+THE LADY'S ALBUM OF FANCY WORK FOR 1850
+
+Consisting of Novel, Elegant, and Useful Designs in
+Knitting, Netting, Crochet, Braiding, and Embroidery
+with Clear and Explicit Directions for Working the Patterns
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ADDRESS
+
+Encouraged by the kind welcome which greeted their former efforts to
+provide a volume worthy the attention of the ladies of the United
+Kingdom, the Publishers of the _Lady's Album of Fancy-Work_ have issued
+a similar production for 1850. Solicitous to preserve the favourable
+consideration so flatteringly accorded, every care has been taken to
+render the _Lady's Album of fancy-Work_ for 1850 as attractive and
+useful as possible; no expense has been spared in its artistic
+illustration, letterpress, and embellishment; and it will be found an
+elegant ornament in the drawing-room as well as a useful ally at the
+work-table. The patterns and designs are of the most useful and varied
+character: specimens are given of each style of work recently invented;
+and no article either of ornament or use at present in fashion is
+omitted.
+
+The exercise of the needle has been from time immemorial a favourite
+occupation with the females of every country; and the allusions to the
+subject from cotemporary historians and poets evince that this feminine
+pursuit was regarded with approval and respect. The invention of
+embroidery is ascribed to the Phrygians; and we also learn from ancient
+authors, that the Sidonians particularly excelled in this beautiful art
+of decorative needlework; it must have also made considerable progress
+in the country soon after the Norman Conquest, from the accounts that
+are recorded of the robes embroidered in gold and silver, generally worn
+by persons of rank at that period. The Bayeux Tapestry also remains to
+us as a lasting trophy of the skill and industry of Queen Matilda and
+the ladies of her court, and is not more interesting as a historical
+record than as a specimen of the needlework of the mediæval age. The
+introduction of knitting into this country is comparatively of modern
+date; so late as the middle of the sixteenth century. The invention of
+the art is usually ascribed to the Spaniards; though the Scotch, with
+some appearance of justice, assert their claims as its originators. Like
+all inventions, knitting has undergone wonderful improvements since it
+was first simply used for stocking-making: and the value attached to
+stockings so made may be judged from the fact, that a pair were deemed a
+fitting present from one sovereign to another. A pair of knitted hose
+was amongst the gifts received by that lover of finery, Queen Elizabeth;
+but no record remains to shew if these were preserved with the three
+thousand robes which were found after her death in the wardrobe of
+England's Maiden Queen.
+
+The love for domestic occupations, which is so admirable a trait in the
+character of our countrywomen, has often been a subject of gratulation;
+and that female ingenuity and skill may continue to be employed in
+embellishing the drawing-room, rather than in directing the political
+intrigues of the _salon_, must be desired by all interested in the
+preservation of those domestic attributes which give so pleasing a charm
+to home, and secure the comfort of all around.
+
+The taste which her Majesty Queen Victoria evinces for feminine pursuits
+and occupations has naturally exercised considerable influence in
+preserving habits of industry amongst her female subjects; and to her
+Majesty's example, and that of the amiable Queen Dowager, may be
+ascribed that the labours of the English embroideress are now justly
+appreciated, and her work esteemed as in no respects inferior to the
+produce of foreign ingenuity.
+
+In expressing their thanks for the patronage extended to the _Lady's
+Album of Fancy-Work_ for 1849, the Publishers take leave to state that
+the present Volume contains designs and patterns for various articles in
+Embroidery, Braid-Work, Crochet, Knitting, Netting, Ribbon-Work,
+Scagliola, and Indian Ornamental Work; all of which are executed and
+engraved in a style of unusual superiority. Each pattern is accompanied
+with plain and explicit directions; and it is hoped that their execution
+will afford many hours of pleasurable employment to the fair and
+industrious votaress of the needle.

+EXPLANATION OF THE VARIOUS TERMS USED IN CROCHET.
+
+
+CHAIN-STITCH OPEN CROCHET.--This consists of five or any uneven number
+of loops attached by a plain stitch to every third stitch of the
+foundation, and in the succeeding rows to the centre loop of the chain
+of previous row.
+
+THREE CHAIN CROCHET.--Work a chain of three loops as in chain-stitch
+open crochet.
+
+DOUBLE CROCHET.--Work as follows: having made a chain, pass the needle
+through the first loop on the chain, draw the cotton through the loop,
+there will now be two loops on the needle, through these draw the
+cotton.
+
+SINGLE CROCHET.--Insert the needle in the loops, and draw the cotton
+through this loop and that on the needle.
+
+RIBBED CROCHET.--This is worked in a similar manner to double crochet,
+only that the under loop of the previous row is taken, and it is done in
+rows to and fro.
+
+LONG STITCH.--Twist the cotton round the needle, pass it through the
+loop, draw the cotton through the first two loops on the needle, then
+catch the cotton again and draw it through the next two loops; there
+will be one loop left on the needle.
+
+DOUBLE LONG STITCH.--This resembles long stitch, excepting that the
+cotton is twisted twice round the needle.
+
+TREBLE LONG STITCH.--Twist the cotton three times round the needle.
+
+SINGLE OPEN CROCHET.--This is a succession of long stitches, with a
+chain-stitch between each, missing one stitch of the foundation; in the
+succeeding rows the long stitch is worked between the two long stitches
+of the preceding rows.
+
+DOUBLE OPEN CROCHET.--This consists of two long stitches, then two
+chain-stitches; or it may be varied by making one long stitch, two
+chain-stitches, missing the same number of stitches in foundation as
+there are chain-stitches.
+
+TREBLE OPEN CROCHET.--Work three long stitches, then three chain,
+missing three of the foundation.
+
+VANDYKE OPEN CROCHET.--Work three long stitches into one of the
+foundation, make one chain-stitch, miss three of the foundation; repeat.
+In the next and following rows the long stitches are worked in the
+chain-stitch.

+GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR EMBROIDERY.
+
+The various elegant designs for handkerchiefs, jupons, shirts, &c. are
+worked in raised satin stitch. The material used is French
+working-cotton; numbers 100 or 120 will be found suitable for most
+purposes, but this must be regulated by the quality of the cambric.
+Handkerchiefs embroidered in colours continue to be extremely
+fashionable; the patterns in the _Lady's Album_ are of the most novel
+description, and quite suitable for this style of work. The names and
+initial letters are worked in satin-stitch, sewing over the lines.

+1. FRONT FOR LADY'S CABINET.
+
+_Materials--Black satin; six shades of crimson, five shades of yellow,
+three shades of puce, two shades of scarlet, three shades of
+yellow-greens, three shades of blue-greens, and two shades of brown
+embroidery silk, or of chenille_.
+
+
+Draw the design upon the satin, frame the work, and work in
+embroidery-stitch. The rose-leaves with the yellow-greens, the leaves of
+thistles with the blue-greens, the stems with brown, the thistle and bud
+of thistle with the shades of puce, working the centre of the former
+with the shades of scarlet.
+
+Work the rose on the right hand of thistle with the four darkest shades
+of crimson, and that on the left and the buds with the four lightest
+shades. Work the remaining rose with the yellow shades. Work the designs
+for corners in a similar manner, shading according to the taste of the
+worker.
+
+The above design is adapted for the front or door of a small rosewood or
+an inlaid ebony cabinet, suitable for a lady's boudoir or dressing-room.
+It looks well if worked upon white instead of black satin; and if the
+former is used, it is advisable to have plate-glass as a protection to
+the needlework.

+To complete your edging, work a row of double crochet on the other edge
+of the row of long stitches.
+
+_Flowers for the Collar_.--
+
+Make a chain of 6 stitches; close it by
+taking a plain stitch in the first of the chain; work in every loop of
+this small ring 2 long stitches, with a chain-stitch between each of the
+long ones. In finishing the round, make a stitch to complete the number
+of twenty-five loops; then _(a)_ work 5 plain stitches, and in the fifth
+make a chain of 7 stitches; turn, work 6 stitches in double crochet
+along the chain, and 1 plain in the loop from which the chain springs;
+repeat from _(a)_ four times. You have then three veins; work round them
+as directed for the leaves of the edging; after the second row of double
+crochet break off your cotton. According to the size of the collar, five
+or six flowers will be sufficient, if you make also the trifoliums.
+
+_Trifoliums_.--Make a chain of 18 stitches; turn, and work along the
+chain 3 plain stitches, a vein of 7 stitches; 6 plain, a vein of 8
+stitches; 6 more plain stitches, another vein of 7; 3 plain stitches,
+and break off the cotton. Begin at the first end, and work the two rows
+of long stitches exactly as directed for the leaves of the edging; at
+the end of the two following rows, which are in double crochet, round
+the leaves, instead of breaking off the cotton, work in double crochet
+from the third leaflet to the first; thus connecting the work in one
+single leaf with three divisions. Having prepared the required number of
+flowers and leaves, baste your edging on the paper pattern, so that the
+whole of the leaves rest on the paper; then work a chain rather loose,
+to connect the two ends of the collar on the neck side; turn, and work
+along that chain a row of double crochet. Baste this narrow band
+carefully half an inch from the edge of the paper; then begin a row of
+double crochet inside the collar, throwing, at even distances, a
+slanting chain from the edging to the neckband, working back each time
+along that chain in long or double crochet; repeat the same operation
+from the neckband to the edging, so as to divide the whole middle of the
+collar in a certain number of diamonds; baste the diamonds to the paper,
+place alternately in each a flower or a trifolium, and, with a
+sewing-needle and fine French embroidery cotton, connect the flowers and
+leaves to the inside edges of the diamonds in long twisted stitches,
+rows of button-hole stitches, or any kind of lace-work. After being
+washed and starched, the collar ought to be pressed on the wrong side
+with the head of a round nail warmed in the fire.

+SCAGLIOLA WORK
+
+30. A CHESS-BOARD.
+
+This description of drawing is called Scagliola work, or a Mischia
+(mixed workmanship); it was first invented by Guido Tassi, and the art
+was afterwards improved and perfected by Henry Hugford, a monk, of
+Vallambrosa. It was first used to counterfeit marbles; and the altar of
+St. Antonio, in the church of St. Nicolo, at Carpi, is still preserved
+as a monument of extraordinary skill and beauty. It consists of two
+columns, representing porphyry, and adorned with a pallium, embroidered
+as it were with lace; while it is ornamented in the margin with medals
+bearing beautiful figures.
+
+The dicromi, or yellow figures on a black ground, in imitation of the
+Etruscan vases, are now most admired in scagliola work; and as the art
+is one easy of attainment, we shall describe it. Having procured a piece
+of sycamore of the desired size and shape, you draw upon it with a
+pencil, first the centre piece, and afterwards the border; you then
+trace over the pencil marks with Indian-ink and a fine crow-quill, and
+next fill in the ground with Indian-ink and a camel's-hair brush. After
+two or three days, varnish with the best picture-varnish. If sycamore
+cannot be procured, deal will answer the purpose, covered with good
+cream-coloured drawing-paper.

+
+_Materials required will be a quarter of a yard of common bed-ticken,
+but of a good broad stripe; some fine gold thread, also some silver
+thread, and various coloured silks_.
+
+
+Measure the size round the head, and cut a piece of ticken to the
+length, and of the depth of seven inches; work on the _black_ stripes in
+herring-bone; stitch a row of gold and silver cord, alternate; and on
+the intermediate _white_ stripes work, according to fancy, different
+coloured silks, also in herring-bone stitch, only rather larger, to fill
+up the stripe. Cut a piece of ticken round, and of about 2-1/2 inches in
+diameter; work it in the same manner, and mount it on a circular piece
+of card; full the headpiece round the small crown, line it with some
+bright-coloured Persian, and trim it with a gilt band, and gilt tassel
+to match.
+
+This cap is so simple a work, that it hardly allows any one to suppose
+it will look as pretty as it certainly does.

+_Band of insertion for the Wrist_.--19 c s, unite d c round this ring
+eighteen times, which will cover about three-quarters of the ring. Turn
+the work wrong side up. 6 c s, miss 2, s c into third stitch; repeat
+this five times more. Turn 1 d c, 5 l s, 1 d c, into every space formed
+by 6 c s, d c round the remaining part of the ring six times; fasten
+off, leaving one end about three inches long. Turn on the wrong side.
+Begin on the third stitch of third scallop of last flower. 12 c s, s c
+into fifth stitch of next scallop, forming a loop over the two centre
+scallops. Turn. D c round this loop eighteen times. Turn. * 6 c s, miss
+2, s c into third stitch; repeat from * five times more. Turn. 1 d c, 5
+l s, 1 d c into every space formed by 6 c s; fasten off, leaving one end
+as in last flower. Work fifteen of these flowers, thread a fine needle
+with the ends left, and make a few stitches on the wrong side to secure
+them. The band between the two puffings is to be worked exactly the
+same; but there must be eighteen flowers instead of fifteen. Commence
+the fulness on the band for the wrist on the first scallop, at the edge,
+5 c s (working in the end of the thread), s c into the centre of next
+scallop, * 6 c s, s c into the first scallop of next flower. 5 c s, s c
+into next scallop; repeat from * to the end of the band.
+
+_2d row_. Commence on the first loop of 5 c s in last row, * 8 c s, d c
+round the next loop, 8 c s, d c round the same loop; repeat from * to
+the end of the row.--_3d row_. Commence on first loop of 8 c s in last
+row, 9 c s, d c into next loop, 9 c s, d c into next loop; repeat to the
+end of the row.--_4th row_. Commence on the same loop of 8 c s, as the
+last row was begun on 10 c s, d c round the centre of first loop in last
+row, * 9 c s, d c round the next loop; repeat from * to the end of the
+row. After the d c stitch round the last loop in this row, make 5 c s,
+and draw the end of the cotton through. _These 5 c s must be worked at
+the end of every alternate row, in order to keep the ends of the fulness
+even_. Work four more rows like the two last, making in all six rows,
+then seven rows, having 10 c s in each loop, every alternate row of
+which is begun in the same loop as the preceding row, having 12 c s in
+the first loop. Then work six more rows like the former six, having 9 c
+s in each loop. This will make nineteen rows of loops: fasten off. Work
+a fulness on the upper band of insertion in exactly the same manner, and
+gather it in at the top next the sleeve in this way: commence on the
+first loop 2 c s, take the next loop on the needle, and d c round it
+once, 2 c s, * d c round next loop once, 2 c s; repeat from * to end of
+row. In the next row, work 1 l s into every stitch of last row.
+
+To unite the fulness on the wristband to the upper band of insertion,
+turn them both on the wrong side, and hold them as if they were to be
+sewn together, the insertion being at the back. Take the first loop, and
+the centre stitch of the first scallop, on the needle, and work 1 s c to
+unite them, 3 c s, s c the next loop and centre stitch of the next
+scallop, o 4 c s, s c the next loop and centre of first scallop in next
+flounce together, 3 c s, s c next loop and next scallop, o * 4 c s, s c
+next loop and next scallop, 2 c s; take the next loop on the needle
+_without_ the scallop, and s c once round it, 2 c s, s c the next loop
+and next scallop together; repeat from * to end of row, except on the
+two last flowers, which must be worked as from o to o.
+
+_For the Edging on the Wristband_.--Commence on the first scallop of the
+insertion, * 5 c s, s c into next scallop, 6 c s, s c into next scallop;
+repeat from * to end of row.
+
+_2d row_. 10 c s, 1 l s, into first loop of last row, * 3 c s, 1 l s
+into same loop, 3 c s, 1 l s into next loop; repeat from * to end of
+row.--
+
+_3d row_. 7 c s, d c round every loop of last row.--
+
+_4th row_. 4 c s, 1 l s into every loop of last row.--
+
+_5th row_. Begin on the first loop of third row, 6 c s, 5 l s into first
+loop of last row, 4 c s, d c into next loop, * 4 c s, 5 l s into next
+loop, 4 c s, d c into next loop; repeat from *.--
+
+_6th row_. 4 d c stitches round first loop of 6 c s in last row, 8 c s,
+* miss the 5 l s, d c four times round the next loop of 4 c s, 4 d c
+round the next loop, 8 c s; repeat from *.--
+
+_7th row_. Begin on first loop of 8 in last row, 7 c s, s c _between_
+the two loops of 4 d c each, * 7 c s, s c round the centre of 8 c s in
+last row, 10 c s, d c round the same loop, 7 c s, s c between the two
+loops of 4 d c; repeat from * to end of row. This finishes the edging.
+
+D c round the ends of the puffings, taking in the ends left on finishing
+the rows. Make a chain of 15 stitches at the ends of the two bands of
+insertions, and s c into the edge for a small loop. D c round these
+twenty-four times, and sew a small pearl button on the other ends of the
+bands. The insertion may have a narrow satin ribbon run through the open
+holes, finished by a small bow at the upper part of the sleeve.

