Y. 10001 Helpful Hints and General Directions HOW TO DETERMINE SIZE TO MAKE: Directions are based on standard measurements listed below. Allowance has been made to size, stitch, yarn and style of garment for best results. These are general body measurements and may vary with each individual. SIZE 10 12 14 16 BUST 32½″ 34″ 36″ 38″ WAIST 24″ 25½″ 27″ 29″ HIP 34½″ 36″ 38″ 40″ Consult chart to determine size to make not overlooking the fact that these are body measurements and not measurements of finished garment. HOOKS, TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS: Crochet Hooks are made in steel, plastic and aluminum. Steel crochet hooks range in size from 00 the largest to size 14 the smallest. Aluminum crochet hooks range in size from C through K and plastic crochet hooks come in the following sizes: OD, 1-2E, 3-4F, 5G, 6H, 8I, 9J. The size of needle affects the gauge and therefore the measurements of the finished garment. It also affects the texture of the work. A needle that is too fine for the yarn makes the garment stiff and a needle that is too coarse makes the garment stretchy. Tapestry Needles are large-eyed blunt pointed needles used for sewing garments tog or embroidery. An asterisk (*) indicates that instructions immediately following are to be repeated the given number of times, in addition to the original. “Repeat from * 4 times” means 5 times in all. Even means that a row or rnd is to be worked without increasing or decreasing. Work means to continue in same stitch you have been working. Directions in parentheses are repeated as often as specified. “(Ch 3, sc in next sp of petal) 3 times” means whatever is enclosed in parentheses is to be repeated for 3 times in all. CROCHETING ABBREVIATIONS: ch—chain, sc—single crochet, dc—double crochet, sdc—short double crochet, hdc—half double crochet, trc—treble crochet, sl st—slip stitch, dec—decrease, inc—increase, st—stitch, tog—together, rnd—round, beg—beginning, sp—space. TO MAKE DAISIES: These directions can be used for the HERO Crazy Daisy Winder and for the HERO King Size Crazy Daisy Winder. A: Hold winder in left hand with flat side in palm of hand. Turn knob to release spokes (see illustration A). B: Turn winder over with knob underneath and flat side with spokes extended facing you. Hold winder in left hand. With left thumb hold yarn at center leaving end to extend about 1″; with right hand, pass yarn from left to right around spoke No. 1; then across center from right to left around spoke No. 2 directly opposite. Wrap around these 2 spokes once more in the same manner, or as many times as desired (the number of wraps depends upon the thickness of the yarn you will be using). Bring yarn across center and wind from left to right around spoke No. 3; then across center from right to left around spoke No. 4. Wrap around these 2 spokes once more, or as many times as you wrapped around spoke 1 and 2. Bring yarn across center and wind from left to right around spoke No. 5; then across center and from right to left around spoke No. 6. Wrap around these 2 spokes once more or as many times as you wrapped around spoke 1 and 2. Continue in this manner to wrap yarn around 2 spokes directly opposite each other and then passing onto the next 2 spokes until all spokes are wrapped, ending with spoke No. 12. Bring yarn across center and cut leaving 1″ extended beyond center (see illustration B). Do not remove from winder. [Illustration: A] [Illustration: B] C: Center: Thread tapestry needle with yarn. The side facing you will be the wrong side of the daisy. Fasten at center of wrong side as for embroidery. Insert needle under 4 petals and draw yarn through; bring yarn back over last 3 of the 4 petals; insert needle under these 3 petals plus 1 more, making 4 petals in all; draw yarn through. Continue in this manner to bring yarn back 3 petals and then draw it under 4 petals each time until you have made 13 sts. Be sure to have 13 sts or center will be incomplete. As the center sts are worked, weave around the starting end of daisy for a few sts to fasten it securely. Fasten on wrong side. Cut ends (see illustration C). Turn knob to draw in spokes and release daisy. D. Right side of daisy.

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 www.gutenberg.org/donate 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: www.gutenberg.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty 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 not protected by copyright 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: 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.
