Step 1: Remove cross bar from bottom of hairpin lace loom. Loom is held with round end up (or remaining bar up if adjustable loom). Form a slip loop ½ the width of loom, place left prong through loop (illustration #1), replace cross bar.
Step 2: Pass yarn around right side of loom and across back ([illustration #2]), insert crochet hook in loop and pull until knot is at center, pick up yarn and pull through loop (illustration #3), remove hook from loop.
Step 3: Insert hook in dropped loop from back (illustration #4) turn loom toward you from right to left, passing yarn around back of loom, chain 1 (illustration #5) sc in front loop to left of center sts, (illustration #6) drop loop from hook.
(Note: If easier for you, do not drop hook from loop before turning, but pass shank of crochet hook through to back of loom and then turn and proceed as in step 3 after turn.)
STEP 1 · STEP 2 · STEP 3 · STEP 4 · STEP 5 · STEP 6
KEEPING TWIST: To keep twist in loops, insert crochet hook from back to front in loops, then follow directions given.
WORKING LOOPS STRAIGHT: Insert crochet hook from front to back in loops, then follow directions given.
When joining strips they sometimes have a tendency to ride uphill or to one side. We therefore suggest the following method of joining. Alternating from strip to strip, with starting end always on the right, insert hook in 2 right loops of 1st strip and pull through 1st 2 left loops of 2nd strip, then 2 loops on 1st strip, etc. until all loops are joined. Fasten off.
Insert crochet hook in 2 left loops of 3rd strip, pull 2 right loops of 2nd strip through, etc.
Insert hook in 2 right loops of 3rd strip, pull through 2 left loops of 4th strip, then 2 loops of 3rd strip, etc.
Insert hook in 2 left loops of 5th strip, pull through 2 right loops of 4th strip, then 2 loops of 5th strip. Finish all last loops by pulling remaining length at center of strip through last loop, bring end back to center and work back through several sts at center. Conceal all ends.
COUNTING LOOPS: There must always be same number of loops on EACH side of loom. When a large number of loops are required use a SUSAN BATES® marker to mark the 50th or the 100th loop on each side, then count from marker. This will be a time saver.
FULL LOOM: Remove cross bar, slip all but 3 or 4 loops off loom. Replace bar and roll loops up; secure with SUSAN BATES® 4½ inch stitch holder to back of work to prevent stretching of loops while continuing strip.
GAUGE: Measure the stitches at center of loom; if you get more stitches than called for, change to a larger crochet hook; if you get less stitches than called for, change to a smaller hook.
Make one strip each 80-85-90-100 loops. Cut felt to shape of collar, approximately 4 inches wide. For a larger collar, cut felt wider and add strips, being sure each strip is at least 5 loops (each side) longer.
Starting at neck edge, with overcast stitch at center of strip sew 80 loop strip ¼ inch from neck edge. Space the next four strips so that the last one (100 loops) comes about ¼ inch from the outside edge.
CUFFS: Make two more strips of hairpin lace to fit sleeves. Sew ½ inch from edge.

With white, work 9 strips of hairpin lace each having 397 loops on each side of staple. Working on first strip with blue or contrasting color sc through first 5 lps inserting hook through all 5 lps at one time and keeping loops straight. Do not twist, ** ch 5, * sc through next loop but twist loop twice. Repeat from * twice, ch 5, sc through next 5 lps, keeping lps straight. Repeat from ** across strip. Ch 6, sl st in center of strip, ch 6 and work down other side of strip in same way. At end of strip ch 6, sl st in center of strip, ch 6 and fasten off in corner loop.
2nd Strip: Join blue in corner loop, ch 6, sl st in center of strip, ch 6 then work down 1 side. At end of row ch 6, sl st in center of strip, ch 6.
You are now ready to join to first strip.
TO JOIN: Sc through first 5 loops of free edge of 2nd strip, ch 2, join to center st of 1st lp of 1st strip (to join: drop lp from hk, insert in st, pull lp through), * ch 2, 1 sc in each of the next 3 lps of 2nd strip (twist each lp twice), ch 2, join to center st of next lp of 1st strip, ch 2, sc through next 5 lps of 2nd strip, keeping lps straight, ch 2, join to center st of next lp of 1st strip, repeat from * across strip.
Work and join all strips as above.

