Turn the work again, and work the next two rows of white stitches round the meshes.
Repeat the same operation over every other line of blue squares.
Now take the work cross-way, and work in white, as before, every space left; then cut the ends of the white wool.
Make up the bag with a top of silk, line it, add cords and tassels, and it is complete.
If preferred without silk, have canvass the full size for a carriage bag and work it all over.
D’OYLEY IN SQUARE CROCHET.
[Fig. 6.]
Materials.—Cotton, No. 16; crochet hook, No. 18. Eagle card-board gauge.
The size I have given for materials will make this d’oyley about 20 inches, as there are 88 squares, and 9 squares are equal to 2 inches. Of course, with finer cottons and hooks, the size will be diminished. Patterns given in square crochet are very pretty worked in two colours of wool. The open squares should be worked in one colour, and the close in the other; every square consisting of three dc. stitches. Mats of this description should be tacked on a stand previously formed of stout card or mill-board, covered with green calico or silk.

Visitors to the London Exhibition, will recognise this pattern as one of those in the gallery of that wondrous palace: I presume, therefore, it will be very acceptable to my fair readers.
