  Knitted Antimacassar Pattern
This antimacassar, part of which is seen on No. 320, smaller than full size, is made of rosettes and small squares, which are knitted separately with violet and grey fleecy wool with fine knitting-needles.
The edge of the antimacassar is ornamented with a grey woollen fringe.
After having worked several parts, the stitches can, of course, be taken on the same needle, so as not to increase the number of needles.

  Antimacassar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An antimacassar is a small cloth placed over the backs or arms of chairs, or the head or cushions of a sofa, to prevent soiling of the permanent fabric.
The original antimacassar was almost invariably made of white crochet-work, very stiff, hard, and uncomfortable, but in the third quarter of the 19th century it became simpler and less inartistic, and was made of soft coloured stuffs, usually worked with a simple pattern in tinted wools or silk.
By the beginning of the twentieth century, antimacassars had become so associated in peoples’ minds with the Victorian period that the word briefly became a figurative term for it.

The fashion for oiled hair became so widespread that in desperation housewives began to cover the backs of their chairs and sofas with washable cloths to preserve the fabric coverings from being spoilt.
Around 1850, these started to be known as antimacassars.
They came to have elaborate patterns, often in matching sets for the various items of parlour furniture; they were either made at home using a variety of techniques such as crochet or tatting, or bought from shops.
