D’Oyley in Square Crochet. — [Fig. 6.]
Materials.—Cotton, No. 16; crochet hook, No. 18. Eagle card-board gauge.
The size I have given for materials will make this d’oyley about 20 inches, as there are 88 squares, and 9 squares are equal to 2 inches. Of course, with finer cottons and hooks, the size will be diminished. Patterns given in square crochet are very pretty worked in two colours of wool. The open squares should be worked in one colour, and the close in the other; every square consisting of three dc. stitches. Mats of this description should be tacked on a stand previously formed of stout card or mill-board, covered with green calico or silk.
