NETTED ANTI-MACASSAR
NETTED ANTI-MACASSAR
MATERIALS..—Brooks' Great Exhibition Prize Goat's-head Knitting Cord, No. 40, and Embroidery Cotton, No 70; mesh, one-third of an inch wide.
This anti-macassar is done in the fashionable style of netting, with a pattern darned on it after it is worked. Make a foundation, on which work 67 stitches. Repeat these, backwards and forwards, until a square is done, of as many holes up the sides as along the width. Remove the foundation, and add either a crochet-bead border all round, or a netted one. The bead border makes the shape more solid; the netted one is certainly lighter, and the following is very pretty:—
With a mesh three times the size of that used for the square, do one entire round, with three stitches in one at the corners.
2nd round: With the small mesh. Miss the first stitch, net the second, then the missed one, repeat all round.
3rd: X Net a stitch in each of seven stitches, miss one stitch of last round, X repeat all round.
Observe, before doing this round, count the number of stitches; if they cannot be divided by eight, add at the corners as many as may be required. Supposing there are so many eights and five over, then three more will be wanted, and one must be added (by doing two in one) in each of the three corners.
4th: X 6 over seven, miss the long stitch, X repeat.
5th: X 5 over six, missing as before, X repeat.
6th: X 4 over five, as before, X repeat.
7th: X 3 over four, as before, X repeat.
8th: X 2 over three, as before, X repeat.
Before darning netting, wash it perfectly clean, stiffen it by dipping it into a little gum-water, and pin it out on a pillow, in the proper form, to dry. Then darn it with embroidery cotton, every square of the pattern being closely filled up.

As the following specimen is done only in the ordinary netting stitch, we do not think any particular explanation of the art of netting can be needed by our readers, it being so universally known. Indeed, it would be extremely difficult to teach the stitch by writing. Whenever any stitch, except that used in common netting, may occur in any of the following designs, we will endeavour to explain it as clearly as possible.
MATERIALS..—Very fine crimson netting silk, and gold thread. Two steel meshes are required, one about No. 15, and one No. 11. Eagle card-board gauge.
Make a piece of foundation of 9 stitches, and join your silk in the first.
1st round (small mesh). 1 stitch in every stitch of the foundation.
2nd: The same.
3rd: 2 stitches in every one of the previous round.
4th: A stitch in every one of the last round.
5th: X 2 stitches in the first, and one in the second, X 8 times.
6th: A stitch in every stitch.
7th: Increase eight stitches in the round, by doing two in one eight times, taking care that the stitch increased is the one which precedes the increased stitch of the last augmented round.
8th: Like 6th.
9th: Like 7th.
10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 22nd: Like 6th.
The intermediate rounds like the 7th. There ought now to be 88 stitches in the round. Do 44 more rounds, without any increase. Then take the large mesh, and do another round. Take the small mesh, X miss one stitch, take a stitch in the second, then one in the stitch that was missed. X Repeat this all round.
SHORT PURSE, IN NETTING.
Do four rounds of plain netting with the small mesh, then begin to make the points. 1st point: 7 stitches; draw out the mesh, X turn the work, and make a stitch on every one but the last; X repeat till you come to a point.
2nd and following points, like the first, so that there are 11 in the round.
The pattern is then to be darned with the gold thread, according to the design we have given.

BRIDAL PURSE, IN CROCHET.
BRIDAL PURSE, IN CROCHET.
MATERIALS..—Six skeins of white crochet silk, two skeins ofombré; scarlet ditto, in long shades, three skeins of slate-colour, and one of bright scarlet. Two ounces of transparent white beads, rather larger than seed beads, four strings of gold, the same size, and a hank of steel to match. For the garnitures (which must be entirely of bright steel), two rings, a handsome tassel for one end, and a deep fringe for the other. Boulton's tapered indented Crochet Hook, No. 23.
Begin by threading all the white beads on the white silk; half the gold on theombré; cerise, and the steel on the slate-coloured. What scarlet silk is used in the square end is without beads; the few rows at the other end, of that colour, are threaded with gold, which may be put on afterwards.
The design of the square end consists of a spray of roses and leaves, the former in scarletombré; with gold beads intermixed, the latter with slate-silk and steel. The ground is composed wholly of white beads, one being dropped on every stitch; where, therefore, the scarlet and slate silks are worked without beads, they appear to bein intaglio. A scroll of steel beads below the group is intermixed with the white, and the top and bottom of the square end are finished off with vandykes of plain scarlet without beads. At the bottom is an open pattern in scarlet, to which is attached the fringe.
Begin with the plain scarlet silk, with which make a chain of 100 stitches, and close it into a round. Work one round in scarlet, using in the end of white silk.
2nd round: In which you begin to drop on the white beads. X 2 white, 3 scarlet, X 20 times.
3rd: X 3 white, 1 scarlet, 1 white, X 20 times.

To diminish at the end, do 2 rounds of white, like the previous; then 1 with only 4 chain; then 1 with 3 chain; and finally, a round with 2 chain between the s.c.
Draw it up with a needle and white silk; sew on the tassel, and slip on the rings.
At the other end, do a row to close the round, with the plain scarlet in s.c.; on which work X 6 ch., miss 4, s.c. under 5th, X 10 times. Turn, and in each loop work 2 s.c., 4 d.c., 2 s.c.
Fasten off, and sew on the deep fringe garniture.

MATERIALS..—Purse silk, of any two colours that contrast well, gold beads, and glass ones of one of the colours. Of the silk that matches the beads, two skeins will be required, and of the other, four. For the garniture, a clasp and handsome fringe.
Begin by threading a hank of gold beads on two of the four skeins, leaving two without any.
With regard to the colours to be selected for this purse, we may be allowed to suggest a few good contrasts, leaving the choice to the taste of the worker. A brilliant scarlet looks well with white; brown with blue; lilac with green, orvice versa; and pink with some of the warmer tints of stone or fawn colour. In all these, the first-named colour is to be the predominant one, except in the case of green and lilac, in which either colour may be the principal one. The immense variety of tints in German beads (nearly three hundred), gives such a power of choice, that the most artistic taste may be gratified.
For the sake of accuracy in the description, we will select scarlet and white for this purse. The white beads are to be threaded on the white silk, and dropped on every stitch where white is named.
With a fine crochet-hook make a chain of 120 stitches with the scarlet silk, close it into a round, and do one round of single crochet.
2nd row: X 1 gold bead, 18 silk, 1 gold, 18 silk, 2 gold, X 3 times.

MATERIALS..—1 reel ofombré; crimson silk, in short shades; 1 of grey ditto; 3 skeins of rich brown purse twist, 1 skein of white ditto, 2 hanks of steel beads, No. 5; 12 rows of transparent white seed beads, 2 handsome steel slides, and a few steel bugles. The silk must all be of the finest size, and the work is to be done very tightly.
Begin the purse by threading the steel beads on the brown silk, and the white on theombré; crimson.
This crimson is used for the rose, and for the three small flowers; the coloured silk seen through the transparent bead has an extremely pretty effect; the leaves are entirely in steel beads, as is also the scroll which ornaments the lower part of the purse. The large flower close to the rose is done in the grey silk.
