COMFORTER.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER. MATERIALS.-White Berlin wool ; blue filoselle ; crochet-hook. A chain of eighty stitches worked rather loosely will be sufficient for a comforter. Upon a foundation the required length, crochet for the 1st row : Like the first line forward of a common tricot row ; returning, the two first stitches are worked off separately, as usual, by drawing back the thread. Then crochet seven chain, loop the thread round the needle, work off separately the two next stitches of the preceding line, seven chain, and so on to the end of the row. In this manner work six lines forward and six backward, in which the loops always fall reversed, as represented in the design. Then draw double blue filoselle silk lengthwise through the loops of this stripe, and sew the stripes in a spiral form, stitch upon stitch, so that the filoselle appears to wind through in a slanting direction. Finish by ornamenting the comforter with a white or blue and white woolen, or silk tassel.
