WINDOW CURTAIN AND STOVE APRON.
WINDOW CURTAIN AND STOVE APRON.
MATERIALS..—Brooks' Great Exhibition Prize Goat's-head Knitting Cord, No. 40, with a suitable Crochet Hook.
The number of stitches in this curtain must depend, of course, on the width of the window for which it is intended. Each pattern requires a foundation of 102 chain stitches; and the borders at the sides 57 chain each. As there will be about 560 stitches in a yard, or very nearly five patterns and one border, it will be easy to reckon the number required for any given width. A curtain two yards wide will require 1,135 stitches, which will allow ten patterns of the convulvulus, and the two borders; to this, every 102 stitches added will make one wreath more, nearly equalling in width the sixth of a yard.
The whole of this curtain is done in square crochet, the design in close squares, and the ground in open.