Yarn is used double. Each loop has two strands of yarn but is still called a single loop.
Edgings on both afghan and pillow are made on a 3-inch loom, even though the afghan is made on a 4-inch.
AFGHAN: With 4-inch loom and J-10 crochet hook, make strips of 130 lps each on each side of loom as follows: 6-purple, 7-blue, 12-white.
To join: Starting with blue strip, join to white strip (as per instructions below), then join to purple strip, then to white ... continue thus for length of afghan, ending with blue strip.
Join loops by pulling 2 lps through 2 lps, always starting at the same end. When all strips are joined, weave in all ends, and finish as follows. Finish sides of afghan by pulling 2 lps through 2 lps. Fasten last 2 lps securely. Attach double yarn at corner, and working along ends, sc in corner, * ch 2, sc in next lp. Repeat from * across, ending ch 2, sc in corner st. Ch 1, turn.
ROW 2: Sc in first st. Then work * 2 sc in ch 2 space, sc in next sc. Repeat from * across. Fasten off. Work other end of afghan the same way.
EDGING: With purple yarn and 3-inch crochet loom, and working on one side of loom, make 2 strips each of 200 lps, and 2 each of 150 lps.
To Make Edging: Edging is worked in the same way as regular strips, but instead of working the single crochet down the center of the loom, it is worked close to one prong. This will make the loops on one side of strip longer than the other. With J-10 crochet hook, and working on smallest loops, pull 2 lps through 2 lps all the way across each strip. If you prefer, the long loop may be cut for a fringe effect.
Sew the longer strips to the sides, and the shorter ones to the ends, easing them around the corners, keeping them flat.
Make 18 strips each of 42 lps each side as follows:
6—blue
4—purple
8—white
Join by pulling 2 lps through 2 lps as follows: Starting with blue strip continue with white, purple, white, blue, white, purple, white, blue, blue, white, purple, white, blue, white, purple, white, blue. When all strips have been joined, join the first strip to the last. Weave in all ends. Slip pillow form in and sew both ends.
EDGING: With purple yarn and 3-inch crochet loom and working on one side of loom, make a strip of approximately 200 lps, or enough to go around pillow. Finish short loops by pulling 2 lps through 2 lps, and sew to pillow.

Your Notes:
GAUGE: 5 sc = 1 inch at center of strip.
Make 5 strips each of hairpin lace with 300 lps on each side of strips.
FINISH STRIPS: When 300 lps are made and before taking loops from loom, ch 10. Now slide all loops from loom and work as follows. Insert hook through first 5 lps and work 1 sc, * ch 6, 1 sc in next group of 5 lps, repeat from * to end of strip, ch 10, 1 sc in center of hairpin lace strip, ch 10, and work up other side of strip the same as the first side, ch 10, and sl st in center of strip. Fasten off. Repeat for remaining 4 strips.
TO JOIN STRIPS: Row 1: join yarn in first group of first strip, ch 6, 1 sc in first ch-6 space, * ch 6, 1 sc in next ch-6 space, repeat from * across, ending ch 6, 1 sc in sc of last group, ch 6, turn.
ROW 2: 1 sc in first ch-6 space, * ch 6, 1 sc in next ch-6 space, repeat from * across row ending with ch 6, turn.
ROW 3: 1 sc in first group of 2nd strip, ch 3, 1 sc in first ch-6 space of first strip, ch 3, 1 sc in next ch-6 space of 2nd strip, * ch 3, 1 sc in next ch-6 space of first strip, ch 3, 1 sc in next ch-6 space of 2nd strip, repeat from * across row, ending ch 3, sl st in last group. Fasten off. Join remaining strips in the same way.
Join yarn to first group of 5 lps, ** ch 6, sc in same group, * ch 6, sc in next ch-6 space, repeat from * across row ending ch 6, sc in last group. Ch 6, sc in same group. Working across end, * ch 6, sc in next space. Repeat from * across, ending with sc in first group of other side. Repeat from ** once. Join with a sl st. Fasten off.
FRINGE: Using a 10-inch cardboard, wrap yarn around enough times so you have 6 strands for each ch-6 space across both short ends. Cut yarn at one end. With 6 strands folded in half, pull folded end through first ch-6 space. Now slip loose ends through folded section, and pull knot up close to work. Work 1 group of fringe in each ch-6 space across each end. Trim fringe even.
For Sizes 14-16, make two strips of 92 lps each for back.
Finish each strip as follows:
After last loop is made, ch 6, slip loops off loom being careful not to twist. Make a sc through first 4 lps, * ch 4, make a sc through next 4 lps. Repeat from * across strip. Ch 6, sc in center of strip, ch 6, and work down other side of strip in the same way. At end of strip, ch 6, sl st in center and fasten off. Join strips as follows, putting them together as shown in diagrams. Sl st in top of cluster on first strip, ch 1, sl st in top of cluster on second strip, ch 1, sk 1 ch on first strip, and sl st in next ch.

