Materials Required:
13 skeins Bear Brand Germantown, 4-fold.
4 skeins Bear Brand Rococo Wool.
1 amber or bone crochet hook, No. 5.
1 Lattice Pin, No. 1 (16 inches long).
(NOTE—_These directions are based on 16 skeins to the box Germantown. If
the “10 skeins to the box” wool is used, the number of skeins required
will be proportionately less._)
Using the Germantown and crochet hook, chain 62 and turn. Make 1 double
crochet stitch (1 d. c.) in the fourth chain from the needle and 1 d. c.
in each of the other chains. 60 d. c. in all, counting the three chains
skipped as 1 d. c. Turn. The work should measure 14 inches in length and
be ¾ of an inch high.
Second row: ch. 2, wool over and take up a loop through the front thread
of the second stitch of previous row, wool over and through all three
loops on needle, thus forming one short, double crochet stitch. Continue
making 1 s. d. c. in each stitch to the end, always counting the chain
made when beginning row as one stitch. Turn. 60 stitches.
Third row: chain 3, 1 d. c. in second and each succeeding stitch of
previous row, taken through the double thread. 60 stitches.
Repeat second and third rows until there are five rows, in all, or the
work measures 3 inches in depth; ending with a double crochet row.
The border is next to be made. Turn and * draw a loop through the back
thread of first stitch and through the loop on needle, thus forming 1
slip stitch (1 s. s.). Repeat from * in each stitch of row. Turn. Make 1
single crochet stitch in each stitch of double crochet row taking up the
back thread. Through the last stitch draw the Rococo wool and fasten off
Germantown.
Lattice Work: draw up the loop of Rococo and slip it on the Lattice pin.
This pin is held under the right arm firmly. Hold the wrong side of work
toward you and with crochet hook pull a loop of wool through the double
threads of second stitch and slip it on the pin. Continue drawing one
loop through each stitch to the end—60 loops on pin. Join on the
Germantown and fasten off Rococo. Slip loops off the pin. * Draw the
fourth, fifth and sixth loops, in turn, through the first three loops
and make 1 s. c. in each loop as it is drawn through; then 1 s. c. in
each of the first three loops, thus forming the lattice. Repeat from *
all along row. Turn.
Repeat the four border rows over and over until there are five rows of
lattice work. Then repeat the first, second and again the first row.
When making the second rows the stitches are to be taken up on the back
threads of the fourth rows.
The center is made as the second and third rows of scarf were made: the
first row of d. c. being taken on back thread of border and all
subsequent d. c. rows taken through the double thread. Make center 50
inches long, then repeat border. Make 5 rows to match beginning and then
begin border down the side of scarf. Make a row of s. c. putting 3 s. c.
in the end of each d. c. row and 2 s. c. in each s. d. c. row, or enough
to make work flat. Across the end of each lattice row chain 3. Be sure
this row contains a multiple of six stitches. Turn and slip stitch on
the back thread of s. c. stitches and across the 3 chained stitches.
Continue as border was made on ends until two rows of lattice work have
been made, then repeat first, second and again the first border rows and
fasten off. Finish second side in same manner. Across the ends put a
knotted-in fringe in every fourth stitch. Put six strands of Germantown
in each tassel and cut strands 12 inches long.
