No gauge or yardage given.

This pattern uses “White Zephyr” and “Chinée Worsted” wool. Zephyr is a term that describes both a possible weight and texture of a yarn. Zephyr weight is similar to modern fingerling, while zephyr textured yarn could come in a variety of weights. Chinée wool is yarn that is “shaded in various colors.” Worsted refers to the production process of yarn, not the weight, and is similar to sport. While not expressly mentioned, you will likely need pink yarn as well, to complete the lining.

Based on this I assume the white yarn is either fingerling or sport, and the shaded yarn is sport. I assume the pink yarn would be the same weight.

(This information was interpreted using the article “Commend me to a Knitting Wife” by Colleen Formby.)

The pattern calls for two crochet hooks, No. 5 and No. 4. I am not sure how these translate to modern sizes. The suggested hook size for sport weight yarn is 3.5- 4.5 mm, so that is what I listed.

This pattern uses several stitches, each of which are briefly explained in the pattern. The fur stitch is also called the loop stitch. The Gobelin stitch is a type of Tunisian crochet, and is also known as Waffle, Brick, Net or Full Stitch. Afghan stitch is also used.

“The muff consists of two pieces, and outside and lining.

Set up with No. 5 needles 49 stitches with white zephyr for the under part of the fur, and work 53 rows of Afghan stitch. In each stitch of white work one stitch of the fur (as we explained) with chinée worsted. For the pink lining of the muff set up 41 stitches, and work in single Gobelin stitch 60 rows with No. 4 needle.

A piece of muslin with wadding is placed between the lining and muff; they are sewed together, and on the ends the muff and lining are caught together with a row of plain crochet, then a row of open crochet or holes, through which are run cords and tassels.“
