Welcome to my blog about Home Arts Needlecraft Magazine! I "discovered" this publication about 2 years ago and fell in love with it to the extent that I had to start collecting issues as I ran across them. The magazine began publication with its September, 1909 premier issue, and continued through March, 1941. It has been interesting to follow the changes through the 30 plus years the magazine was published. It is a great source for needlework, fashion, recipes and short stories. Through my journey of sharing my issues online, I hope to discover a pattern of what was popular in different forms of needlecraft over the 3 decades. I hope you enjoy my blog as much as I am (so far!) enjoying posting articles and projects from the issues. Thanks for visiting!

“Dame Crump” in Filet Crochet

By Margaret M. Windon
1913 08 page 15

 
The size of this square when completed depends on the material used in making it.  Unbleached or gray linen thread No. 40 or No. 50, makes a handsome cover for a sofa-pillow, or crochet-cord may be used if preferred.  The great charm of filet-crochet lies in the evenness with which the stitches are placed, and their uniformity.  An excellent way to decide on the size which a certain thread will produce is to crochet a chain one inch long, counting the stitches; to determine the entire length of chain is then a mere question of multiplication.

Commence with a chain of 206 stitches, allowing for 67 spaces and 5 stitches to turn, for 1st space.

1.      Miss 7 stitches, a treble in next, (chain 2, miss 2, 1 treble in next, forming a space) 66 times, turn.

2.     Chain 5, treble in next treble (this always for 1st space), 195 trebles, 1 space, turn.

3.     Chain 5, 4 trebles in 4 trebles, (19 spaces, 10 trebles, counting all) twice, 19 spaces, 4 trebles, 1 space, turn.

87.  Same as 3d row.

88.  Same as 2d row.

89.  Same as 1st row, all spaces.

This completes the square.  To it may be added any border desired, more or less elaborate, or fringe may be knotted in.  The simple scallop of the model makes a pretty finish, and is worked as follows:

1.      Fasten in at the corner space, make a shell of 4 double trebles (chain 4 for 1st), 2 chain and 4 double trebles in the space, fasten in next space with 1 double, *miss 1 space, shell in next, miss 1 space, fasten in next, chain 2, fasten in next; repeat from * around, making a shell in corner space and fastening in the space each side to give the necessary fulness.

2.     Make 2 trebles between 3d and 4th double trebles of corner shell, chain 1, shell of 3 trebles, 1 chain and 3 trebles under 2 chain in center of shell, chain 1, 2 trebles between 6th and 7th double trebles, a treble in the fastening double, *work over next shell as directed, 4 trebles under 2 chain, repeat, working the corners like 1st corner.

3.     Chain 3, miss 1, fasten; repeat around, missing 2 stitches in depth of scallop to prevent too much fulness.

This is a quaint and charming design for filet-darning, on netting, or it may be cross-stitched.
