A Short Purse With Beads
Commence with a chain of one hundred stitches, in dark green netting silk, and work one plain row; then, crochet five rows with steel beads, to form the first stripe of the pattern.
Work one plain row of white. Then, on the white ground, crochet the second stripe of the pattern, with gold beads. Work one plain row of white.
The third stripe is green,—the lower division of the pattern is in steel beads, the upper, in gold beads.
The fourth stripe is white, the pattern in steel beads, with one plain row of white at top and bottom.
Commence again with the green, and having worked the five rows of the pattern with gold beads, finish with twenty plain rows of green.
