Cro-knitting : The new art of worsted work : also crocheted lattice work
"Cro-knitting : The new art of worsted work : also crocheted lattice work" is an instructional craft manual written in the early 20th century. It introduces a hybrid method that combines knitting and crochet, alongside a distinctive crocheted lattice technique, and provides detailed, row-by-row directions. Projects range from garments and accessories to home linens, with an emphasis on specific threads, tools, and finishing methods. The opening of Cro-knitting : The new art
of worsted work : also crocheted lattice work begins with recommended materials (mercerized cottons, macramé cord, silk-like threads, and metal yarns), followed by a foreword presenting Cro-Knitting as alternating knitted and crocheted rows using a crochet hook and matching needles. It carefully explains tools (including a knobbed crochet hook and lattice pins), handling of knitted versus crocheted rows, and core stitches (single, double, treble) plus signature patterns like Automobile and Cluster stitches and the lattice method. From there it launches directly into step-by-step patterns—jackets, scarves, bags, afghans, socks, and baby sets—each with precise cast-ons, increases/decreases, stitch sequences, borders, and trims (fringe, picots, frogs, embroidery), consistently advising use of the specified Bear Brand materials to achieve the illustrated results.
