FOR

AFGHAN.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER. IN the front of the number, we engrave a ≥ new pattern for an afghan. The materials are German wool of three colors ; bright gold, colored filoselle, and black velvet buttons.

then alternate the color of the border according to pattern. The separate colors must not be cut off, but left until the work is complete. The broad stripe in the middle is continued throughout without change. When the tricot is finished, the marigolds are worked in long stitches, according to the design, with filoselle, and a black velvet button is put into the middle of each flower. The finished stripes may be varied with a stripe of velvet or plush.
