A Couvre-Pied, or Cradle Quilt.
This pattern is very easy, and the effect exceedingly good. It is well adapted for working with chiné wool.
No. 14.
The chain and first row black. The next row alternate stitches of black and chiné wool (say blue). The ground of the first stripe is in blue chiné wool, with the pattern in white. The dividing line black. The ground of the next stripe is worked in scarlet chiné wool, with the pattern in white, except the centre line or wave, which should be black.
Raised Crochet.
Raised, or ribbed crochet is worked in rows from right to left, according to the ordinary method; but the side of the work is reversed at every alternate row, as in plain crochet (see [page 14]), hence it becomes the same as that description of work, with this exception, that the back, or under stitch, is always to be taken; it has therefore a ribbed or raised appearance, and is rendered thicker and closer, and of a more elastic texture.
