for a picot; repeat until you have made 5 picots, a treble in same
shell, chain 2, fasten in top of single treble; repeat until you have
made 5 scallops for the top of purse, and fasten off. By continuing the
scallops entirely around, you have a very pretty little doily.
Make
the other side in the same way, and after having made the 5 scallops
place the two sides together and work the remaining 7 scallops in both,
that is, in a shell of each, thus joining them.
FOR THE CHAINS
Start
from center of 1st scallop at side of opening, chain 45, pass through
corresponding space on opposite side, join to a brass ring, one inch in
diameter, which has been closely filled with double crochet, a double
in next double of the ring, chain 40, pass back through 2d scallop, and
fasten to scallop next that from which you started; slip to next
scallop on same side, chain 35, pass through 3d scallop on opposite
side, join to ring, as before, chain 40, pass through 4th scallop and
fasten to corresponding scallop opposite, skip to next scallop on same
side, chain 45, pass through 5th scallop and join to ring. If
preferred, the ring may not be filled until the chains are joined; then
work around, join and fasten off, leaving a length of thread which may
be put into a needle and run partially around the ring.
The
purse may be lined or not, as preferred, as the work is close enough to
prevent coins slipping through. A little pocket of chamois may be
slipped in, if desired. The purse is especially pretty if made of
black, gray, caroundinal or other color of purse-silk.
TREBLE CROCHET
Put
thread over needle as if to make a chain stitch, insert hook in work
and draw thread through, making 3 stitches on needle; (take up thread
and draw through 2) twice. Many prefer to make what is called a "long
treble", drawing first through 1 stitch, then through 2 stitches twice,
as directed. |
