+SAMUEL BUTLER'S PREFACE
+
+
+The Art of Needlework dates from the earliest record of the world's
+history, and has, also, from time immemorial been the support, comfort,
+or employment of women of every rank and age. Day by day, it increases
+its votaries, who enlarge and develop its various branches, so that any
+addition and assistance in teaching or learning Needlework will be
+welcomed by the Daughters of England, "wise of heart," who work
+diligently with their hands.
+
+The recent introduction of Point Lace has brought a finer, and,
+apparently, more difficult class of fancy work into general favour.
+Ladies may now, however, confidently commence, with our patterns before
+them, to reproduce Antique laces; for care and patience, with a
+knowledge of Point Lace stitches, are alone required to perfect the
+beautiful work, which, as shown in existing specimens of exquisite Old
+Lace, constitute the chief glory of women's refined industry in past
+centuries.
+
+INSTRUCTIONS in TATTING, in EMBROIDERY, in CROCHET, in KNITTING and
+NETTING, in BERLIN WOOL WORK, in POINT LACE, and GUIPURE D'ART are
+prefixed to the pages devoted to these separate branches of needlework.
+The whole work is interspersed with coloured and other Patterns in Point
+Lace, Guipure d'Art, Tatting, Embroidery, and Designs for Monograms and
+Initials for marking handkerchiefs and table-linen. The quantity of
+materials required for each class of work is also given with every
+pattern.
+
+The idea of combining a series of minute and exact instructions in fancy
+needlework with useful patterns was conceived some years ago by one
+whose life was devoted to the inculcation of the practical duties of
+woman's life, and to assisting her sex in their daily work of HOUSEHOLD
+MANAGEMENT and REFINEMENT.
+
+Her great wish was that her BOOK OF NEEDLEWORK should be as valuable in
+its way to her Countrywomen as her work upon Household Management was
+useful in showing the best mode of providing for the diurnal wants of
+families. Other hands have brought to a conclusion her original plans.
+The best attainable workers have contributed to this volume. Only those
+who knew the extent of the late Mrs. Beeton's design, will miss, in the
+pages now before them, "the touch of a vanished hand."

