This bag is composed of lengths of hairpin-work of fawn-colored cotton, joined with crochet chain worked in scarlet. For the hairpin-work, commence by making a loop in the cotton, pass it over one side of the fork, turn the fork, the cotton will form a loop over the other side of the fork, insert the hook in the first loop, draw up a loop, * work two doubles into the left-hand loop, take out the hook, turn the fork from left to right, draw up a loop through the stitch from  which you withdrew the hook, then repeat from *. Make fourteen lengths of hairpin-work, twelve inches in length, with fawn cotton. Then work a length of fifteen inches to form the border; join the fourteen lengths by working with scarlet cotton one double into two loops of hairpin-work, three chain; take another length, * one double into six loops together, three chain, one double into six loops of first length, repeat from *, working from side to side the length of the work; all the lengths are joined in the same way. For the bottom a circle of fifteen inches in circumference is needed; this is made by joining seven graduated lengths of hairpin-work together. The centre length measures five and a half inches, the lengths on each side being gradually narrower; this is joined by a needle and thread to the upper part of bag.
