### Tricks of the trade:

#### BASIC DIRECTIONS

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.

#### PREVENTING SLANT:

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.

## DESIGNER COLLECTION HAIRPIN LACIFIED

As seen in color on our front cover, photographed in Morocco

Materials required:
SUSAN BATES®
  or
MARCIA LYNN®
3-inch Hairpin Lace loom
4-inch Hairpin lace loom
  (Use adjustable loom adjusted to 4-inch width)
Crochet Hook J or 10
4 Ply Knitting Worsted—
  24 ounces White
  20 ounces Purple
  20 ounces Blue
  or colors of your choice

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.

### PILLOW:

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.

## YOUTHFUL LOOK
NOW IS THE TIME

### TAM and SCARF

Materials required:
SUSAN BATES®
  or
MARCIA LYNN®
3-inch Hairpin Lace loom
Crochet Hook J or 10
Pom-Pon maker
4 ounces 4-ply Knitting Worsted for TAM
8 ounces 4-ply Knitting Worsted for SCARF

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.

TAM: Make hairpin lace strips as follows:
  1 strip of 30 loops
  2 strips of 60 loops
  2 strips of 90 loops

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.

### FASHION SUCCESSORIES

Material Required
SUSAN BATES®
  or
MARCIA LYNN®
Crochet Hook D or 3
1 Pack “Bone” rings—size desired
2 Yards Velvet Ribbon
4-ply Knitting Worsted—1 ounce

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.

### Covered Buttons

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.

### Button Rings

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™
Project Gutenberg™ 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™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ 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™ 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 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

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