Where the words "Crochet Cotton" are used in the text of this book, the cotton referred to is the hard-
twisted cotton known by such trade names as Cordon- net, Cordonnet Special, Cordichet, Kord-net, etc., which
he purchased wherever needlework supplies are sold.
In working by the following, or any directions in fact, allowance must be made for the different tension
of workers, and in the matter of chain stitch especially.
I hose who crochet rather loosely may find it advisable to make one less chain stitch in various places; while
those who crochet tightly may find it an advantage to add one or more chain stitches in places.
This adaptation is more necessary in circular work than that of straight rows
Since crochet-hooks vary, even in the most care- fully graded kinds, it follows that only suggestion and
not absolute directions can be given for the selections of crochet hooks or needles. One worker may require
a much liner needle to produce the same result that there secures with a coarser needle. The size of
the needle has been recommended in some cases by the original worker: sometimes by one who has tested
a sample of the work: and in some cases a size has been suggested from a general knowledge of the work.
It has not always been possible to give material actually used ; some are given exactly, some are estimated,
while some are left to the choice of the worker. |
