If worked for a bag, or sac de voyage, the pattern should be commenced from the bottom, thus forming a border at the lower part; but if a pillow, table cover, or couvre-pied, is intended to be made,—first crochet two plain rows, and then commence the pattern as at the sixteenth row.
For working the larger articles in the above pattern, fleecy may be employed; for the smaller—German wool; and for the more elegant—chenille and gold, or silk and gold.