+[Illustration: Tatting Shuttle.]
+
+The needlework called Tatting in England, _Frivolité_ in French, and
+_Frivolitäten_ in German, is a work which seems, from all accounts, to
+have been in favour several generations ago. Modern ingenuity has
+discovered some ways of improving on the original plan of tatting, which
+was, indeed, rather a primitive sort of business as first practised. To
+Mrs. Mee, one of our most accomplished _artistes_ in all matters
+connected with the work-table, belongs, we believe, the introduction of
+the plan of working from the reel instead of the shuttle. By this
+alteration the advantage of the shuttle being constantly kept filled
+with cotton was gained, and the necessity also obviated for frequently
+joining the thread; and to Mdlle. Riego, equally distinguished in all
+details appertaining to the employment of the needle, ladies are
+indebted for an arrangement by which the same thread used in the making
+of the pattern is used for fastening the work. The old plan only
+provided for the working of the different portions which constituted the
+pattern, and then these portions had to be sewn together with a needle
+and thread. The ingenious workers on the Continent have also given much
+attention of late to the art of tatting, and our instructions now
+printed comprise what we consider the best mode of learning and doing
+this exceedingly interesting and fashionable work.
+
+[Illustration: Tatting Pin.]
+
+Tatting differs entirely from crochet, and is composed of stitches
+forming _knots_. It is intended as an imitation of point lace, and is
+especially used for trimming under-linen, on account of its strength.
+
+To make the stitches or knots a small instrument is used, called a
+_shuttle_. This shuttle consists of two oval pieces, flat on one side
+and convex on the other, and is made of wood or ivory.
+
+The two oval pieces are joined together by a strong cross-piece. The
+illustration shows the construction of the shuttle. These shuttles are
+made in ivory, pearl, tortoiseshell inlaid with pearl, and silver; they
+are also manufactured in coloured bone, black, red, and white. The best
+to work with are the pearl for a white shuttle, and the inlaid
+tortoiseshell for a black shuttle; the prices vary from sixpence to one
+shilling and two-and-sixpence each. In selecting a shuttle be careful to
+see that the ends close, as if dropped it soon becomes unthreaded, which
+is very inconvenient. The cotton intended for the work is wound round
+this shuttle, and the thickness of the cotton varies according to the
+style of work. It is better to use the proper tatting cotton, because it
+is stronger than the ordinary kinds; this is manufactured by Messrs.
+Walter Evans and Co. for the purpose. Their Boar's Head Cotton is also
+frequently used, and answers very well.
+
+
+_Shuttles._
+
+These are made in 3 sizes:--Finest, No. 1; No. 2, useful medium size;
+No. 3, the largest.
+
+
+_The Way to Hold the Hands._
+
+Take the shuttle in the right hand, between the thumb and second finger,
+and allow the forefinger to remain at liberty, and rest the under part
+of the shuttle _between_ the second and third and _on_ the middle
+finger. Place the thread round the three middle fingers of the left
+hand, so as to form a loop, keeping the second and third fingers a
+little apart, and bring the cotton again between the thumb and
+forefinger, letting the end fall within the palm of the hand, while the
+end of cotton which holds on to the shuttle passes over the thumb-nail.
+
+
+_To Make a Stitch._
+
+Keep the hands in the position above described; pass the shuttle at the
+back, through the loop--that is, between the second and third fingers.
+Take the end of the shuttle which comes out from the loop between the
+forefinger and thumb of the right hand, and strain the cotton very
+tightly towards the right. When the cotton is drawn through the loop,
+this cotton must not be impeded by the fourth finger; it should, on the
+contrary, slide over it, and be drawn tight. It should divide the loop
+into two parts. After this withdraw the second left-hand finger, which
+is _above_ the cotton, and pass it again under that cotton, so as to
+draw up the loop. A _half-stitch_ is thus formed, and must be tightened
+by being drawn closely to the forefinger and thumb of the left hand. For
+the remaining half of the stitch keep the hands in the same position,
+but, instead of letting the cotton fall over the thumb, pass this cotton
+over the back of the hand; then let the shuttle fall between the second
+and third fingers of the left hand, in front, and take it out again at
+the back, strain the cotton very tightly, withdraw the second finger
+from the loop, letting the cotton which is behind the hand sweep over
+the fingers. When this is done, guide with the unoccupied fingers of the
+left hand this second half-stitch up to the other, thus completing _one
+stitch_.
+
+
+_The Way to Make a Loop in Tatting._
+
+When a certain number of stitches are made, very tightly draw in the
+loop by straining the cotton until the first stitch touches the last,
+and thus a loop is formed. During this process the stitches should be
+held tightly between the forefinger and thumb.
+
+
+_The Way to Make a Purl._
+
+A _purl_ is a small loop of cotton often used as an edging in tatting,
+as, for instance, round the outer edge of the ovals in tatted insertion
+No. 2. The following is the easiest method of making a purl:--The
+stitches are not made quite closely together at the place where a purl
+is to be made; about one-sixth of an inch is left between each. This
+space is left free until the loop is made by uniting the stitches; then
+the small piece of cotton in the space bulges out between the stitches,
+and forms the purl. If several are required a small space is left
+between every two or three stitches, according to the desired number.
+Care must be taken in that case that the small pieces of cotton left be
+all of the same length, so that the purl may be perfectly even. The purl
+can also be made thus: At the same time with the end of thread take the
+tatting-pin or a very large darning needle or knitting needle in the
+left hand, so that the point may come out farther than the row of
+stitches; if then you wish to make a purl, throw the cotton on the pin
+before making the stitch; then fasten this stitch, and push it at once
+close to the preceding; the pin with the cotton should come above the
+stitches. Do not take out the pin before all the purl and all the
+stitches are completed and joined together.
+
+
+_Joining the Work._
+
+Place the tatting-pin in the loop that is to be joined, and with the
+hook draw the thread of the loop--that is, round the hand through
+it--pass the shuttle through this loop, and draw it up tightly close to
+the stitches.
+
+A "straight" or double thread is used to join various parts of the work,
+and forms very beautiful patterns. Without the straight thread we
+should be unable to imitate point lace patterns, or, indeed, to execute
+any designs but those composed of circles, ovals, &c. To use this
+straight thread 2 shuttles are required; they should be of different
+colours. Sometimes one end of thread is left attached to the reel
+instead of using the second shuttle. In commencing a loop the straight
+thread is held between the second and third fingers of the left hand,
+about 2 or 3 inches from the work; the other shuttle is held as usual in
+the right hand, and the stitches and purls worked with it upon the
+foundation of the straight thread of the second shuttle.

