Fasten the petticoat at waist with a runner.

To Make the Runner

1. Cut a piece of floss about 1½ yards long.

2. Fold it in the middle, and with the doubled floss, make a long chain of chain stitches.

3. Putting the crochet hook through the stitches at the top of the petticoat, pull the runner through. (See picture above.)

“How lovely and warm Mary Marie will be!” exclaimed Mary Frances as she finished the little petticoat with the help of Fairly Flew’s magic needle.

“Do not let her wear that in summer,” said the Yarn Baby.
