MATERIALS:
Clark's O.N.T. or J. & P. Coats Pearl Cotton, size 5, 6 balls of shaded or solid color.
Milward's steel crochet hook No. 8.
20 yds. of heavy cord or fine clothes line.

When completed, large mat measures 9 inches in diameter; medium mat 7½ inches in diameter; and small mat 6 inches in diameter.

Large Mat … Attach thread to end of cord and tie securely. Then work s c very closely together for 1 inch. Twist s c-cord into a circle and, picking up back loop of each st, make 2 s c in each st around. Continue in this manner, increasing where necessary—by making 2 s c in 1 s c—in order to keep work flat, and making the necessary number of s c to completely cover cord, until piece measures 9 inches in diameter. Cut cord and fasten off securely.

Medium Mat … Work as for large mat until piece measures 7½ inches in diameter. Fasten off.

Small Mat … Work as for large mat until piece measures 6 inches in diameter.
