TOILET COVER IN SQUARE CROCHET.

MATERIALS.--Brooks' Great Exhibition Prize Goat's-head Crochet Cotton, No. 36, with a fine hook.

The pattern for this toilet cover being so elaborate, it must be worked in cotton not coarser than that we have indicated, if intended for an ordinary toilet cover. Worked in a coarser material, No. 8 or 12, of Brooks' Great Exhibition Prize Goat's-head Crochet Cotton, it would make a beautiful quilt for a small bed; and in some of the coarser sizes of the knitting cord, a large counterpane might be worked, and from the clear appearance this material presents, would look very rich and handsome.

Like all square crochet, this design must be worked from the engraving. The number of foundation chain for working it is 529, reckoning the length, or 346 for the width, if that mode of working be preferred as less cumbersome. It will not, however, answer so well for a toilet cover, as the stitches would go the wrong way. For a counterpane, on the contrary, it would be preferable.

For the border of a toilet cover, we should recommend one of the patterns in bead work, found in other parts of this volume. For the edge of a counterpane, nothing can be handsomer than the border and fringe of the bassinet quilt.

It should be worked with the same cotton as the centre, and the fringe a degree coarser.

Crochet counterpanes should be laid over one of the American patent quilted coverlets, which have recently been sold in London, and for invalids, especially, are so extremely comfortable.

ARABESQUE TOILET-COVER IN SQUARE CROCHET.

This pattern should be worked in Brooks' Great Exhibition Prize Goat's-head Crochet Cotton, exactly to the size of the top of the table, in rather thick cotton, to make it look massive, and to retain its form; the edging must be worked in blue beads in crochet to the pattern, and a number of beads given exactly to go round the table and to hang down, and finished with a tassel at each corner.
