HOUSEHOLD LINED For many years convention has required that the edge of a lace border should be either in pointed vandykes, or in round scallops. And there is no denying that points and scallops make very pretty finishes to the edges of linen. But this does not mean that the straight edge is inartistic. On the contrary, there are many forms of work that need a straight edge, and many types that are quite unsuited to a finish of points or scallops. ‘Filet mesh crochet is a notable instance. Here you have a form of needlework entirely built up of squares. To finish this off with rounded scallops, or even with points, is to introduce discord, and to spoil the whole, because scallops and squares will not combine artistically. The square mesh, with its straight lines running at right angles, requires straight lines to finish it off. And this is why it is that a piece of filet mesh crochet if let into a plain untrimmed hem-stitched cloth looks well, whereas, if you trim that same cloth, containing the filet inlet, with a scalloped, or ruffled, or zigzaged lace edging, it will look utterly commonplace, if not vulgar. In this book we are giving suggestions for finishing cloths with a straight edge. This will be welcomed by those who are following the modern trend of all decorative work, which is in the direction of simplicity and restricted ornamentations. Another. feature of this book is the number of designs showing natural flowers in filet crochet. These make a welcome change from the conventional designs that have become rather monotonous, and are often meaningless. The value of the Inlet is also well evidenced in this book. Workers who do not feel competent to undertake a large piece of work, can achieve artistic results if they specialize on inlets. 1 B.C.

For the Rosebud Room. The girl who hasa rosebud room will see many possibilities in the filet crochet design here illustrated. She can use it as a single motif to let into her nightdress case. She can add the little edge as shown and use the design as a lace, with or without the corner. Or she can omit the edge and the corner, and use it asacurtain top for short curtains. Indeed, there are end- less possibilities for such a pattern. From the outline diagram it can be seen exactly which are open and which solid meshes. The pattern iscommenced ona length of 92ch. There are 29 meshes in each row, and the design starts at the bottom right hand corner, as shown on the diagram. When the corner is reached, the design is worked from the side of the diagram, then continued as before, If the design is used as an insertion, the edges are given a firm finish by working dc closely into every mesh. If itis to be used as a lace, the edging should be added as illustrated. This is worked as follows :— lst Row.—3 dc into each space, 6 dc into corner space. THE OUTLINE DIAGRAM FOR WORKING. 2nd Row.—1 tr, 3 ch over each space. 3rd Row.—2 dc, 4 ch, 2dc into each space, putting an extra one at the corner. a Bae) Neaeeen siescocencntccssanay | BECUT SR EFIITES | THE DESIGN WITH A CORNER.

The Daffodil in Crochet. Floral designs in filet crochet can be adapted in a variety of ways to beautify household linen, Indeed it is only when one actually takes a design and starts to apply it in various ways that one realizes how pretty and effective this work may become. The daffodil design here shown is no exception, and the illustrations on these pages will give some idea of the beautiful results obtained by letting it in to table linen in various forms. In this particular pattern a triangular corner is shown for letting into a tea 3 i“ cloth, also an insertion with a corner to turn, Both these will probably not be used on the same cloth— unless it is a very large one—but some workersmay preferoneandsome the other form of ornamentation. The handsome cloth shown on this page has the triangle let into one corner, while in the remaining three corners are daffodil inlets. This is an exquisite piece of work, and well repays the trouble devoted to it. Full directions for the triangular corner are given below, as well as a jjereusaanennesanentn sner tendo ngaurarannereeuinres gad nn cana coneieeueren ativan neansn arian dareianaannstedascansecgenuunanyysarauansen valent reine naquaantagensbnegnetnasaa anna rang gata SMtAe UREN 4 HANDSOME CLOTH WITH THE DAFFODIL OORNER AND THREE INLETS. 11