+plain (the purl must be very short); turn the purl downwards, 6 double,
+1 purl, * 6 double, 1 purl, 1 plain, which must all be turned upwards;
+then turn the work so that the upper edge is turned downwards; work 6
+double, fastened on to the last purl turned downwards (the fastening of
+the stitches is made with the thread in the right hand); a loop turned
+upwards is thus formed; turn the work downwards, draw the cotton in
+right hand underneath that in left hand, and work 6 double, 1 purl, 6
+double, all turned upwards; fasten these stitches on 1st purl turned
+downwards. In this pattern 1st of border pattern is thus completed;
+turn it downwards, 8 double, 1 purl, 8 double, 1 purl, 1 plain, turn
+work downwards, 6 double, fastened on last purl of last pattern, turned
+up. Repeat from *. When the insertion is of sufficient length, work the
+other half in same manner, and fasten it on the 1st half by means of
+purl stitches between the 8 double stitches twice repeated.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 40, or
+crochet cotton No. 20; tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+[Illustration: 11.--Tatted Insertion.]
+
+This insertion consists of 2 rows of three-branched patterns which lie
+opposite each other, and are joined by slanting rows of knots. A
+coloured silk ribbon is drawn through these rows which join the
+patterns. Each of the 3 branches of 1 pattern consists of 9 double, 1
+purl, 9 double, and must be worked close to another. When the 3rd branch
+is completed, fasten another piece of cotton on to the middle branch.
+Work 12 double over this 2nd piece of cotton, and then work without the
+2nd piece of cotton a 2nd three-branched pattern like the 1st.* Fasten
+the 2nd piece of cotton on to the middle branch of the just-finished
+pattern, work 12 double over it, then again a three-branched pattern;
+in this pattern as well as in the following ones, instead of working the
+purl of the 1st branch, fasten it on to the purl of the 3rd branch of
+the preceding three-branched pattern of the _same_ row, as can be seen
+in illustration. Repeat till the strip of insertion is sufficiently
+long.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 80;
+tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+[Illustration: 12.--Circle in Tatting.]
+
+Work first 8 ovals, each composed of 5 double stitches, 3 purl divided
+one from the other by 4 double stitches, 5 double stitches; these ovals
+are joined together by the purl at the sides, then the circle is
+tightened as much as possible, and the cotton with which you are working
+is twisted round the ends of cotton that have been cut: the cotton is
+then fastened off nearly underneath.
+
+Begin a fresh small oval, composed of 12 double stitches, which should
+be fastened to the preceding oval after 3 double stitches (to the purl
+in the centre of the first oval), then fasten it again to the purl which
+joins together the first and the second oval; leave a space of about
+one-fourth of an inch, and work an oval composed of 4 double stitches, 5
+purl, followed each by 2 double stitches, 4 double stitches. A very
+little farther off make a very small oval, composed of 8 double
+stitches, which after the four first double stitches is joined to the
+centre purl of the second oval, leaving the same space between as
+before, make another oval of 4 double stitches, 5 purl, each followed by
+2 double stitches, 4 double stitches; but the first purl is _missed_,
+because at this place the oval is joined to the fifth purl of the
+corresponding oval; once more leave a space of one-fourth of an inch,
+and repeat. At the end of the round the two ends of cotton are tied
+tightly together.

