Long Stitch or Long Treble — Turn the cotton twice around the
needle, work as in treble stitch,- bringing the cotton through two loops
three times.
It is probably unnecessary to explain " chain " stitch, as it is the
foundation of all crochet, and is only a straight series of loops, each
drawn through the preceding one.
