y, but any other fancy stitch
may be used that is liked. Among others may be named Lancaster-stitch,
made as follows: Having a chain of an even number of stitches, turn.

1. Miss 1st stitch, a double in each remaining stitch, turn.

2. Chain 3, wool over, draw a loop through 1st stitch, over, draw a loop
through next stitch, over, draw a loop through same stitch, over, draw a
loop through next stitch, over, draw through all the loops on needle, *
chain 4, a double in 1st stitch of the chain just made, which closes or
joins the cluster of loops, over, draw a loop through same stitch with
last loop of preceding cluster, over, draw a loop through next stitch,
over, draw a loop through same stitch, over, draw a loop through next
stitch, over, draw through all the loops on needle, and repeat from *;
turn.

3. A double in 1st space, double around the thread between 4 chain and
cluster; repeat, ending with a double in top of 3 chain with which last
row started. Repeat 2d and 3d rows for the pattern.

The bird's-eye-stitch is simple and pleasing: Having a chain of desired
length, turn.

1. Miss 1, a double in each stitch of chain, turn.

2. A double in double, taking front loop of stitch in last row, a double
in next double, taking back loop; repeat to end, and repeat 2d row.

Still another pretty stitch, easily adjusted to any garment, is as
follows: Chain a number of stitches divisible by 3, turn.

1. Miss 1, a double in each remaining stitch of chain, turn.

2. Chain 1, a double in each double of last row, turn.

3. Chain 1, a double in each of 2 doubles, * wool over, insert hook in
3d stitch of 1st row, take up wool and draw through, (over, draw through
2 stitches) twice, miss 1, a double in each of next 2 doubles; repeat
from * to end of row, turn.

4. Same as 2d row.

5. Chain 1, a double in each of 1st 2 doubles, * wool over and make a
treble as before, inserting the hook under the treble of 3d row, miss 1,
a double in each of 2 stitches; repeat from * to end, turn. Repeat 4th
and 5th rows.

And another still: Make a chain of length required, turn.

1. Miss 3, a treble in next stitch, * miss 1, 2 trebles in next stitch,
repeat to end of row, turn.

2. Chain 3, 2 trebles between each group of 2 trebles in last row;
repeat. Repeat 2d row.
