These chair sets offer a variety of designs to suit the different types of furniture on which they will be used. To get the desired effect, use the size of thread and crochet hook indicated. Should you prefer to use the soft finished unmercerized Clark's O.N.T. Knitting and Crochet Cotton, you will find that Milward's steel crochet hook No. 6 is the correct size.

This set is very pretty in self-shading color to harmonize with the color scheme of a room. Ecru is also popular because it blends with all colors so beautifully.
