DRESS GLOVE BANDS; FULL OR FRILLED SHAPE.
Take three pieces of fine embroidery chenille, and a No. 3 bone crochet hook.
Make a chain of about forty stitches, or one long enough to go round the wrist; Dc one row.
3rd row—Two long, one chain and miss a stitch—repeat this all along. Then one row Dc.
6th row—Long crochet worked very loosely, so much so as to leave these stitches at least half an inch high; two stitches to be put into every second or third loop and one in each of the others all the way along; fasten off.
Join the chenille now on to the first row, and work a similar row or frill to the one just directed, so that there be one on each side.
Run a narrow velvet through the holes of the third row and affix wider velvet ends, or chenille tassels to each extremity. Finish off with a button and loop, and flute the frill on each side over the finger to make it set.
We need scarcely say that the chenille used should be selected to match or agree with the evening dress, and that the velvet must match the chenille.
These bands may be made to look very handsome by working a row of Dc loosely and evenly along the edge of each frill with gold or silver twist, and running a band of gold or silver braid or trimming through the holes in the third row instead of velvet. Then small bullion tassels to match the twist will form a suitable and elegant finish.
These bands may be worked round and slid over the hand like muffatees, or made open as we have directed and buttoned, like the glove. The buttons should be covered with crochet, and the loops crocheted.
