To Make Slip Stitch
Make 15 chain stitches. Skip one chain. Put the hook through the next chain stitch; wrap yarn over needle, and draw it through both loops on the needle. Continue to make slip stitches to end of chain. Turn the work, and make a second row.
As you may guess, Mary Frances had very little trouble in making these stitches, for Crow Shay was a wonderful help.
“You are certainly quick at learning these stitches, my dear niece,” said her aunt. “I think—I really think that you have learned them even more quickly than I did.”
“I wonder what Aunt Maria would say if she knew about Crow Shay,” thought Mary Frances; but she only smiled, and kept on making single crochet stitches.
“That is all for to-night’s lesson,” said her aunt. “It is nearly your bedtime. I will walk home with you.”
