TWO WOOD CHESTS AND A WALL CABINET

TRAVELLING GLASS (fKJ. 3) 
To make the cover select a glass of the size desired. Make 
the bottom of the cover one roll larger than the base of the glass, 
then turn the roll as described in the basket instructions, but 
insert the needle underneath the roll instead of into it. Bands 
of various colors can be woven in if so desired. When the 
work covers half the glass, end the lower half more abruptly 
than the ending of the basket. Make the upper half in exactly 
the same manner and fit over the glass. 
The colors used in the glass cover shown are light blue with 
lalack and orange with black. 
A reed filling can be used instead of the raffia filling, but 
with reed a different stitch must be made. 
In Fig. 4 the small stripe is alternate squares of black and 
green, the wide band is black with Indian red designs. 
The two largest baskets in the group are made from brown 
and natural raffia.
