 PELERINE

SHAWL

IN

CROCHET.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER.

THE Pelerine Shawl is a very convenient garment either for the house or country. It is executed in crochet with a Chinchilla wool for the center ; the border and fringe must be of a solid color, as Solferino, blue, violet, orange. Start a chain of ninety-one stitches. On the first row make three Dc. stitches in each stitch, separated by one Ch. stitch ; all the pelerine is made in this way. Return upon your work at each row without cutting your wool. After the first row, in place of passing the hook in the stitch to make the Dc. stitches, it is passed in the first opening. On the tenth row you must commence to enlarge. Make six Dc. stitches in the center opening, which must be separated by two Ch. stitches after the first three Dc. stiches. At the end of each row two Dc. stitches must be made in the last stitch-forty rows Chinchilla and seven rows solid color will make the point. The point finished, crochet one row all around it, with the exception of the space taken by the collar, with the solid color, three Dc. stitches and one chain. It is to this row that the fringe must be attached ; at the three points it is necessary to put six Dc. stitches in each VOL. XLI.- 16
