Anne Orr's Afghans to Crochet and Knit - Anne Orr
Note.
A Victorian Afghan
(Shown on page 4)
Used by Miss Cornell in The Barretts of Wimpole Street
This beautiful afghan of the Victorian period was used by Katharine Cornell in the production of The Barretts of Wimpole Street
by Rudolf Besier and loaned by Miss Cornell for publication here.
It is crocheted of wool, in afghan stitch, about the quality and weight of four-fold Germantown, in white, grey, and black, and because of the difference in amounts of brands no definite estimate can be given. In addition to these colors, a medium size bone afghan hook is needed. It measures about 57 × 75″ but may be made longer if desired. The work should measure between 4 and 5 stitches to the inch, and the cross-stitching is worked directly on this with tapestry wool.
First, with the white, ch 47, and work as follows:
1st row: Draw up a loop through horizontal bar in the back of second and remaining sts, keeping the loops on the hook. There will be the same number of loops on the hook as the number of sts on the ch. 2nd row: Yarn over and through end loop, * over and through next 2 loops together, repeat from * to the end of the row. 3rd row: The loop that remains on the hook is the first st of this row. Pick up a loop through the second and remaining vertical bars, retaining the loops on the hook. Work back as directed for 2nd row. Repeat these two rows, until there are 290 afghan rows (an afghan row is composed of these two rows), or until the work measures 65 inches. Make two other white strips. Make two grey strips, for which ch 30 (for each strip) and work the same length as the white strips.
Make four black strips, each starting with a 13-st ch. Then make two black strips, each starting with a 25-st ch. Then on each of the white strips, cross-stitch one of the designs given on the colored cover, making a cross-stitch over a square of the afghan stitch, and using one strand of tapestry wool in the needle. One square on the pattern stands for one stitch, and the color in this square gives the exact color for that particular