The Daffodil in Crochet. diagram. From the diagram of the single daffodil it will be quite easy to count the number of open and solid meshes in each row. The tea cloth is hem-stitched, and a pretty little filet border worked on to the edge. For this also, directions are included, Acloth for the tray or table, after the style of the one on page 20, would be most effective. For this the daffodil insertion would be used. A tiny picot edge is worked on to this, which nicely finishes it. If, however, the design is used entirely as an insertion, and has a hem of linen beyond it, the little edge would not be required. The design on this cloth is not identically the same as the insertion dealt with here, but it serves to show the manner in which “a pattern of this kind can be effectively employed. A very handsome cloth could be made without using the inlets, merely putting the daffodil triangle in one corner and leaving the other corners plain. Abbreviations Used. ; O = open mesh; S = solid mesh. Bach open mesh is made by working 2ch, 1 tr over 3 ch, and each solid mesh by working 3 tr over 3 ch. Each row should be turned with 5 ch, if the first mesh is an open one, 3 ch if it is solid. The Triangular Comer. This design is com- menced A TRIANGULAR CORNER WORKED. bottom right hand corner. The worked pattern is illustrated, also an outline design, which will make it very easy for the worker to check her work. The directions are given for working the corner exactly as shown inthe diagram. Inthe worked corner, however, a pretty finish is added by including an extra open mesh in each row on the diagonal edge, and after- wards working 3 dc into each mesh. Start with 323 chain. 1st Row.—106 open spaces. 2nd Row.—105 open spaces. 3rd Row.—15 O, 3 S, 25 O, 4S, 210,18, 130,75, 15 O. 4th Row.—13 0, 9S, 90,35, 19 0, 4S, 260,68, 140. 5th Row.—14 0, 10S, 40, 10S, 11 0, 4S, 170, 3S, 70, 45S, 30,58, 100. 6th Row.—9 O, 48, 60, 3S,50,3S, 160,358, 120,10S,40,4S, 10, 78, 140.

Page 31

ov The Fuchsia Cloth. The beautiful Fuchsia Cloth on page 22 is not nearly as difficult or complicated as one might imagine. The pattern simply consists of a single fuchsia repeated, and there are only 19 rows in this pattern. In turning the corners, however, the fuchsia is reversed, so that while at the sides of the cloth it is shown with the bud on the left of the fuchsia, itis shown at the ends‘with the bud on the right. Diagrams for both fuchsias are given, so that no difficulty may arise in working. Starting at A marked on thecorner illustrated on page 24, and which is also marked on the single fuchsia diagram on page 24, work this A Diagram of one of the Corners. 23 AC The Single Fuchsia used in the ends of the cloth.

When this point is reached, start the corner design shown on page 23, and work this to point C. It is at the corner that the design reverses for the sake of the arrangement of the leaves. Having completed this corner, the working of which can be clearly understood from the diagram, start the second fuchsia design at point C. Complete it and work two more complete fuchsias. ‘This brings you to point D, where the second corner starts. Work this according to the diagram on this page, and continue as from the A Diagram of the opposite Corner. 24 of

This section is shown on the enlarged diagram on this page. A corner of the cloth is illustrated on page 35. The edge of the lace is finished by working 3 dc into each open mesh, and 6 dc at the corners. 2nd Row.—1 tr, 3 ch over each mesh. 25 8rd Row.—2dc, 4ch, 2dc. The cloth can be made whatever shape or size is desired, simply in- creasing the number of patterns. It is not by any means a laborious design to work, as one pattern is very quickly finished. A strip of these fuchsias would make an attrac- tive curtain top, and the worker will doubtless think of a variety of ways in which the pattern could be adapted.

The pattern is shown in two ways, with the flowers close together as above, and with two open meshes between each, as in the insertion, Probably it is hardly necessary to point out that this could not be used on a@ cloth that hangs over the edge of atable, as the flower would then be upside down. The corner does not overlap the pattern at all. ~ You simply work a sufficient number of the single flowers to bring the work, with the corner, to the size required. The irises can be close together, as on the worked corner, or two rows of open meshes can be left between each pattern, as in the worked insertion. For an insertion with a corner, the worker would start at A, as shown on the corner diagram. Work a sufficient number of the single flowers, and then work the corner straight on. This brings you to the edge of the cloth. Now on the side of this corner, work up and down for the flowers on the next side. Proceed in this way round the cloth. A DIAGRAM OF THE SINGLE IRIS 27

The Short ‘The short window curtain has risen in importance of recent years. In Victorian times it was the longest of long curtains that our grandmothers craved, and the more a house strove to look fashionable, the more it banished the short curtain and went in for long ones, upstairs as well as down.

