Weldon's Seventh Series - More Useful Articles

Weldon's Seventh Series is full of even more "useful articles for personal and home decoration". Let's find out what that includes! There are 26 items and 20 (not 30) illustrations this time. Five are antimacassars and three more stitch patterns that they say are good for antimacassars. Antimacassars must have been very useful!

Amazon Stripe Antimacassar and an Infant's Petticoat

Bourbon Rose Pattern for Antimacassar

For clothing and wearable accessories there is a Tam O'Shanter (of course) and a Smoking Cap (with no illustration), trimming for a chemise, an infant's petticoat (pictured above) and the Etta Petticoat for a two-year old.

There's this cute (and useful) set of a Princess Pelisse, a cape and a hat.

Other useful clothing and accessories include baby gloves, chemise trimming, a boa and a muffler, a gentleman's vest and a lady's petticoat.
They also have another "quilt" square along with a hexagon and a border.

I thought about making the "Roman Stripe, A Lovely Pattern for a Chair-Back" mostly because of the introduction to it. Many of the patterns jump right into the instructions but when we get a little intro to it, it makes it a little more fun. Maybe they put a little extra into the description because there isn't a photo.
The Roman Stripe introduction says, "worked throughout in plain double crochet, and the beauty of the pattern consists in the arrangement of the various colours, which are artistic, and therefore will harmonise with the surroundings in almost any room with the proviso that should blue predominate therin a pretty shade of pale China Blue be substituted for the apple green here mentioned." The pattern appears to be like tapestry crochet. They are alternating colors in every stitch and cutting the ends after every row and restarting a new row with the same side facing the whole time. The yarn at the beginning and ends of the rows will be the fringe. I wasn't quite up the challenge though and decided to make a Wool Dahlia for next week's blog. They say you can put 12 of them together to make an antimacassar.  I'm just going to make one dahlia.
