                             HELPFUL HINTS


                      ABBREVIATIONS AND TERMS USED

  st(s)—stitch(es)
  yo—yarn over
  rnd(s)—round(s)
  k—knit
  p—purl
  rpt—repeat
  tog.—together
  dec.—decrease
  pat.—pattern

An asterisk (*) or dagger (†) indicates that the directions immediately
following are to be repeated the given number of times, in addition to
the original. Thus “rpt from * (†) 3 times” means to make pattern 4
times in all.

[ ] All sts within brackets are to be worked in same st or place.
Example: [1 sc, 1 dc, 1 sc] in next st. means to work 1 sc, then 1 dc,
then 1 sc all in same next st.

ch (chain st)—Make a loop on hook (to begin work), * yo, draw thru loop;
rpt from *; each rpt is 1 ch st.

sl st (slip st)—Insert hook in st, yo, draw thru st and loop on hook.

sc (single crochet)—Draw up a loop in st (now having 2 loops on hook),
yo, draw thru 2 loops on hook.

dc (double crochet)—Yo, draw up a loop in st, yo, draw thru 2 loops on
hook, yo, draw thru last 2 loops on hook.

tr (treble crochet)—Yo twice, draw up a loop in st, [yo, draw thru 2
loops on hook] 3 times.


                             AFGHAN STITCH—

    [Illustration: {uncaptioned}]

Make a chain the desired length. Row 1—_Work in Afghan Stitch as
follows:_ draw up a loop in 2nd chain from hook and each remaining chain
(there will be the same number of loops on hook as the number of chains
made), _complete row as follows:_ yo, draw thru 1 loop on hook, working
back, * yo, draw thru 2 loops on hook; rpt from * across. Row 2—Draw up
a loop in 2nd bar from edge, draw up a loop in each remaining bar (there
will be the same number of loops on hook as for first row), complete row
as before. Rpt row 2 for pattern for the required number of rows.


                 TO BLOCK CROCHETED OR KNITTED AFGHANS

Spread a pad (on a table or on the floor) on which the afghan can be
stretched and pinned. Having wrong side up, pin afghan on pad (using
rustproof pins) about every inch, stretching it to the given
measurements. Lay a damp cloth over it, pass a hot iron lightly over the
cloth allowing the steam to go through the material but _do not let the
weight of the iron rest or press on it_. Leave afghan pinned down until
dry.
