ANTI-MACASSAR.

MATERIALS.--Brooks' Great Exhibition Prize Goat's-head Crochet Cotton, No. 24.

This anti-macassar must be begun on the line of d.c., forming one end. Make a chain of the required number of stitches, including the borders, and work the whole anti-macassar, except the border which is at the one end, below the foundation chain, which must be done last of all. Or the centre can be done entirely first, and the border worked all round afterwards, increasing at the corners. We, however, recommend the former method.

This pattern is extremely well adapted for darning on square netting. In that case the netting may be done in Brooks' Knitting Cord, No. 60, and the darning in Embroidery Cotton, No. 70. The centre only can be done thus--a netted border must trim it.

NETTED ANTI-MACASSAR.

MATERIALS.--Brooks' Great Exhibition Prize Goat's-head Knitting Cord, No. 40, and Embroidering Goat's-head 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 sixty-seven 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 of each of seven stitches, miss one stitch of the 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.

FLORAL ANTI-MACASSAR.

IN SQUARE NETTING AND DARNED.

MATERIALS.--Brooks' Goat's-head Netting and Knitting Cotton, No. 36. Brooks' Embroidering Goat's-head Cotton, No. 40. Rather a fine Embroidering Needle. Steel Mesh, No. 12 Steel Netting Needle.

Work the same number of squares, as in the engraving, by commencing on one stitch, and increasing one at the end of every row till you get sufficient length of one side; and then decrease one at the end of every row by taking two loops into one. Then darn according to the engraving.

Make sufficient number of tassels to go round. Wind the cotton over a card three inches wide, cut one end, and draw through the loop of netting, and make four more tassels larger; over a card six inches wide for the corners. Six squares measure one inch.

OTTOMAN COVER.

IN SQUARE NETTING; THE PATTERN DIAMOND.

MATERIALS:--Brooks' Goat's-head Netting Cotton, Nos. 30 and 36; Embroidering, No. 40; Steel Mesh, No. 12, and Steel Netting Needle. For the upper side of the cushion use No. 36 Cotton, and commence with one stitch, and make one at the end of every row until you have 83 loops on your mesh; then decrease one at the end of every row until you have only one left; then fasten off; then darn it with Embroidering Cotton, No. 40, according to the engraving, always taking care that there are the same number of threads in every square, and that the threads all run the same way, making as few breaks in the cotton as possible; in fastening off, or beginning again, always let it be on the under-side, that the ends may not be seen. Then for the under-side of the cushion, make another piece exactly similar to the other one in size, but with a thicker cotton, No. 30. The two pieces must then be joined together, and placed upon a cushion stuffed with wool and covered with a dark purple, crimson, or green velvet; the whole afterwards finished with a thick twisted cord in two colours, with massive tassels at the corners to match.
