A Carriage Bag.
No. 40.
The above pattern may be worked in German wool, or crochet silk. If an useful and durable bag be desired, the following colours will be found to work well on a black ground.—Commence with a chain and two rows of black. Crochet the border pattern as follows:—
First row—one stitch scarlet; four black; two middle green; three black; one scarlet.—Repeat.
Second row—three stitches scarlet; two black; two light green; one black; two lilac; one black.—Repeat.
Third row—one stitch black; three scarlet; four black; two white; one black.—Repeat.
Fourth row—one stitch black; three scarlet; two black; two lilac; three black.—Repeat.
Fifth row—two stitches black; three scarlet; one black; two white; one black; two middle green.—Repeat.
Sixth row—four stitches black; two scarlet; three black; two light green.—Repeat.
Crochet one plain row of black. Work the sprig pattern in the same colours as the border,—arranging them in the following order: first row,—scarlet; second,—middle green; third,—light green; fourth,—lilac; fifth,—white.
If German wool be used, the white may be worked with floss silk.
