WASHING AND BLOCKING CROCHET

Using hot water and a mild soap, make thick suds, add cold water until suds are lukewarm.

Let the article stand in the suds a very few minutes, then squeeze in and out until thoroughly clean. Rinse in clear water several times or until sure the soap is removed. Roll in a bath towel. This will absorb some of the moisture.

The work is now ready for blocking. Lay the work on a padded ironing board or a flat surface and pin in position with rust proof pins, stretching it gently to correct size and shape. Press through a damp cloth and leave in position until dry.
