Crocheted Lace Com
bined with Braid

For the wide edging use No. 10 crochet
needle and No. 70 linen thread. Also use
the large size braid.
First fold two links Of the braid to-
gether, then four links. and fold them
over and around, tying them all together
with q thin thread. Always skip one link,
, then take the next two links. fold them
together in the same way, then four fold
ed over the two and tie as before. Con-
tinue this until you have made as great
length of lace as you require.
All the outside links being separate
they must now be connected. SO tie the two
| adjacent links together. Do this the full
| length Of the lace. 1t is now ready to be
| crocheted.
| Catch. where the links come together,
with three short stitches, then crochet
chain long enough TO allow the link to lie
! perfectly fiat Crochet a short stitch
around the single braid first, then three
short stitches where the links are caught
together, then one single stitch on the
other side OF the single link TO hold II In
place. Continue this the length OF the
piece you are making. For tho ncxt row,
| put four single crochet above, where the
links come together; then make half the
number Of chain that you put into the
chain below. then two single crochet into
the middle Of the chain. then the half
number Of chain again. which brings YOU
| again TO where the links come together,
and again make four single crochet.
The last row is made by simply covering
what you have done. with short stitches.
The row that runs through the centre
OF the braid, is made on the wrong side
Start on the end with a short stitch. make
! 5 chain, catching II into the centre OF tho
! two inner links Then chain. catching
It in again with a short stitch. DO tins
Until you have made three loops. Then
make chain again. catching II where
tho inks are tied together. Continue this
the length OF the lace Now you are
ready for the edge Of the lace. Make
short stitches into the space between
the links. then chain catching with
short stitch into the braid, then chain
and catch II into the top Of the short
stitch. then a single crochet. into the con-
nected link, and chain, then short
stitches In the next link. Continue this
the fun length OF the lace.
In the next row make a short stitch in
the first OF the four short stitches above
the link, then 3 chain. caught into the
last Of the short stitches, then chain
caught into the loop with a short stitch,
then chain caught again into the loop
| with u short stitch. Five chain again Into
the first OF the stitches above the link,
and continue this until the whole row is
finished.
The next row is the last row. Cover the
chain OF three with three short stitches,
then single crochet into the chain OF ..

single crochet, then 7 Single crochet into
the next chains. short stitches. COW

the scallop. This is repeated the length
Of the lace.
THE WIDE INSERTION.
For the wide insertion use a smaller
sized braid and No. 90 linen thread, and
fold and tie II as In the edging. Then
crochet the first row with the chain as In
the edging. The second row Is varied
little. Make three single crochet into the
short stitches which hold the links to-
gether, chain across the full length OF
the links. then make three single crochet
into the middle short stitch. This is con-
tinued the length Of the lace. For the
next row put the three single crochet into
the middle stitch OF the chain. Then
chain half as many az you have below
and put one single crochet into the mid
die Of the single crochet In the row be-
low This Is continued the length Of the
lace.
