Baby Irish Crochet Lace

This volume continues our i"1 Album How to make Irish Crochet Lace in which the directions for the different stitches of this lace have been given.

Baby Irish Crochet Lace is worked as the other but it is finer. Finer thread is used and round the sprigs which are smaller, rows of stitches with picots are usually worked instead of the filling.

Baby Irish Lace has always been very much in vogue for trim- mine babies and children's garments and also lingerie. It is also

o o o

very effective for trimming blouses and can be mixed with other kinds of lace or with embroidery.

Materials required for the

Making of Baby Irish Lace

or coid than the working thread and is used as a padding for

certains sprigs. The cotton used for this cord is the Cordonnet

6 /ils c.-l). a la Croix Art. 20 . balls of 25 or io grammes. The

<! cotton used as a cord for Bab} h"ish Lace is usually n° 5.

This kind of lace is absolutely different from classical Irish Lace.

It is a handsome work, and is the reproduction of old pieces. The working is not difficult. The sprigs are made separately, then joined together by a rilling of ch. and p.

Each sprig is made of a heavy and open work wheel, forming the centre with 3 flowers. The flowers usually have 5 small leaves, some only have 3. For the joining, a flower must sometimes be omitted, and sometimes a detached flower is used; you can thus work the shape you wish.

All sprigs are begun in the same way.

Over the cord wound 3 times round the handle of the crochet needle or on a very narrow net mesh, work :

/ row. — 24 d. st. worked very tightly — join the last to the 1 -' with a tight st.

2 row. — Without the cord — but leaving it underneath — 3 ch. - 1 d. st. into the 2nd nearest st. of the ring — repeat 1 1 times.

?- row. — As the 2nd row, thed. st. is worked into the holes of the previous row.

5'-- row. -- Always with the cord. - - Work on the back loops of the d. st. - - 16 d. st. increasing 1 st. every 4th st. Begin a flower.

Leave the cord. — T. — 2 ch. — 1 d. st. on the 2nd nearest st. to the end of the leaf. - - T. — 2 ch. — 1 d. st. into the nearest hole.

At the end of the 2nd flower always d. st. on the ring - then on the circle — join the beginning to the last row.

rings are sewn on

the small ones which form the centre of the flower, and on the

heavy and open worked circle.

For a ring wind the cord 4 times round the handle of the cro- chet needle and fill it with d. st. worked very closely.

While working draw the st., then on a crochet needle or on a

— 49 -

mesh make the ring quite round; the wrong side of the work is the right side of the ring.

To fill these small rings there should be about 25 d. st. Baste the sprigs on glazed calico or oil -- cloth on which the pattern has been traced out, and with the same thread, work a filling of ch. and p.

8 ch. - i d. st. into the 3rd st. — 3 ch. — join to a leaf. — So as not to break off the thread too often slip ch. under the leaves. - Sometimes work 2 or 4 ch. according to the empty spaces.
