Chapter VI: Part 6

Crochet border at top of sock. Work 1st row in lavender: Make 2 double crochet, both in same place in a rib; make 1 chain and repeat the same in every rib.

=Next row in white:= * Work 1 single crochet in the 1 chain on row below, then make a chain of 3 stitches; skip 2 double crochet and make 3 double crochet in the next 1 chain, a chain of 3 stitches and repeat from *. This row finishes off the top.

Take 2 threads of the yarn, 1 in white and 1 in lavender, and make a chain 25 inches long for the cord. Pull through the holes made for it at top of sock.

Put a tassel on each end of cord and tie in front of sock.

=Tassel:= Wind the yarn over 4 fingers 10 times; tie a linen thread around hank in middle and fasten to end of cord. Pull the loops down and wind the yarn around a few times, ⅓ of an inch from cord. Cut even at bottom.

If different size is wanted make more or less ribs on the narrow part at top of foot.

Directions for Washing Articles Made from Worsted Yarns

Washing: Prepare a suds, not too strong, by shaving Wool Soap into very hot water, not boiling; add a few drops of ammonia and a pinch of borax.

Allow the garment to stand in the suds for a few minutes, then move it gently back and forth through the suds until clean. Do not rub soap on the article and do not rub it with the hands.

Rinsing and Drying: Wring the garment lightly with the hands, and rinse in clear warm water, moving it back and forth as in the suds. Repeat the rinsing in a second clear warm water; then wring the garment lightly with the hands, shake slightly and dry quickly in the open air, being careful not to stretch it.

SUNLIGHT YARNS were used exclusively for all the work described in this book.

Knitters are advised to purchase at one time enough yarn to complete the work, in order to insure absolute uniformity of shade.