+
+This border, edged with beads No. 4, is worked in middling-size purse
+silk over fine silk cord of the same colour as the silk. Before
+beginning to work this pattern, thread the beads which take the place of
+purl stitches, and which are slipped in between two double stitches.
+When the row of stitches is of the length required, form the trefoil
+leaves, and sew a few beads over the places where they are joined. These
+trefoil leaves are made separately, and then sewn together.

+tatting-pin No. 3; any sized shuttle; for a finer insertion No. 18 or
+20.
+
+[Illustration: 14.--Insertion in Tatting.]
+
+1st oval: Fill the shuttle, but do not cut it off from the reel, as a
+double thread is used, and commence by working 10 double stitches, 1
+purl, 10 double, draw up.
+
+Double thread: Putting the thread attached to
+the reel round the left hand, work 8 double, 1 purl, 8 double.
+
+2nd oval: 10 double, join to purl of 1st oval, 10 double, draw up.
+Repeat till the length required is worked, then cut off.
+
+For the fresh length, which will make the other half of the insertion,
+the shuttle must still be attached to the reel. Commence by working--
+
+1st oval: 10 double, join to the purl which connects the first and
+second ovals of the piece already worked, 10 double, draw up. Double
+thread: 8 double, 1 purl, 8 double.
+
+2nd oval: 10 double, join to the same purl as last--namely, the one
+connecting the first and second ovals of the piece already worked, 10
+double, draw up. Repeat, joining the two next ovals to the purl which
+connects the two next in the piece already worked, and so on.
+
+Crochet a heading each side, working 7 chain, 1 double into the purl of
+double thread, repeat. With a heading on one side only, this makes a
+pretty wide edging.

+crochet cotton No. 80; tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+[Illustration: 15.--Border in Tatting and Crochet.]
+
+This lace is rendered stronger by the crochet rows of scallops and
+treble stitch round the edge. Begin with the tatting as follows: Make a
+circle of 8 double, 7 purl divided by 2 double, 8 double. This circle is
+repeated at a distance of about three-fourths of an inch, only instead
+of the 1st purl each following circle must be fastened on to the last
+purl of the preceding circle. Then take some crochet cotton, which must
+be finer than the cotton used for tatting, and work a row of double
+stitches over the thread which joins the circles. The number of stitches
+depends on the length and size of the cotton; work double stitches round
+the circles at the place where both ends meet. The outer row consists of
+treble stitches, which are worked with 1 chain stitch between, missing 1
+stitch under each chain. The scallops consist of the two following
+rows:--1 double, with which the last and first purl of 2 circles are
+joined, 4 chain; in each of the other purl, 1 double, 4 chain, between 2
+double stitches.
+
+2nd row: 1 double in each chain stitch scallop, 1 double, 3 long double,
+1 double.

+
+The patterns Nos. 18 and 19 are meant for ornamenting the veil No. 16.
+They are sewn upon the net at regular distances.
+
+For working the pattern No. 18, make with black silk or white cotton 6
+times alternately 2 double, 1 purl, at the end 1 purl, then join the
+stitch into a circle, *fasten the silk on to the next purl. Then 1 spot
+or Josephine knot, consisting of 6 plain stitches, carry the shuttle
+downwards through the loop, and draw the stitches close together; repeat
+3 times more from *. Fasten the silk on to the next purl, and work a
+circle as follows:--8 times 2 double, divided by 1 purl; fasten the silk
+on to the next purl, work again 1 spot, after which the silk is
+fastened, then work 2 more similar circles divided by 1 spot; they are
+fastened on to the last purl of the preceding circle instead of the 1st
+purl. Fasten off the silk after the last circle.
+
+For No. 19 work 25 double, divided by 1 purl, join the stitches into a
+circle, knot the beginning and the end of the cotton together, cut off
+the ends at a short distance. Then work a smaller circle, consisting of
+8 double, divided by 1 purl; at the place of the 1st purl fasten the
+cotton at a short distance on to the 2nd purl of the large circle. The
+ends of this circle are knotted together and cut off in the same way.
+Then work a circle consisting of 11 double, fasten the silk on to the
+20th purl of the large circle, work 5 double, and join the stitches into
+a circle. Then take the ends of the 3 circles, and work close fine
+stitches with silk round them, so as to form the stem. The completed
+pattern is sewn upon the net.

