Second row—gold.
Crochet eleven plain rows in scarlet.
Fourteenth row—gold.
Fifteenth row—scarlet.
On each side of the band thus made, crochet two rows of treble open crochet in gold.
Four plain scarlet stripes, and five of the open crochet, arranged as in the preceding example, complete the bag.
A Bag with Five Points.
Commence with a chain of eight stitches: having united the ends, make every other stitch a treble increased stitch,—by crocheting three stitches in one loop. Continue to increase in a similar manner, until twenty-eight rows be worked, taking care that the increasing stitches be kept exactly over each other; when a point in the centre, and a point at the termination of each line of dividing stitches, will be formed. The remaining part of the bag is to be worked in rounds, until it be of sufficient height.
The prettiest way of working this description of bag, is with steel or gold beads.
The following pine pattern may be taken for the centre of each division of points.
