Art and Pleasure

“Painting With Needles”

To the Romans who cradled culture, all forms of created beauty constituted Art. Fine sewing of all kinds, they called “Painting with Needles”.

Today, centuries later, we find millions of American women, those of wealth and those of more modest means alike, also painting with needles. They are expressing the beautiful in colorful yarns, and perpetuating culture with their crocheted creations made for the comfort and pleasure of gracious living.

And it is more than art! Women have learned and are learning how to dress better for less and how to adorn their homes with practical, yet lovely, articles of usefulness.

Crocheting with Dexter Cotton Warp is, in a sense, the fair flower of an art that our great-grandmas practiced not alone for pleasure, but with an eye to the practical—the art of the weaving of rugs. Their yarns were not so fine and lovely as of today, nor so amazingly easy to work with. But then, as now, women found pride and delight in the home-arts, and now crocheting, the art of the hour, flaunts many of the exquisite designs that have survived those early rugs.

You who love to crochet seek of course the most beautiful and authentic designs, and finest materials to work with. This Book is for you. In it you will find fascinating variety, and you will meet as from the pages of history patterns originally conceived by Colonial grandames, or Spanish senoras, or Bavarian peasants—designs from all over the world. You will find the instructions simple and easy to follow. Choose, and know the thrill of superior crocheting. Save money. And feel free, please, to make us your crocheting headquarters. We shall always be glad to serve you.

A Century of Service Weaves Beauty and Long Life Into Your Crocheting!

A hundred and twenty years ago N.G.B. Dexter dreamed of working magic with cotton, and he founded his mills in rugged New England to make that dream come true. His were the first mills in America.

Today American women have that same faith and reliance in the cottons that bear the name of Dexter. Today as never before, there is fulfillment of his early dream. For women are working magic with cotton, they are creating beautiful things with soft lustrous yarns of delicious colors, sensuously lustrous, yet strong and enduring. And today, as never before, the name of Dexter on yarns carries assurance of unsurpassed quality, of almost a century and a quarter of continued integrity.

Choose Dexter cottons. They will weave into your crocheting unparalleled beauty, and retain that beauty far longer than ordinary yarns can promise....

MATERIAL—Dexter Cotton Warp. Art. 380, 1 tube natural 100. Crochet Hook No. 8.

Begin basket at center of solid piece at base—ch 4, join, 6 s c in ring, join with sl st. Continue working until there are 10 rows of s c, increasing by adding an extra s c in each row as needed to keep work flat until piece measures 3 in. across and begin lace edge.

Row 1—Ch 3, 1 d c in each of 1st 3 s c, ch 2, skip 2, * 1 d c in each 4 s c, ch 2, skip 2, repeat around, join.

Row 2—Ch 3, * d c in last d c of group, 2 d c over 2 ch, d c over 1st d c of next group, ch 2, repeat from * around.

Row 3—S c over 1st 2 ch, * ch 2, over next 2 ch, make 1 tr, ch 3, and fasten in for picot. Repeat tr and picot alternately until 6 tr have been made in same space, ch 2, s c over next 2 ch and repeat from * around. Fasten. This completes base of basket.

Handle—Make a chain 14 in. long, 1 s c in each st of chain, turn and work back across row in s c.

3rd row—Ch 3, 3 d c in each 3 s c, * ch 2, skip 2, 4 d c in 4 s c, repeat from star across handle.

4th and 5th rows—S c as on other edge. Work 1 row of picot on each side of handle.

Attach warp to last row of s c in solid part of basket base and work evenly 14 rows of s c. This brings height of basket to 2 inches. Ch 3, 3 d c in each of 3 s c, * ch 3, skip 3, 4 d c in each of 4 s c, repeat around. Next row ch 3, 2 d c in space below, 1 d c in d c below, * ch 3, 1 d c in 1st d c below, 2 d c in space, 1 d c in last d c below, repeat from star around row and repeat this row 4 times. The next row is worked the same but increase in each space by making ch 5 instead of 3. Next row, ch 3, 3 d c in space, ch 2, 1 d c in 1st d c of group below, ch 2, skip 2, 1 d c in 3rd d c below, * ch 3, 1 d c in last d c of group below, 3 d c in space, ch 2, 1 d c in 1st d c of row below, ch 2, skip 1 d c, 1 d c in d c below, repeat around row. This last row increases basket for top flare. Next row—ch 3, 3 d c in space, * ch 2, 4 d c in space below, repeat around working 1 group of 4 d c with ch 2 between in each space of previous row. Repeat this row 4 times and finish edge as in base beginning with row 3 of edging instruction.

Make a very thick cooked starch, rub well into basket, place a glass or can in basket to shape, spread and pull base until flat and as basket dries stretch the top as much as possible in one direction to give width and flare to basket.

Let handle dry flat then sew to sides of basket across narrow width and down on sides of basket about 1½ inches. Use a glass in basket for flower container.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
