No. 40.
The above pattern may be worked in German wool, or crochet silk. If an useful and durable bag be desired, the following colours will be found to work well on a black ground.—Commence with a chain and two rows of black. Crochet the border pattern as follows:—
First row—one stitch scarlet; four black; two middle green; three black; one scarlet.—Repeat.
Second row—three stitches scarlet; two black; two light green; one black; two lilac; one black.—Repeat.
Third row—one stitch black; three scarlet; four black; two white; one black.—Repeat.
Fourth row—one stitch black; three scarlet; two black; two lilac; three black.—Repeat.
Fifth row—two stitches black; three scarlet; one black; two white; one black; two middle green.—Repeat.
Sixth row—four stitches black; two scarlet; three black; two light green.—Repeat.
Crochet one plain row of black. Work the sprig pattern in the same colours as the border,—arranging them in the following order: first row,—scarlet; second,—middle green; third,—light green; fourth,—lilac; fifth,—white.
If German wool be used, the white may be worked with floss silk.
