PREFACE.
FILET CROCHET is probably the most fascinating of all crochet work. It offers the widest possible opportunities in its adaptability for every kind of decoration. It adds the individual touch to table and bedroom linens, and is essentially in keeping with period furniture. A wide range of designs and models is presented, in most cases the original; but in all, the diagrams, clearly showing the design in black and white.
We have endeavored throughout the book to suggest to you some of the manifold uses to which these designs may be put, and one should always bear in mind that good cottons and close, even work are essential for the best results.
EXPLANATORY.
Filet crochet is worked in "open" and "closed" blocks (sometimes called mesh), represented in the diagrams in white and black squares respectively, and done entirely in chain and double crochet.
CHAIN or CH.: Make a loop, insert the hook, throw thread over hook, and draw a loop through the first one made. Each loop is a chain stitch.
|
DOUBLE CROCHET or D. C.: Wrap, draw up a loop, draw thread through 1, then draw thread through 2, then draw thread through last 2.
OPEN BLOCK: 1 d. c., ch. 2, skip 2 stitches, 1 d. c, in next stitch to close block, which forms a perfect square. In making rows of open blocks, the d. c. is always made in the d. c. of preceding row.
CLOSED BLOCK: 1 d. c. on 1 d. c., 1 d. c. each on next 2 chain, 1 d. c. on next d. c.
The number of blocks given on the diagrams represent the first row; for the foundation chain make 3 times as many chain stitches as blocks and add 1. Always chain 5 to turn.
The work to be effective must be done firmly and evenly; both loops at top of d. c. should be used and when working closed blocks over open blocks the d. c. should be made in the chain stitch, not around the chain.
Choose a good thread and use as fine a hook as possible. The following table will assist you in planning your work. It is necessarily only approximate:
|
| No. of Thread | No. of Hook | Blocks to Inch |

| 3 | 8 | 3.5 |

Towel Insertions: The models shown on this page will give you some idea of the possibilities of narrow and wide insertions and laces for towels. Nothing could be more complete than the range of designs shown by Nos. 8, 12, 20, 23 to 42, 47, 57, 58, 72 to 77, 84, 92, 97.
Combinations of any of these patterns and the alphabets shown on pages 30 and 31 will be very effective.
The designs on page 22 are adapted for cross-stitching on bibs, towels, etc. for the children.
