The New Tatting of to-Day #231712

The body of the butterfly is crocheted. Before you try to make the body for the butterfly, it is wise to have a little practice. Just make a few rolls and then it will be easier to make the perfect body. When you come to the place where you draw the thread through the roll on your needle, you will find that it is easier to get the stitch through this roll. If you do not take the thread to be drawn through it too closely to the work. Hold the roll between the left hand fore finger and thumb. Keeping it well under control; and there you are. Your stitch will go through without any trouble.
