Scroll Pattern Stripe for a Bag.
Commence with chain and first row,—bright green.
Second row—scarlet.
Third row—green.
Fourth, fifth, and sixth rows—treble open crochet, with gold.
No. 38.
Seventh, eighth, and ninth rows—repeat the first, second, and third rows. Then,—crochet a stripe, consisting of eleven rows, with the above pattern, in dead gold colour, on a violet ground. As these stripes range perpendicularly, the position of the scrolls in the pattern should be reversed at the bottom of the bag, in order that they may appear the same on either side.
This bag may be worked in various combinations of colour; it is very pretty if the pattern be worked in shaded, or chiné, silk, and the stripes alternately in two different colours.
It may be as well to observe, that the plain line on either side of the scroll, as shown in this, as in many other patterns, may be advantageously omitted. It has therefore not been noticed in the preceding directions.
