This new creation, we incline to think, will be much prized, as it is in itself all that can bedesired in the pardessus style. Simple, convenient, graceful, and comparatively inexpensive, itcan be obtained in any of the fashionable colors, and although ornamented in a variety of modes,the passementerie in the illustration is perhaps as effective as any other. 430 CROCHET SCARF FOR A GENTLEMAN.
Text Appearing After Image:
This scarf is worked in two colors, with a crochet needle, No. 5 ; it is worked lengthwise. Make a chain of 256 stitches, and make two rows of wave stitch in chinee worsted ; then threerows in Afghan stitch with blue worsted ; continue to do so until the scarf has seven chinee stripesand six blue stripes ; then bind off; finish the ends with a deep fringe, and the sides with a scal-loped edge. Wave stitch is done by making one row of plain Afghan stitch, but in picking up the secondrow you push the chain over on the right side and pick the long loops up on the back ; the thirdrow you do in plain Afghan stitch, and the fourth as the second row, and so continue to work. 431 ,O0o( EMBROIDERY.
