VISUAL CROCHET

A new idea in crochet. All you have to do is follow the squares on the chart. The basic stitch is the chain used for foundation to start your work. Then the single crochet stitch shown in the diagrams. 1-2-3-4.

Each little square = 1 stitch.

Change in colors are indicated.

Rows are numbered.

Chain Stitch

Hold work loosely between middle finger and thumb right under the hook, * twist hook on thread (this will be referred to as “thread over”) and pull thread thru loop on hook, repeat from * until chain is desired length.

BALANCED RUG
Approx. 22″ × 35″

Material:

10 skeins white rug yarn;

2 skeins red rug yarn;

2 skeins royal blue rug yarn;

2 skeins col. green rug yarn;

2 skeins lemon yellow rug yarn;
size J crochet hook.

Directions: chart color numbers—1. white; 2. red; 3. blue; 4. col. green; 5. yellow; follow chart closely. Using double yarn throughout (two strands worked as one) using 1st. color. Ch. 41—sc. in 2nd ch. from hook and in each st. across. Ch. 1 turn.

Row 1: Sc. in 1st. sts. Let the 1st. color yarn hang and tie on 2nd color—1 sc. in next st. with 2nd. color. Now hold the 2nd. color along your work and using 1st. color work 1 sc. in next 3 sts. Working over the 2nd color let these two colors hang and tie on 3rd color. 1 sc. in 9th st. using 3rd. color—now let this color hang (to be there when you come back across) with 1st. color working over 2nd color, put 1 sc. in next 4 sts. Let first color hang and put 1 sc. of 2nd color in next st. Let this color hang (to be there when you come back across). With 1st. color put 1 sc. in each st. on across row—ch. 1—turn. Watch your chart—as we write the second row through for you.

Row 2: Still working with 1st. color—1 sc. in 1st. 26 sts. or as you see in chart back to 2nd color. Let 1st. color hang. Put 1 sc. in next st. using 2nd color (hanging from previous row.) Put 1 sc. with 1st. color (working over the 2nd color) in next 4 sts. Drop these two colors. Pick up 3rd. color (left hanging before.) Put 1 sc. in next st.—let this color hang as before. With 1st. color working over 2nd color put 1 sc. in next 3 sts. Drop 1st. color, using 2nd. color put 1 sc. in next st. (now let this color hang)—with 1st. color put 1 sc. in each st. to end of row—ch. 1—turn. Work in this manner watching the chart. When one color isn’t used for a while (note chart) as in 4th. row color no. 2 isn’t used again til the 17th. row—tie that color off and put it back on again in the 17th. row to keep from having to work over it all the way.

Border: Using a single strand of yarn—put sc. sts. evenly spaced all around the rug—putting 3 sts. in the corner to turn. Put 1 row of scs. around using each color—Using red first row; white second row; green third row; yellow fourth row; blue fifth row; tie off yarn.

This is a very useful way to crochet and many new ideas will open themselves to you using this method of carrying yarn and watching a chart. See visual chart on page 43.

AFGHAN
MADE IN SQUARES AND CROCHETED TOGETHER LIKE AN OLD-FASHIONED QUILT (PATCHWORK)

Material:

12 skeins White rug yarn;

9 skeins Blue rug yarn;
size J crochet hook

1st Block: Using 1st. color—ch. 15 turn.

Work over your 2nd color (lay the strand of yarn along your work and sc. with the 1st. color as usual). This is done throughout—using alternating colors as the block indicates.

Row 1: 1st. color—1 sc. in 2nd ch. from hook and in each st. across ch. Ch. 1 turn. Pull the strand of yarn you’re working over to the back of your work after the Ch. 1 in each row. (To keep your work smooth on the edges.)

Rows 2 to 14: 1 sc. in each st. across row—ch. 1 to turn each row. Tie off yarn. Keep the yarn you are working over just tight enough not to pull your work. It is supposed to show through (note picture).

The next block is made the same way only alternating your colors.

Make 54 blocks in all. (27 blocks of color).

Work in loose strands around each block so they will sew together neatly.

TO SEW TOGETHER

Take two squares of different colors and slip st. together on corner using any color you like. We used a light color to show pattern of stitches in picture. With yarn on back side of your work pull the loop on your needle from the slip st. out long enough to reach 1st. st. in 1st. row of 2nd block (on the right). Put needle through st. Pick up yarn and pull through loop on needle (slip st). Pull loop on needle long enough to reach 1st. st. in 2nd row of 1st. block (left one). Put needle through st. Pick up yarn from the block and pull through st. and loop (slip st). Pull loop long enough to go to 1st. in 3rd. row of right block. Slip st. Repeat, skipping every other row. Alternate in each block. When you reach the top of the two blocks add two more and repeat till the length is reached (9 blocks high—6 blocks wide). Then working from the side repeat the same st. down each row until the whole Afghan is together (note picture).

Border: Put 3 rows of sc. evenly spaced all around—putting 3 sts. in each corner to turn—tie off yarn. Photo on Page 23.

KNIT

All visual patterns can be knitted. Look at the croc. pattern, find out how many ch. sts. you start out with and cast on one st. less. Use number 8 large size knitting needle. This makes the same gauge—2 sts. to the inch, 2 rows to the inch. When just the border pattern is given, look at the croc. pattern to find out how many rows to make. Most of the patterns for rugs use a double strand of yarn; just hold them together and knit as you would one strand.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING FRINGE
(1¼″ Loop Recommended)

Working with wrong side of rug up, attach two strands of yarn to edge of rug, and with crochet hook pull both strands of yarn through a single crochet stitch and form the 1¼″ loop. Then wrap one strand of yarn back under the loop. Pull the strands up snug; then to form the next 1¼″ loop, pull both strands of yarn through the next stitch to the left, and again wrap one strand under the last loop made. Proceed this way all around the rug.

LOOP STITCH PATTERN

*Loop st.—Put your needle through st. wrap yarn over your finger twice counter clockwise. With needle go under 1st. strand through loop on finger, pick up last strand, pull through loop on finger and through st. Finish like a sc and on to the next.

ABBREVIATIONS

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
