MATERIALS .-Some stiff cord-liner, such as comes for corset-lacers ; two shades of one color zephyr, single or contrasting colors, or floss silk ; or a mixture of wool and floss may be used. Our design calls for yellow floss and emerald-green wool. Begin in the center with the green wool, and work in single crochet-stitch over the cord ( observing to hold the cord firmly and work close) three rows ; then tie on the floss silk, and do three stitches in it, pass it under, and do four in wool for one round ; then do two rounds in wool, widening enough to keep the work flat; then one row floss and wool. So continue until the case is large enough for convenience. By looking closely at the design, it will be easy to
count the stitches ; and the number of rows in all will greatly depend upon the . manner. of working. If the work is done loosely, it will require a less number of rows to make the proper size, and will not look so well. The object is to work close and firm, and with a moderately fine needle. For the last row, work it double crochet ; make a slightly scalloped edge by working the center stitches ofthe group in treble crochet ; do this row in the wool, and finish off with the floss. Some pieces of flannel, button-hole stitched round the edge with the floss to hold the needles ; make four of them, decreasing in size. Narrow green ribbon for strings, and tie the two sides of the case together, completes the requisite material.
