This pattern is from a section called “The Work Table” and is on page 135.

These patterns may be worked very prettily—the first for the border, the other for the centre—the ground of both being drab. Every other star in the border is gold colour, the alternate stars being blue and crimson, those parts marked white in the engraving being black. In the centre the small stars are all gold colour, the larger figures alternately crimson and blue.

A large ivory [or bone] crochet hook will be about 5mm or a US H-8. The closest modern equivalent to six thread fleecy is a DK or light worsted weight yarn. The terminology is going to be close to modern UK crochet terms but there are differences.
