INFANTS' SACQUES. This little sacque is done in common shell stitch ; it is easily made, pretty, and fits nicely. First make a chain stitch the length required for the article to be made ; then in every third stitch make four treble crochet stitches. (For a treble stitch turn the wool around the needle, put it in a stitch, bring the wool through and draw it through two loops twice.) In every succeeding row make the. shells into the center of the shells in the preceding row. Material for a Sacque : Two ounces of white split zephyr, half an ounce of blue or pink and a medium-sized bone hook

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