+
+_Flowers for the Border_.--The following is the mode of working this
+pattern:--Make 28 chain. Turn. Miss 17, 1 plain, 1 chain, 1 long, 2
+chain. Continue to work 1 long and 2 chain all round the flower.--
+
+_2d round_. 3 plain under every 2 chain; 4 plain in the stem. Fasten off
+for the leaf.

+3 long, 1 plain, 5 long to turn the point; 1 plain, 3 long, 1 plain
+twice; 7 plain in stem. Fasten off. The second flower, worked as the
+first, is united to it by working the eighth plain stitch of the last
+round of the flowers into a stitch the same distance from the stem of
+the first flower. To turn the corners of the collar, work a flower
+without a leaf. Continue these flowers the length of the collar.
+
+_Leaves and Flowers for the Centre_:--
+
+_First leaf_. 31 chain. Turn. Insert the needle into the nineteenth
+chain; 1 plain, 1 chain to cross the stem; 3 long into three following
+chain; 2 long in 1 chain, 4 long, 2 long in 1 chain; 3 long to turn the
+points. Then down the other side of the leaf the same. 4 plain in the
+stem; 1 chain to cross the stem.--
+
+_Second leaf_. 21 chain, and work as first leaf. When finished, work 4
+plain down the stem.--
+
+_Third leaf_. 13 chain. Turn. Miss 1, 1 plain, 7 long, 1 plain.--

+Work a chain the length of the collar.--
+
+_1st row_. Plain.--
+
+_2d row_. 1 plain, 2 long, 3 double long, 2 long, 1 plain; repeat.
+_Directions for making up the collar_.--After the leaves, flowers,
+band, and border are worked, cut the shape of the collar in pink or blue
+paper; gum a piece of holland at the back of the paper, to prevent its
+tearing; tack the border on the paper pattern, the right side downwards;
+then sew on the sprigs as in the engraving. Sew the edges of the leaves
+and flowers nicely, to prevent their turning up; then, with a
+sewing-needle and fine cotton, unite the flowers, leaves, and borders,
+by passing the needle from one part of a leaf or flower to another four
+or five times; then pass the needle under the bars formed six or eight
+times, according to the length of the bar; pass the needle to another
+part, and continue to connect the work in this manner throughout the
+collar.

+INDIAN ORNAMENTAL WORK
+
+69. SCREEN.
+
+Beautiful cabinets, work-boxes, work-tables, fire-screens, &c., may be
+painted in imitation of ebony inlaid with ivory by the following
+means:--Let your screen be made of an elegant form, but merely of common
+white wood or deal, prepared as below.
+
+
+_Composition for the Surface of Wood_.--Steep one ounce of glue in a
+pint of cold water all night; throw off the water in the morning. Take
+six ounces of finest white lead in powder, mix it by degrees in a
+mortar, with about half a pint of cold water, till it is perfectly
+smooth, then place it, along with the glue, in a clean pan. Add half a
+pint more water; set it on the fire, stirring constantly till it boils.
+Let it boil three minutes; take it off, and pour it into a stone jar,
+and continue to stir it occasionally till cold. When cold, but before it
+congeals, take a clean paint-brush, and paint your screen with the
+composition. When it is quite dry, rub it over with sand-paper, to make
+it quite smooth; then give it another coat of the white composition,
+repeating the rubbing with sand-paper as before. Repeat this same
+process five or six times, until you obtain a smooth, equal, white
+surface. When that is accomplished, dissolve the fourth of an ounce of
+isinglass in a quarter of a pint of water; when cold, but liquid, give
+the screen a coat of it with a clean brush, and do not use the
+sand-paper after it.
+
+_To Ornament the Screen_.--Lay a sheet of black tracing-paper on the
+screen, with the black side downwards; then place a pattern above it,
+with the right side uppermost; place a weight here and there, to prevent
+it slipping; then trace over the outline with a rather blunt stiletto.
+On removing the paper, you will find the outline of the pattern
+transferred to the surface of the screen. Trace over the outline,
+and shade, in lines, with a fine camel's-hair pencil dipped in Newman's
+lamp-black; fill in with the same.
+
+_Varnish_.--Place four ounces of rectified spirit of wine in a
+wide-mouthed bottle; add one ounce of gum sandarac, a quarter of an
+ounce of gum mastic, and a drachm of camphor, all in powder. Put a
+stopper in the bottle, set it near a fire, and shake it occasionally.
+When all the gums are quite dissolved, add one ounce of oil of
+turpentine; then strain through muslin into another clean, dry
+wide-mouthed bottle. Let it stand a day or two before using.
+
+_Mode of Varnishing_.--Take a large clean new varnish-brush, dip it into
+the bottle, and then cover over all your screen with it. When perfectly
+dry, give it another coat, and so on till it has had six coats; let it
+remain untouched for two days; rub it smooth with sand-paper; then give
+it two more coats of varnish, and repeat the rubbing, being careful to
+wait between each coat till the last is dry, and not to rub with
+sand-paper sooner than two days after varnishing, and never give more
+than two coats of varnish in a day--one in the morning, another at
+night. When you think it looks clear and sufficiently thick, give it
+another coat without using the sand-paper after it; let it stand four
+days; then rub it all over with pounded rottenstone, and wipe it off
+with a wet cloth; after which take a little Florence oil and
+hair-powder, and polish with your hand.

+
+_Materials--Split Berlin wool, and knitting-needles No. 20; cornucopia
+gauge_.
+
+
+_Violet Petals_.--Cast on three stitches with a bright shade of violet;
+knit and pearl in alternate rows, making a stitch at the beginning of
+every row, until you have fourteen or sixteen stitches; then knit and
+pearl six rows alternately, without increase, and continue in knitted
+and pearled rows, decreasing one stitch at the beginning of each row,
+till six or eight stitches alone remain; these cast off in the plain
+row, taking the two last as one before you turn the last stitch over.
+Two petals like these are required.
+
+_Large Yellow Petal_.--Take a bright, though rather deep, shade of
+yellow wool, split; cast on three stitches, knit and pearl in alternate
+rows, increasing one stitch before and one after the middle stitch in
+the plain row, till you have fifteen or seventeen stitches; take a
+higher shade of yellow, and work six more alternate plain and pearled
+rows, still increasing in the middle, but decreasing one stitch at the
+beginning of every row; change your wool for a deep violet, and continue
+to knit in alternate plain and pearled rows, decreasing one stitch at
+the beginning of each row, till seven stitches only remain; these cast
+off, taking the two last as one.
+
+_Two smaller Petals_.--Exactly like the large one, but increased only to
+thirteen stitches. Sew a fine wire round each petal with split wool, tie
+the five petals together with a bit of green.
+
+_Buds_.--Take eight or ten lengths of split wool, yellow and violet,
+place across a piece of wire, fold the wire, twist the ends, turn down
+the ends of wool, tie them round the wire, leaving out the length
+required for the bud (about a quarter of an inch); cover the stem with
+green wool, split; also the stem of the heartsease.
+
+_Leaves_.--Begin with a shade of green wool, split as for one of the
+yellow petals, but you have thirteen stitches; cast off three at the
+beginning of the two following rows, go on increasing again to thirteen;
+cast off three at each end, and make thus as many scallops as will look
+well--in general three or four on each side make a very good-sized leaf;
+after the last scallops, decrease one stitch at the beginning of every
+row, till the leaf comes to a point.

+72. A NEW AND ELEGANT WORK FOR SOFA PILLOWS, ANTI-MACASSARS,
+CARD-BASKETS, &c.
+
+We will describe how to make an anti-macassar:--
+
+_Take Penelope canvass, three quarters of a yard long, half a yard wide;
+a piece of crimson china ribbon; one piece of gold-colour, one of shaded
+lilac, and a rug-needle_.
+
+
+Prepare the canvass by cutting away every 2 alternate threads, and draw
+them out the whole length of the canvass; next cut away and draw them
+out with tweezers, every 2 alternate threads, the whole of the width of
+the canvass. Next thread the rug-needle with crimson ribbon, and sew
+over the first 2 threads of canvass the lengthway of the canvass; when
+at the end, pass the needle to the next 2 threads and sew them over,
+taking care to keep the ribbon flat as possible; when at the top, return
+and cover the next two threads with the same coloured ribbon. This will
+make 3 stripes. Proceed the same with the gold-colour, 3 stripes; then
+the lilac, 3 stripes; then recommence with the crimson, and continue the
+same until you have the whole length finished. Next commence to sew over
+the same from side to side, which will form a chequered pattern, and has
+a rich effect. Finish round with a ruche of satin ribbon or fringe,
+crimson colour. If desired, can be worked with slight silk.

+cords; on the right hand work 6 stitches with blue on the 1st and 2d
+cords, and on the left with green; work the centre stitches with silk.
+The opposite space is worked in a similar manner, substituting scarlet
+for peach. For a cushion it will be necessary to work 4 strips of this
+pattern; and, in making it up, a length of velvet ribbon of a similar
+width is placed between each division of work. Finish with green cord
+and tassels.

+78. A MAT FOR A FLOWER-VASE.
+
+_Material--Raworth's crochet thread No_. 40.
+
+
+_Centre Flower_.--12 c s, unite, work into this ring 5 c s, 1 l s, * 2 c
+s, 1 l s; repeat from * eleven times, finish with 2 c s, s c into third
+stitch of first, 5 c s.--
+
+_2d round_. D c into first space, * 5 c s, d c into next space; repeat
+from * into every space, finish with 5 c s, s c into first d c of the
+round.--
+
+_3d round_. 5 d c round every loop of 5 c s in last round.
+
+_The eight Leaves round this Flower_.--Commence on one of the stitches
+at the edge of this flower, 25 c s, s c back (this is for the stripe in
+the centre of leaf), * 5 c s, miss 3, d c into fourth; repeat from *
+five times, which brings it to top stitch of leaf, 6 c s, d c into same
+stitch, 5 c s, miss 3, d c into fourth six times down the other side of
+the stripe, draw out the loop on the needle a little, pass the thread
+under the leaf, 1 d c round the first loop, 5 c s, d c round the next
+loop, * 6 c s, d c round the next; repeat from * four times, which
+brings it to top loop, 7 c s into same top loop, 6 c s into five more
+loops down the other side, 5 c s, d c into last loop, pass the thread
+under the leaf, d c three times round the loop next to stripe, five
+times round next loop, six times round every loop up to the top, 2 d c,
+5 l s, 2 d c round the top loop, 6 d c round every chain of six down the
+other side, 5 d c round chain of 5, 3 d c round the last loop at bottom
+of leaf next to the stripe; fasten off. Make another leaf in the same
+manner at the opposite side of the centre flower, and one at an equal
+distance between these two; another on the other side to correspond,
+which will make four leaves, then work four more leaves between these 4,
+and the eight leaves will be finished.
+
+_For the rounds of open work proceed thus:_ Commence on the point of one
+of the leaves, work 29 c s, d c into point of next leaf; repeat this all
+round, not making the c s too tight.--
+
+_2d round_. D c into every stitch of this round.--
+
+_3d round_. 1 l s, * 3 c s, miss 2, 1 l s into third stitch; repeat from
+*.--
+
+_4th round_. D c into every stitch of last round.--
+
+_5th round_. 1 l s, * 3 c s, miss 2, 1 l s into third stitch; repeat
+from *.--
+
+_6th round_. D c into every stitch of last round.--
+
+_7th round_. 1 l s, 2 c s, miss 2, 1 l s into third; repeat from * all
+round.--
+
+_8th round_. D c into every stitch of last round. Work on the inside of
+the first round of 29 c s a ring, thus: commence on centre, c s
+_between_ the leaves, 16 c s, unite on foundation-stitch, d c
+twenty-four times round this ring; repeat these rings between every two
+leaves, making eight in all.
+
+_The Leaves on the outside of the open Rounds_.--
+
+Commence on stitch
+opposite to the point of one of the large leaves. 18 c s, 1 l s into
+sixth stitch, * 2 c s, miss 2, 1 l s into third; repeat three times more
+from *. 1 s c into foundation-stitch, then 4 d c round first loop; 1 d
+c, 2 l s, 1 d c round next three loops, 1 d c, 4 l s, 1 d c round top
+loop; 1 d c, 2 l s, 1 d c round three loops on the other side of leaf; 4
+d c round last loop. Make another leaf in the same manner, beginning at
+the same foundation-stitch. Fasten off. Then two more leaves exactly the
+same, opposite the points of all the large centre leaves. Then two more
+leaves opposite each of the d c rings inside the open rounds (which will
+be at an equal distance on each side from the others). There will now be
+thirty-two small leaves, two and two, the upper point of each leaf to be
+turned _outwards_, and to be tacked with needle and thread to the point
+of the next leaf, which it will meet easily. (Care must be taken to
+refer to the engraving for the manner in which the mat is to be
+finished, as it will greatly assist the explanations.)
+
+For the small roses between the leaves, which are made separately: 9 c
+s, unite, 5 c s, 1 long stitch into ring, * 2 c s, 1 l s; repeat from *
+seven times. 2 c s, s c into third stitch of first 5 c s.
+
+_2d round_. 1 s c round first space, 3 c s, 3 l s, into same space, * 5
+c s, miss 1 space, 4 l s into next space; repeat from * all round.
+Finish with 5 c s, s c into third stitch of 3 c s. Fasten off sixteen
+roses for the round. Place one of these roses between every pair of the
+leaves which proceed from the same foundation, and sew it at the edge to
+the third scallop of the leaves; then commence between the points of the
+leaves which were sewn together, * 24 c s, d c into centre of edge of
+small rose, 24 c s, d c between the points of the leaves; repeat from *
+all round, then 26 d c stitches _round_ every 24 chain.
+
+_Sprigs between the 24 C S_.--18 c s, unite on twelfth. D c round this
+loop twenty-two times. S c up remaining c s for stalk. Fasten off,
+leaving an end to sew the sprig on the mat. Turn wrong side up. Commence
+on fifth stitch from stalk on the _right-hand side_ of the flower, * 10
+c s, unite in same stitch. Turn again. Into this circle work 18 d c
+stitches *. Turn wrong side up. S c up to top of ring formed by 18 c s;
+repeat from * to * for another ring. Turn wrong side. S c down to fifth
+stitch from stalk. Repeat another ring, when the work will be on the
+right side. Bring the cotton to the side of this last ring nearest to
+stalk. 13 c s, s c into top of last ring. 6 c s, s c into same stitch.
+13 c s, s c into foundation close to the lower part of ring. 5 c s, s c
+into _foundation-ring,_ close to centre ring, at the top. 13 c s, s c
+into top of ring; 6 c s, s c into same stitch; 13 c s, s c into
+foundation at bottom of ring; 5 c s, s c into foundation at lower part
+of next ring; 13 c s, s c into top of ring; 6 c s, s c into same stitch;
+13 c s, s c into foundation at the other side of ring. Fasten off.
+Sixteen of these sprigs are required, and sixteen more small roses.
+Place one sprig between each of the chains of 24 d c, where they meet at
+the points of the leaves, and sew them by the thread which was left at
+the end of the stalk. Confine them to the 24 d c by the lower 13 c s.
+Place a small rose between each of these sprigs, fastening them together
+where they meet. The best way is, to cut out a circle in coloured paper,
+and (after the crochet work is completed) place the mat wrong side up
+upon it, and fasten the flowers to it and to each other, as it will then
+be quite flat and smooth.

