REBLES, SET BETWEEN THOSE OF THE
PRECEDING ROW.]

Join the 5 loops on the needle together, 2 and 2, make 2 chain, 1 over,
put the needle into the upper parts of the connected trebles and finish
with a treble, and so on.

These trebles also can be lengthened if necessary, but in that case, the
width of the crossed treble must correspond with the height. Generally
speaking you make the trebles over the same number of stitches as you
made overs on the needle, which should always be an even number.

TREBLES FOR A CHAIN.--A quicker way of making a wide footing for a
crochet lace is to make the trebles in the following manner.

Make 4 chain stitches, 2 overs, put the needle into the first of the 4
chain, 1 over, draw the thread through the stitch *, 1 over, draw the
thread through the next 2 loops and repeat twice from * = ** 2 overs,
put the needle into the left bottom part of the treble, close the treble
as before and repeat from **.

(5) KNOT STITCH (fig. 423).--This stitch which is composed of several
loops forming a tuft, can only be worked from one side, consequently all
one way. It looks best in a coarse material to show the interlacing of
the threads.

Enter the needle through the two loops of the stitches of the bottom
row, turn the thread round the needle, but away from you towards the
back; bring it forward to the right side, put the needle again through
one of the bottom stitches, make another over like the first and draw
the needle through all the bars at once.

(6) BULLION STITCH (figs. 424 and 425).--For bullion stitch, select a
needle, a little thicker towards the handle, and finer than you would
use for any other crochet stitch.

[Illustration: FIG. 424. BULLION STITCH.]

[Illustration: FIG. 425. BULLION STITCH.]

Begin by making a chain of very loose stitches, then wind the thread
several times, very evenly, round the needle. Insert the needle into a
loop of the chain, make a single over, and draw it with the last over
upon it, through all the other overs.

Trebles in bullion stitch, fig. 425, are worked in just the same manner,
only that you have to turn the thread, at least 10 or 12 times round the
needle and draw it through all the overs at once. To facilitate the
passage of the needle, keep the overs in their place with the thumb and
forefinger of the left hand.

Bullion stitch can only be worked with wool or a very fleecy thread,
such as Coton a r
