To Make the Tie
Crochet 15 chain stitches and hang a tassel to the end for trimming; or instead of making a tassel, crochet single crochet stitches over a little brass ring if you have one; or
Wind the yarn around a lead pencil 8 times. Without breaking the yarn slip the ring thus formed off the pencil. (See picture [p. 189].)
(a) Tie it together with sewing thread.
(b) Make single crochet stitches over the ring until it is filled, and without breaking the yarn, make a chain of 15 stitches.
Sew the chain to the sweater at the end of the collar.
Make another tie in this same way.
When the beautiful little sweater was finished, with the help of the magic knitting needles, Mary Frances was too happy for words, and Mary Marie danced up and down with joy.
“’Et Mary M’rie see herse’f in the glass!” she begged. “Please, Mamma, ’et her loot at et!”