+<h2><i>ADDRESS</i></h2> </center>
+
+<p align="justify">Encouraged by the kind welcome which greeted their former efforts to
+provide a volume worthy the attention of the ladies of the United
+Kingdom, the Publishers of the <i>Lady's Album of Fancy-Work</i> have issued
+a similar production for 1850. Solicitous to preserve the favourable
+consideration so flatteringly accorded, every care has been taken to
+render the <i>Lady's Album of fancy-Work</i> for 1850 as attractive and
+useful as possible; no expense has been spared in its artistic
+illustration, letterpress, and embellishment; and it will be found an
+elegant ornament in the drawing-room as well as a useful ally at the
+work-table. The patterns and designs are of the most useful and varied
+character: specimens are given of each style of work recently invented;
+and no article either of ornament or use at present in fashion is
+omitted.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">The exercise of the needle has been from time immemorial a favourite
+occupation with the females of every country; and the allusions to the
+subject from cotemporary historians and poets evince that this feminine
+pursuit was regarded with approval and respect. The invention of
+embroidery is ascribed to the Phrygians; and we also learn from ancient
+authors, that the Sidonians particularly excelled in this beautiful art
+of decorative needlework; it must have also made considerable progress
+in the country soon after the Norman Conquest, from the accounts that
+are recorded of the robes embroidered in gold and silver, generally worn
+by persons of rank at that period. The Bayeux Tapestry also remains to
+us as a lasting trophy of the skill and industry of Queen Matilda and
+the ladies of her court, and is not more interesting as a historical
+record than as a specimen of the needlework of the medi&aelig;val age. The
+introduction of knitting into this country is comparatively of modern
+date; so late as the middle of the sixteenth century. The invention of
+the art is usually ascribed to the Spaniards; though the Scotch, with
+some appearance of justice, assert their claims as its originators. Like
+all inventions, knitting has undergone wonderful improvements since it
+was first simply used for stocking-making: and the value attached to
+stockings so made may be judged from the fact, that a pair were deemed a
+fitting present from one sovereign to another. A pair of knitted hose
+was amongst the gifts received by that lover of finery, Queen Elizabeth;
+but no record remains to shew if these were preserved with the three
+thousand robes which were found after her death in the wardrobe of
+England's Maiden Queen.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">The love for domestic occupations, which is so admirable a trait in the
+character of our countrywomen, has often been a subject of gratulation;
+and that female ingenuity and skill may continue to be employed in
+embellishing the drawing-room, rather than in directing the political
+intrigues of the <i>salon</i>, must be desired by all interested in the
+preservation of those domestic attributes which give so pleasing a charm
+to home, and secure the comfort of all around.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">The taste which her Majesty Queen Victoria evinces for feminine pursuits
+and occupations has naturally exercised considerable influence in
+preserving habits of industry amongst her female subjects; and to her
+Majesty's example, and that of the amiable Queen Dowager, may be
+ascribed that the labours of the English embroideress are now justly
+appreciated, and her work esteemed as in no respects inferior to the
+produce of foreign ingenuity.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">In expressing their thanks for the patronage extended to the <i>Lady's
+Album of Fancy-Work</i> for 1849, the Publishers take leave to state that
+the present Volume contains designs and patterns for various articles in
+Embroidery, Braid-Work, Crochet, Knitting, Netting, Ribbon-Work,
+Scagliola, and Indian Ornamental Work; all of which are executed and
+engraved in a style of unusual superiority. Each pattern is accompanied
+with plain and explicit directions; and it is hoped that their execution
+will afford many hours of pleasurable employment to the fair and
+industrious votaress of the needle.</p>

+first of the chain; work in every loop of this small ring 2 long
+stitches, with a chain-stitch between each of the long ones. In
+finishing the round, make a stitch to complete the number of twenty-five
+loops; then <i>(a)</i> work 5 plain stitches, and in the fifth make a chain
+of 7 stitches; turn, work 6 stitches in double crochet along the chain,
+and 1 plain in the loop from which the chain springs; repeat from <i>(a)</i>
+four times. You have then three veins; work round them as directed for
+the leaves of the edging; after the second row of double crochet break
+off your cotton. According to the size of the collar, five or six
+flowers will be sufficient, if you make also the trifoliums.</p>
+
+<p align="justify"><i>Trifoliums</i>.&mdash;Make a chain of 18 stitches; turn, and work along the
+chain 3 plain stitches, a vein of 7 stitches; 6 plain, a vein of 8
+stitches; 6 more plain stitches, another vein of 7; 3 plain stitches,
+and break off the cotton. Begin at the first end, and work the two rows
+of long stitches exactly as directed for the leaves of the edging; at
+the end of the two following rows, which are in double crochet, round
+the leaves, instead of breaking off the cotton, work in double crochet
+from the third leaflet to the first; thus connecting the work in one
+single leaf with three divisions. Having prepared the required number of
+flowers and leaves, baste your edging on the paper pattern, so that the
+whole of the leaves rest on the paper; then work a chain rather loose,
+to connect the two ends of the collar on the neck side; turn, and work
+along that chain a row of double crochet. Baste this narrow band
+carefully half an inch from the edge of the paper; then begin a row of
+double crochet inside the collar, throwing, at even distances, a
+slanting chain from the edging to the neckband, working back each time
+along that chain in long or double crochet; repeat the same operation
+from the neckband to the edging, so as to divide the whole middle of the
+collar in a certain number of diamonds; baste the diamonds to the paper,
+place alternately in each a flower or a trifolium, and, with a
+sewing-needle and fine French embroidery cotton, connect the flowers and
+leaves to the inside edges of the diamonds in long twisted stitches,
+rows of button-hole stitches, or any kind of lace-work. After being
+washed and starched, the collar ought to be pressed on the wrong side
+with the head of a round nail warmed in the fire.</p>

+
+<p align="justify">This description of drawing is called Scagliola work, or a Mischia
+(mixed workmanship); it was first invented by Guido Tassi, and the art
+was afterwards improved and perfected by Henry Hugford, a monk, of
+Vallambrosa. It was first used to counterfeit marbles; and the altar of
+St. Antonio, in the church of St. Nicolo, at Carpi, is still preserved
+as a monument of extraordinary skill and beauty. It consists of two
+columns, representing porphyry, and adorned with a pallium, embroidered
+as it were with lace; while it is ornamented in the margin with medals
+bearing beautiful figures.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">The dicromi, or yellow figures on a black ground, in imitation of the
+Etruscan vases, are now most admired in scagliola work; and as the art
+is one easy of attainment, we shall describe it. Having procured a piece
+of sycamore of the desired size and shape, you draw upon it with a
+pencil, first the centre piece, and afterwards the border; you then
+trace over the pencil marks with Indian-ink and a fine crow-quill, and
+next fill in the ground with Indian-ink and a camel's-hair brush. After
+two or three days, varnish with the best picture-varnish. If sycamore
+cannot be procured, deal will answer the purpose, covered with good
+cream-coloured drawing-paper.</p>

+</center>
+<p align="justify">Beautiful cabinets, work-boxes, work-tables, fire-screens, &amp;c., may be
+painted in imitation of ebony inlaid with ivory by the following
+means:&mdash;Let your screen be made of an elegant form, but merely of common
+white wood or deal, prepared as below.</p>
+<br />
+
+<p align="justify"><i>Composition for the Surface of Wood</i>.&mdash;Steep one ounce of glue in a
+pint of cold water all night; throw off the water in the morning. Take
+six ounces of finest white lead in powder, mix it by degrees in a
+mortar, with about half a pint of cold water, till it is perfectly
+smooth, then place it, along with the glue, in a clean pan. Add half a
+pint more water; set it on the fire, stirring constantly till it boils.
+Let it boil three minutes; take it off, and pour it into a stone jar,
+and continue to stir it occasionally till cold. When cold, but before it
+congeals, take a clean paint-brush, and paint your screen with the
+composition. When it is quite dry, rub it over with sand-paper, to make
+it quite smooth; then give it another coat of the white composition,
+repeating the rubbing with sand-paper as before. Repeat this same
+process five or six times, until you obtain a smooth, equal, white
+surface. When that is accomplished, dissolve the fourth of an ounce of
+isinglass in a quarter of a pint of water; when cold, but liquid, give
+the screen a coat of it with a clean brush, and do not use the
+sand-paper after it.</p>
+
+<p align="justify"><i>To Ornament the Screen</i>.&mdash;Lay a sheet of black tracing-paper on the
+screen, with the black side downwards; then place a pattern above it,
+with the right side uppermost; place a weight here and there, to prevent
+it slipping; then trace over the outline with a rather blunt stiletto.
+On removing the paper, you will find the outline of the pattern
+transferred to the surface of the screen. Trace over the outline,
+and shade, in lines, with a fine camel's-hair pencil dipped in Newman's
+lamp-black; fill in with the same.</p>
+
+<p align="justify"><i>Varnish</i>.&mdash;Place four ounces of rectified spirit of wine in a
+wide-mouthed bottle; add one ounce of gum sandarac, a quarter of an
+ounce of gum mastic, and a drachm of camphor, all in powder. Put a
+stopper in the bottle, set it near a fire, and shake it occasionally.
+When all the gums are quite dissolved, add one ounce of oil of
+turpentine; then strain through muslin into another clean, dry
+wide-mouthed bottle. Let it stand a day or two before using.</p>
+
+<p align="justify"><i>Mode of Varnishing</i>.&mdash;Take a large clean new varnish-brush, dip it into
+the bottle, and then cover over all your screen with it. When perfectly

+
+<p align="justify"><i>Violet Petals</i>.&mdash;Cast on three stitches with a bright shade of violet;
+knit and pearl in alternate rows, making a stitch at the beginning of
+every row, until you have fourteen or sixteen stitches; then knit and
+pearl six rows alternately, without increase, and continue in knitted
+and pearled rows, decreasing one stitch at the beginning of each row,
+till six or eight stitches alone remain; these cast off in the plain
+row, taking the two last as one before you turn the last stitch over.
+Two petals like these are required.</p>
+
+<p align="justify"><i>Large Yellow Petal</i>.&mdash;Take a bright, though rather deep, shade of
+yellow wool, split; cast on three stitches, knit and pearl in alternate
+rows, increasing one stitch before and one after the middle stitch in
+the plain row, till you have fifteen or seventeen stitches; take a
+higher shade of yellow, and work six more alternate plain and pearled
+rows, still increasing in the middle, but decreasing one stitch at the
+beginning of every row; change your wool for a deep violet, and continue
+to knit in alternate plain and pearled rows, decreasing one stitch at
+the beginning of each row, till seven stitches only remain; these cast
+off, taking the two last as one.</p>
+
+<p align="justify"><i>Two smaller Petals</i>.&mdash;Exactly like the large one, but increased only to
+thirteen stitches. Sew a fine wire round each petal with split wool, tie
+the five petals together with a bit of green.</p>
+
+<p align="justify"><i>Buds</i>.&mdash;Take eight or ten lengths of split wool, yellow and violet,
+place across a piece of wire, fold the wire, twist the ends, turn down
+the ends of wool, tie them round the wire, leaving out the length
+required for the bud (about a quarter of an inch); cover the stem with
+green wool, split; also the stem of the heartsease.</p>
+
+<p align="justify"><i>Leaves</i>.&mdash;Begin with a shade of green wool, split as for one of the
+yellow petals, but you have thirteen stitches; cast off three at the
+beginning of the two following rows, go on increasing again to thirteen;
+cast off three at each end, and make thus as many scallops as will look
+well&mdash;in general three or four on each side make a very good-sized leaf;
+after the last scallops, decrease one stitch at the beginning of every
+row, till the leaf comes to a point.</p>

+THE LADY'S ALBUM OF FANCY WORK FOR 1850
+
+Consisting of Novel, Elegant, and Useful Designs in
+Knitting, Netting, Crochet, Braiding, and Embroidery
+with Clear and Explicit Directions for Working the Patterns
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ADDRESS
+
+Encouraged by the kind welcome which greeted their former efforts to
+provide a volume worthy the attention of the ladies of the United
+Kingdom, the Publishers of the _Lady's Album of Fancy-Work_ have issued
+a similar production for 1850. Solicitous to preserve the favourable
+consideration so flatteringly accorded, every care has been taken to
+render the _Lady's Album of fancy-Work_ for 1850 as attractive and
+useful as possible; no expense has been spared in its artistic
+illustration, letterpress, and embellishment; and it will be found an
+elegant ornament in the drawing-room as well as a useful ally at the
+work-table. The patterns and designs are of the most useful and varied
+character: specimens are given of each style of work recently invented;
+and no article either of ornament or use at present in fashion is
+omitted.
+
+The exercise of the needle has been from time immemorial a favourite
+occupation with the females of every country; and the allusions to the
+subject from cotemporary historians and poets evince that this feminine
+pursuit was regarded with approval and respect. The invention of
+embroidery is ascribed to the Phrygians; and we also learn from ancient
+authors, that the Sidonians particularly excelled in this beautiful art
+of decorative needlework; it must have also made considerable progress
+in the country soon after the Norman Conquest, from the accounts that
+are recorded of the robes embroidered in gold and silver, generally worn
+by persons of rank at that period. The Bayeux Tapestry also remains to
+us as a lasting trophy of the skill and industry of Queen Matilda and
+the ladies of her court, and is not more interesting as a historical
+record than as a specimen of the needlework of the mediæval age. The
+introduction of knitting into this country is comparatively of modern
+date; so late as the middle of the sixteenth century. The invention of
+the art is usually ascribed to the Spaniards; though the Scotch, with
+some appearance of justice, assert their claims as its originators. Like
+all inventions, knitting has undergone wonderful improvements since it
+was first simply used for stocking-making: and the value attached to
+stockings so made may be judged from the fact, that a pair were deemed a
+fitting present from one sovereign to another. A pair of knitted hose
+was amongst the gifts received by that lover of finery, Queen Elizabeth;
+but no record remains to shew if these were preserved with the three
+thousand robes which were found after her death in the wardrobe of
+England's Maiden Queen.
+
+The love for domestic occupations, which is so admirable a trait in the
+character of our countrywomen, has often been a subject of gratulation;
+and that female ingenuity and skill may continue to be employed in
+embellishing the drawing-room, rather than in directing the political
+intrigues of the _salon_, must be desired by all interested in the
+preservation of those domestic attributes which give so pleasing a charm
+to home, and secure the comfort of all around.
+
+The taste which her Majesty Queen Victoria evinces for feminine pursuits
+and occupations has naturally exercised considerable influence in
+preserving habits of industry amongst her female subjects; and to her
+Majesty's example, and that of the amiable Queen Dowager, may be
+ascribed that the labours of the English embroideress are now justly
+appreciated, and her work esteemed as in no respects inferior to the
+produce of foreign ingenuity.
+
+In expressing their thanks for the patronage extended to the _Lady's
+Album of Fancy-Work_ for 1849, the Publishers take leave to state that
+the present Volume contains designs and patterns for various articles in
+Embroidery, Braid-Work, Crochet, Knitting, Netting, Ribbon-Work,
+Scagliola, and Indian Ornamental Work; all of which are executed and
+engraved in a style of unusual superiority. Each pattern is accompanied
+with plain and explicit directions; and it is hoped that their execution
+will afford many hours of pleasurable employment to the fair and
+industrious votaress of the needle.

+EXPLANATION OF THE VARIOUS TERMS USED IN CROCHET.
+
+
+CHAIN-STITCH OPEN CROCHET.--This consists of five or any uneven number
+of loops attached by a plain stitch to every third stitch of the
+foundation, and in the succeeding rows to the centre loop of the chain
+of previous row.
+
+THREE CHAIN CROCHET.--Work a chain of three loops as in chain-stitch
+open crochet.
+
+DOUBLE CROCHET.--Work as follows: having made a chain, pass the needle
+through the first loop on the chain, draw the cotton through the loop,
+there will now be two loops on the needle, through these draw the
+cotton.
+
+SINGLE CROCHET.--Insert the needle in the loops, and draw the cotton
+through this loop and that on the needle.
+
+RIBBED CROCHET.--This is worked in a similar manner to double crochet,
+only that the under loop of the previous row is taken, and it is done in
+rows to and fro.
+
+LONG STITCH.--Twist the cotton round the needle, pass it through the
+loop, draw the cotton through the first two loops on the needle, then
+catch the cotton again and draw it through the next two loops; there
+will be one loop left on the needle.
+
+DOUBLE LONG STITCH.--This resembles long stitch, excepting that the
+cotton is twisted twice round the needle.
+
+TREBLE LONG STITCH.--Twist the cotton three times round the needle.
+
+SINGLE OPEN CROCHET.--This is a succession of long stitches, with a
+chain-stitch between each, missing one stitch of the foundation; in the

+GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR EMBROIDERY.
+
+The various elegant designs for handkerchiefs, jupons, shirts, &c. are
+worked in raised satin stitch. The material used is French
+working-cotton; numbers 100 or 120 will be found suitable for most
+purposes, but this must be regulated by the quality of the cambric.
+Handkerchiefs embroidered in colours continue to be extremely
+fashionable; the patterns in the _Lady's Album_ are of the most novel
+description, and quite suitable for this style of work. The names and
+initial letters are worked in satin-stitch, sewing over the lines.