+
+20.--DIAMOND PATTERN.--Work, not far one from the other, four leaves,
+each composed of 5 double stitches, 7 rather long purl divided one from
+the other by 2 double stitches, 5 double stitches. Instead of making the
+1st purl in each of the 3 next leaves, fasten the cotton to the last
+leaf of preceding leaf. Fasten off and cut the cotton; begin a fresh
+circle by 2 double stitches, 7 purl divided by 2 double stitches, 2 more
+double stitches; fasten the cotton to the centre purl of one of the four
+leaves, and work a very small circle thus:--2 double stitches, fasten
+the cotton to the last purl of the first circle, 3 double stitches, 1
+purl, 2 double stitches; fasten the cotton * to the 6th purl of the
+leaf; work a larger circle thus:--2 double stitches fastened to the purl
+of the small circle, 2 double stitches, 4 purl divided by 2 double
+stitches, 2 more double stitches; fasten the cotton not far off to the
+second purl of the second leaf; work another small circle similar to
+that above-described; fasten the cotton to the third purl of the second
+leaf, then to the fourth purl of the same leaf, and repeat from * three
+times more, always fastening the first purl of the first circle you are

+last purl of the preceding circle, 5 times 2 double divided by 1 purl, 1
+purl, 5 double; a third circle as follows:--5 double fastened on to the
+last purl of the preceding circle, 3 times 2 double divided by 1 purl,
+1 purl, 5 double; the cotton is fastened a short distance further on to
+the second purl of the first worked small circle, which must be turned
+downwards; then turn the work so that the three circles which are joined
+together are turned downwards. Work another small circle as follows at
+the distance of two-fifths of an inch:--4 double, 1 purl, 4 double,
+leave again an interval of about two-fifths of an inch, and repeat from
+* till the lace is long enough; but in working the following figures,
+consisting of three circles, the 1st circle must be fastened on to the

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 80;
+tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+[Illustration: 23.--Insertion in Tatting and Lace Stitch.]
+
+This insertion forms a very pretty standing-up collar when worked with
+fine cotton and a coloured ribbon drawn through. It consists of 2 rows
+of 3 branched figures turned opposite one another, which are worked
+separately and then joined into a row. Work 9 times as follows:--2
+double, 1 purl, 2 double, * draw into a circle and * work at a short
+distance a 2nd circle as follows:--2 double fastened on to the last purl
+of the 1st circle, 8 times 2 double, 1 purl, 2 double, repeat once more
+from *, knot together the two ends of the cotton, and fasten them on the
+wrong side. One figure is thus completed; each following figure is
+fastened on to the preceding one on the middle purl of a circle (see
+illustration). When a sufficient number of such figures have been
+worked, work a 2nd row of them in the same manner, and fasten from
+illustration each middle circle of one figure on to the corresponding
+circle of the 1st row. The circles filled with lace stitch are worked
+when the 2 rows are completed from illustration in the empty places
+between 4 patterns; work first 3 double, fasten them on to a purl on the
+side of a leaf turned inside, * 3 double, fasten them on to a purl of
+the next leaf, repeat 5 times more from *, work 3 double, join the
+stitches into a circle, but not too close, so that the purls keep their
+natural position; cut off the cotton, and fasten the two ends on the
+wrong side. The lace stitch inside of these circles is worked with fine
+crochet cotton; the pattern may be changed for a single or double wheel.

