In every row, increasing stitches are to be made in the blue; and also, in the plain rows of black.
A Chancelière.
Four-thread fleecy with a steel needle.
It is impossible to give the exact number of stitches for the commencement of a chancelière, as each row varies; it is advisable, therefore, to cut the shape in stiff paper, as a pattern,—first of the top, and then of the border. In those parts where it is requisite to increase the width of the work, it should be done by making an extra stitch on each side. The stitches of the border are to be worked in a contrary direction to those of the top, as shown in the preceding engraving.—The following pattern will be found suitable for a chancelière.
No. 33.
Commence at the toe, by working two plain rows of ground in scarlet, and crochet the centre stripe of the annexed pattern in rich green, on the same coloured ground.
The ground of the next stripe is black, on which the pattern is to be worked in three shades of gold colour.
Work a plain row of middle blue, which also forms the ground of the small chain pattern, with the exception of the centre row, which is claret. The chain is in white.
