Directions for Making the Sacque:
Begin the work at back of yoke which is made with afghan stitch.
1. Chain 30; that is, make 30 chain stitches.
2. Keeping the last chain stitch on the hook, pull a loop through each stitch of the chain (except the one next to the needle) making 30 loops on the needle.
3. To take the stitches off, throw the yarn over the hook, pull hook through first loop. Throw yarn over the hook. Pull hook through 2 loops.
4. Continue to pull hook through 2 loops until but one loop remains on needle.
5. Pull a loop through each long loop (do not count the chain stitches on the edge as a long loop), leaving each on the needle. Do not turn the work, always work on the right side.
6. Repeat direction No. 3 and No. 4.
7. Make 10 rows of afghan stitch.
8. On the next row make loops in 10 stitches only—to form shoulder.