+Begin by working separately a sufficient number of small rosettes, each
+composed of six ovals of double stitches and purl. These ovals are
+worked first in a straight row, then they are joined into a circle and
+united in the centre by button-hole stitches. The rosettes are joined
+together with fine cotton. The crochet border is then worked on either
+side in chain stitches and treble crochet, as seen in illustration.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 20, or
+crochet cotton No. 1; tatting-pin No. 2.
+
+This illustration shows the centre of a tatted couvrette in full size,
+and measuring 12 inches across. Separate rosettes like the pattern may
+be joined together with smaller ones, and form a very pretty couvrette.
+The pattern is worked in rounds. Begin the rosette with a circle,
+consisting of 4 double, 1 purl, 6 double, 1 purl, 6 double, 1 purl, 4
+double. Take up another shuttle, and work over the cotton on it, fasten
+the end on the last double of the circle and work over it, beginning
+close to the circle, 6 plain, 1 circle like the 1st worked with the 1st
+shuttle, and which is fastened on the last purl of the 1st circle at the
+place of the 1st purl; 6 plain, and continue to work so alternately till
+you have 7 circles divided by 6 plain stitches. Draw up very tightly the
+cotton over which you work, so that the circles form a rosette, which is
+closed by sewing together the two corresponding purl of the first and
+last circle. Both the ends of the cotton over which you have worked are
+knotted together. For the 2nd round, fasten the cotton on one shuttle on
+the middle purl of a circle, work a circle like those of the 1st round,
+take up the 2nd shuttle, and work on exactly as in the 1st round, only
+work 8 plain between the circles over the cotton on the 2nd shuttle. The
+2nd round consists of 15 circles; the cotton with which you work must be
+fastened at the required places on the middle purl of a circle of the
+preceding round. The 3rd and following rounds are worked in the same
+manner; the number of circles must be such as to keep the couvrette
+quite flat. In the pattern the 3rd round has 26 circles. Fasten the
+cotton well after each round.

+This very simple lace consists of scallops which look as if they were
+slightly gathered. It must be worked with tatting cotton. Each scallop
+consists of 5 plain, 1 purl, 5 plain, then alternately 5 purled
+stitches, draw up these stitches till the cotton between the 1st and
+last stitch is two-fifths of an inch long, and work a 2nd similar
+scallop at a short distance from the 1st. But in the following scallops
+fasten each to the last purl of the preceding scallop instead of working
+the 1st purl.

+
+[Illustration: 27.--Tatted Lace.]
+
+This pretty lace is worked with fine tatting cotton. Work with 2
+threads; the knots are worked over the cotton, which is held in the
+right hand. Work first the outer scallops of the lace
+
+Fasten both ends of cotton together and make 10 double, divided by 1
+purl, turn the work so as to turn the wrong side upwards, fasten the
+cotton over which you work on to the last purl, go back over the same
+row, miss 1 purl next to the cotton with which you work, 9 double
+divided by 1 purl, fastening the cotton over which you work on the next
+purl of the 1st row after every double stitch. This forms 1 scallop. *
+Turn the work downwards (that is, the purl stitch must be turned
+downwards), make 4 times 2 double, 1 purl, 1 purled stitch: this is the
+straight row between 2 outer scallops of the lace. Then work a scallop
+like the preceding one, fastening it from illustration after the first
+row on the middle one of the 9 outer purl of the preceding scallop, with
+the cotton over which you work; repeat from * till the lace is long
+enough, and fasten the cotton. Knot both ends together again, fasten the
+cotton over which you work on the first purl of the first scallop, make
+9 double, 1 short purl, 1 double, turn so that the upper edge of the row
+is turned downwards, and the scallops upwards, 5 double, fasten the 2
+middle purl of the 4 of the next straight row together by drawing the
+cotton, with which you are working through the 2nd purl, so as to form a
+loop, draw the cotton over which you work through this loop and draw up
+the latter; work 5 double, fasten the cotton over which you work on to
+the short purl worked after 9 double, turn the work so that the outer
+scallops of the lace are turned downwards, 10 double, fasten the cotton
+over which you work on the first purl of the next scallop, repeat from
+*, and fasten the cotton. After having fastened both ends together
+again, turn the work the right side upwards and the outer scallops
+upwards also, fasten the cotton over which you work on to the short purl
+which is under the first loop; * work 4 times 2 double, 1 purl, 2
+double, fasten the cotton over which you work on the purl under the
+next loop, and repeat from * till the lace is completed.

