Crocheted Insertion Pattern #58

Remember that you need a crochet thread of a size, texture, lustre, and color or shaded color right for the purpose. The thread should be of a quality to wear so that it will not break and make your work valueless. The color must be Boilfast so that innumerable washings will not fade it. These necessities to good work are found in both Clark's O.N.T. and J. & P. Coats Threads.

Mercerized Crochet is made in sizes 1 to 100 in white, and 1 to 70 in ecru; Boilfast colors in sizes 30 and 50. Size 1 is the coarsest, 100 the finest.

Make ch length desired. 1st row: 1 s c in 7th ch from hook, * ch 3, skip 3 sts of foundation ch, s c in next. Repeat from *. Ch 4, turn, make 2 rows like 1st row, working s c in loops of preceding row. Ch 3, turn. 4th row: 2 d c in 1st ch loop, holding last 2 loops of 1st d c back on hook, working them off with last loop of 2d d c. * Ch 3, 2 d c as before in next loop, and repeat from * to end, ch 4.
