Twine Crochet Work with illustrations; Second Edition, enlarged.

The first edition of No. 2 of our Crochet Series was necessarily hurried, and issued out of its regular order, in compliance with a very general demand for lambrequin designs. While its success has been gratifying, there were some defects in the work, which has decided us to re-issue it under its present form. It has been carefully re-written, so as to follow the very full instructions found in No. 1. The number of designs have been doubled by the addition of some very attractive patterns for lambrequins.

The use of twine in fancy work has introduced a material that can be employed extensively in household decoration, and has brought the crochet needle into greater requisition than ever before. Many of those articles that contribute so much to the attractiveness of a home can be made of twine at comparatively little cost. It can be made in colors and of different sizes, and on account of its durability, cheapness and beauty, is considered by many superior to macramé work. By a judicious selection of shades, and a tasteful combination of trimmings, a large assortment of which are sold for that purpose, consisting of silk and plush balls of various shapes and colors, ribbon, etc., a great variety of articles may be fashioned which are at once both beautiful and effective, such as, for instance, window, mantel, fable and bracket lambrequins, scarfs for chairs and tables, covers for sofa pillows and ottomans, toilet and dinner mats, hand-bags, etc., etc., etc.

Chain Stitch.—Make a loop of twine, and draw the twine through each loop thus made, until the chain is of the required length.

Close Chain Stitch.—Insert the hook in loop of preceding row, and draw twine through both this loop and the loop on the needle at the same time.

Single Crochet.—Pass the hook through a loop of the last row, bring twine through, throw the twine around the needle and draw it through the two loops on the needle.

Double Crochet.—Turn the twine around the needle once, pass the hook through a loop of preceding row, bring twine through, throw the twine around the needle and draw it through two loops, turn the twine again around the needle and draw it through the two next loops.

Treble.—Turn the twine twice around the needle, work as double crochet, bringing twine through two loops three times.

Double Double Crochet.—Turn twine three times around the needle, work as double crochet, bringing twine through two loops four times.

Slip Stitch.—This stitch is used in joining. Take the hook from the last loop worked, pass it through the loop where the work has to be joined; then take the first loop spoken of and draw it through.

* The above are the primitive or foundation stitches, of which all fancy stitches are modifications or combinations.

TWINE.

The best twine for crocheting is what is known as seine or macramé cotton twine, and is sold by numbers; 6 and 9, the finer numbers, are used for tidies, etc.; 12, 16 and 20 for lambrequins. Care should be taken in purchasing the twine, to get the best quality, as there are several grades made; that having a cream color, bordering on écru, makes the best work.

NEEDLES.

A five-inch bone needle, even and smooth, is considered the best for crocheting with twine.

The tools for making a hammock are—first, a “seine needle,” which may be obtained at any fishing-tackle store, and, second, what is called a mesh board. The needle is made of hard wood and of the shape represented in illustration. The mesh board is simply a piece of common wood about 6 inches long by 2 or 2½ inches wide, according to the size of the mesh desired, and bevelled on one side, being one-half the stretched measure of the mesh. Having provided yourself with the tools as above, proceed as follows:

Take a piece of twine a foot or so long and tie the ends together, making a loop on which to knit the first row of meshes, and hang it on a hook or nail; then fill your needle by tying the end of the twine to the pin in the middle of the needle, and carrying it around the notch and back to the pin until the needle is full, being careful to turn the needle over every time, so that both sides will be alike.

Tie the loose end of twine on the needle to the loop mentioned above, and place the mesh board underneath close to the loop; then carry the needle down under the board and up through the loop, drawing the twine tight; place the thumb (the mesh board being held in the left hand) so as to hold the[32] twine in position on the edge of the mesh board, and throw the bight (or slack) of the twine loosely towards the left, and carry the needle under the right side of the loop and up on the left side through the bight, and pull it down snugly.

The same operation should be repeated, with the exception of putting the needle between the loop and the bight, as it must be carried through the loop and the bight at the same time. In order to make the knot more secure, it would be well to throw the bight again to the left, and bring the needle up through the loop a second time, thus making the knot double. This suggestion applies to the first row of meshes only.

Continue this until you have a sufficient number of meshes for the width of the hammock, 30 being the usual number; then slip the meshes off the mesh board and allow them to hang from the twine on the needle; then place the mesh board underneath, in the same manner as at first, and repeat the original operation, putting the needle through the first mesh instead of the loop, as in the first instance, and making the knot as before. (See illustration.) Follow the meshes along in the same way, until the hammock is the desired length. It is usual to make it about six feet long when stretched for a full-sized hammock, and then to put on each end strings about two feet long, reaching from each end mesh to an iron ring about an inch and a half in diameter, to which the ropes for swinging it are to be attached. These strings can be put on in the same manner as the meshes are knit by simply substituting a piece of board about 2 feet long and 3 or 4 inches wide for the mesh board and using it lengthwise.

TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources.

Except for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained.
The “Double Double Crochet” stitch abbreviated as “d. d. c.” and referenced on Page 5’s “DESCRIPTION OF TERMS USED IN CROCHET” is not used in any pattern. The Half Double Crochet is referenced as “h.d.c.” on page 9 but not described here. A Half Double Crochet would be described using language from this book as “Turn the twine around the needle once, pass the hook through a loop of preceding row, bring twine through, throw the twine around the needle and draw it through three loops.”

Stitch abbreviations split across lines have been joined to improve legibility.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation.

If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