+1. FRONT FOR LADY'S CABINET.
+
+_Materials--Black satin; six shades of crimson, five shades of yellow,
+three shades of puce, two shades of scarlet, three shades of
+yellow-greens, three shades of blue-greens, and two shades of brown
+embroidery silk, or of chenille_.
+
+
+Draw the design upon the satin, frame the work, and work in
+embroidery-stitch. The rose-leaves with the yellow-greens, the leaves of
+thistles with the blue-greens, the stems with brown, the thistle and bud
+of thistle with the shades of puce, working the centre of the former
+with the shades of scarlet.
+
+Work the rose on the right hand of thistle with the four darkest shades
+of crimson, and that on the left and the buds with the four lightest
+shades. Work the remaining rose with the yellow shades. Work the designs
+for corners in a similar manner, shading according to the taste of the
+worker.
+
+The above design is adapted for the front or door of a small rosewood or
+an inlaid ebony cabinet, suitable for a lady's boudoir or dressing-room.
+It looks well if worked upon white instead of black satin; and if the
+former is used, it is advisable to have plate-glass as a protection to
+the needlework.

+is also worked over a wire in the 10th round, to form the bottom of
+basket. Wrap four pieces of wire, the height of the basket, with green
+wool, and attach to the inside at regular distances. Prepare a piece of
+wire, in like manner, for the handle. Work the handle as follows:
+
+With shaded green make a chain the length required.--
+
+_2d row (with amber)_. Close double crochet.--
+
+_3d row (with green)_. Close double crochet; sew this to the wire, which
+must be placed in the under side.
+
+Prepare the flowers and leaves which ornament the edge of the basket in
+the following manner:
+
+_Geranium_.--With geranium-coloured wool make a chain of five stitches,
+unite, and work a round in double crochet, increasing in every stitch;
+work a round without increasing, then work 1 single crochet, 2 chain, 3
+long, 2 chain, 1 single crochet, in one stitch, miss 1, and repeat in
+every alternate stitch.
+
+_For the Cup of the Flower_.--With green make a chain of five stitches,

+stamens with amber wool, and sew the stamens and flower to the cup.
+
+_For Geranium-bud_.--With geranium-colour make a chain of three
+stitches, unite, increase in the second round by working two in each
+alternate stitch; work 2 rounds without increasing; then work two rounds
+decreasing in every stitch. With green make a chain of four stitches,
+unite, and work 1 single, 3 long, 1 single; repeat three times, and draw
+the bud through this, leaving a piece for the stem, which must be
+wrapped with green wool. _Forget-me-not_.--With blue make a chain of
+five, unite, and into this ring work 1 single, 2 long, 1 single; repeat
+four times.
+
+_For the Cup of the Flower_.--With green make a chain of four stitches,
+work 1 single, 1 long in every loop; make stamens with pieces of amber
+wool; place the flower within the cup, draw the stamens through, and sew
+at the end, leaving a piece of wool for the stem, which is wrapped with
+green.
+
+_For the Leaves_.--With green make a chain of 18 stitches; work down one
+side of these for 11 stitches in single crochet; turn to the other side,
+work 1 single, 2 long, in the first two stitches; (_a_) 1 single, 1

+chain to the fifteenth stitch; from this work a chain of 11 stitches,
+and work a leaf from the directions already given. Work a third leaf on
+the reverse side of stem. Seven geraniums and three buds will be
+required, and fifteen forget-me-nots and seven sprays of leaves will
+also be needed.
+
+Arrange the flowers and leaves on the basket as seen in illustration,

+
+_Materials--Raworth's crochet-thread No. 70, and a middle-sized
+tambour-needle_.
+
+
+Cut out in paper the shape of the collar you wish to make, but half an
+inch larger all round.
+
+_Edging for the Collar_.--Make a chain about one-third longer than the
+outside of your paper pattern, turn and work the first row along the
+chain in long crochet, making a chain stitch after each long one, and
+missing the corresponding loop of the chain.--
+
+_2d row_. Turn again, keeping the work on the right side; make 3 chain
+stitches, and along the opposite edge of the long stitches, (_a_), work
+10 plain stitches, and in the tenth a chain of 9 stitches; turn, and
+along the vein just made work 8 stitches in double crochet, and 1 plain
+stitch in the loop from which the chain springs; repeat from (_a_)
+throughout the row. Break off your cotton, and begin the next row and
+all the following at the other end.--
+
+_3d row. (b_) Work 9 plain stitches, then work round the vein in long
+stitches, making an additional stitch at the top; repeat from (_b_).--
+
+_4th row. (c_) Work 8 plain stitches, then round the leaf in long
+stitches, making 2 additional stitches in the top loop; repeat from
+(_c_).--
+
+_5th row. (d_) Work 7 plain stitches, then, in double crochet, making
+round the leaf an additional stitch in the top loop; repeat from
+_(d)_.--
+
+_6th row. (e)_ Work 6 plain stitches, and round the leaf in double
+crochet, without making a stitch at the top; repeat from _(e)_.
+
+To complete your edging, work a row of double crochet on the other edge
+of the row of long stitches.
+
+_Flowers for the Collar_.--
+
+Make a chain of 6 stitches; close it by
+taking a plain stitch in the first of the chain; work in every loop of
+this small ring 2 long stitches, with a chain-stitch between each of the
+long ones. In finishing the round, make a stitch to complete the number
+of twenty-five loops; then _(a)_ work 5 plain stitches, and in the fifth
+make a chain of 7 stitches; turn, work 6 stitches in double crochet
+along the chain, and 1 plain in the loop from which the chain springs;
+repeat from _(a)_ four times. You have then three veins; work round them
+as directed for the leaves of the edging; after the second row of double
+crochet break off your cotton. According to the size of the collar, five
+or six flowers will be sufficient, if you make also the trifoliums.
+
+_Trifoliums_.--Make a chain of 18 stitches; turn, and work along the
+chain 3 plain stitches, a vein of 7 stitches; 6 plain, a vein of 8
+stitches; 6 more plain stitches, another vein of 7; 3 plain stitches,
+and break off the cotton. Begin at the first end, and work the two rows
+of long stitches exactly as directed for the leaves of the edging; at
+the end of the two following rows, which are in double crochet, round
+the leaves, instead of breaking off the cotton, work in double crochet
+from the third leaflet to the first; thus connecting the work in one
+single leaf with three divisions. Having prepared the required number of
+flowers and leaves, baste your edging on the paper pattern, so that the
+whole of the leaves rest on the paper; then work a chain rather loose,
+to connect the two ends of the collar on the neck side; turn, and work
+along that chain a row of double crochet. Baste this narrow band
+carefully half an inch from the edge of the paper; then begin a row of
+double crochet inside the collar, throwing, at even distances, a
+slanting chain from the edging to the neckband, working back each time
+along that chain in long or double crochet; repeat the same operation
+from the neckband to the edging, so as to divide the whole middle of the
+collar in a certain number of diamonds; baste the diamonds to the paper,
+place alternately in each a flower or a trifolium, and, with a
+sewing-needle and fine French embroidery cotton, connect the flowers and
+leaves to the inside edges of the diamonds in long twisted stitches,
+rows of button-hole stitches, or any kind of lace-work. After being
+washed and starched, the collar ought to be pressed on the wrong side
+with the head of a round nail warmed in the fire.

+SCAGLIOLA WORK
+
+30. A CHESS-BOARD.
+
+This description of drawing is called Scagliola work, or a Mischia
+(mixed workmanship); it was first invented by Guido Tassi, and the art
+was afterwards improved and perfected by Henry Hugford, a monk, of
+Vallambrosa. It was first used to counterfeit marbles; and the altar of
+St. Antonio, in the church of St. Nicolo, at Carpi, is still preserved
+as a monument of extraordinary skill and beauty. It consists of two
+columns, representing porphyry, and adorned with a pallium, embroidered
+as it were with lace; while it is ornamented in the margin with medals
+bearing beautiful figures.
+
+The dicromi, or yellow figures on a black ground, in imitation of the
+Etruscan vases, are now most admired in scagliola work; and as the art
+is one easy of attainment, we shall describe it. Having procured a piece
+of sycamore of the desired size and shape, you draw upon it with a
+pencil, first the centre piece, and afterwards the border; you then
+trace over the pencil marks with Indian-ink and a fine crow-quill, and
+next fill in the ground with Indian-ink and a camel's-hair brush. After
+two or three days, varnish with the best picture-varnish. If sycamore
+cannot be procured, deal will answer the purpose, covered with good
+cream-coloured drawing-paper.

+_Band of insertion for the Wrist_.--19 c s, unite d c round this ring
+eighteen times, which will cover about three-quarters of the ring. Turn
+the work wrong side up. 6 c s, miss 2, s c into third stitch; repeat
+this five times more. Turn 1 d c, 5 l s, 1 d c, into every space formed
+by 6 c s, d c round the remaining part of the ring six times; fasten
+off, leaving one end about three inches long. Turn on the wrong side.
+Begin on the third stitch of third scallop of last flower. 12 c s, s c
+into fifth stitch of next scallop, forming a loop over the two centre
+scallops. Turn. D c round this loop eighteen times. Turn. * 6 c s, miss
+2, s c into third stitch; repeat from * five times more. Turn. 1 d c, 5
+l s, 1 d c into every space formed by 6 c s; fasten off, leaving one end
+as in last flower. Work fifteen of these flowers, thread a fine needle
+with the ends left, and make a few stitches on the wrong side to secure
+them. The band between the two puffings is to be worked exactly the
+same; but there must be eighteen flowers instead of fifteen. Commence
+the fulness on the band for the wrist on the first scallop, at the edge,
+5 c s (working in the end of the thread), s c into the centre of next
+scallop, * 6 c s, s c into the first scallop of next flower. 5 c s, s c
+into next scallop; repeat from * to the end of the band.

+last row was begun on 10 c s, d c round the centre of first loop in last
+row, * 9 c s, d c round the next loop; repeat from * to the end of the
+row. After the d c stitch round the last loop in this row, make 5 c s,
+and draw the end of the cotton through. _These 5 c s must be worked at
+the end of every alternate row, in order to keep the ends of the fulness
+even_. Work four more rows like the two last, making in all six rows,
+then seven rows, having 10 c s in each loop, every alternate row of
+which is begun in the same loop as the preceding row, having 12 c s in
+the first loop. Then work six more rows like the former six, having 9 c
+s in each loop. This will make nineteen rows of loops: fasten off. Work
+a fulness on the upper band of insertion in exactly the same manner, and
+gather it in at the top next the sleeve in this way: commence on the
+first loop 2 c s, take the next loop on the needle, and d c round it
+once, 2 c s, * d c round next loop once, 2 c s; repeat from * to end of
+row. In the next row, work 1 l s into every stitch of last row.
+
+To unite the fulness on the wristband to the upper band of insertion,
+turn them both on the wrong side, and hold them as if they were to be
+sewn together, the insertion being at the back. Take the first loop, and
+the centre stitch of the first scallop, on the needle, and work 1 s c to
+unite them, 3 c s, s c the next loop and centre stitch of the next
+scallop, o 4 c s, s c the next loop and centre of first scallop in next
+flounce together, 3 c s, s c next loop and next scallop, o * 4 c s, s c
+next loop and next scallop, 2 c s; take the next loop on the needle
+_without_ the scallop, and s c once round it, 2 c s, s c the next loop
+and next scallop together; repeat from * to end of row, except on the
+two last flowers, which must be worked as from o to o.
+
+_For the Edging on the Wristband_.--Commence on the first scallop of the
+insertion, * 5 c s, s c into next scallop, 6 c s, s c into next scallop;
+repeat from * to end of row.
+
+_2d row_. 10 c s, 1 l s, into first loop of last row, * 3 c s, 1 l s
+into same loop, 3 c s, 1 l s into next loop; repeat from * to end of
+row.--
+
+_3d row_. 7 c s, d c round every loop of last row.--
+
+_4th row_. 4 c s, 1 l s into every loop of last row.--
+
+_5th row_. Begin on the first loop of third row, 6 c s, 5 l s into first
+loop of last row, 4 c s, d c into next loop, * 4 c s, 5 l s into next
+loop, 4 c s, d c into next loop; repeat from *.--
+
+_6th row_. 4 d c stitches round first loop of 6 c s in last row, 8 c s,
+* miss the 5 l s, d c four times round the next loop of 4 c s, 4 d c
+round the next loop, 8 c s; repeat from *.--
+
+_7th row_. Begin on first loop of 8 in last row, 7 c s, s c _between_
+the two loops of 4 d c each, * 7 c s, s c round the centre of 8 c s in
+last row, 10 c s, d c round the same loop, 7 c s, s c between the two
+loops of 4 d c; repeat from * to end of row. This finishes the edging.
+
+D c round the ends of the puffings, taking in the ends left on finishing
+the rows. Make a chain of 15 stitches at the ends of the two bands of
+insertions, and s c into the edge for a small loop. D c round these
+twenty-four times, and sew a small pearl button on the other ends of the
+bands. The insertion may have a narrow satin ribbon run through the open
+holes, finished by a small bow at the upper part of the sleeve.

+_Flowers for the Border_.--The following is the mode of working this
+pattern:--Make 28 chain. Turn. Miss 17, 1 plain, 1 chain, 1 long, 2
+chain. Continue to work 1 long and 2 chain all round the flower.--
+
+_2d round_. 3 plain under every 2 chain; 4 plain in the stem. Fasten off
+for the leaf.
+
+12 chain. Turn. Miss 2; 7 long stitches in 7 following chain, 1 plain; 1
+chain to cross the stem; 3 long, 1 plain in the same chain as last long;
+3 long, 1 plain, 5 long to turn the point; 1 plain, 3 long, 1 plain
+twice; 7 plain in stem. Fasten off. The second flower, worked as the
+first, is united to it by working the eighth plain stitch of the last
+round of the flowers into a stitch the same distance from the stem of
+the first flower. To turn the corners of the collar, work a flower
+without a leaf. Continue these flowers the length of the collar.
+
+_Leaves and Flowers for the Centre_:--
+
+_First leaf_. 31 chain. Turn. Insert the needle into the nineteenth
+chain; 1 plain, 1 chain to cross the stem; 3 long into three following
+chain; 2 long in 1 chain, 4 long, 2 long in 1 chain; 3 long to turn the
+points. Then down the other side of the leaf the same. 4 plain in the
+stem; 1 chain to cross the stem.--
+
+_Second leaf_. 21 chain, and work as first leaf. When finished, work 4
+plain down the stem.--
+
+_Third leaf_. 13 chain. Turn. Miss 1, 1 plain, 7 long, 1 plain.--
+
+_The flower_. 17 chain. Turn. Insert the needle in the tenth chain to
+form a loop; work 15 plain stitches in the loop.--
+
+_1st round_. 6 chain, miss 2, 1 plain five times.--
+
+_2d round_. 7 plain stitches in every 6 chain.--
+
+_3d round_. 3 chain, miss 1, 1 plain; repeat. 17 plain in the stem.
+Fasten off for the band.
+
+Work a chain the length of the collar.--
+
+_1st row_. Plain.--
+
+_2d row_. 1 plain, 2 long, 3 double long, 2 long, 1 plain; repeat.
+_Directions for making up the collar_.--After the leaves, flowers,
+band, and border are worked, cut the shape of the collar in pink or blue
+paper; gum a piece of holland at the back of the paper, to prevent its
+tearing; tack the border on the paper pattern, the right side downwards;
+then sew on the sprigs as in the engraving. Sew the edges of the leaves
+and flowers nicely, to prevent their turning up; then, with a
+sewing-needle and fine cotton, unite the flowers, leaves, and borders,
+by passing the needle from one part of a leaf or flower to another four
+or five times; then pass the needle under the bars formed six or eight
+times, according to the length of the bar; pass the needle to another
+part, and continue to connect the work in this manner throughout the
+collar.

