A Bag with Five Points.
Commence with a chain of eight stitches: having united the ends, make every other stitch a treble increased stitch,—by crocheting three stitches in one loop. Continue to increase in a similar manner, until twenty-eight rows be worked, taking care that the increasing stitches be kept exactly over each other; when a point in the centre, and a point at the termination of each line of dividing stitches, will be formed. The remaining part of the bag is to be worked in rounds, until it be of sufficient height.
The prettiest way of working this description of bag, is with steel or gold beads.
The following pine pattern may be taken for the centre of each division of points.

The upper part of the bag may be semé, with a pattern composed of beads, such as the following.

The top may be finished with three plain rows of crochet; or with any small border pattern in beads, similar to those figured beneath: but for this purpose there are several others, in various parts of the book, equally appropriate, and that may be selected according to the taste of the worker.