+tatting-pin No. 3; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s French embroidery
+cotton No. 60; square netting.
+
+[Illustration: 28.--Collar in Tatting and Darned Netting]
+
+The pattern is worked with very fine cotton; the netted grounding over a
+mesh measuring two-fifths of an inch round. The collar is ornamented
+round the outer edge with a tatted lace. Work a straight strip of
+netting for the grounding; begin with 2 stitches, work 18 rows backwards
+and forwards, increasing 1 at the end of each row, so that the last row
+has 19 holes; work 1 row without increasing; then continue to work with
+the same number of stitches, increasing 1 at the end of one row and
+decreasing 1 at the end of the other. When the strip is sufficiently
+long, work 1 row again without increasing or decreasing, and form
+the side by making 18 rows, decreasing 1 stitch at the end of each,
+cast off the 2 last stitches on 1 stitch without forming a new stitch on
+the needle. Trace the outline of the collar on the grounding with thick
+cotton, and begin to darn it from illustration. When the darning is
+completed work the tatted lace with the same cotton, as follows:--6
+double, 1 short purl, alternately, 3 times 3 double, 1 purl, 6 double,
+draw up the stitch so as to form a scallop leaving one-fifth of an inch
+between the first and last stitch; work a second scallop at a short
+distance from the first, and so on; every scallop is fastened on to the
+preceding one after the first 3 double stitches. Work a row of double
+overcast stitch between the darned netting and the tatted lace; work
+this row over the cotton tracing, marking the outline of the collar on
+the grounding and over the cotton between the tatted scallops. Work also
+a row of double overcast round the neck part, gathering in the collar a
+little if necessary. Cut away the netting on the wrong side close to the
+row of overcast stitches.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 40; fine
+mignardise braid.
+
+[Illustration: 29.--Mignardise and Tatting.]
+
+Patterns formed of mignardise and tatting are of quite new style, and
+look very pretty. The insertion is easy to work by the following
+process:--Make first a circle, as follows: 1 plain stitch, 2 double, 1
+purl, 6 double, 1 purl, 2 double, 1 plain; fasten the cotton on to one
+side of the mignardise, at the distance of about five-eighths of an
+inch, by taking 2 loops of it together; work a second circle at a short
+distance from the first, and so on. When the strip of insertion is
+sufficiently long, work in the same manner on the other side of the
+mignardise. This kind of work is destined to become very popular, and
+nothing can be more light and graceful than the union of mignardise and
+tatting.

+31.--_Tatting Insertion_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s cotton No. 30.
+
+The insertion shown in illustration No. 31 is composed in two similar
+halves. Begin the first in the following way:--10 double, 1 purl, 3
+double, 1 purl, 10 double, join the stitches into a circle, and work a
+second similar circle at a distance of one-third of an inch; instead of
+the 1st purl, draw the cotton through the 2nd purl of the first-worked
+circle; leave an interval of one-eighth of an inch, and repeat the two
+rounds till the insertion is sufficiently long. Then tat round the
+pieces of cotton which join the two rounds, work round the longest 10
+double, and round the shortest 4 double, inserting the shuttle
+alternately once upwards and once downwards, but for the rest proceeding
+as in the common button-hole stitch. When the first half is completed,
+work the second in the same way, and fasten it on to the first with the
+purl.

+32.--_Tatting Insertion_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s cotton No. 30.
+
+[Illustration: 32.--Tatting Insertion.]
+
+The pretty effect of the insertion shown in illustration No. 32 is
+obtained by means of longer and shorter purl. Work as follows:--Join 9
+double into a circle, 1 long purl, 3 double, 1 long purl, 4 double *.
+After an interval of five-eighths of an inch, begin the large figure of
+the pattern: 2 double, 1 small purl, 2 double, draw the cotton through
+the last purl of the small circle, 2 double, drawn through the 1st purl
+of the same circle, 2 double, 1 small purl, 2 double, 1 long purl, 2
+double, 1 small purl, 2 double, repeat 6 times more from *, and draw up.
+After an interval of five-eighths of an inch comes another small circle:
+4 double, draw the cotton through the last purl of the large figure, 3
+double, draw the cotton through the next long purl of the same figure, 2
+double, 1 long purl, 3 double, 1 long purl, 4 double. Repeat the pattern
+for the length of insertion required. The threads which join the small
+circles are worked over with 7 double in the manner described above,
+only the cotton at the principal figure must be left loose the width of
+a straw, so as to imitate a long purl. Complete the insertion from
+illustration by tatting round the small circles of 16 double on the
+other side (but in the contrary direction), form no purl, but draw the
+cotton through the long purl of the large figure; the threads which join
+the 2 circles are likewise drawn through the middle long purl of the
+large figure; this thread is then tatted over with 7 double, like the
+opposite outer edge.