TIES: Make 2.
With yarn double, make a chain of 40 sts.
Add pom-pon and attach to bonnet.
GAUGE: 5 s c to 1 inch.
NOTE: Yarn is worked double throughout. Each loop has two strands of yarn which will be referred to as a SINGLE LOOP.
Make 14 strips of 120 SINGLE LOOPS on each side of loom. Join SINGLE LOOPS by pulling 2 SINGLE LOOPS through 2 SINGLE LOOPS always starting at same end and working from right side. Fasten last 2 SINGLE LOOPS securely. Finish sides by pulling 2 SINGLE LOOPS through 2 SINGLE LOOPS. Weave in all ends.
EDGING—Make a strip of hairpin lace long enough to go around all four sides of blanket allowing a little extra for fullness at corners. It is better to have too much as it can be pulled out. Finish one side of this strip by pulling 2 SINGLE LOOPS through 2 SINGLE LOOPS. This side will be sewed to the edge of the blanket. Leave SINGLE LOOPS on the other side loose to form fringe. This may be cut if desired.
Gauge: 3 stitches—1 inch; 2 rows—1 inch.
Directions are for Small-size 38. Medium-size 40-42 and Large-size 44 are in parentheses.
Pattern:
ROW 1: Skip one ch, * 1 sc in next ch, 1 dc in next ch, repeat from * across row. Ch 1, turn.

RIGHT FRONT: Ch 37 (41-45).
Work in pattern for 6 (6½-7) inches. Decrease one st at neck edge every other row 16 (18-20) times, and at the same time, when piece measures same as back to armhole, work armhole the same as back. On remaining 12 (14-16) sts, work straight until armhole measures same as back. Slip st across first 6 (7-8) sts, ch 1, work pattern across next 6 (7-8) sts. Fasten off. Mark this piece for buttons (four).
LEFT FRONT: Work same as right front, reversing all shaping, and making buttonholes to correspond with markings on right front.
TO MAKE BUTTONHOLES: Work to the dc before the first buttonhole. * Work this dc, ch 1, skip next sc, work dc in next st. Continue to work pattern to next buttonhole marking and repeat from *. Finish pattern across row. On next row, work in pattern, using the ch 1 to replace the st skipped. Sew shoulders and sides. Sc around armholes and outside edge of vest. Sew buttons in place.

GAUGE: 5 s c = 1 inch at center of strip
Directions are given for small size (12). Changes for medium (14) and large (16) sizes given in parentheses.
MEASUREMENTS:
Width across front at underarm: 18 (19, 20) inches
Width across back at underarm: 17 (18, 19) inches
BACK: With darker color work 80 (90, 100) lps on each side of staple. Work 10 (for all sizes) more dark strips. Work 10 (for all sizes) strips contrasting color. This completes strips from lower edge to underarm running horizontally. Work 1 strip contrasting color with 68 (78, 88) loops. Work 3 strips dark color and 2 strips contrasting color each with 64 (74, 84) loops. This completes strips for armhole.
TO ASSEMBLE: Always work strips with starting loops on right edge and beginning length of yarn at top. Take 1 dark strip, place 1 contrasting strip above; insert crochet hook in 1st 2 loops of top strip on right edge, insert crochet hook in 1st 2 loops of lower (dark) strip and pull through top strip, insert in next 2 loops of top strip and pull through. Continue in same manner across strips working alternately into top and lower strip until joining is completed. Place a dark strip on top of light strip and join in same manner. Alternating colors continue joining all strips to underarm.
SHAPE ARMHOLE: Take the strip with 68 (78, 88) loops. Skip 1st 6 loops on last strip, then work joining as before, skipping last 6 loops. Take next color strip with 64 (74, 84) loops; insert hook in 2 loops of top strip, then insert through 4 loops of lower strip and pull through, then join as before working last 4 loops tog. Alternating colors, continue joining all armhole strips.
FRONT: Work 11 dark strips with 90 (100, 110) loops and 10 contrasting strips with 90 (100, 110) loops. Work and mark following strips for neck and armhole shaping: 2 strips 34 (38, 42) loops contrasting color, 2 strips 28 (32, 36) dark color, 2 strips 24 (28, 32) contrasting color, 2 strips 20 (24, 28) dark color, 4 strips 16 (20, 24) contrasting color, 2 strips 16 (20, 24) dark color.

