TOILET COVER IN SQUARE CROCHET.
MATERIALS.--Brooks' Great Exhibition Prize Goat's-head Crochet Cotton,
No. 36, with a fine hook.
The pattern for this toilet cover being so elaborate, it must be
worked in cotton not coarser than that we have indicated, if intended
for an ordinary toilet cover. Worked in a coarser material, No. 8 or
12, of Brooks' Great Exhibition Prize Goat's-head Crochet Cotton, it
would make a beautiful quilt for a small bed; and in some of the
coarser sizes of the knitting cord, a large counterpane might be
worked, and from the clear appearance this material presents, would
look very rich and handsome.
Like all square crochet, this design must be worked from the
engraving. The number of foundation chain for working it is 529,
reckoning the length, or 346 for the width, if that mode of working be
preferred as less cumbersome. It will not, however, answer so
well for a toilet cover, as the stitches would go the wrong way. For a
counterpane, on the contrary, it would be preferable.
[Illustration: TOILET COVER.]
For the border of a toilet cover, we should recommend one of the
patterns in bead work, found in other parts of this volume. For the
edge of a counterpane, nothing can be handsomer than the border and
fringe of the bassinet quilt.
It should be worked with the same cotton as the centre, and the fringe
a degree coarser.
Crochet counterpanes should be laid over one of the American patent
quilted coverlets, which have recently been sold in London, and for
invalids, especially, are so extremely comfortable.
* * * * *
TIDY IN SQUARE CROCHET.
MATERIALS.--Brooks' Great Exhibition Prize Goat's-head Crochet Cotton,
No. 14: Walker's Penelope Crochet-hook, No. 21/2.
[Illustration: TIDY IN SQUARE CROCHET. ]
Make a chain of 289 stitches, which will form ninety-nine squares;
with this cotton and hook it will measure twenty-five inches; the
pattern must be worked from the engraving, and may be increased in
size by using a coarser cotton and thicker hook.
* * * * *
ARABESQUE TOILET-COVER IN SQUARE CROCHET.
[Illustration: ARABESQUE TOILET-COVER IN SQUARE CROCHET.]
This pattern should be worked in Brooks' Great Exhibition Prize
Goat's-head Crochet Cotton, exactly to the size of the top of the
table, in rather thick cotton, to make it look massive, and to retain
its form; the edging must be worked in blue beads in crochet to the
pattern, and a number of beads given exactly to go round the table and
to hang down, and finished with a tassel at each corner.
* * * * *

This completes the centre of the mat. Now cover six of the rings with
the darkest cerise, 12 with the lightest, 12 with the second lightest,
and 24 with white. They are to be done in s.c. The darkest are sewed
in the centre of each side of hexagon, with a white at each side, and
two more (joined together) above it. The lightest cerise are placed at
the points the two being joined together, and one to the mat. These
form the extreme points, and the other twelve are placed to connect
the lightest rings with the white. The short square bugles are
threaded, with some of the beads, to form a cross in the centre of
each of the white rings; the other rings have a cross of beads only.
All the rings are sewed together, and to the mat.