+
+69. SCREEN.
+
+Beautiful cabinets, work-boxes, work-tables, fire-screens, &c., may be
+painted in imitation of ebony inlaid with ivory by the following
+means:--Let your screen be made of an elegant form, but merely of common
+white wood or deal, prepared as below.
+
+
+_Composition for the Surface of Wood_.--Steep one ounce of glue in a
+pint of cold water all night; throw off the water in the morning. Take
+six ounces of finest white lead in powder, mix it by degrees in a
+mortar, with about half a pint of cold water, till it is perfectly
+smooth, then place it, along with the glue, in a clean pan. Add half a
+pint more water; set it on the fire, stirring constantly till it boils.
+Let it boil three minutes; take it off, and pour it into a stone jar,
+and continue to stir it occasionally till cold. When cold, but before it
+congeals, take a clean paint-brush, and paint your screen with the
+composition. When it is quite dry, rub it over with sand-paper, to make
+it quite smooth; then give it another coat of the white composition,
+repeating the rubbing with sand-paper as before. Repeat this same
+process five or six times, until you obtain a smooth, equal, white
+surface. When that is accomplished, dissolve the fourth of an ounce of
+isinglass in a quarter of a pint of water; when cold, but liquid, give
+the screen a coat of it with a clean brush, and do not use the
+sand-paper after it.
+
+_To Ornament the Screen_.--Lay a sheet of black tracing-paper on the
+screen, with the black side downwards; then place a pattern above it,
+with the right side uppermost; place a weight here and there, to prevent
+it slipping; then trace over the outline with a rather blunt stiletto.
+On removing the paper, you will find the outline of the pattern
+transferred to the surface of the screen. Trace over the outline,
+and shade, in lines, with a fine camel's-hair pencil dipped in Newman's
+lamp-black; fill in with the same.
+
+_Varnish_.--Place four ounces of rectified spirit of wine in a
+wide-mouthed bottle; add one ounce of gum sandarac, a quarter of an
+ounce of gum mastic, and a drachm of camphor, all in powder. Put a
+stopper in the bottle, set it near a fire, and shake it occasionally.
+When all the gums are quite dissolved, add one ounce of oil of
+turpentine; then strain through muslin into another clean, dry
+wide-mouthed bottle. Let it stand a day or two before using.
+
+_Mode of Varnishing_.--Take a large clean new varnish-brush, dip it into
+the bottle, and then cover over all your screen with it. When perfectly
+dry, give it another coat, and so on till it has had six coats; let it
+remain untouched for two days; rub it smooth with sand-paper; then give
+it two more coats of varnish, and repeat the rubbing, being careful to
+wait between each coat till the last is dry, and not to rub with
+sand-paper sooner than two days after varnishing, and never give more
+than two coats of varnish in a day--one in the morning, another at
+night. When you think it looks clear and sufficiently thick, give it
+another coat without using the sand-paper after it; let it stand four
+days; then rub it all over with pounded rottenstone, and wipe it off
+with a wet cloth; after which take a little Florence oil and
+hair-powder, and polish with your hand.

+
+_Materials--Split Berlin wool, and knitting-needles No. 20; cornucopia
+gauge_.
+
+
+_Violet Petals_.--Cast on three stitches with a bright shade of violet;
+knit and pearl in alternate rows, making a stitch at the beginning of
+every row, until you have fourteen or sixteen stitches; then knit and
+pearl six rows alternately, without increase, and continue in knitted
+and pearled rows, decreasing one stitch at the beginning of each row,
+till six or eight stitches alone remain; these cast off in the plain
+row, taking the two last as one before you turn the last stitch over.
+Two petals like these are required.
+
+_Large Yellow Petal_.--Take a bright, though rather deep, shade of
+yellow wool, split; cast on three stitches, knit and pearl in alternate
+rows, increasing one stitch before and one after the middle stitch in
+the plain row, till you have fifteen or seventeen stitches; take a
+higher shade of yellow, and work six more alternate plain and pearled
+rows, still increasing in the middle, but decreasing one stitch at the
+beginning of every row; change your wool for a deep violet, and continue
+to knit in alternate plain and pearled rows, decreasing one stitch at
+the beginning of each row, till seven stitches only remain; these cast
+off, taking the two last as one.
+
+_Two smaller Petals_.--Exactly like the large one, but increased only to
+thirteen stitches. Sew a fine wire round each petal with split wool, tie
+the five petals together with a bit of green.
+
+_Buds_.--Take eight or ten lengths of split wool, yellow and violet,
+place across a piece of wire, fold the wire, twist the ends, turn down
+the ends of wool, tie them round the wire, leaving out the length
+required for the bud (about a quarter of an inch); cover the stem with
+green wool, split; also the stem of the heartsease.
+
+_Leaves_.--Begin with a shade of green wool, split as for one of the
+yellow petals, but you have thirteen stitches; cast off three at the
+beginning of the two following rows, go on increasing again to thirteen;
+cast off three at each end, and make thus as many scallops as will look
+well--in general three or four on each side make a very good-sized leaf;
+after the last scallops, decrease one stitch at the beginning of every
+row, till the leaf comes to a point.

+RIBBON WORK
+
+72. A NEW AND ELEGANT WORK FOR SOFA PILLOWS, ANTI-MACASSARS,
+CARD-BASKETS, &c.
+
+We will describe how to make an anti-macassar:--
+
+_Take Penelope canvass, three quarters of a yard long, half a yard wide;
+a piece of crimson china ribbon; one piece of gold-colour, one of shaded
+lilac, and a rug-needle_.
+
+
+Prepare the canvass by cutting away every 2 alternate threads, and draw
+them out the whole length of the canvass; next cut away and draw them
+out with tweezers, every 2 alternate threads, the whole of the width of
+the canvass. Next thread the rug-needle with crimson ribbon, and sew
+over the first 2 threads of canvass the lengthway of the canvass; when
+at the end, pass the needle to the next 2 threads and sew them over,
+taking care to keep the ribbon flat as possible; when at the top, return
+and cover the next two threads with the same coloured ribbon. This will
+make 3 stripes. Proceed the same with the gold-colour, 3 stripes; then
+the lilac, 3 stripes; then recommence with the crimson, and continue the
+same until you have the whole length finished. Next commence to sew over
+the same from side to side, which will form a chequered pattern, and has
+a rich effect. Finish round with a ruche of satin ribbon or fringe,
+crimson colour. If desired, can be worked with slight silk.

+
+73. LADY'S SILK MITTEN.
+
+_Materials_--10 _pieces of fine black crochet silk_; 2 _bundles of No_.
+6 _steel beads; Penelope crochet No_. 3.
+
+
+Make a chain of 84 stitches; work 1 row in plain-stitch crochet.--
+
+_2d row_. 2 edge-stitches, 1 bead-stitch, 1 plain to the end of row.--
+
+_3d row_. Plain.--
+
+_4th row_. Same as 2d row.--
+
+_5th, 6th, and 7th rows_. Plain.--
+
+_8th row_. 4 plain, 4 bead to the end of row.--
+
+_9th, 10th, and 11th rows_. As 8th row.--
+
+_13th, 14th, and 15th rows_. Plain.--
+
+_16th row_. 1 plain-stitch, 1 bead-stitch to the end of row.--
+
+_17th row_. Plain.
+
+This completes the band for the arm, which must be worked on one side,
+detaching the silk at the end of each row. Work 4 rows in chain-stitch
+open crochet, making 7 loops in each chain, and missing 4 stitches in
+working the first row, join and work in rounds; work _2_ rounds, then
+divide the mit in half, and leave a space for the thumb; the silk must
+be detached at the end of the row. Work to the centre of the back of
+hand, make 3 chain-stitches, pass down a bead in making the next 3
+chain-stitches, crochet to the centre stitch of chain of last row; then
+work 3 stitches, passing down a bead at each stitch, then _3_
+chain-stitches; work to the end of row. Work 6 rows, increasing the
+number of bead-stitches by commencing at the preceding chain-stitch;
+then work 6 rows, decreasing as seen in illustration; the last 3 of
+these must be worked in rounds instead of rows; work _3_ rounds in
+chain-stitches of 7 as before, then a round of chain-loops in each
+chain. Work one-half plain for the inner part of the hand, then 1 bead,
+1 plain. Next round plain. Work 3 rows thus on the back of the hand; 3
+bead-stitches, 3 plain stitches. Next round plain; then 1 bead-stitch, 1
+plain as before, and finish with a plain round. Now work the thumb as
+follows:--Work a chain of 7, missing every third stitch; repeat three
+times, then work 5 rounds, decreasing in each round by passing the loop
+through the centre stitches of two of the chains; work 3 rounds without
+decreasing, and finish with 3 rounds of close double crochet, making
+every alternate stitch of the centre round a bead-stitch. Work a loop on
+the band, and fasten with a button.

+
+_Materials--Canvass No. 40; scarlet, black, and white Berlin wool;
+fourth shade of blue, fourth ditto of green, fourth ditto of peach
+Berlin wool; amber floss silk, six skeins of each of the wools, and a
+similar quantity of silk will be required; also a piece of fine
+piping-cord, and emerald-green velvet ribbon_.
+
+
+Cut the canvass into strips 3 inches in width, and the length required;
+sew 14 lengths of cord upon the canvass, leaving 2 threads between each
+cord; the cord will cover a space of 2 threads. Leave a margin 18
+threads from this, and with black work 6 stitches over the 7th and 8th
+cords opposite each other; with blue work 6 stitches on the same cords
+on the right side, and with green 6 on the left; with peach work 6
+stitches on the 9th and 10th cords, above the stitches of black; and
+with scarlet 6 stitches on the 6th and 7th cords, underneath the black.
+There will now be 60 stitches worked. With white work 6 stitches on a
+line with each of the preceding stitches, and on the 2 cords above the
+stitches of peach and below the scarlet; with amber silk work 6 stitches
+in the same manner. This completes the first diamond. The pattern is
+repeated to the end of row. The spaces between the diamonds are worked
+as follows: With black work 6 stitches on a line with each stitch of
+amber; with peach work the stitches between the black on the 3d and 4th
+cords; on the right hand work 6 stitches with blue on the 1st and 2d
+cords, and on the left with green; work the centre stitches with silk.
+The opposite space is worked in a similar manner, substituting scarlet
+for peach. For a cushion it will be necessary to work 4 strips of this
+pattern; and, in making it up, a length of velvet ribbon of a similar
+width is placed between each division of work. Finish with green cord
+and tassels.

+
+_Material--Raworth's crochet thread No_. 40.
+
+
+_Centre Flower_.--12 c s, unite, work into this ring 5 c s, 1 l s, * 2 c
+s, 1 l s; repeat from * eleven times, finish with 2 c s, s c into third
+stitch of first, 5 c s.--
+
+_2d round_. D c into first space, * 5 c s, d c into next space; repeat
+from * into every space, finish with 5 c s, s c into first d c of the
+round.--
+
+_3d round_. 5 d c round every loop of 5 c s in last round.
+
+_The eight Leaves round this Flower_.--Commence on one of the stitches
+at the edge of this flower, 25 c s, s c back (this is for the stripe in
+the centre of leaf), * 5 c s, miss 3, d c into fourth; repeat from *
+five times, which brings it to top stitch of leaf, 6 c s, d c into same
+stitch, 5 c s, miss 3, d c into fourth six times down the other side of
+the stripe, draw out the loop on the needle a little, pass the thread
+under the leaf, 1 d c round the first loop, 5 c s, d c round the next
+loop, * 6 c s, d c round the next; repeat from * four times, which
+brings it to top loop, 7 c s into same top loop, 6 c s into five more
+loops down the other side, 5 c s, d c into last loop, pass the thread
+under the leaf, d c three times round the loop next to stripe, five
+times round next loop, six times round every loop up to the top, 2 d c,
+5 l s, 2 d c round the top loop, 6 d c round every chain of six down the
+other side, 5 d c round chain of 5, 3 d c round the last loop at bottom
+of leaf next to the stripe; fasten off. Make another leaf in the same
+manner at the opposite side of the centre flower, and one at an equal
+distance between these two; another on the other side to correspond,
+which will make four leaves, then work four more leaves between these 4,
+and the eight leaves will be finished.
+
+_For the rounds of open work proceed thus:_ Commence on the point of one
+of the leaves, work 29 c s, d c into point of next leaf; repeat this all
+round, not making the c s too tight.--
+
+_2d round_. D c into every stitch of this round.--
+
+_3d round_. 1 l s, * 3 c s, miss 2, 1 l s into third stitch; repeat from
+*.--
+
+_4th round_. D c into every stitch of last round.--
+
+_5th round_. 1 l s, * 3 c s, miss 2, 1 l s into third stitch; repeat
+from *.--
+
+_6th round_. D c into every stitch of last round.--
+
+_7th round_. 1 l s, 2 c s, miss 2, 1 l s into third; repeat from * all
+round.--
+
+_8th round_. D c into every stitch of last round. Work on the inside of
+the first round of 29 c s a ring, thus: commence on centre, c s
+_between_ the leaves, 16 c s, unite on foundation-stitch, d c
+twenty-four times round this ring; repeat these rings between every two
+leaves, making eight in all.
+
+_The Leaves on the outside of the open Rounds_.--
+
+Commence on stitch
+opposite to the point of one of the large leaves. 18 c s, 1 l s into
+sixth stitch, * 2 c s, miss 2, 1 l s into third; repeat three times more
+from *. 1 s c into foundation-stitch, then 4 d c round first loop; 1 d
+c, 2 l s, 1 d c round next three loops, 1 d c, 4 l s, 1 d c round top
+loop; 1 d c, 2 l s, 1 d c round three loops on the other side of leaf; 4
+d c round last loop. Make another leaf in the same manner, beginning at
+the same foundation-stitch. Fasten off. Then two more leaves exactly the
+same, opposite the points of all the large centre leaves. Then two more
+leaves opposite each of the d c rings inside the open rounds (which will
+be at an equal distance on each side from the others). There will now be
+thirty-two small leaves, two and two, the upper point of each leaf to be
+turned _outwards_, and to be tacked with needle and thread to the point
+of the next leaf, which it will meet easily. (Care must be taken to
+refer to the engraving for the manner in which the mat is to be
+finished, as it will greatly assist the explanations.)
+
+For the small roses between the leaves, which are made separately: 9 c
+s, unite, 5 c s, 1 long stitch into ring, * 2 c s, 1 l s; repeat from *
+seven times. 2 c s, s c into third stitch of first 5 c s.
+
+_2d round_. 1 s c round first space, 3 c s, 3 l s, into same space, * 5
+c s, miss 1 space, 4 l s into next space; repeat from * all round.
+Finish with 5 c s, s c into third stitch of 3 c s. Fasten off sixteen
+roses for the round. Place one of these roses between every pair of the
+leaves which proceed from the same foundation, and sew it at the edge to
+the third scallop of the leaves; then commence between the points of the
+leaves which were sewn together, * 24 c s, d c into centre of edge of
+small rose, 24 c s, d c between the points of the leaves; repeat from *
+all round, then 26 d c stitches _round_ every 24 chain.
+
+_Sprigs between the 24 C S_.--18 c s, unite on twelfth. D c round this
+loop twenty-two times. S c up remaining c s for stalk. Fasten off,
+leaving an end to sew the sprig on the mat. Turn wrong side up. Commence
+on fifth stitch from stalk on the _right-hand side_ of the flower, * 10
+c s, unite in same stitch. Turn again. Into this circle work 18 d c
+stitches *. Turn wrong side up. S c up to top of ring formed by 18 c s;
+repeat from * to * for another ring. Turn wrong side. S c down to fifth
+stitch from stalk. Repeat another ring, when the work will be on the
+right side. Bring the cotton to the side of this last ring nearest to
+stalk. 13 c s, s c into top of last ring. 6 c s, s c into same stitch.
+13 c s, s c into foundation close to the lower part of ring. 5 c s, s c
+into _foundation-ring,_ close to centre ring, at the top. 13 c s, s c
+into top of ring; 6 c s, s c into same stitch; 13 c s, s c into
+foundation at bottom of ring; 5 c s, s c into foundation at lower part
+of next ring; 13 c s, s c into top of ring; 6 c s, s c into same stitch;
+13 c s, s c into foundation at the other side of ring. Fasten off.
+Sixteen of these sprigs are required, and sixteen more small roses.
+Place one sprig between each of the chains of 24 d c, where they meet at
+the points of the leaves, and sew them by the thread which was left at
+the end of the stalk. Confine them to the 24 d c by the lower 13 c s.
+Place a small rose between each of these sprigs, fastening them together
+where they meet. The best way is, to cut out a circle in coloured paper,
+and (after the crochet work is completed) place the mat wrong side up
+upon it, and fasten the flowers to it and to each other, as it will then
+be quite flat and smooth.