Gauge: 3 sc = 1 inch at center of strip.
Yarn is used double. Each loop has two strands of yarn but is still called a single loop.
FIRST STRIP (30 lps): Thread a piece of yarn through all loops on one side of strip and tie yarn tightly forming a circle. Attach ends at center of strip together. Attach second strip (60 lps) by pulling 2 lps of second strip through 1 lp of first strip with crochet hook, 1 lp of first through 2 lps of second, until all loops are joined. Fasten end, and sew center ends of strip together. Starting each strip in a different place, join 3rd strip (90 lps) by pulling 2 lps of second strip through 3 lps of third, and 3 lps of third through 2 lps of second, all around. Fasten. Join fourth strip (90 lps) by pulling 3 lps through 3 lps, all around. Fasten. Join 5th strip (60 lps) by pulling 3 lps of fourth through 2 lps of fifth, and 2 lps of fifth through 3 lps of the fourth, all around. Fasten.
To finish last strip, pull 2 lps through 2 lps all around. Fasten off. With J-10 crochet hook and yarn used double, work around edge of tam as follows: Work 45 sc around. Join with a slip stitch. Work two more rows of single crochet, stitch for stitch. Fasten off. Make a large pom-pon with a Susan Bates or Marcia Lynn pom-pon maker and attach to top of tam.
SCARF: Make 4 strips each of 150 loops. Lay two strips side by side on a table. Keep in mind that each loop has two strands of yarn but is still called a single loop. Put crochet hook through first 2 lps on first strip. Now put hook through first 2 lps on second strip and pull them through the 2 lps already on hook. With these 2 lps still on hook, pick up the next 2 lps on first strip and pull them through. Continue in this manner, alternating first and second strips, until all loops have been worked. Fasten off as shown in basic directions. Join 3rd to 2nd and 4th to 3rd strip in same manner as above. Finish outside edges by pulling 2 lps through 2 lps all the way to the top.
TO MAKE FRINGE. Wrap yarn around a six-inch cardboard 96 times. Cut at one end. Each piece should measure 12 inches. Take 6 strands and fold them in half. Pull folded end through work with crochet hook, drawing it through about 2 inches. Then pull the 12 loose ends through this loop, and pull until knot is formed. Space them—2 at each end of each strip, making 8 at each end. Scarf may be made wider by adding more strips.
Your Notes:
Designs by BARBARA O’BRIEN
Working tightly, work 30 s c around first bone ring and join with a sl st. Without breaking yarn, work 15 s c in next ring (to cover half) and continue to work 15 s c in each ring until 19 rings are joined. Work 30 s c in last ring (20th), and then working down the other side, work 15 s c in each ring (to cover other half) until all rings have been covered. Weave in end of yarn. Slip ribbon in and out of each ring, leaving end on each side long enough to make a bow. Belt may be made longer or shorter by adding or subtracting rings in multiples of two. Always use an even number of rings.
When making covered buttons, always use the smallest crochet hook possible for the yarn you are using. Work should be firm to make a neat button. Also, the cover should be a very tight fit. Lay yarn on table and make a double loop. Pick loops up, and insert crochet hook, and bring through a loop from ball end of yarn. Ch 1 to secure loop. Work 6 s c in loop. Pull short end until hole is completely closed. Fasten this end off.
Round 2: Work 2 s c in each s c around.
Round 3: * Work 1 s c in first s c, 2 s c in next s c. Repeat from * around (18 s c). If you are covering a larger button, continue to increase 6 s c in each round until piece is size of top of button.
Woman’s Belt
Covered Buttons & Rings
Work one round even. Insert button mold and work around in s c, decreasing 6 st each round until mold is covered as much as possible. Break off, leaving an eight-inch length of yarn. Thread this on yarn needle and weave around final edge, pulling in tightly. Fasten off.
With crochet hook, work as many s c around plastic ring as needed to completely cover ring. Break off, leaving a 10-inch strand of yarn. Thread this strand on a yarn needle and work in and out of every other stitch around outside of ring. Carefully pull yarn until all sts are turned to inside of ring. Fasten off. On larger rings where one row will not fill up center, work a second row around, making a s c in every other stitch before breaking off.
For a more decorative button, sew a rhinestone or colored stone to center of button.
All directions in this book have been carefully checked for accuracy. We cannot be responsible for human errors, or misinterpretation of directions.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm 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 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread 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-tm electronic works.
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm 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 Web site which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
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.
