COLONIAL CHAIR SET
No. 7168

MATERIALS:

CLARK’S O.N.T. or J. & P. COATS PEARL COTTON, size 5, 9 balls of Ecru and 2 balls each of Green and Blue. Milward’s steel crochet hook No. 6 or 7. Bias binding. Cotton batting. 1 yd. of any material.

Completed chair seat measures about 16″ x 16″, measuring across center; chair back measures about 8″ x 14½″.

GAUGE: 10 sts make 1″; 4 rows make 1″ (1 square is equivalent to 3 dc).

TO CHANGE COLOR: Before drawing through last 2 loops of last dc of one color-group, drop this color, pick up 2nd color, thread over and draw through the 2 loops on hook. Continue with 2nd color according to chart, carrying the dropped color along top of previous row and working over it to conceal.

CHAIR SEAT... Starting at front edge, with Ecru ch 125. 1st row: Dc in 4th ch from hook, dc in each ch across (123 dc, counting turning ch as 1 dc). Ch 3, turn. 2nd row: 2 dc in 1st dc (2 dc increased), dc in each of next 29 dc. Then, holding Blue along top of 1st row, with Ecru make dc in each of next 3 dc (thus concealing Blue), changing color in last dc of Ecru group. With Blue make dc in each of next 3 dc, carrying Ecru concealed in dc’s and changing color in last dc of Blue group. With Ecru make dc in each of next 51 dc, carrying Blue concealed in dc’s and changing color in last dc of Ecru group. With Blue make dc in each of next 3 dc, carrying Ecru as before and changing color in last dc of Blue group. With Ecru make dc in each dc across, dropping Blue after carrying it for 3 sts, and inc. 2 sts at end of row (127 dc). 3rd row: 2 dc in 1st dc, dc in each of next 31 dc; conceal Blue in next 3 Ecru dc, changing color in last dc of Ecru group; 3 Blue dc, changing color as before; 21 Ecru dc. Then, holding Green with Blue along top of 2nd row, with Ecru make dc in each of next 3 dc (concealing Blue and Green), changing to Green in last dc of Ecru group. With Green, make dc in each of next 3 dc, carrying Ecru and Blue concealed, and changing to Ecru in last dc of Green group. With Ecru make dc in each of next 24 dc, dropping Green after carrying it for 3 sts and changing color in last dc of Ecru group; 3 Blue dc, changing color as before. With Ecru make dc in each dc across, increasing 2 dc at end of row (131 dc). Ch 3, turn. Continue in this manner, changing colors as indicated by symbols on chart, and increasing 2 dc at both ends of each row until there are 159 dc in the row. When work reaches the shaping at top, dec. 2 dc at both ends of each row until 123 dc remain (to dec., work off 2 dc as 1 dc twice). Fasten and break off. Make another piece, using Ecru only.

Block pieces. Cut 2 thicknesses of any material to same shape as crocheted pieces. Sew the 2 pieces of material together, leaving an opening. After filling with cotton batting, sew up opening (finished pad should be slightly smaller than crocheted pieces). Place wrong sides of crocheted pieces together, and baste edges, leaving an opening of 12″ at top. Then bind basted edges and both edges of opening. Insert pad, and sew edges of opening together. Sew two 8” lengths of bias binding at each corner of top edge, for ties (stitch raw edges together).

SIMPLE CROCHET STITCHES

1 ... Single Crochet (sc): Insert hook under 2 loops of st, draw thread through (2 loops on hook), thread over, draw through both loops on hook.

2 ... Double Crochet (dc): Thread over, insert hook in st and draw thread through (3 loops on hook); thread over, draw through 2 loops, thread over, draw through 2 remaining loops. Work Half Double Crochet (half dc) like dc, but draw thread through all 3 loops at once.

3 ... Treble (tr): Thread over twice, insert hook in st and draw thread through (4 loops on hook); thread over and work off 2 loops at a time as for a dc. For a Double Treble (d tr), thread over 3 times; and for a Triple Treble (tr tr), thread over 4 times, working off 2 loops at a time as in the tr.

GAUGE... For perfect results your number of stitches and rows should correspond with that in the directions. Before starting your article, make a small sample of the stitch. If your working tension is too tight or too loose, use a finer or coarser needle, to obtain the correct gauge.

BLOCKING DIRECTIONS... Using rust-proof pins, pin individual pieces right-side-down on Turkish towels. Press with a hot iron, through a damp cloth. When thoroughly dry, remove pins.

TO LAUNDER COTTON ARTICLES... Before laundering, record all important measurements. Use a good neutral soap or soap flakes; make suds in warm water. Squeeze suds through article until it is clean. Rinse thoroughly and wring out. Lay out article on Turkish towels, according to recorded measurements, and pin in place with rust-proof pins. Press through dry cloth. When thoroughly dry, remove pins. Press lightly where necessary.

IMPORTANT... Be sure to buy at one time sufficient material of the same dye lot to complete the article you wish to make, as it is impossible to avoid slight variations in colors in different dye lots.

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 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.

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.
