INSTRUCTIONS
Note to Beginners: Before attempting to make any of the following articles, make those given in the story part of this book.
The articles that follow need not be made in the order given.
ABBREVIATIONS USED IN CROCHETING AND KNITTING
When you look at the directions usually given for making crocheted and knitted articles you will find the names of the stitches abbreviated. Although abbreviations are not used in this book, it is well to know those in the following list:
| sc. | single crochet |
| dc. | double crochet |
| tr.c. | treble crochet |
| sl.st. | slip stitch |
| ch.st. | chain stitch |
| st. | stitch |
| k | knit |
| *——* | repeat directions between stars |
Note.—In order to become familiar with these abbreviations—think of single crochet as “sc.”, and of double crochet as “dc.” Instead of using the words, use the letters when you read the directions. Say “2 s-c’s” or “3 d-c’s”; not 2 single crochets, or 3 double crochets.
TREBLE CROCHET
In making Treble Crochet make about 15 chain stitches. Skip 3 chains. Wrap the yarn around the needle twice, before putting hook through the chain stitch. Wrap, and draw yarn through chain stitch. Wrap, and draw yarn through 2 loops. Wrap, and draw yarn through 2 loops. Wrap, and draw through 2 loops.
