To make it use either linen, cotton, silk, or mercerised thread. Peri-Lusta crochet, size 16, is a good size for this purpose, and a No. 2 steel crochet-hook.

With an Irish crochet blouse this buckle would go very nicely; it could be worn with any washing gown or with a shirt blouse of soft material. In silk it looks very handsome.
