MATERIALS FOR
SUPERIOR CROCHET AND
MACRAME WORK
THE success of crochet and macrame work depends largely
choice of superior materials which are suitable for the work, giving
upon the careful
it the
clean and finished appearance which is often missing from work that, being
made from poor material, has an amateurish appearance. We recommend
especially, for cotton crochet work:

Bucilla Crochet
Bear Macrame

Bucilla Crochet
A smooth working, highly mercerized cotton suitable for making laces,
center pieces, belts, purses, bed spreads, etc. White and ecru are made in
fifteen sizes and the fifteen beautiful colors are made in four or more sizes. This
is an American product and superior to all the imported articles that have
been offered heretofore.

Bear Macrame
Is a heavier, mercerized, hard twisted cord suitable for all kinds of Mac-
rame work as well as for crocheting. From it are made bags, portieres, table
covers, lamp shades, etc. It is much called for by the exclusive trade.

Glossilla Crochet
Resembles the finest silk crochet thread, is more lustrous and retains its
luster under all circumstances. It is used for neckties, belts, bags, etc. is put ;

up in convenient cartons from which the thread can be drawn while working, the
remainder being entirely protected by the transparent shell. Each carton con-
tains enough material for one necktie or belt.
This carton has been patented.

Klondyke Thread
Is a soft metal thread for crocheting. It comes in a rich, bright gold color,
also in aluminum, antique gold and antique silver. It is superior to all metal
threads on the market ; does not tarnish easily and is most satisfactory for work-
ing purposes.

FOREWORD
^
~\ he new art of Cro-Knitting is, as its name
implies, a combination of crocheting and
knitting, the effects produced being as

^.^1^ beautiful as they are novel. The variety

of unusual stitches is almost without
limit and leads the worker, who desires something
out of the beaten path, into new fields that tempt
her to go on and on seeking and finding unknown
beauties at each step. Once mastered, Cro-Knit-
ting may be used for numerous purposes.
In presenting this new art to the public, we
feel that it will be welcomed by the many friends
BEAR BRAND MANUAL
of the OF HANDI-
WORK.
We have included, in addition to Cro-
Knitting, a number of designs for the new
Crocheted Lattice Work that need only to be seen
to be appreciated.
We wish, however, to advise the worker that
in carrying out the various directions given, she
uses exactly the materials designated. The
directions were tested with the yarns and needles
named and only by their use can the proper re-

sults be obtained. Do not substitute another yarn

and then wonder why your work is not satisfactory.

followed by one or more rows of plain knitting.

KNITTED ROWS: the wool is to be held in

the usual manner. The first stitch is to be
slipped or knitted as directed, but where a row of
knitting commences with a different wool, the
first stitch is always knitted, to keep the stripe
distinct.

CROCHETED ROWS: when working these

from the knitting pin, the hook is inserted
through the stitch on the pin, as though it were
a second knitting pin (from left to right). When
working into the back of a stitch, the hook is
inserted in reverse manner (from right to left).
When working the crocheted rows the wool is
passed over the fingers of the left hand. When
two knitting stitches are taken together the hook
is passed through the stitch nearer the left hand

(as in knitting) before entering the stitch next to

the point of the pin. When the back threads of
two stitches are taken together, this is reversed
and the crochet hook enters first the stitch at the
point of the pin. As the crocheted rows are

 BEAR BRAND MANUAL
OF HANDIWORK
THE recognized authority on the arts of

knitting and crocheting has nearly two

hundred pages, full of illustrated in-

structions. It is a fund of knowledge, as well

as pleasure, for beginners and experts.

It describes the famous Bear Brand Yarns

and tells how to use them for making many
beautiful garments, giving explicit directions

from the first stitch to the last one.

If you have enjoyed the work as planned in

this Cro-Knitting book you should certainly
have the MANUAL which has been compiled
with equal care. If you are not interested
now, you will doubtless become so upon seeing
the many beautiful pictures it contains of

garments photographed on living models.

The " Boy's Military Outfit" illustrated is

one of the 250 new designs described in the

latest edition.