Women are studying con- venience as well as appearance, and they are trying to reduce the house- hold , work The short curtain has a great advantage where possible. over the long one in several direc- tions. It secures privacy, and yet does not shut out the light that always comes in at the top of the window. Also, it takes far less time to wash and get up than does the three - yards - and-a-half curtain. Hence the vogue:of the casement curtain. And nothing looks prettier than these short window draperies, whether looked at from without or within. The large curtains may be of a handsome design, yet only a small portion of this is really seen. Half of the long curtain is away from the light, and some of it lies on the floor; hence the lovely pattern is never seen in its entirety—only a section shows to the street, or is really evident to the room. The small curtain. is seen in its

And because acurtain looks best with a little fullness across the window, the crochet band across the top is the most artistic method of applying fancy needlework to the curtain, although strips let in curtains can be hung on a brass rod, to allow of one or another being pushed back if need be; this is a pretty style for living-room windows. But which- ever method is preferred, it will be found that the solid pattern on the open-mesh background is the most effective heading that can be em- ployed—only—the design must be a A DIAGRAM FOR WORKING THE CHERRY CURTAIN TOP. 40

good one! Don’t vul- garise your windows — by displaying at them inar- tistic needle- work. This book contains several new patterns that lave been specially de- signed by us for window curtains, as there is a real dearth of good designs suit- able for this purpose. The ‘‘Iris’’ heading on page 26 is particularly handsome, and the natural flowers are a happy relief from the usual designs one sees till one is weary of them. Or the bunches of cherries make a very sweet head- ing, sugges- tive of Son t ry scenes and bird - haunt- ed orchards. The swal- low design also is a good one for curtain tops.

A Tulip Toilet Cover. In undertaking a large piece of work, it is well to choose for your design something that can be worked in small sections. Small pieces are easier to hold and to work, and one does not get so tired of them as of the large pieces of work. For this reason, inlets are a very good way of applying crochet to linen. They can be worked in small sec- tions, and afterwards appliedtothe material in whatever pattern may be desired, to make a beautiful whole. A novel applying a crochet flower way for filet inlet is shown ‘on page 58. ‘The cloth is a toilet chest cover for a of drawers.

No directions are given here for the Wood Spurge Inlet, as this is described in “Artistic Crochet,” nor for the Mountain Ash Corners, which are described in ‘‘The Modern Crochet Book.” Both these volumes are published uniform in style and price with “ Beautiful Crochet on Household Linen,’ and are issued by the same publishers. This cloth would be used the other way round, which will then give the centre inlet the right way up. 48

3 Peacock Cloth. Here is a cloth that is distinctly novel, and yet within the powers of all crochet workers. The two pea- cocks—one on a wall with drooping feathers, and one with tail outspread Both easily be worked from —are executed in filet crochet. these can the diagrams below, aud on page 55. Since the narrow design is worked across from side to side, it will be easier to work the other peacock in the same way, as the inlets will not look so well worked differently. When these are finished they are let into opposite corners of the cloth in the usual way, first sewing them on the right side, and then cutting away the material from the back and turning ina narrow hem on that side. The cloth measures 16 inches square when finished, though the size may, of course, be varied accord- ing to the purpose for which it is required. It is made of Hardanger Canvas, and is hem-stitched. In the two remaining corners are little squares of drawn-thread work. These four corners are linked up by a line of drawn work, which cuts straight across the little squares. If preferred, these peacocks would look quite as well on an oblong cloth for a tray, as on a square design. The cloth would look very pretty on a small bedside table, or for any purpose where it could be flat so as to show the scheme, or the design, arranged in this way, would be excellent for a cushion cover. Although the design as it now stands is a well balanced one, it would also be pretty to use.one of the peacocks only, repeating it as required. Kither would look effective used singly. in the centre of a chair-back,. and a very novel and bold obtained rather effect is by using a coarse crochet cotton for work- ing them. Line who is planning worker a Bird Room will certainly find these natural- looking peacock designs a great acquisition, to be used in one way or another. The Peacock Cloth is trated on the illus- opposite page.

About In order to get the best results when using crochet as an inlet, it is absolutely necessary to be most careful in every detail. First the crochet should be arranged ou the linen in differ- , ent positions so as to find out the most effective way of When this is decided, pin placing it. the crochet on the linen and test the measurements with ayard measure, or if using Har- dangercanvas, count the threads between points, do not guess! When drawn thread work is used as well as crochet, get this done after pinning on the crochet, so that the drawn thread will be a guide for keeping straight. If you study the twisted filet crochet, illustrated, you will see that the heim- stitch and drawn thread work on the other side are at equal dis- tances from the points of crochet. For theinlet Two row of rounds, ment curtain. points, and a straight row, W.

