In the 1940s and 1950s, Nell Armstrong published several crochet and knitting leaflets. The company was known as Doreen Knitting Books, Inc. and was located in Rochelle, Illinois.
In 1946, Nell filed U.S. Patent No. 2416040 for her method of knitting socks on two needles. She used this method to create patterns and publish them in four of her pattern leaflets.

In this book are only a few of the things that may be crocheted or knitted of Enterprise Cotton Yarn. Many more will be suggested after a study of those shown. Enterprise Yarn is the ideal material for the sturdy household gadgets shown here. Try it; you will like the way it works; the smooth, tailored appearance of things crocheted of it. The four ply twist of this soft yarn makes it the ideal material for crocheted things for every day use.
ENTERPRISE COTTON KNITTING YARN has met with universal approval since it was first introduced. It's a smooth, yet soft and fluffy yarn—it makes soft, yet sturdy rugs that lay flat—don't curl—hot pot holders and plate mats thick enough to keep off the heat—baby things that can be washed and boiled to sterilize—numerous other household gadgets. It works up fast—saves time in crocheting things for gifts, bazaars and personal use.
DO YOUR OWN DESIGNING
Build individuality into your crocheted rugs, mats for the table, etc.—they are not hard to do and some beautiful effects may be had. Copy your bedspread, tile or wall paper designs as a rug or mat.
Puff Stitch or Ridged Crochet are simple ways to crochet rugs—the colored designs may be laid out on cross ruled (or cross section) paper, by tracing from pictures, colored comics, etc. For Puff Stitch, each square on the paper, within the tracing, is a puff stitch, to be crocheted in the color wanted.
In Ridged Crochet floral designs, colored borders, colored blocks and alternate rows of color are a few of the changes from the instructions that can be made. Ridged crochet may be made as a series of narrow ridged rows across a rug. As narrow and wide rows across a rug, or as all wide or all narrow ridges lengthwise of a rug. Ridged crochet works up about 63 to 65 stitches to the foot—27 narrow ridged rows to the foot. On square, cross ruled paper, each line is a narrow ridged row—two lines for a wide row. Each 10 squares across the paper equals 24 stitches.
If wanted, the cross ruled paper may be tinted in water colors to get the effect before crocheting.

Knitting Patterns
Shaggy Bearskin rugs are quickly made of ENTERPRISE Yarn by tying tassels to the face of a canvas rug back. Select a piece of heavy canvas or drill of the size desired for rug—draw lines on this canvas (or mark dots) ¾" apart lengthwise of the rug and 1 apart across the rug. For a round rug draw circles ¾" apart around the rug and place tassels 1" apart on the circles.
Tassels are made of a number of pieces of yarn cut to desired length and tied to the back at the spots marked by intersection of the lines.
Shaggier rugs with pile are made in solid plain colors. When made with 12 to 14 ends to the tassel, they are especially desirable for living rooms, porch, or bedrooms. (See picture at bottom.)
Designed rugs are best with 2" pile made of 16 to 20 ends. The colors will show as pictured above and many beautiful designs may be made for bath and bedrooms, or the living room.
TO CUT TASSELS
As when knitting, yarn from both ends of each ball may be used and if 5 balls are used 10 ends is the result. To get 20 ends in the simplest manner is the aim. The number of balls of each color to be used in the rug will determine the method to be followed.
If 10 balls of a color are needed, remove "unwind from this end" labels and stand all upright in box on floor, and bring all ten ends up over edge of table and cut into 4" lengths—two lengths will make a tassel.
If only 9 or 8 balls, or less—use yarn from both ends of 1 or 2 or more balls to get 10 ends—after unwinding a portion, change balls feeding from both ends and rotate so that all will run out at one time.
If only one ball of a color is needed, use yarn from both ends and wind 10 times around winding card for each tassel.
A winding card will also help—cut a piece of heavy cardboard 2" wide and 8 or 10 inches long. Around this yarn from 1 to 10 balls (or even all 20 balls) may be wound for 30 to 50 turns to fill the card. After filling the card, the yarn is cut along one edge with a sharp scissors or razor blade. The result is a number of pieces that may be picked up in units of 20 ends and piled criss-cross as shown, ready to attach to the back when desired.
Sewing to Back: The position of each tassel is indicated on the rug back by the crossing of the lines (shown here as four dots). Use a heavy darning needle, threaded with ENTERPRISE Yarn in same color as used for pile of the rug. Stitch through the first two dots and then bring yarn back and stitch through the second two dots of the same set, across the rug—see No. 1 on sketch. Do not pull through, but leave a loop as shown. Into this loop insert one of the tassels (already cut). Find the center of tassel—No. 2 on sketch—and sew to back. To find center, place both ends of the tassel together and pull up against the loop, and then pull the needle end of the thread to tighten loop around the tassel. The tassel should now be allowed to lie out, opened on the rug back and must be placed lengthwise of the rug. See No. 3 on sketch. Grasp both ends of the stitching thread and tie a square knot to fasten securely to the back. Trim off ends of the tying thread even with the top end of the tassel. Repeat, until every set of dots on rug has a tassel on it.
If making conventional designs like stripes, squares, blocks, borders, etc., only these spots are used. If floral, triangular, round, or other unsymmetrical shapes are to be made, it may be necessary to fill in hollow spots with extra tassels to make the desirable smooth texture.
Designs are simple to lay out on the back. Using a soft pencil or crayon, draw the design by connecting dots on which color blocks, stripes, or spots are to be placed. Many designs can be made— copied from almost everything you see; rugs—pictures—drawings —cross stitch designs, etc.
On curved ends as on oval rugs, tie the tassels parallel to the lines drawn on back for 2 or 3 rows—they will drape more symmetrically and "terrace" up to the center more gracefully.
MATERIAL REQUIRED: | 14 end 3" | 20 end 2" |
20" x 30" Rug | (725 tassels) 18 balls | 15 balls |
30" Round Rug | (940 tassels) 23 balls | 19 balls |
30" Square Rug | (1170 tassels) 28 balls | 23 balls |
30" x 45" Rug | (1680 tassels) 42 balls | 34 balls |
24" x 36" Rug | (1152 tassels) 28 balls | 23 balls |
The above is figured on 7⅓ feet of yarn to each tassel. If vari-color designs are inserted, as on the 20 x 30 initial rug, count the tassels covered with the colors—in this design 292 tassels = 292 x 7⅓ = 2141 ft. = 714 yds. or 6 balls (125 yds. to ball). Balance of rug will take 9 balls.
Personal initials as shown are always desirable. A single large initial may also be laid out on any size or shape back.
School and college initials in school colors are suitable for the boys' or girls' room, in round or rectangular shapes.

For a quick dusting job it cannot be beat, and may be used for applying furniture polish, polishing and dusting in the home or garage. The glove pictured is a canvas work glove, obtainable in any store (purchase the size needed), covered with tassels (do not cut ends as for rugs) made by wrapping a single end of ENTERPRISE Yarn, around a card 3 to 3½ inches wide. Wind nine to ten turns for each tassel and pull from the end of the card, double and tie in the middle to the desired spot, as for a rug, to make a bunch of loops.
Tie a row of tassels down each finger and the thumb, and fill the palm to the wrist, with tassels about one inch apart.
Colors can be mixed, or not, as wanted. The fingers can be all of a dark color, and the palm in light shades—any pleasing effect wanted will serve the purpose.
Gloves can be right or left handed, or both, as desired. Try it— you'll like the way it works. Each glove takes about 100 yards of yarn.
