How to Crochet

Excerpt from How to Crochet: Illustrated The necessary materials for crochet work are either twine, linen thread, worsted, cotton or silk, and a crochet needle. The needle may be of bone, wood, rubber or steel; it must be even and smooth. A five-inch bone needle is considered best for twine, long wooden or rubber needles for worsted, and steel for cotton, silk or thread. The beauty of the work will depend greatly on the accuracy and evenness of the stitches, but this result can only be attained by practice.
