TARBUCH
In black netting silk and gold thread.
The Tarbuch is taken from one worked in Egypt, and is the correct shape. It is worked with very fine purse silk, twelve skeins; Japanese or Chinese gold thread, the finest size, wind this in balls; a fine crochet hook. The pattern consists of a star in the centre of the crown: this star has 10 divisions, a border of vine leaves round the edge, and powdered ground.
Commence the crown with black silk, with a chain of 4, unite; in this work 10 double crochet.
2nd round—In every stitch of last round work 1 black and 1 gold. In working with two colours you should knot the two threads together in beginning, and throughout the work hold both evenly over the same finger of the left hand, then, as you proceed, keep the thread not in use in regular rotation over and under the thread in use; by this means you work them in. Care must be taken never to completely finish a stitch with the one colour; if it is done you have two stitches of the colour and throw the pattern wrong. In this 2nd round put the needle into the stitch, draw through the black silk, take up the gold and finish the stitch; take up the next stitch with gold, finish it with black. You have now two distinct stitches.
3rd round—1 black on the black, 2 gold on the 1 in last round.
