NETTED SCARF.
Materials.—6 oz. light blue filoselle, 1 oz. each of white and of claret ditto. When winding the skeins, split them in half and the threads will then be quite sufficiently thick. Begin with the border. Take a round mesh, No. 4, [the size of a common pen-holder,] make 1 stitch.
2nd.—Net 2 in 1.
3rd and succeeding rows.—Add one stitch at the end of every row until you have thirty one stitches in the row, when you will net two as one. The next row, you will increase one at the end; the following one you will diminish until you have done fifty rows in this manner, then decrease at the end of every row until one stitch only remains.
This being done in white filoselle, may be darned in a handsome pattern with the claret. A second piece must be done in the same way. Then two bands, each half the width of this, must be made in light blue, to one side of which a handsome fringe must be sewed, and to the other the white netting. The body of the scarf must also be done in the blue filoselle.
Any handsome scroll or pattern for square crochet, which is not more than thirty squares wide, may be used for darning the border of the scarf.
