For Treble, wool over hook,
draw a loop through next stitch,
draw a loop through first two
loops on hook, then draw another I

loop through 2 remainingloops.

Crochet: it is so easy to do, and
once you have got going after a
Iittle practise, you trill v)ant to
make all sortsof thingsfor yourself
andfamily, and the home.
The wool runs from ball round
little finger and over first 2 fingers,
and the work is held in your left
handbetweenlst finger and thumb:
diag. L
**l
To start: make a slip loop, several
inchesfrom end of yarn, and slip
on hook (this loop counts as your
first chain).
Continue making the length of
chain stitches you require, i.e.
catch wool with the hopk and pull
it through loop already on hook:
diag.2.
This is the basicstepof Crochet
and you can master it in a few
minutes.It is bestto practisewith
a fairly thick hook and yarn
(about hook No. 8 and Double
Knitting.)
***
For your next row, work a
Single Crochet (or Slip Stitch)
through each loop of length of
chain, i.e. pull thread through
next loop of chain then through
loop on hook: diag.3. (this leaves
one loop on hook).
This is Single Crochet and
articlescan be made in this stitch.

Note: in crochet,the work always
hangsby one loop on the hook.
After the first row worked into
the foundation length of chain,
you will be working into the stit-
chesof previousrow.

stage is Double Crochet: this is

Shapingsin Crochet - instruc-
tions for Increasingand Decreas-
ing are alwaysgivenin the pattern. I
As a generalrule, to Increase- --1
work 2 stitchesinto one stitch, or

patterns. -]
To Decrease- you miss a stitch
(or pattern) as stated in the
instructions, e.g. miss out a I
complete pattern and work into
the next stitch (the gap is usually -i
crossedwith l, or more slip sts.).
Practiseall theseBasic Stitches -l
until you have graspedthe very 71
simple principles of Crochet. At
first, beginners have difficulty
with beginningand ending rows,
but the pattern you are following I

will give instructionsfor these.
The rule is broadly that you
miss the lst stitch (las1 stitch of
previousrow), and work over this
asinstructed.At the row ends,you
-
tum with 1 or 2 chainasinstructed,
and this tuming ch. usuallycounts
as the lst stitch of next row.
