“ Treble (tr) : Thread over twice, insert hook in st and draw thread through (4 loops on hook) ; thread over and work off 2 loops at a time as for a dc. For a Double Treble (d tr) , thread over 3 times; and for a Triple Treble (tr tr) , thread over 4 times, working off 2 loops at a time as in the tr.
GAUGE... For perfect results your number of stitches and rows should correspond with that in the directions. Before starting your article, make a small sample of the stitch. If your working tension is too tight or too loose, use a finer or coarser needle, to obtain the correct gauge. ”

“ Work 1st 6 rnds as for first motif. 7th rnd: Ch 11, skip 1 sp and 1 tr, tr in next 5 tr, holding back the last loop of each tr on hook and complete a cluster as before. Ch 5, sl st in corresponding ch-11 loop on 1st motif (always keeping right side of work on top) ; ch 5, sc in tip of next cluster on 2nd motif. Ch 5, sl st in next ch-11 loop on 1st motif; ch 5, skip next sp and tr; make a 5-tr cluster on 2nd motif as before, and complete rnd as for 1st motif. Fasten off.
Make necessary number of motifs, joining as 2nd motif was joined to 1st, leaving 2 ch-11 loops free between joinings. ”

“ CHAIR BACK... Starting at lower edge, with Ecru ch 101. 1st row: Dc in 4th ch from hook, dc in each ch across (99 dc, counting turning ch as 1 dc) . Ch 3, turn. Hereafter follow chart for chair back, increasing as for chair seat until there are 135 dc in the row. When work reaches shaping at top, dec. 2 dc at both ends of each row until 99 dc remain. Break off. Make another piece same as this, using only Ecru. Block pieces. ”
