TO JOIN AFGHAN STRIPES OF TWO COLORS.

The ends of the two colored wools should be joined, and then a chain of three be made on one, and this crocheted into the first two stitches of the held together stripes; then a chain of three made on the other wool and crocheted into the next two stitches, alternating the colors through the length of the stripes. In case of a Roman stripe two colors contrasting harmoniously with all the colors used in the stripes should be taken. Black and yellow are generally useful for such stripes.
