Rh 2d row: Pass the slipped-off loop at the back of the chain; draw up a loop through it, then work one chain through the loop, draw up a loop through the next loop, and under the chain, work one chain through the loop. Repeat from the beginning of the row until all the loops are worked up; the loops are worked off as described for the first row.

The second row is repeated throughout. Remember that in afghan stitch, or tricot, working up and off, is reckoned as one row. TUFT STITCH.

Fig. 96.

1st row: One double into each foundation stitch.

2nd row: * One double into a stitch: draw up a loop through the next stitch, draw the right side of the loop with the finger and thumb of the left hand, over the left side of the loop (see arrow), insert the hook into the loop thus held by the finger, draw up a loop, turn the thread over the hook, draw up another loop, draw through five loops on the hook together, work up a loop through the last stitch worked into, draw through both loops on the hook together. Repeat from *

These two rows are repeated throughout, arranging the tuft stitches so that they lie between each other in alternate rows; this is done by commencing one pattern row with the double, and the other with a tuft stitch.
