cotton.

SINGLE CROCHET.--Insert the needle in the loops, and draw the cotton
through this loop and that on the needle.

RIBBED CROCHET.--This is worked in a similar manner to double crochet,
only that the under loop of the previous row is taken, and it is done in
rows to and fro.

LONG STITCH.--Twist the cotton round the needle, pass it through the
loop, draw the cotton through the first two loops on the needle, then
catch the cotton again and draw it through the next two loops; there
will be one loop left on the needle.

DOUBLE LONG STITCH.--This resembles long stitch, excepting that the
cotton is twisted twice round the needle.

TREBLE LONG STITCH.--Twist the cotton three times round the needle.

SINGLE OPEN CROCHET.--This is a succession of long stitches, with a
chain-stitch between each, missing one stitch of the foundation; in the
succeeding rows the long stitch is worked between the two long stitches
of the preceding rows.

DOUBLE OPEN CROCHET.--This consists of two long stitches, then two
chain-stitches; or it may be varied by making one long stitch, two
chain-stitches, missing the same number of stitches in foundation as
there are chain-stitches.

TREBLE OPEN CROCHET.--Work three long stitches, then three chain,
