Victorian Twine Bag
Twine BagSo many stitches both in crochet and knitting can be used for this useful little article, that nearly everybody can make one to suit their own fancy. The one illustrated is made in alternate blocks of blue and gold. One of the prettiest we have noticed, is formed of very small crochet rings, done with “Brainerd & Armstrong’s” purse silk, black, finished with crimson ribbons and filled with a ball of crimson cord. An open work stitch with the twine some contrasting color is quite ornamental. Click on picture to see more detail. For such a one the following stitch proves satisfactory. Make a chain 9 inches long, work * 3 t. c. into the 5th stitch of ch., ch. 3, 1 t. c., into same stitch as 3 t. c., skip 2 in ch. and repeat from *. Join. 2d row. Ch. 3, * 3 t. c., ch. 3, 1 t. c. into ch. of 3 in first row, repeat from *. All the rows are now made the same as the second. The bag should be 4˝ long, and finished with ribbon and scissors.