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE

+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH

+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+<h2><i>ADDRESS</i></h2> </center>
+
+<p align="justify">Encouraged by the kind welcome which greeted their former efforts to
+provide a volume worthy the attention of the ladies of the United
+Kingdom, the Publishers of the <i>Lady's Album of Fancy-Work</i> have issued
+a similar production for 1850. Solicitous to preserve the favourable
+consideration so flatteringly accorded, every care has been taken to
+render the <i>Lady's Album of fancy-Work</i> for 1850 as attractive and
+useful as possible; no expense has been spared in its artistic
+illustration, letterpress, and embellishment; and it will be found an
+elegant ornament in the drawing-room as well as a useful ally at the
+work-table. The patterns and designs are of the most useful and varied
+character: specimens are given of each style of work recently invented;
+and no article either of ornament or use at present in fashion is
+omitted.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">The exercise of the needle has been from time immemorial a favourite
+occupation with the females of every country; and the allusions to the
+subject from cotemporary historians and poets evince that this feminine
+pursuit was regarded with approval and respect. The invention of
+embroidery is ascribed to the Phrygians; and we also learn from ancient
+authors, that the Sidonians particularly excelled in this beautiful art
+of decorative needlework; it must have also made considerable progress
+in the country soon after the Norman Conquest, from the accounts that
+are recorded of the robes embroidered in gold and silver, generally worn
+by persons of rank at that period. The Bayeux Tapestry also remains to
+us as a lasting trophy of the skill and industry of Queen Matilda and
+the ladies of her court, and is not more interesting as a historical
+record than as a specimen of the needlework of the medi&aelig;val age. The
+introduction of knitting into this country is comparatively of modern
+date; so late as the middle of the sixteenth century. The invention of
+the art is usually ascribed to the Spaniards; though the Scotch, with
+some appearance of justice, assert their claims as its originators. Like
+all inventions, knitting has undergone wonderful improvements since it
+was first simply used for stocking-making: and the value attached to
+stockings so made may be judged from the fact, that a pair were deemed a
+fitting present from one sovereign to another. A pair of knitted hose
+was amongst the gifts received by that lover of finery, Queen Elizabeth;
+but no record remains to shew if these were preserved with the three
+thousand robes which were found after her death in the wardrobe of
+England's Maiden Queen.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">The love for domestic occupations, which is so admirable a trait in the
+character of our countrywomen, has often been a subject of gratulation;
+and that female ingenuity and skill may continue to be employed in
+embellishing the drawing-room, rather than in directing the political
+intrigues of the <i>salon</i>, must be desired by all interested in the
+preservation of those domestic attributes which give so pleasing a charm
+to home, and secure the comfort of all around.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">The taste which her Majesty Queen Victoria evinces for feminine pursuits
+and occupations has naturally exercised considerable influence in
+preserving habits of industry amongst her female subjects; and to her
+Majesty's example, and that of the amiable Queen Dowager, may be
+ascribed that the labours of the English embroideress are now justly
+appreciated, and her work esteemed as in no respects inferior to the
+produce of foreign ingenuity.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">In expressing their thanks for the patronage extended to the <i>Lady's
+Album of Fancy-Work</i> for 1849, the Publishers take leave to state that
+the present Volume contains designs and patterns for various articles in
+Embroidery, Braid-Work, Crochet, Knitting, Netting, Ribbon-Work,
+Scagliola, and Indian Ornamental Work; all of which are executed and
+engraved in a style of unusual superiority. Each pattern is accompanied
+with plain and explicit directions; and it is hoped that their execution
+will afford many hours of pleasurable employment to the fair and
+industrious votaress of the needle.</p>

+<br />
+</center>
+<p align="justify">CHAIN-STITCH OPEN CROCHET.&mdash;This consists of five or any uneven number
+of loops attached by a plain stitch to every third stitch of the
+foundation, and in the succeeding rows to the centre loop of the chain
+of previous row.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">THREE CHAIN CROCHET.&mdash;Work a chain of three loops as in chain-stitch
+open crochet.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">DOUBLE CROCHET.&mdash;Work as follows: having made a chain, pass the needle
+through the first loop on the chain, draw the cotton through the loop,
+there will now be two loops on the needle, through these draw the
+cotton.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">SINGLE CROCHET.&mdash;Insert the needle in the loops, and draw the cotton
+through this loop and that on the needle.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">RIBBED CROCHET.&mdash;This is worked in a similar manner to double crochet,
+only that the under loop of the previous row is taken, and it is done in
+rows to and fro.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">LONG STITCH.&mdash;Twist the cotton round the needle, pass it through the
+loop, draw the cotton through the first two loops on the needle, then
+catch the cotton again and draw it through the next two loops; there
+will be one loop left on the needle.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">DOUBLE LONG STITCH.&mdash;This resembles long stitch, excepting that the
+cotton is twisted twice round the needle.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">TREBLE LONG STITCH.&mdash;Twist the cotton three times round the needle.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">SINGLE OPEN CROCHET.&mdash;This is a succession of long stitches, with a
+chain-stitch between each, missing one stitch of the foundation; in the
+succeeding rows the long stitch is worked between the two long stitches
+of the preceding rows.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">DOUBLE OPEN CROCHET.&mdash;This consists of two long stitches, then two
+chain-stitches; or it may be varied by making one long stitch, two
+chain-stitches, missing the same number of stitches in foundation as
+there are chain-stitches.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">TREBLE OPEN CROCHET.&mdash;Work three long stitches, then three chain,
+missing three of the foundation.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">VANDYKE OPEN CROCHET.&mdash;Work three long stitches into one of the
+foundation, make one chain-stitch, miss three of the foundation; repeat.
+In the next and following rows the long stitches are worked in the
+chain-stitch.</p>

+<p align="justify">The various elegant designs for handkerchiefs, jupons, shirts, &amp;c. are
+worked in raised satin stitch. The material used is French
+working-cotton; numbers 100 or 120 will be found suitable for most
+purposes, but this must be regulated by the quality of the cambric.
+Handkerchiefs embroidered in colours continue to be extremely
+fashionable; the patterns in the <i>Lady's Album</i> are of the most novel
+description, and quite suitable for this style of work. The names and
+initial letters are worked in satin-stitch, sewing over the lines.</p><br /><br /><br />

+
+<p align="justify">This description of drawing is called Scagliola work, or a Mischia
+(mixed workmanship); it was first invented by Guido Tassi, and the art
+was afterwards improved and perfected by Henry Hugford, a monk, of
+Vallambrosa. It was first used to counterfeit marbles; and the altar of
+St. Antonio, in the church of St. Nicolo, at Carpi, is still preserved
+as a monument of extraordinary skill and beauty. It consists of two
+columns, representing porphyry, and adorned with a pallium, embroidered
+as it were with lace; while it is ornamented in the margin with medals
+bearing beautiful figures.</p>
+
+<p align="justify">The dicromi, or yellow figures on a black ground, in imitation of the
+Etruscan vases, are now most admired in scagliola work; and as the art
+is one easy of attainment, we shall describe it. Having procured a piece
+of sycamore of the desired size and shape, you draw upon it with a
+pencil, first the centre piece, and afterwards the border; you then
+trace over the pencil marks with Indian-ink and a fine crow-quill, and
+next fill in the ground with Indian-ink and a camel's-hair brush. After
+two or three days, varnish with the best picture-varnish. If sycamore
+cannot be procured, deal will answer the purpose, covered with good
+cream-coloured drawing-paper.</p>

+then sew on the sprigs as in the engraving. Sew the edges of the leaves
+and flowers nicely, to prevent their turning up; then, with a
+sewing-needle and fine cotton, unite the flowers, leaves, and borders,
+by passing the needle from one part of a leaf or flower to another four
+or five times; then pass the needle under the bars formed six or eight
+times, according to the length of the bar; pass the needle to another
+part, and continue to connect the work in this manner throughout the

+</center>
+<p align="justify">Beautiful cabinets, work-boxes, work-tables, fire-screens, &amp;c., may be
+painted in imitation of ebony inlaid with ivory by the following
+means:&mdash;Let your screen be made of an elegant form, but merely of common
+white wood or deal, prepared as below.</p>
+<br />
+
+<p align="justify"><i>Composition for the Surface of Wood</i>.&mdash;Steep one ounce of glue in a
+pint of cold water all night; throw off the water in the morning. Take
+six ounces of finest white lead in powder, mix it by degrees in a
+mortar, with about half a pint of cold water, till it is perfectly
+smooth, then place it, along with the glue, in a clean pan. Add half a
+pint more water; set it on the fire, stirring constantly till it boils.
+Let it boil three minutes; take it off, and pour it into a stone jar,
+and continue to stir it occasionally till cold. When cold, but before it
+congeals, take a clean paint-brush, and paint your screen with the
+composition. When it is quite dry, rub it over with sand-paper, to make
+it quite smooth; then give it another coat of the white composition,
+repeating the rubbing with sand-paper as before. Repeat this same
+process five or six times, until you obtain a smooth, equal, white
+surface. When that is accomplished, dissolve the fourth of an ounce of
+isinglass in a quarter of a pint of water; when cold, but liquid, give
+the screen a coat of it with a clean brush, and do not use the
+sand-paper after it.</p>
+
+<p align="justify"><i>To Ornament the Screen</i>.&mdash;Lay a sheet of black tracing-paper on the
+screen, with the black side downwards; then place a pattern above it,
+with the right side uppermost; place a weight here and there, to prevent
+it slipping; then trace over the outline with a rather blunt stiletto.
+On removing the paper, you will find the outline of the pattern
+transferred to the surface of the screen. Trace over the outline,
+and shade, in lines, with a fine camel's-hair pencil dipped in Newman's
+lamp-black; fill in with the same.</p>
+
+<p align="justify"><i>Varnish</i>.&mdash;Place four ounces of rectified spirit of wine in a
+wide-mouthed bottle; add one ounce of gum sandarac, a quarter of an
+ounce of gum mastic, and a drachm of camphor, all in powder. Put a
+stopper in the bottle, set it near a fire, and shake it occasionally.
+When all the gums are quite dissolved, add one ounce of oil of
+turpentine; then strain through muslin into another clean, dry
+wide-mouthed bottle. Let it stand a day or two before using.</p>
+
+<p align="justify"><i>Mode of Varnishing</i>.&mdash;Take a large clean new varnish-brush, dip it into
+the bottle, and then cover over all your screen with it. When perfectly
+dry, give it another coat, and so on till it has had six coats; let it
+remain untouched for two days; rub it smooth with sand-paper; then give
+it two more coats of varnish, and repeat the rubbing, being careful to
+wait between each coat till the last is dry, and not to rub with
+sand-paper sooner than two days after varnishing, and never give more
+than two coats of varnish in a day&mdash;one in the morning, another at
+night. When you think it looks clear and sufficiently thick, give it
+another coat without using the sand-paper after it; let it stand four
+days; then rub it all over with pounded rottenstone, and wipe it off
+with a wet cloth; after which take a little Florence oil and
+hair-powder, and polish with your hand.</p>

+row, taking the two last as one before you turn the last stitch over.
+Two petals like these are required.</p>
+

+yellow wool, split; cast on three stitches, knit and pearl in alternate
+rows, increasing one stitch before and one after the middle stitch in
+the plain row, till you have fifteen or seventeen stitches; take a
+higher shade of yellow, and work six more alternate plain and pearled

+place across a piece of wire, fold the wire, twist the ends, turn down
+the ends of wool, tie them round the wire, leaving out the length
+required for the bud (about a quarter of an inch); cover the stem with
+green wool, split; also the stem of the heartsease.</p>
+
+<p align="justify"><i>Leaves</i>.&mdash;Begin with a shade of green wool, split as for one of the
+yellow petals, but you have thirteen stitches; cast off three at the
+beginning of the two following rows, go on increasing again to thirteen;
+cast off three at each end, and make thus as many scallops as will look
+well&mdash;in general three or four on each side make a very good-sized leaf;

+row, till the leaf comes to a point.</p>

+Sixteen of these sprigs are required, and sixteen more small roses.
+Place one sprig between each of the chains of 24 d c, where they meet at
+the points of the leaves, and sew them by the thread which was left at
+the end of the stalk. Confine them to the 24 d c by the lower 13 c s.
+Place a small rose between each of these sprigs, fastening them together
+where they meet. The best way is, to cut out a circle in coloured paper,
+and (after the crochet work is completed) place the mat wrong side up
+upon it, and fasten the flowers to it and to each other, as it will then
+be quite flat and smooth.</p>

+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by

+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org">https://www.gutenberg.org</a>
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+<a href="https://gutenberg.org/etext06/">https://gutenberg.org/etext06</a>
+
+    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are

+THE LADY'S ALBUM OF FANCY WORK FOR 1850
+
+Consisting of Novel, Elegant, and Useful Designs in
+Knitting, Netting, Crochet, Braiding, and Embroidery
+with Clear and Explicit Directions for Working the Patterns
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ADDRESS
+
+Encouraged by the kind welcome which greeted their former efforts to
+provide a volume worthy the attention of the ladies of the United
+Kingdom, the Publishers of the _Lady's Album of Fancy-Work_ have issued
+a similar production for 1850. Solicitous to preserve the favourable
+consideration so flatteringly accorded, every care has been taken to
+render the _Lady's Album of fancy-Work_ for 1850 as attractive and
+useful as possible; no expense has been spared in its artistic
+illustration, letterpress, and embellishment; and it will be found an
+elegant ornament in the drawing-room as well as a useful ally at the
+work-table. The patterns and designs are of the most useful and varied
+character: specimens are given of each style of work recently invented;
+and no article either of ornament or use at present in fashion is
+omitted.
+
+The exercise of the needle has been from time immemorial a favourite
+occupation with the females of every country; and the allusions to the
+subject from cotemporary historians and poets evince that this feminine
+pursuit was regarded with approval and respect. The invention of
+embroidery is ascribed to the Phrygians; and we also learn from ancient
+authors, that the Sidonians particularly excelled in this beautiful art
+of decorative needlework; it must have also made considerable progress
+in the country soon after the Norman Conquest, from the accounts that
+are recorded of the robes embroidered in gold and silver, generally worn
+by persons of rank at that period. The Bayeux Tapestry also remains to
+us as a lasting trophy of the skill and industry of Queen Matilda and
+the ladies of her court, and is not more interesting as a historical
+record than as a specimen of the needlework of the mediaeval age. The
+introduction of knitting into this country is comparatively of modern
+date; so late as the middle of the sixteenth century. The invention of
+the art is usually ascribed to the Spaniards; though the Scotch, with
+some appearance of justice, assert their claims as its originators. Like
+all inventions, knitting has undergone wonderful improvements since it
+was first simply used for stocking-making: and the value attached to
+stockings so made may be judged from the fact, that a pair were deemed a
+fitting present from one sovereign to another. A pair of knitted hose
+was amongst the gifts received by that lover of finery, Queen Elizabeth;
+but no record remains to shew if these were preserved with the three
+thousand robes which were found after her death in the wardrobe of
+England's Maiden Queen.
+
+The love for domestic occupations, which is so admirable a trait in the
+character of our countrywomen, has often been a subject of gratulation;
+and that female ingenuity and skill may continue to be employed in
+embellishing the drawing-room, rather than in directing the political
+intrigues of the _salon_, must be desired by all interested in the
+preservation of those domestic attributes which give so pleasing a charm
+to home, and secure the comfort of all around.
+
+The taste which her Majesty Queen Victoria evinces for feminine pursuits
+and occupations has naturally exercised considerable influence in
+preserving habits of industry amongst her female subjects; and to her
+Majesty's example, and that of the amiable Queen Dowager, may be
+ascribed that the labours of the English embroideress are now justly
+appreciated, and her work esteemed as in no respects inferior to the
+produce of foreign ingenuity.
+
+In expressing their thanks for the patronage extended to the _Lady's
+Album of Fancy-Work_ for 1849, the Publishers take leave to state that
+the present Volume contains designs and patterns for various articles in
+Embroidery, Braid-Work, Crochet, Knitting, Netting, Ribbon-Work,
+Scagliola, and Indian Ornamental Work; all of which are executed and
+engraved in a style of unusual superiority. Each pattern is accompanied
+with plain and explicit directions; and it is hoped that their execution
+will afford many hours of pleasurable employment to the fair and
+industrious votaress of the needle.

+EXPLANATION OF THE VARIOUS TERMS USED IN CROCHET.
+
+
+CHAIN-STITCH OPEN CROCHET.--This consists of five or any uneven number
+of loops attached by a plain stitch to every third stitch of the
+foundation, and in the succeeding rows to the centre loop of the chain
+of previous row.
+
+THREE CHAIN CROCHET.--Work a chain of three loops as in chain-stitch
+open crochet.
+
+DOUBLE CROCHET.--Work as follows: having made a chain, pass the needle
+through the first loop on the chain, draw the cotton through the loop,
+there will now be two loops on the needle, through these draw the
+cotton.
+
+SINGLE CROCHET.--Insert the needle in the loops, and draw the cotton
+through this loop and that on the needle.
+
+RIBBED CROCHET.--This is worked in a similar manner to double crochet,
+only that the under loop of the previous row is taken, and it is done in
+rows to and fro.
+
+LONG STITCH.--Twist the cotton round the needle, pass it through the
+loop, draw the cotton through the first two loops on the needle, then
+catch the cotton again and draw it through the next two loops; there
+will be one loop left on the needle.
+
+DOUBLE LONG STITCH.--This resembles long stitch, excepting that the
+cotton is twisted twice round the needle.
+
+TREBLE LONG STITCH.--Twist the cotton three times round the needle.
+
+SINGLE OPEN CROCHET.--This is a succession of long stitches, with a
+chain-stitch between each, missing one stitch of the foundation; in the
+succeeding rows the long stitch is worked between the two long stitches
+of the preceding rows.
+
+DOUBLE OPEN CROCHET.--This consists of two long stitches, then two
+chain-stitches; or it may be varied by making one long stitch, two
+chain-stitches, missing the same number of stitches in foundation as
+there are chain-stitches.
+
+TREBLE OPEN CROCHET.--Work three long stitches, then three chain,
+missing three of the foundation.
+
+VANDYKE OPEN CROCHET.--Work three long stitches into one of the
+foundation, make one chain-stitch, miss three of the foundation; repeat.
+In the next and following rows the long stitches are worked in the
+chain-stitch.

