HOW TO MAKE AFGHAN AND PILLOW
I CROCHETING BORDER AROUND OBLONG
OF 28 STRIPS
START WORKING ACROSS THE SHORT SIDE where the join- ing of the 28 strips ended to pick the loose loops with crochet.
With bone crochet hook, fasten the lightest shade of yarn in the corner loop.
I-Ch. 3; 1 s.c. into the center of the first strip of hairpin lace, i
2-Ch. 3; 1 s.c. into the first 4 loose loops.
3-*1 s.c. into the next 4 loose loops.
4-Ch. 3; I s.c. into the next row of hairpin lace.
5-Ch. 3; I s.c. into the next 4 loose loops and REPEAT from last * to end of short side.
ROUND CORNER AND CONTINUE UP LONG
SIDE OF LOOSE LOOPS
I-Ch. 3; * slip hook, through four loose loops. 1 s.c. into loops, Ch. 3; REPEAT from last * to end on long side.
2-Turn corner and join across second short side in same way as one already joined.
3-Turn and finish second long side of loops in same way as one already joined.
THIS BRINGS YOH TO THE STARTING POINT IN CROCHET OF OUTER BORDER.
2nd ROW -Skip 3 chain; 3 d.c. in the next chain; Ch. 3; 3 d.c. into the vame chain. * Skip 3 chain; 1 s.c. in next chain. Skip 3 chain; 3 d.c. in next chain. Ch. 3; 3 d.c. in same chain. REPEAT from last star around the four sides.
3rd ROW-Fasten the medium shade of yarn into the first scallop. I s. c. into the first stitch; * I d. c. into each of the next three stitches. 2 d. c. into the next chain; 1 d. c. into each of the next three stitches. 1 s. c. in the next stitch; 1 s.c. in the next stitch; 1 s.c. into the first stitch of the second scallop; REPEAT from last star around the four sides.
-till ROW-Fasten the dark shade of yarn into scallop, make 1 s.c. into each stitch around the four sides.
5th ROW-Fasten the darkest shade of yarn into the scallop and repeal 4th row.
THIS COMPLETES THE AFGHAN.
PILLOW SIZE 36x24 INCHES TOP AND BACK
Make 12 rows of 80 double loops each; (3 of each color or yarn). Follow instructions given for joining of rows in afghan until the ' 12 strips of loops are joined.
Fold together and join across the 24 inch width with crochet.
Turn right side out and crochet scallops around the two ends same as around the afghan. Make pillow form 18x24 inches and insert into pillow top.
Use
Crochet Forks
Justrite Crochet Forks are perfectly designed and assure the finest work. The "Bottom-Bar" with set screw keeps the fork rigid at all times- cannot fall off - also prevents work from sliding off fork. For the best results make sure your crochet fork is a Justrite!
JUSTRITE
Crochet Forks Nos. 91A-91B-91C
Facinating Work Produces Sweaters, Blouses,
Dresses, Pillows, Collar and Cuff Sets, Berests,
Handbags, etc.
Instructions for Working
Perle Cotton, Boucle Yarn, Germantown Yarn,
Saxony, Cord or Crochet Cottons may be used
in making articles on the Crochet Fork.
No. 1 - Tie yarn or cord or whatever your working
material may be around crochet fork, making a knot in the centre. (keep ball end of thread always on under side of fork while working.) Slip hook under top thread of opposite loop. Draw both loops off hook.
No 2- * drop handle of crochet hook through fork to opposite side, or pull hook out and pick up loop from under side of fork. Turn fork to left way around, make one s.c.; Insert hook under top thread of opposite loop, one s.c. Repeat from * for number of loops needed in making desired article.

Join top row of loops together with one s.c. into each loop. Join the two ends together. Continue around top until you have 6 rows of s.c. Then finish off with one picot, one s.c., one picot, one s.c, etc., until you have a picot on every other stitch around top.
Handle
Chain 64 stitches, turn, one s.c. into each st. to end of row. Turn; one s.c. in each st. to end of row. Turn, continued until you have 4 rows. Join the two ends of strip and sew firmly at corner of bag. Crochet balls may be added to end of handle.
To Join Lower Rows:

Use any size Fork, No. 91-A- 1% inch, No. 91-B -2 inch. No. 91-C - 3 inch.
In starting any wearing apparel or fitted items, make a few loops on the fork, measure the crochet part through center with ruler to find out how many loops arc required to the inch. Then multiply this amount with the number of inches needed to find the length the strips are to be made.
Where larger strips are needed, such as hips, bust, etc., extra loops are added to strips, and when they are joined to smaller strip, three loops are picked up every third, fifth or seventh stitch, instead of two as given in joining collars.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING AFGHAN AND PILLOW
OF YARN MALTESE CROCHET
AFGHAN Size 50x72-Requires 16 4-oz. sheins yarn.
PILLOW Size 18x24 top and back requires 4 4-oz. skeins.
MATERIAL NEEDED:
1 3-incb JUSTRITE CROCHET FORK No. 91-C.
1 Size 5 or 6 BONE CROCHET HOOK.
20 4-ounce skeins or its EQUIVALENT in KNITTING WORSTED or GERMANTOWN YARN.
2/5 yds. colored material or Sateen for pillow form.
FOUR shades are used in the Afghan pictured, therefore 4 skeins of each share are needed for the Afghan. The pillow requires 1 skein of each.
AFGHAN INSTRUCTIONS:
Wind each color of yarn into two separate balls.
The Afghan and pillow pictured arc made throughout of double loops.
MAKE THE CROCHET LOOPS FIRST. (See illustration pictured of working on JUSTRITE CROCHET FORK and follow printed instructions given on page 1. At the starting point tie the ends of the two balls of light yarn around the fork. This gives you a double working thread instead of a single one as shown in the illustrated picture.) Start working pulling both strands of yarn through at the same lime, making your loops double on the fork instead of single.
CROCHETING ROWS TOGETHER
Take up one strip of the lightest shade.
1-Slip the crochet hook through two double loops (this gives you four single loops on the hook).
2-Take up a row of the Medium shade-Slip the hook with the loops of light shade already on, through the first two double loops of the medium shade and draw through the light loops, holding the medium loops on the hook.
3-Slip hook through next two double loops of light shade and draw through the medium shade, holding the light loops on the hook.
4-Then two double loops of medium through two double loops of light, continue alternating until both strips are joined to end of row.
5-Take up strip of dark loops and
same way.
AMOUNT OF ROWS TO BE MADE
6-Take up strip of darkest loops and join
to dark row in same
way.
Light Shade - 7 rows of 176 double loops each.
Medium Shade- 7 rows of 176 double loops each.
Dark Shade - 7 rows of 176 double loops each.
Darkest Shade - 7 rows of 176 double loops each.
TOTALING 28 ROWS of 176 DOUBLE LOOPS EACH.
