four. _Fourth row_--cast off two, knit three; bring the thread forward, +and knit two together, knit one; then commence as at first. + + +GENTLEMAN'S WOOLEN GLOVES. + +PINS No. 14--WOOL Three-thread Fleecy. + +Cast on seventy-two stitches, and knit twenty rounds; purling two, and +knitting two; then knit six rounds plain. + + +TO FORM A PATTERN FOR THE BACK. + +_First round_--knit seven, purl one; knit eight, purl one; knit eight, +purl one; knit the rest plain. _Second round_--knit six, purl three; +knit six, purl three; knit six, purl three; rest plain. _Third +round_--knit five, purl five; knit four, purl five; knit four, purl +five; rest plain. _Fourth round_--knit as the second. _Fifth +round_--knit as the first. Knit ten rounds plain, still purling one +stitch on the end of each diamond. + +Begin the thumb by making one stitch in each of the two last, at the +same time increasing one plain stitch in the first and third purl +stitches. Continue increasing two stitches on the two thumb stitches, +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. + + + MINERVA PRESS: + PRINTED BY DARLING AND SON, + LEADENHALL STREET, + LONDON. + + + + +Transcriber's Note + + +The following typographical errors were corrected. + + Page Error + iii 1 changed to 17 + iii 2 changed to 26 + 4 alternately, untill changed to alternately, until + 6 one coloured row: changed to one coloured row; + 13 _Third division_--coloured changed to _Third division_--coloured; + 27 inrease again changed to increase again + 30 Eagle guage changed to Eagle gauge + 35 Eagle guage changed to Eagle gauge + 44 eight, purl one: changed to eight, purl one; + 48 stitches between: changed to stitches between; + 48 long stitches: you changed to long stitches; you + 51 piece of velvet: changed to piece of velvet; + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The New Guide to Knitting & Crochet, by +Marie Jane Cooper + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK NEW GUIDE TO KNITTING/CROCHET *** + +***** This file should be named 35582-8.txt or 35582-8.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/3/5/5/8/35582/ + +Produced by Julia Miller and the Online Distributed +Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was +produced from images generously made available by The +Internet Archive) + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right +of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project +Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all +liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal +fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any +provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. + +1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the +trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone +providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance +with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, +promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, +harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, +that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do +or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm +work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any +Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause. + + +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 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@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. diff --git a/35582-8.zip b/35582-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..108eace --- /dev/null +++ b/35582-8.zip diff --git a/35582-h.zip b/35582-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c76346e --- /dev/null +++ b/35582-h.zip diff --git a/35582-h/35582-h.htm b/35582-h/35582-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..0c6211d --- /dev/null +++ b/35582-h/35582-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,1942 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of The New Guide to Knitting & Crochet by Marie Jane Cooper. + </title> + <style type="text/css"> + + p { margin-top: .25em; + text-align: justify; + margin-bottom: .25em; + text-indent: 1em; + } + p.noindent {text-indent: 0em;} + p.titlepage {text-indent: 0em; text-align: center; } + p.materials {text-indent: 0em; text-align: center; } + + h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { + text-align: center; /* all headings centered */ + clear: both; + } + .chapterhead {margin-top: 4em; font-weight: normal;} + .sectionhead {margin-top: 2em; font-weight: normal;} + + hr { width: 33%; + margin-top: 2em; + margin-bottom: 2em; + margin-left: auto; + margin-right: auto; + clear: both; + } + .chapbreak {width: 65%; } + .declong {width: 8em; border: solid black 1px; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;} + .decshort {width: 3em; border: solid black 1px; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;} + + table {margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;} + td {padding-left: 0.5em; padding-right: 0.5em; vertical-align: top;} + .tdc {text-align: center;} + .tdr {text-align: right;} + .tntable {margin-left: 0; } + + body{margin-left: 10%; + margin-right: 10%; + } + + a:focus, a:active { outline:#ffee66 solid 2px; background-color:#ffee66;} + a:focus img, a:active img {outline: #ffee66 solid 2px; } + + img {border: 0;} + + .pagenum { /* uncomment the next line for invisible page numbers */ + /* visibility: hidden; */ + position: absolute; + left: 92%; + font-size: smaller; + font-style: normal; + font-weight: normal; + font-variant: normal; + text-align: right; + text-indent: 0em; + } /* page numbers */ + + .toc {width: 70%; position: relative; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } + .pattern {text-align: left; } + .page {text-align: right; position: absolute; right: 0;} + .smcap {font-variant: small-caps;} + .size50per {font-size: 50%; } + .size70per {font-size: 70%; } + .padleft3 {padding-left: 3em; } + .top2 {margin-top: 2em; } + + .caption {font-size: smaller; } + + .tn {background-color: #EEE; padding: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;} + + </style> + </head> +<body> + + +<pre> + +Project Gutenberg's The New Guide to Knitting & Crochet, by Marie Jane Cooper + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

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. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/35582-h/images/fig01-full.jpg b/35582-h/images/fig01-full.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c2e230b --- /dev/null +++ b/35582-h/images/fig01-full.jpg diff --git a/35582-h/images/fig01.jpg b/35582-h/images/fig01.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c40abff --- /dev/null +++ b/35582-h/images/fig01.jpg diff --git a/35582-h/images/fig02-full.png b/35582-h/images/fig02-full.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..01d9686 --- /dev/null +++ b/35582-h/images/fig02-full.png diff --git a/35582-h/images/fig02.png b/35582-h/images/fig02.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..fc462e4 --- /dev/null +++ b/35582-h/images/fig02.png diff --git a/35582-h/images/fig03-full.jpg b/35582-h/images/fig03-full.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..bc0e83c --- /dev/null +++ b/35582-h/images/fig03-full.jpg diff --git a/35582-h/images/fig03.jpg b/35582-h/images/fig03.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..28b963b --- /dev/null +++ b/35582-h/images/fig03.jpg diff --git a/35582.txt b/35582.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..66cbb6f --- /dev/null +++ b/35582.txt @@ -0,0 +1,1648 @@ +Project Gutenberg's The New Guide to Knitting & Crochet, by Marie Jane Cooper + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

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. + + + MINERVA PRESS: + PRINTED BY DARLING AND SON, + LEADENHALL STREET, + LONDON. + + + + +Transcriber's Note + + +The following typographical errors were corrected. + + Page Error + iii 1 changed to 17 + iii 2 changed to 26 + 4 alternately, untill changed to alternately, until + 6 one coloured row: changed to one coloured row; + 13 _Third division_--coloured changed to _Third division_--coloured; + 27 inrease again changed to increase again + 30 Eagle guage changed to Eagle gauge + 35 Eagle guage changed to Eagle gauge + 44 eight, purl one: changed to eight, purl one; + 48 stitches between: changed to stitches between; + 48 long stitches: you changed to long stitches; you + 51 piece of velvet: changed to piece of velvet; + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The New Guide to Knitting & Crochet, by +Marie Jane Cooper + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK NEW GUIDE TO KNITTING/CROCHET *** + +***** This file should be named 35582.txt or 35582.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/3/5/5/8/35582/ + +Produced by Julia Miller and the Online Distributed +Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was +produced from images generously made available by The +Internet Archive) + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.
