Afghan Stitch
Before beginning the sacque, practice making afghan stitch with four-fold Germantown wool.
Make 9 chain stitches. Pull a loop through each stitch of the chain except the one next the needle. That is, skip one chain. See Cut 1, [page 233].
Pull a loop through the loop nearest the hook. Cut 2.
Pull a loop through the next two loops nearest the hook. Continue to pull a loop through two loops in this way (Cut 3) until only one loop remains on the needle.
You will now notice the long straight upright loops on the front, or the right side, of your work. Cut 4.
DETAILS OF AFGHAN STITCH
Put the hook under the nearest long loop on the front of the row of stitches just made, and pull a loop through. Cut 4. Continue to pull loops through the entire row in this way, and take the loops off the needle in the same way as they were pulled through the stitches in Cuts 2 and 3.
