EXPLANATION OF STITCHES
CHAIN (ch)
Make a slip knot on the needle, put the cotton over the hook, and draw it through the loop.
DOUBLE CROCHET (dc)
With loop on the needle, put the hook through a chain - or other- stitch- thread over the hook, draw it through the ch, thread over the hook again, draw it through both loops on needle.
TREBLE (tr)
With a loop on the needle, put thread over the hook, put the hook into a stitch, and draw the thread through that stitch
- this gives three loops on the needle - put the thread over the hook again, draw throug two loops, thread over once more, draw through the remaing two loops.
HALF TREBLE (h-tr)
Work as for a treble, but instead of working off ther stitches two by two, work off all three together.
DOUBLE TREBLE (d-tr)
Put the thread over the needle twice, then put the hook into a stitch, thread over hook, draw the thread through the stitch ( there will then be four loops on the needle), thread over hook, draw through two loops, thread over, draw though two, thread over, draw through two, thread over, draw though last two.
LONG TREBLE (l-tr)
Put the thread three times over the needle then draw a loop through as for double treble, and work off the five loops two at a time. Slip- stitches (sl.st) are worked on six of the l-tr. Put needle through the stitch, thread over hook, draw through both the loops on the needle at once. Slip-stitches and single crochet are the same stitich and are often used for joining.
PICOT (p)
Make five ch, or any given number, then sl.st into the fifth from the hook. For a 4 ch p, sl.st into the fourth. Picots are sometimes made with a dc instead of sl.st. In the example there are two chains between the picots.
TRIPLE PICOTS (t-p)
6 ch, make a p of the last 5, 5 ch, another p, 5 ch, a third p, sl.st into the chain that precedes the first p. This draws the three up closely. In the example the last three are not yet drawn up.
