Needlework author, teacher, retailer, and PBS
television host Shay Pendray brings to each issue of PieceWork
a sampling of patterns, charts, and instructions, gleaned primarily
from old magazines and books that are no longer generally available.
Our adaptation of Holiday Bells to Filet-Crochet, Cross-Stitch,
or Needlepoint, from the November 1926 issue of Needlecraft
Magazine, was included in the November/December 2004 issue
of PieceWork.
Here are the written instructions and chart
for the design in filet crochet exactly as they appeared in Needlecraft
Magazine.

Scarf-End in Filet-Crochet, Christmas-Bell Design
by Nouvart Tashjian
A happy conceit is illustrated in the use of a trio of Canterbury-bells
for a scarf-end, which may well be made a part of a charming Christmas-gift.
Very simple it is, and most attractive. Using a thread that will
give 9 spaces to the inch when closely and firmly worked, begin
at the top with a chain of 128 stitches.

Chart for the holiday
bells in filet crochet.
Chart may be photocopied for personal use. |
Press the lace and pin it evenly on the linen, which should be
laid on a smooth surface--small thumb-tacks are excellent for
holding it and the scarf-end in place; trace carefully around
the upper edge of the latter and cut the linen, allowing for a
narrow hem. About three eights inch above the tracing, draw five
or six threads, following the outline of the lace accurately,
and ladder-hemstitch the space, taking the same threads on both
sides of it to form the little straight bars across. Finish the
sides of the scarf with the narrow hem, and edge with two rows
of spaces, carrying these also around the lace. Attach a three-inch
tassel at each lower corner and middle of the ends.
For the tassel, wind the thread around a three-inch card one hundred
and fifty times, or as many as required to make the thickness
desired, tie the loops tightly at one side of the card, leaving
this tying thread several inches long, or working it into a chain
two inches in length. For the cap of the tassel, chain 3, join;
fill the ring with 8 doubles; 2 doubles in each double, working
in both threads of the stitch; 1 double in double, 2 in next,
all around; then double in each of 2 doubles, 2 in next, all around;
double in each of 3 doubles, 2 in next, all around; increase another
row or two in the same way if a larger cap is wanted, then work
5 or 6 rows without further increase, decrease in next row by
missing every 4th double, then every 3rd, and fasten off. Put
the chain up through the top of cap, through the space and back
through the cap, fastening securely to the knot at the middle
of the tassel-head. Larger or smaller tassels may be made in the
same general way, and are very neat and attractive.
