_VISUAL CROCHET_
A new idea in crochet. All you have to do is follow the squares on the
chart. The basic stitch is the chain used for foundation to start your
work. Then the single crochet stitch shown in the diagrams. 1-2-3-4.
[Illustration: {sample crochet chart}]
Each little square = 1 stitch.
Change in colors are indicated.
Rows are numbered.
[Illustration: _Chain Stitch_]
Hold work loosely between middle finger and thumb right under the hook,
* twist hook on thread (this will be referred to as “thread over”) and
pull thread thru loop on hook, repeat from * until chain is desired
length.

_Single Crochet_
Chain for desired length, skip 1 ch., insert hook in 2nd st. from hook
(Ill. No. 1), thread over hook and pull through ch.; there are now 2
loops on hook, (Ill. No. 2). Thread over hook (Ill. No. 3) and pull
through both loops (Ill. No. 4).
_BALANCED RUG_
_Approx. 22″ × 35″_
Material:
10 skeins white rug yarn;
2 skeins red rug yarn;
2 skeins royal blue rug yarn;
2 skeins col. green rug yarn;
2 skeins lemon yellow rug yarn;
size J crochet hook.
Directions: chart color numbers—1. white; 2. red; 3. blue; 4. col.
green; 5. yellow; follow chart closely. Using double yarn throughout
(two strands worked as one) using 1st. color. Ch. 41—sc. in 2nd ch. from
hook and in each st. across. Ch. 1 turn.
Row 1: Sc. in 1st. sts. Let the 1st. color yarn hang and tie on 2nd
color—1 sc. in next st. with 2nd. color. Now hold the 2nd. color along
your work and using 1st. color work 1 sc. in next 3 sts. Working over
the 2nd color let these two colors hang and tie on 3rd color. 1 sc. in
9th st. using 3rd. color—now let this color hang (to be there when you
come back across) with 1st. color working over 2nd color, put 1 sc. in
next 4 sts. Let first color hang and put 1 sc. of 2nd color in next st.
Let this color hang (to be there when you come back across). With 1st.
color put 1 sc. in each st. on across row—ch. 1—turn. Watch your
chart—as we write the second row through for you.
Row 2: Still working with 1st. color—1 sc. in 1st. 26 sts. or as you see
in chart back to 2nd color. Let 1st. color hang. Put 1 sc. in next st.
using 2nd color (hanging from previous row.) Put 1 sc. with 1st. color
(working over the 2nd color) in next 4 sts. Drop these two colors. Pick
up 3rd. color (left hanging before.) Put 1 sc. in next st.—let this
color hang as before. With 1st. color working over 2nd color put 1 sc.
in next 3 sts. Drop 1st. color, using 2nd. color put 1 sc. in next st.
(now let this color hang)—with 1st. color put 1 sc. in each st. to end
of row—ch. 1—turn. Work in this manner watching the chart. When one
color isn’t used for a while (note chart) as in 4th. row color no. 2
isn’t used again til the 17th. row—tie that color off and put it back on
again in the 17th. row to keep from having to work over it all the way.
Border: Using a single strand of yarn—put sc. sts. evenly spaced all
around the rug—putting 3 sts. in the corner to turn. Put 1 row of scs.
around using each color—Using red first row; white second row; green
third row; yellow fourth row; blue fifth row; tie off yarn.
This is a very useful way to crochet and many new ideas will open
themselves to you using this method of carrying yarn and watching a
chart. _See visual chart on page 43._