Another detail that should not be over- looked is that the crochet must be placed evenly on the linen, as if it is put on too full or pulled into shape, when the material has been cut back, of course the crochet will pull the linen out of. shape. Remember that the inlet takes the place of the linen, and so must be exactly the saine size. After the measure- ments haye been : tested, tack the work carefully on, then hem it to the material on the right side, cut away the material at the back of the crochet, leaving apiece wide enough to make a narrow hem against the treble or double cro- chet edge. Inlets for Casement Curtains. If the croch- et inletis used for casement s of Outline stitch are worked here, one around the here the hem is turned in. curtains, the

About Crochet Inlets. back of the work should not only be neat but also ornamental, fancy stitches worked on the hem arouud inlet look well. On the hem at the back of the twisted filet crochet a zigzag chain stitch is worked, ordinary feather stitch is used for the back of the rounds, For the crochet let in across the corner, two rows of outline stitch are worked, one around the points “and a straight row where the hem is turned in. When the work is finished‘ turn it on the wrong side, put a fine damp cloth over it and press out the creases with a hot iron. The Inlet of Rounds.

Start again on the sane side of insertion, but in the treble of the 8th hole from the top, patterns and Ist row of another pattern, fasten off. (To finish the 4th side of the Ist diamond, start on the tr of 8th O from the top, work ist row into side of insertion, work 2 patterns and Ist row of another pattern, fasten off). Work tr on each side of insertion, work 2 sl st into the centre of the long piece of insertion to the end of 4th side while working. For the other sections of the insertion, instead of 4 patterns at the beginning, start the section in the back loops of tr in centre of long piece, and exactly opposite the end of 4th side of diamond,—working a row like 4th row of pattern, then work 3 patterns and corner and finish like the Ist section, omitting the extra piece on 4th side in brackets.

Use Ardern’s Crochet Cotton, No. 24. This design is worked on the . cross, i.e.. an extra block is worked on ch and first tr at the beginning of alternate rows, and a block is left at the end of these rows. For a large piece of work a second inlet would look most effective. In 64 this case, leave a piece of. linen between, and then let in a longer piece of this insertion in the saine way as the first. Work this piece as directed to the 30th row, putting 9ch turn instead of 4 ch turn, then repeat from 7th row to 30th row, and finish off as directed from 30th row. Abbreviations.

A Butterfly Corner. A DIAGRAM FOR WORKING THE CLOTH SHOWN ON PAGE 114. The illustration on page 114 shows a very novel idea fora tea-cloth. At each corner is let in the Butterfly filet crochet, and at the sides the linen is hemstitched to half the depth of the insertion. Finally, around each of the four sides of the cloth a little filet crochet edge is worked. This little edge is the same as that used on the Daffodil cloth, and it is described on page 17. From the diagram on this page the number of open and solid meshes in the Butterfly corner can easily be counted. There are 28 meshes in the pattern, which is commenced with 89 chain. ( This design would make a good insertion to go allround the sides of a large cloth. In this case the three outer butterflies would be repeated as many times as required for the length of the side, reversing the pattern at the centre of each side to get the corners right.

It is very seldom that the toilet cover has any word of recognition in modern literature! Iam inclined to think it is the most neglected item of household linen. We hear about glorified towels, luncheon cloths, and pillow cases ; even the humble but necessary tea-towel has been promoted to a bright red border, with “Tea-cloth ” woven in fancy lettering. But novelties in the way of toilet covers are seldom seen. Iwas recently much struck with this deficiency. A friend in the country asked me if I would get some toilet covers and send to her. It was not until I was actually hunting for pretty ones, that I discovered how difficult it was to find any. Here and there, by chance, I found something a little out of the common (that I darkly suspect was a large tray cloth, and never made for a toilet cover); but. in the main, I was always shown some thick and rather clumsy article, suggestive of the old-time heavy white quilts. Andan additional irritation was the fact that nearly all had fringes and fringe on a toilet cover is a positive abomination. If you value the appearance of your bedroom, make your toilet cover as beautiful as you can, but bear in mind that one essential of beauty is that it shall be best suited to the purpose for which it is intended. Hence, mere ornamentation, without due consideration for the life-work of a toilet cover, is not necessarily beautiful. If the top of the chest shows a good polished surface, do not cover it all over. Puta narrow runner on the front half, where things are most often put down; this will save any scratches. The back is often occupied with one or another of the pretty fancy boxes so popular, and so convenient for holding oddments. No cover is really necessary under these, unless the top is very shabby. A fairly coarse linen is one of the nicest fabrics for these runners. I invariably use this myself, as I find the weight of the linen keeps it from rucking up, or getting easily disarranged. Into this linen, crochet can be inlet, with most effective results; a deep border or design of crochet being added at the ends that hang over. If the wood is dark, it throws up the crochet, or any other handwork that may be used, in strong relief. 86

