A FLOWER “TIDY”
Useful to the Keen Needlewoman
Scissors and thimble are always ready to hand if you possess this pretty little ‘'tidy. - ' shaped like a’carnation with a long stalk. First, using rather thick green silk, crochet a chain about twelve inches long. Double it and secure it to a small pair of scissors. Then knot it once again half-way down to prevent it becoming tangled. The. thimble is held in the cup of
the flower, which is also crocheted with green silk. Commence the cup with a little circle of chain large enough to hold your thimble, but no larger. Crochet iu diminishing circles, using the thimble as guide for size. Attach tint stalk before the cup is quite closed. Petals of bright red silk are crocheted one by one into the top of the cup, loops of four chain having six treble worked back into them, and being given a picot edge as finish, so that they seem to have the.curly appearance of the real flower petals.
