An asterisk (*) or dagger (†) indicates that the directions immediately following are to be repeated the given number of times, in addition to the original. Thus “rpt from * (†) 3 times” means to make pattern 4 times in all.
[ ] All sts within brackets are to be worked in same st or place. Example: [1 sc, 1 dc, 1 sc] in next st. means to work 1 sc, then 1 dc, then 1 sc all in same next st.
ch (chain st)—Make a loop on hook (to begin work), * yo, draw thru loop; rpt from *; each rpt is 1 ch st.
sl st (slip st)—Insert hook in st, yo, draw thru st and loop on hook.
sc (single crochet)—Draw up a loop in st (now having 2 loops on hook), yo, draw thru 2 loops on hook.
dc (double crochet)—Yo, draw up a loop in st, yo, draw thru 2 loops on hook, yo, draw thru last 2 loops on hook.
tr (treble crochet)—Yo twice, draw up a loop in st, [yo, draw thru 2 loops on hook] 3 times.
Make a chain the desired length. Row 1—Work in Afghan Stitch as follows: draw up a loop in 2nd chain from hook and each remaining chain (there will be the same number of loops on hook as the number of chains made), complete row as follows: yo, draw thru 1 loop on hook, working back, * yo, draw thru 2 loops on hook; rpt from * across. Row 2—Draw up a loop in 2nd bar from edge, draw up a loop in each remaining bar (there will be the same number of loops on hook as for first row), complete row as before. Rpt row 2 for pattern for the required number of rows.
Spread a pad (on a table or on the floor) on which the afghan can be stretched and pinned. Having wrong side up, pin afghan on pad (using rustproof pins) about every inch, stretching it to the given measurements. Lay a damp cloth over it, pass a hot iron lightly over the cloth allowing the steam to go through the material but do not let the weight of the iron rest or press on it. Leave afghan pinned down until dry.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit http://pglaf.org While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: http://www.gutenberg.org This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