Page 100

A Simple Fuchsia Here is a design that will lend itself to treatment in a variety of ways, the fuchsia pattern being effective either as a lace, aninsertion, or an inlet, and being suitable for various purposes. It is particularly pretty as it appears on the toilet runner, on page 92, with the wide lace at each end, and an inlet in the centre. Four patterns have been worked for the lace at the ends, and these are simply sewn to the edges of the runner, the sides of which are hem-stitched. This is a good wearing pattern, and used on a heavy linen, it will wear and launder well. The runner, when finished, measures 64 inches long by 12 inches wide. For a wider runner, more of the fuchsia patterns should be worked, or, as this design is equally suitable A DIA | | | GRAM FOR WORKING THE FUCHSIA INLET. attern. for a tablecloth border, an enlarged diagram of a corner is given for any who may like to use it for that purpose. An enlarged detail of the inlet is also given, and this would also make an exceedingly pretty insertion if repeated for the required length. An insertion with a corner can very easily be obtained by omit- ting the vandyke from the lace, making the two edges quite straight. The work simply consists of open and solid meshes, and the necessary number of each can be counted from the diagrams. A particular advantage of a droop- ing design such as this is that it is equally suitable for use on a flat surface or on a cloth that hangs over the edge of a table or chest of drawers. So many pretty patterns only lend themselves to treatment in one posi- tion, but the many ways inwhichthis design can be adapted, make it a most useful one. A further detail, show- ing the end of the run- ner, will be found on page 103. Four ofthe inlets would be very effective in the corners ofatea-cloth

Crochet Braid on Filet Crochet. At the first glance these designs look like braid on crochet, but the braid itself is really erochet worked into filet crochet with a coarser crocinet hook and thread. It takes a little practice to get ac- customed to holding the work in the right way, but when this is learnt, the crochet braid can be done easily and quickly, and the result is very effective. The patterns illustrated are worked on lines of open mesh with coarse mercerised thread. In Ardern’s “Star Sylko,” No. 5 is a good size to use, with Ardern’s Lustrous, No. 22, or No. 24 ordinary cotton for the filet mesh. Other patterns in filet crochet could be outlined with this stitch. A finer thread, No. 8, should be used when the foundation is worked in finer cotton. The Crochet Braid. The crochet braid is worked in this way. Place the thread over the fingers as usual in crochet, make a loop to start the chain, hold the filet crochet on the top of the thread This pincushion is worked in two shades of amber, and has a crocheted edge. between finger and thumb, in the same position as the work is held when working herring- bone SPIE Gh .

If the line goes under pass the loop under instead of over the centre thread. The Filet Crochet. The filet crochet foundation is very simple, it consists of blocks of solid mesh with an open mesh inthe centre. and lines, 2 open mesh wide, around. The filet crochet insertion for the bedspread and top of pinafore is each 3 blocks wide, is worked as follows.

The pinafore top is the same pat- tern as the straight part of the insertion for the bedspread, but is worked in finer threads. Use Ardern'’s Lustrous Cotton, No. 30, for the filet crochet, and “Star Sylko,” No. 8, for the crochet braid. Start the square of insertion in the centre of the back.

A Border Design in Squares. Each pattern of this design, when completed, forms a square which, arranged in different ways, would make a novel and effective trimming for a bedspread or teacloth. In the illustration the pattern is arranged in diamonds; to form a corner for this, putthecorner patternasa square, i.e., fasten a diamond on each side to consecutive corners instead of opposite ones. This leaves two corners on the outside of corner square. For a bedspread work a 2nd row of diamonds and join it to the inside corners of Ist row to make a wide border. Use the border as an in- sertion for the centre. For the toilet runner shown on page 100, two of the squares are placed diamond-wise at each end and two down the centre. When the crochet is finished tack it to the linen, hem on the right side, cut away the linen at the back of the work and hem on the wrong side. Use Ardern’s Crochet Cotton, No. 24.

Crochet Patchwork. Patchwork crochet (i.c., material joined with crochet instead of sewing) will be found a very useful way of using up odd pieces of linen or other material. The patchwork can be used for cushion covers, mats, bed- spreads, in fact anything for which patchwork is used. The crochet in the piece illustrated was worked with “ Peri-Lusta’’ crochet, No. 40; material, Hardanger canvas. The corner square of canvas is embroidered in squares of satin stitch with white “Star Sylko,” No. 5. Edging the Squares.

A very delightful result is obtained by joining five of the squares in the manner shown on page 104, and using the cross-shaped piece as an inlet on a cushion cover or bedspread,
