Fancy
Needlework.
Although
there
is
a
continual
change
in
designs
and
materials
for
fancy
needlework
of
every
description,
the
fundamental
principles
on
which
this
kind
of
work
in
all
its
various
branches
is
executed
remain
the
same.
These
are
carefully,
though
briefly
set
forth
in
the
following
series
of
instructions
on
this
subject.
1809.
Instructions
in
Crochet.
1810.
Popularity
of
Crochet.
Perhaps
no
kind
of
work
has
ever
attained
such
popularity
as
Crochet.
Whether
as
a
simple
trimming,
as
an
elaborate
quilt,
or
as
a
fabric,
almost
rivalling
Point
Lace,
it
is
popular
with
every
woman
who
has
any
time
at
all
for
fancy
work,
since
it
is
only
needful
to
understand
the
stitches,
and
the
terms
and
contractions
used
in
writing
the
descriptions
of
the
different
designs,
to
be
enabled
to
work
with
ease
the
most
beautiful
pattern
that
ever
appeared
in
crochet.
1811.
Stitches
used
in
Crochet.
These,
with
their
abbreviations,
are:
Ch.,
chain
stitch;
S.,
single
crochet;
Dc.,
double
crochet;
L.,
long
stitch;
Double
and
treble
long.
1812.
Chain
Stitch,
ch.
Hook
the
cotton
into
a
loop,
and
keep
on
looping
the
cotton
through
a
previous
stitch
till
a
succession
of
chains
are
made
to
form
a
foundation.
1813.
Single
Crochet,
S.
This
occurs
only
in
working
designs;
the
hook
is
inserted
in
a
stitch,
and
the
cotton
is
pulled
through
that
and
the
cotton
which
is
on
the
hook
at
the
same
time;
it
thus
makes
a
close
tie.
1814.
Double
Crochet,
or
Dc.
With
cotton
on
the
hook
insert
the
latter
into
a
stitch,
draw
the
cotton
through;
there
are
now
two
loops
on
the
hook,
take
up
the
cotton
on
the
hook,
and
with
cotton
again
upon
the
hook
draw
it
through
the
two
loops.
