Josephine Weal Ryan describes chain (crochet) weaving, a form of hand weaving in which crocheted chains serve as both warp and weft and are darned over and under on a simple frame or two-roller loom. She lists the equipment (bone crochet hook, punched cardboard spacer, smooth stick, shuttles, needles), gives step-by-step directions for two scarves with shaped ends, and describes a child's sleeveless bed jacket with woven trim bands. Yarns are specified (Bernat Heather, Spanish Stocking Worsted) along with finishing by steam pressing. Photographs show the finished articles.