+The various elegant designs for handkerchiefs, jupons, shirts, &c. are
+worked in raised satin stitch. The material used is French
+working-cotton; numbers 100 or 120 will be found suitable for most
+purposes, but this must be regulated by the quality of the cambric.
+Handkerchiefs embroidered in colours continue to be extremely
+fashionable; the patterns in the _Lady's Album_ are of the most novel
+description, and quite suitable for this style of work. The names and
+initial letters are worked in satin-stitch, sewing over the lines.

+1. FRONT FOR LADY'S CABINET.
+
+_Materials--Black satin; six shades of crimson, five shades of yellow,
+three shades of puce, two shades of scarlet, three shades of
+yellow-greens, three shades of blue-greens, and two shades of brown
+embroidery silk, or of chenille_.
+
+
+Draw the design upon the satin, frame the work, and work in
+embroidery-stitch. The rose-leaves with the yellow-greens, the leaves of
+thistles with the blue-greens, the stems with brown, the thistle and bud
+of thistle with the shades of puce, working the centre of the former
+with the shades of scarlet.
+
+Work the rose on the right hand of thistle with the four darkest shades
+of crimson, and that on the left and the buds with the four lightest
+shades. Work the remaining rose with the yellow shades. Work the designs
+for corners in a similar manner, shading according to the taste of the
+worker.
+
+The above design is adapted for the front or door of a small rosewood or
+an inlaid ebony cabinet, suitable for a lady's boudoir or dressing-room.
+It looks well if worked upon white instead of black satin; and if the
+former is used, it is advisable to have plate-glass as a protection to
+the needlework.

+is also worked over a wire in the 10th round, to form the bottom of
+basket. Wrap four pieces of wire, the height of the basket, with green
+wool, and attach to the inside at regular distances. Prepare a piece of
+wire, in like manner, for the handle. Work the handle as follows:
+
+With shaded green make a chain the length required.--
+
+_2d row (with amber)_. Close double crochet.--
+
+_3d row (with green)_. Close double crochet; sew this to the wire, which
+must be placed in the under side.
+
+Prepare the flowers and leaves which ornament the edge of the basket in
+the following manner:
+
+_Geranium_.--With geranium-coloured wool make a chain of five stitches,
+unite, and work a round in double crochet, increasing in every stitch;
+work a round without increasing, then work 1 single crochet, 2 chain, 3
+long, 2 chain, 1 single crochet, in one stitch, miss 1, and repeat in
+every alternate stitch.
+
+_For the Cup of the Flower_.--With green make a chain of five stitches,

+stamens with amber wool, and sew the stamens and flower to the cup.
+
+_For Geranium-bud_.--With geranium-colour make a chain of three
+stitches, unite, increase in the second round by working two in each
+alternate stitch; work 2 rounds without increasing; then work two rounds
+decreasing in every stitch. With green make a chain of four stitches,
+unite, and work 1 single, 3 long, 1 single; repeat three times, and draw
+the bud through this, leaving a piece for the stem, which must be
+wrapped with green wool. _Forget-me-not_.--With blue make a chain of
+five, unite, and into this ring work 1 single, 2 long, 1 single; repeat
+four times.
+
+_For the Cup of the Flower_.--With green make a chain of four stitches,
+work 1 single, 1 long in every loop; make stamens with pieces of amber
+wool; place the flower within the cup, draw the stamens through, and sew
+at the end, leaving a piece of wool for the stem, which is wrapped with
+green.
+
+_For the Leaves_.--With green make a chain of 18 stitches; work down one
+side of these for 11 stitches in single crochet; turn to the other side,
+work 1 single, 2 long, in the first two stitches; (_a_) 1 single, 1

+chain to the fifteenth stitch; from this work a chain of 11 stitches,
+and work a leaf from the directions already given. Work a third leaf on
+the reverse side of stem. Seven geraniums and three buds will be
+required, and fifteen forget-me-nots and seven sprays of leaves will
+also be needed.
+
+Arrange the flowers and leaves on the basket as seen in illustration,
+and sew on the handle.

+
+_Materials--Raworth's crochet-thread No. 70, and a middle-sized
+tambour-needle_.
+
+
+Cut out in paper the shape of the collar you wish to make, but half an
+inch larger all round.
+
+_Edging for the Collar_.--Make a chain about one-third longer than the
+outside of your paper pattern, turn and work the first row along the
+chain in long crochet, making a chain stitch after each long one, and
+missing the corresponding loop of the chain.--
+
+_2d row_. Turn again, keeping the work on the right side; make 3 chain
+stitches, and along the opposite edge of the long stitches, (_a_), work
+10 plain stitches, and in the tenth a chain of 9 stitches; turn, and
+along the vein just made work 8 stitches in double crochet, and 1 plain
+stitch in the loop from which the chain springs; repeat from (_a_)
+throughout the row. Break off your cotton, and begin the next row and
+all the following at the other end.--
+
+_3d row. (b_) Work 9 plain stitches, then work round the vein in long
+stitches, making an additional stitch at the top; repeat from (_b_).--
+
+_4th row. (c_) Work 8 plain stitches, then round the leaf in long
+stitches, making 2 additional stitches in the top loop; repeat from
+(_c_).--
+
+_5th row. (d_) Work 7 plain stitches, then, in double crochet, making
+round the leaf an additional stitch in the top loop; repeat from
+_(d)_.--
+
+_6th row. (e)_ Work 6 plain stitches, and round the leaf in double
+crochet, without making a stitch at the top; repeat from _(e)_.
+
+To complete your edging, work a row of double crochet on the other edge
+of the row of long stitches.
+
+_Flowers for the Collar_.--
+
+Make a chain of 6 stitches; close it by
+taking a plain stitch in the first of the chain; work in every loop of
+this small ring 2 long stitches, with a chain-stitch between each of the
+long ones. In finishing the round, make a stitch to complete the number
+of twenty-five loops; then _(a)_ work 5 plain stitches, and in the fifth
+make a chain of 7 stitches; turn, work 6 stitches in double crochet
+along the chain, and 1 plain in the loop from which the chain springs;
+repeat from _(a)_ four times. You have then three veins; work round them
+as directed for the leaves of the edging; after the second row of double
+crochet break off your cotton. According to the size of the collar, five
+or six flowers will be sufficient, if you make also the trifoliums.
+
+_Trifoliums_.--Make a chain of 18 stitches; turn, and work along the
+chain 3 plain stitches, a vein of 7 stitches; 6 plain, a vein of 8
+stitches; 6 more plain stitches, another vein of 7; 3 plain stitches,
+and break off the cotton. Begin at the first end, and work the two rows
+of long stitches exactly as directed for the leaves of the edging; at
+the end of the two following rows, which are in double crochet, round
+the leaves, instead of breaking off the cotton, work in double crochet
+from the third leaflet to the first; thus connecting the work in one
+single leaf with three divisions. Having prepared the required number of
+flowers and leaves, baste your edging on the paper pattern, so that the
+whole of the leaves rest on the paper; then work a chain rather loose,
+to connect the two ends of the collar on the neck side; turn, and work
+along that chain a row of double crochet. Baste this narrow band
+carefully half an inch from the edge of the paper; then begin a row of
+double crochet inside the collar, throwing, at even distances, a
+slanting chain from the edging to the neckband, working back each time
+along that chain in long or double crochet; repeat the same operation
+from the neckband to the edging, so as to divide the whole middle of the
+collar in a certain number of diamonds; baste the diamonds to the paper,
+place alternately in each a flower or a trifolium, and, with a
+sewing-needle and fine French embroidery cotton, connect the flowers and
+leaves to the inside edges of the diamonds in long twisted stitches,
+rows of button-hole stitches, or any kind of lace-work. After being
+washed and starched, the collar ought to be pressed on the wrong side
+with the head of a round nail warmed in the fire.

+SCAGLIOLA WORK
+
+30. A CHESS-BOARD.
+
+This description of drawing is called Scagliola work, or a Mischia
+(mixed workmanship); it was first invented by Guido Tassi, and the art
+was afterwards improved and perfected by Henry Hugford, a monk, of
+Vallambrosa. It was first used to counterfeit marbles; and the altar of
+St. Antonio, in the church of St. Nicolo, at Carpi, is still preserved
+as a monument of extraordinary skill and beauty. It consists of two
+columns, representing porphyry, and adorned with a pallium, embroidered
+as it were with lace; while it is ornamented in the margin with medals
+bearing beautiful figures.
+
+The dicromi, or yellow figures on a black ground, in imitation of the
+Etruscan vases, are now most admired in scagliola work; and as the art
+is one easy of attainment, we shall describe it. Having procured a piece
+of sycamore of the desired size and shape, you draw upon it with a
+pencil, first the centre piece, and afterwards the border; you then
+trace over the pencil marks with Indian-ink and a fine crow-quill, and
+next fill in the ground with Indian-ink and a camel's-hair brush. After
+two or three days, varnish with the best picture-varnish. If sycamore
+cannot be procured, deal will answer the purpose, covered with good
+cream-coloured drawing-paper.

+
+Measure the size round the head, and cut a piece of ticken to the

+_Band of insertion for the Wrist_.--19 c s, unite d c round this ring
+eighteen times, which will cover about three-quarters of the ring. Turn
+the work wrong side up. 6 c s, miss 2, s c into third stitch; repeat
+this five times more. Turn 1 d c, 5 l s, 1 d c, into every space formed
+by 6 c s, d c round the remaining part of the ring six times; fasten
+off, leaving one end about three inches long. Turn on the wrong side.
+Begin on the third stitch of third scallop of last flower. 12 c s, s c
+into fifth stitch of next scallop, forming a loop over the two centre
+scallops. Turn. D c round this loop eighteen times. Turn. * 6 c s, miss
+2, s c into third stitch; repeat from * five times more. Turn. 1 d c, 5
+l s, 1 d c into every space formed by 6 c s; fasten off, leaving one end
+as in last flower. Work fifteen of these flowers, thread a fine needle
+with the ends left, and make a few stitches on the wrong side to secure
+them. The band between the two puffings is to be worked exactly the
+same; but there must be eighteen flowers instead of fifteen. Commence
+the fulness on the band for the wrist on the first scallop, at the edge,
+5 c s (working in the end of the thread), s c into the centre of next
+scallop, * 6 c s, s c into the first scallop of next flower. 5 c s, s c
+into next scallop; repeat from * to the end of the band.

+end of the row.--_4th row_. Commence on the same loop of 8 c s, as the
+last row was begun on 10 c s, d c round the centre of first loop in last
+row, * 9 c s, d c round the next loop; repeat from * to the end of the
+row. After the d c stitch round the last loop in this row, make 5 c s,
+and draw the end of the cotton through. _These 5 c s must be worked at
+the end of every alternate row, in order to keep the ends of the fulness
+even_. Work four more rows like the two last, making in all six rows,
+then seven rows, having 10 c s in each loop, every alternate row of
+which is begun in the same loop as the preceding row, having 12 c s in
+the first loop. Then work six more rows like the former six, having 9 c
+s in each loop. This will make nineteen rows of loops: fasten off. Work
+a fulness on the upper band of insertion in exactly the same manner, and
+gather it in at the top next the sleeve in this way: commence on the
+first loop 2 c s, take the next loop on the needle, and d c round it
+once, 2 c s, * d c round next loop once, 2 c s; repeat from * to end of
+row. In the next row, work 1 l s into every stitch of last row.
+
+To unite the fulness on the wristband to the upper band of insertion,
+turn them both on the wrong side, and hold them as if they were to be
+sewn together, the insertion being at the back. Take the first loop, and
+the centre stitch of the first scallop, on the needle, and work 1 s c to
+unite them, 3 c s, s c the next loop and centre stitch of the next
+scallop, o 4 c s, s c the next loop and centre of first scallop in next
+flounce together, 3 c s, s c next loop and next scallop, o * 4 c s, s c
+next loop and next scallop, 2 c s; take the next loop on the needle
+_without_ the scallop, and s c once round it, 2 c s, s c the next loop
+and next scallop together; repeat from * to end of row, except on the
+two last flowers, which must be worked as from o to o.
+
+_For the Edging on the Wristband_.--Commence on the first scallop of the
+insertion, * 5 c s, s c into next scallop, 6 c s, s c into next scallop;
+repeat from * to end of row.
+
+_2d row_. 10 c s, 1 l s, into first loop of last row, * 3 c s, 1 l s
+into same loop, 3 c s, 1 l s into next loop; repeat from * to end of
+row.--
+
+_3d row_. 7 c s, d c round every loop of last row.--
+
+_4th row_. 4 c s, 1 l s into every loop of last row.--
+
+_5th row_. Begin on the first loop of third row, 6 c s, 5 l s into first
+loop of last row, 4 c s, d c into next loop, * 4 c s, 5 l s into next
+loop, 4 c s, d c into next loop; repeat from *.--
+
+_6th row_. 4 d c stitches round first loop of 6 c s in last row, 8 c s,
+* miss the 5 l s, d c four times round the next loop of 4 c s, 4 d c
+round the next loop, 8 c s; repeat from *.--
+
+_7th row_. Begin on first loop of 8 in last row, 7 c s, s c _between_
+the two loops of 4 d c each, * 7 c s, s c round the centre of 8 c s in
+last row, 10 c s, d c round the same loop, 7 c s, s c between the two
+loops of 4 d c; repeat from * to end of row. This finishes the edging.
+
+D c round the ends of the puffings, taking in the ends left on finishing
+the rows. Make a chain of 15 stitches at the ends of the two bands of
+insertions, and s c into the edge for a small loop. D c round these
+twenty-four times, and sew a small pearl button on the other ends of the
+bands. The insertion may have a narrow satin ribbon run through the open
+holes, finished by a small bow at the upper part of the sleeve.

+Work a chain the length of the collar.--
+
+_1st row_. Plain.--
+
+_2d row_. 1 plain, 2 long, 3 double long, 2 long, 1 plain; repeat.
+_Directions for making up the collar_.--After the leaves, flowers,
+band, and border are worked, cut the shape of the collar in pink or blue
+paper; gum a piece of holland at the back of the paper, to prevent its
+tearing; tack the border on the paper pattern, the right side downwards;
+then sew on the sprigs as in the engraving. Sew the edges of the leaves
+and flowers nicely, to prevent their turning up; then, with a
+sewing-needle and fine cotton, unite the flowers, leaves, and borders,
+by passing the needle from one part of a leaf or flower to another four
+or five times; then pass the needle under the bars formed six or eight
+times, according to the length of the bar; pass the needle to another
+part, and continue to connect the work in this manner throughout the
+collar.

