Anti-macassar
Stocking Stuffers are usually placed by the chimney and usually have
goodies inside of them. They are used during Christmas as decoration
purposes and are most loved by children. Children will usually leave
something in there for Santa or wait to have something in their from
Santa on Christmas day.
ANTI-MACASSAR.
MATERIALS..—Brooks' Great Exhibition Prize Goat's-head Crochet Cotton, No. 24.
This anti-macassar must be begun on the line of d.c., forming one end. Make a chain of the required number of stitches, including the borders, and work the whole anti-macassar, except the border which is at the one end, below the foundation chain, which must be done last of all. Or the centre can be done entirely first, and the border worked all round afterwards, increasing at the corners. We, however, recommend the former method.
This pattern is extremely well adapted for darning on square netting. In that case the netting may be done in Brooks' Knitting Cord, No. 60, and the darning in Embroidery Cotton, No. 70. The centre only can be done thus—a netted border must trim it.