+on mesh No. 3, net 2 rows with each shade, increasing a stitch at the
+end of each row; leave one-half of the cap plain, and net a border in
+the following manner on the remaining loops and at the ends:--With the
+darkest shade net 4 loops in every loop on the flat mesh, increasing by
+making 6 loops in each of the three corner stitches; then on mesh No. 3,
+net 1 loop in each, and finish by netting a row with the next shade on
+the smallest mesh: this must be repeated at each side of the cap. For
+the second border, net 100 loops on the flat mesh on a foundation of
+wool, and finish to correspond with the first border. Two pieces netted
+in this manner are required, and they are arranged in festoons at the
+sides of the cap. Pass a cord the size required through the
+foundation-stitches, join it, and sew on a rosette made in the following
+manner:--With the darkest shade net 100 loops on mesh No. 3; then with
+the next shade net 2 rows at each side and at the ends; make this into a

+INDIAN ORNAMENTAL WORK
+
+69. SCREEN.
+
+Beautiful cabinets, work-boxes, work-tables, fire-screens, &c., may be
+painted in imitation of ebony inlaid with ivory by the following
+means:--Let your screen be made of an elegant form, but merely of common
+white wood or deal, prepared as below.
+
+
+_Composition for the Surface of Wood_.--Steep one ounce of glue in a
+pint of cold water all night; throw off the water in the morning. Take
+six ounces of finest white lead in powder, mix it by degrees in a
+mortar, with about half a pint of cold water, till it is perfectly
+smooth, then place it, along with the glue, in a clean pan. Add half a
+pint more water; set it on the fire, stirring constantly till it boils.
+Let it boil three minutes; take it off, and pour it into a stone jar,
+and continue to stir it occasionally till cold. When cold, but before it
+congeals, take a clean paint-brush, and paint your screen with the
+composition. When it is quite dry, rub it over with sand-paper, to make
+it quite smooth; then give it another coat of the white composition,
+repeating the rubbing with sand-paper as before. Repeat this same
+process five or six times, until you obtain a smooth, equal, white
+surface. When that is accomplished, dissolve the fourth of an ounce of
+isinglass in a quarter of a pint of water; when cold, but liquid, give
+the screen a coat of it with a clean brush, and do not use the
+sand-paper after it.
+
+_To Ornament the Screen_.--Lay a sheet of black tracing-paper on the
+screen, with the black side downwards; then place a pattern above it,
+with the right side uppermost; place a weight here and there, to prevent
+it slipping; then trace over the outline with a rather blunt stiletto.
+On removing the paper, you will find the outline of the pattern
+transferred to the surface of the screen. Trace over the outline,
+and shade, in lines, with a fine camel's-hair pencil dipped in Newman's
+lamp-black; fill in with the same.
+
+_Varnish_.--Place four ounces of rectified spirit of wine in a
+wide-mouthed bottle; add one ounce of gum sandarac, a quarter of an
+ounce of gum mastic, and a drachm of camphor, all in powder. Put a
+stopper in the bottle, set it near a fire, and shake it occasionally.
+When all the gums are quite dissolved, add one ounce of oil of
+turpentine; then strain through muslin into another clean, dry
+wide-mouthed bottle. Let it stand a day or two before using.
+
+_Mode of Varnishing_.--Take a large clean new varnish-brush, dip it into
+the bottle, and then cover over all your screen with it. When perfectly
+dry, give it another coat, and so on till it has had six coats; let it
+remain untouched for two days; rub it smooth with sand-paper; then give
+it two more coats of varnish, and repeat the rubbing, being careful to
+wait between each coat till the last is dry, and not to rub with
+sand-paper sooner than two days after varnishing, and never give more
+than two coats of varnish in a day--one in the morning, another at
+night. When you think it looks clear and sufficiently thick, give it
+another coat without using the sand-paper after it; let it stand four
+days; then rub it all over with pounded rottenstone, and wipe it off
+with a wet cloth; after which take a little Florence oil and
+hair-powder, and polish with your hand.

+
+_Materials--Split Berlin wool, and knitting-needles No. 20; cornucopia
+gauge_.
+
+
+_Violet Petals_.--Cast on three stitches with a bright shade of violet;
+knit and pearl in alternate rows, making a stitch at the beginning of
+every row, until you have fourteen or sixteen stitches; then knit and
+pearl six rows alternately, without increase, and continue in knitted
+and pearled rows, decreasing one stitch at the beginning of each row,
+till six or eight stitches alone remain; these cast off in the plain
+row, taking the two last as one before you turn the last stitch over.
+Two petals like these are required.
+
+_Large Yellow Petal_.--Take a bright, though rather deep, shade of
+yellow wool, split; cast on three stitches, knit and pearl in alternate
+rows, increasing one stitch before and one after the middle stitch in
+the plain row, till you have fifteen or seventeen stitches; take a
+higher shade of yellow, and work six more alternate plain and pearled
+rows, still increasing in the middle, but decreasing one stitch at the
+beginning of every row; change your wool for a deep violet, and continue
+to knit in alternate plain and pearled rows, decreasing one stitch at
+the beginning of each row, till seven stitches only remain; these cast
+off, taking the two last as one.
+
+_Two smaller Petals_.--Exactly like the large one, but increased only to
+thirteen stitches. Sew a fine wire round each petal with split wool, tie
+the five petals together with a bit of green.
+
+_Buds_.--Take eight or ten lengths of split wool, yellow and violet,
+place across a piece of wire, fold the wire, twist the ends, turn down
+the ends of wool, tie them round the wire, leaving out the length
+required for the bud (about a quarter of an inch); cover the stem with
+green wool, split; also the stem of the heartsease.
+
+_Leaves_.--Begin with a shade of green wool, split as for one of the
+yellow petals, but you have thirteen stitches; cast off three at the
+beginning of the two following rows, go on increasing again to thirteen;
+cast off three at each end, and make thus as many scallops as will look
+well--in general three or four on each side make a very good-sized leaf;
+after the last scallops, decrease one stitch at the beginning of every
+row, till the leaf comes to a point.

+RIBBON WORK
+
+72. A NEW AND ELEGANT WORK FOR SOFA PILLOWS, ANTI-MACASSARS,
+CARD-BASKETS, &c.
+
+We will describe how to make an anti-macassar:--
+
+_Take Penelope canvass, three quarters of a yard long, half a yard wide;
+a piece of crimson china ribbon; one piece of gold-colour, one of shaded
+lilac, and a rug-needle_.
+
+
+Prepare the canvass by cutting away every 2 alternate threads, and draw
+them out the whole length of the canvass; next cut away and draw them
+out with tweezers, every 2 alternate threads, the whole of the width of
+the canvass. Next thread the rug-needle with crimson ribbon, and sew
+over the first 2 threads of canvass the lengthway of the canvass; when
+at the end, pass the needle to the next 2 threads and sew them over,
+taking care to keep the ribbon flat as possible; when at the top, return
+and cover the next two threads with the same coloured ribbon. This will
+make 3 stripes. Proceed the same with the gold-colour, 3 stripes; then
+the lilac, 3 stripes; then recommence with the crimson, and continue the
+same until you have the whole length finished. Next commence to sew over
+the same from side to side, which will form a chequered pattern, and has
+a rich effect. Finish round with a ruche of satin ribbon or fringe,
+crimson colour. If desired, can be worked with slight silk.

+
+73. LADY'S SILK MITTEN.
+
+_Materials_--10 _pieces of fine black crochet silk_; 2 _bundles of No_.
+6 _steel beads; Penelope crochet No_. 3.
+
+
+Make a chain of 84 stitches; work 1 row in plain-stitch crochet.--
+
+_2d row_. 2 edge-stitches, 1 bead-stitch, 1 plain to the end of row.--
+
+_3d row_. Plain.--
+
+_4th row_. Same as 2d row.--
+
+_5th, 6th, and 7th rows_. Plain.--
+
+_8th row_. 4 plain, 4 bead to the end of row.--
+
+_9th, 10th, and 11th rows_. As 8th row.--
+
+_13th, 14th, and 15th rows_. Plain.--
+
+_16th row_. 1 plain-stitch, 1 bead-stitch to the end of row.--
+
+_17th row_. Plain.
+
+This completes the band for the arm, which must be worked on one side,
+detaching the silk at the end of each row. Work 4 rows in chain-stitch
+open crochet, making 7 loops in each chain, and missing 4 stitches in
+working the first row, join and work in rounds; work _2_ rounds, then
+divide the mit in half, and leave a space for the thumb; the silk must
+be detached at the end of the row. Work to the centre of the back of
+hand, make 3 chain-stitches, pass down a bead in making the next 3
+chain-stitches, crochet to the centre stitch of chain of last row; then
+work 3 stitches, passing down a bead at each stitch, then _3_
+chain-stitches; work to the end of row. Work 6 rows, increasing the
+number of bead-stitches by commencing at the preceding chain-stitch;
+then work 6 rows, decreasing as seen in illustration; the last 3 of
+these must be worked in rounds instead of rows; work _3_ rounds in
+chain-stitches of 7 as before, then a round of chain-loops in each
+chain. Work one-half plain for the inner part of the hand, then 1 bead,
+1 plain. Next round plain. Work 3 rows thus on the back of the hand; 3
+bead-stitches, 3 plain stitches. Next round plain; then 1 bead-stitch, 1
+plain as before, and finish with a plain round. Now work the thumb as
+follows:--Work a chain of 7, missing every third stitch; repeat three
+times, then work 5 rounds, decreasing in each round by passing the loop
+through the centre stitches of two of the chains; work 3 rounds without
+decreasing, and finish with 3 rounds of close double crochet, making
+every alternate stitch of the centre round a bead-stitch. Work a loop on
+the band, and fasten with a button.

+
+_Materials--Canvass No. 40; scarlet, black, and white Berlin wool;
+fourth shade of blue, fourth ditto of green, fourth ditto of peach
+Berlin wool; amber floss silk, six skeins of each of the wools, and a
+similar quantity of silk will be required; also a piece of fine
+piping-cord, and emerald-green velvet ribbon_.
+
+
+Cut the canvass into strips 3 inches in width, and the length required;
+sew 14 lengths of cord upon the canvass, leaving 2 threads between each
+cord; the cord will cover a space of 2 threads. Leave a margin 18
+threads from this, and with black work 6 stitches over the 7th and 8th
+cords opposite each other; with blue work 6 stitches on the same cords
+on the right side, and with green 6 on the left; with peach work 6
+stitches on the 9th and 10th cords, above the stitches of black; and
+with scarlet 6 stitches on the 6th and 7th cords, underneath the black.
+There will now be 60 stitches worked. With white work 6 stitches on a
+line with each of the preceding stitches, and on the 2 cords above the
+stitches of peach and below the scarlet; with amber silk work 6 stitches
+in the same manner. This completes the first diamond. The pattern is
+repeated to the end of row. The spaces between the diamonds are worked
+as follows: With black work 6 stitches on a line with each stitch of
+amber; with peach work the stitches between the black on the 3d and 4th
+cords; on the right hand work 6 stitches with blue on the 1st and 2d
+cords, and on the left with green; work the centre stitches with silk.
+The opposite space is worked in a similar manner, substituting scarlet
+for peach. For a cushion it will be necessary to work 4 strips of this
+pattern; and, in making it up, a length of velvet ribbon of a similar
+width is placed between each division of work. Finish with green cord
+and tassels.

+78. A MAT FOR A FLOWER-VASE.
+
+_Material--Raworth's crochet thread No_. 40.
+
+
+_Centre Flower_.--12 c s, unite, work into this ring 5 c s, 1 l s, * 2 c
+s, 1 l s; repeat from * eleven times, finish with 2 c s, s c into third
+stitch of first, 5 c s.--
+
+_2d round_. D c into first space, * 5 c s, d c into next space; repeat
+from * into every space, finish with 5 c s, s c into first d c of the
+round.--
+
+_3d round_. 5 d c round every loop of 5 c s in last round.
+
+_The eight Leaves round this Flower_.--Commence on one of the stitches
+at the edge of this flower, 25 c s, s c back (this is for the stripe in
+the centre of leaf), * 5 c s, miss 3, d c into fourth; repeat from *
+five times, which brings it to top stitch of leaf, 6 c s, d c into same
+stitch, 5 c s, miss 3, d c into fourth six times down the other side of
+the stripe, draw out the loop on the needle a little, pass the thread
+under the leaf, 1 d c round the first loop, 5 c s, d c round the next
+loop, * 6 c s, d c round the next; repeat from * four times, which
+brings it to top loop, 7 c s into same top loop, 6 c s into five more
+loops down the other side, 5 c s, d c into last loop, pass the thread
+under the leaf, d c three times round the loop next to stripe, five
+times round next loop, six times round every loop up to the top, 2 d c,
+5 l s, 2 d c round the top loop, 6 d c round every chain of six down the
+other side, 5 d c round chain of 5, 3 d c round the last loop at bottom
+of leaf next to the stripe; fasten off. Make another leaf in the same
+manner at the opposite side of the centre flower, and one at an equal
+distance between these two; another on the other side to correspond,
+which will make four leaves, then work four more leaves between these 4,
+and the eight leaves will be finished.
+
+_For the rounds of open work proceed thus:_ Commence on the point of one
+of the leaves, work 29 c s, d c into point of next leaf; repeat this all
+round, not making the c s too tight.--
+
+_2d round_. D c into every stitch of this round.--
+
+_3d round_. 1 l s, * 3 c s, miss 2, 1 l s into third stitch; repeat from
+*.--
+
+_4th round_. D c into every stitch of last round.--
+
+_5th round_. 1 l s, * 3 c s, miss 2, 1 l s into third stitch; repeat
+from *.--
+
+_6th round_. D c into every stitch of last round.--
+
+_7th round_. 1 l s, 2 c s, miss 2, 1 l s into third; repeat from * all
+round.--
+
+_8th round_. D c into every stitch of last round. Work on the inside of
+the first round of 29 c s a ring, thus: commence on centre, c s
+_between_ the leaves, 16 c s, unite on foundation-stitch, d c
+twenty-four times round this ring; repeat these rings between every two
+leaves, making eight in all.
+
+_The Leaves on the outside of the open Rounds_.--
+
+Commence on stitch
+opposite to the point of one of the large leaves. 18 c s, 1 l s into
+sixth stitch, * 2 c s, miss 2, 1 l s into third; repeat three times more
+from *. 1 s c into foundation-stitch, then 4 d c round first loop; 1 d
+c, 2 l s, 1 d c round next three loops, 1 d c, 4 l s, 1 d c round top
+loop; 1 d c, 2 l s, 1 d c round three loops on the other side of leaf; 4
+d c round last loop. Make another leaf in the same manner, beginning at
+the same foundation-stitch. Fasten off. Then two more leaves exactly the
+same, opposite the points of all the large centre leaves. Then two more
+leaves opposite each of the d c rings inside the open rounds (which will
+be at an equal distance on each side from the others). There will now be
+thirty-two small leaves, two and two, the upper point of each leaf to be
+turned _outwards_, and to be tacked with needle and thread to the point
+of the next leaf, which it will meet easily. (Care must be taken to
+refer to the engraving for the manner in which the mat is to be
+finished, as it will greatly assist the explanations.)
+
+For the small roses between the leaves, which are made separately: 9 c
+s, unite, 5 c s, 1 long stitch into ring, * 2 c s, 1 l s; repeat from *
+seven times. 2 c s, s c into third stitch of first 5 c s.
+
+_2d round_. 1 s c round first space, 3 c s, 3 l s, into same space, * 5
+c s, miss 1 space, 4 l s into next space; repeat from * all round.
+Finish with 5 c s, s c into third stitch of 3 c s. Fasten off sixteen
+roses for the round. Place one of these roses between every pair of the
+leaves which proceed from the same foundation, and sew it at the edge to
+the third scallop of the leaves; then commence between the points of the
+leaves which were sewn together, * 24 c s, d c into centre of edge of
+small rose, 24 c s, d c between the points of the leaves; repeat from *
+all round, then 26 d c stitches _round_ every 24 chain.
+
+_Sprigs between the 24 C S_.--18 c s, unite on twelfth. D c round this
+loop twenty-two times. S c up remaining c s for stalk. Fasten off,
+leaving an end to sew the sprig on the mat. Turn wrong side up. Commence
+on fifth stitch from stalk on the _right-hand side_ of the flower, * 10
+c s, unite in same stitch. Turn again. Into this circle work 18 d c
+stitches *. Turn wrong side up. S c up to top of ring formed by 18 c s;
+repeat from * to * for another ring. Turn wrong side. S c down to fifth
+stitch from stalk. Repeat another ring, when the work will be on the
+right side. Bring the cotton to the side of this last ring nearest to
+stalk. 13 c s, s c into top of last ring. 6 c s, s c into same stitch.
+13 c s, s c into foundation close to the lower part of ring. 5 c s, s c
+into _foundation-ring,_ close to centre ring, at the top. 13 c s, s c
+into top of ring; 6 c s, s c into same stitch; 13 c s, s c into
+foundation at bottom of ring; 5 c s, s c into foundation at lower part
+of next ring; 13 c s, s c into top of ring; 6 c s, s c into same stitch;
+13 c s, s c into foundation at the other side of ring. Fasten off.
+Sixteen of these sprigs are required, and sixteen more small roses.
+Place one sprig between each of the chains of 24 d c, where they meet at
+the points of the leaves, and sew them by the thread which was left at
+the end of the stalk. Confine them to the 24 d c by the lower 13 c s.
+Place a small rose between each of these sprigs, fastening them together
+where they meet. The best way is, to cut out a circle in coloured paper,
+and (after the crochet work is completed) place the mat wrong side up
+upon it, and fasten the flowers to it and to each other, as it will then
+be quite flat and smooth.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