+
+The square is composed first of nine 4-branched patterns, worked in 3
+rows of 3 patterns each, and joined on one to the other with purl. Each
+pattern consists of 4 branches close to each other, and each branch
+consists of 7 double, 1 purl, 7 double; when the 4 branches of one
+pattern are completed, cut off the cotton, and fasten both ends
+together so as to form a small circle in the centre. Then work a second
+pattern, which is fastened on to the first and second branches of the
+first pattern, instead of working the purl stitch; work a third pattern,
+which is fastened in the same manner on to the second pattern. Then work
+2 more rows exactly the same as can be seen in illustration.
+
+[Illustration: 33.--Tatted Square.]

+tatting-pin No. 2.
+
+[Illustration: 36.--Diamond in Tatting.]
+
+This diamond is suitable for trimming collars, cuffs, &c., when worked
+with fine cotton. Work first the four corner patterns separately, as
+follows:--7 double, 3 purl divided by 3 double, 6 double, join the
+stitches into a circle, work close to this circle a second one
+consisting of 6 double fastened on the last purl of the 1st circle, 4
+double, 2 purl divided by 4 double, 6 double; then a 3rd circle
+consisting of 6 double fastened on the last purl of the preceding
+circle, 3 double, 2 purl divided by 3 double, 7 double. Take a second
+shuttle, fasten the cotton on the end of the cotton of the 1st circle,
+throw the cotton of the 1st shuttle over the fingers of the left hand,
+and work with this cotton over the cotton on the other shuttle in the
+right hand. Work 5 double, and then one circle as follows with the
+cotton in the left hand only:--8 double fastened on the last purl of the
+3rd of the 3 circles worked close to each other, 5 double, 1 purl, 5
+double, 1 purl, 4 double, 1 purl, 6 double, then again over the cotton
+on the other shuttle, 5 double, 4 purl divided by 5 double, 5 double,
+then with one shuttle only one circle as follows:--6 double, 1 purl, 4
+double, 1 purl, 5 double, 1 purl, 5 double fastened on 1st purl of the
+circle worked at the beginning, 8 double; then again with two shuttles 5
+double. Fasten the cotton on the piece of cotton before the 5 double
+worked with two shuttles, so that the stitches worked over two shuttles
+form a circle, and cut off the cotton. When three of these patterns have
+been worked, work the centre pattern of the square. It consists of 4
+leaves touching each other at the lower points; each leaf is formed of 3
+double, 5 purl divided by 3 double, 3 double; each following leaf is
+fastened on to the preceding one at the place of the 1st purl. Then work
+first 1 round of the oval circles of the square, with which the corner
+patterns are joined. Fasten the cotton on one purl of one corner
+pattern, make 7 double, 1 purl, 8 double; fasten on the corresponding
+purl of another corner pattern, work 8 double, 1 purl, 7 double, join
+the stitches into a circle, fasten the cotton on to the same purl to
+which the cotton has already been fastened, carry the latter on to the
+next purl of the same corner pattern, fasten it, then work three more
+circles like the first, which are fastened on to each preceding circle,
+at the place of the first purl; fasten the cotton on the two cross purl
+of the centre pattern, and work four similar circles on the other side
+of the same. The 8 circles which go across the square in the opposite
+direction are worked in the same manner. When the square is completed,
+draw two threads on each side of each corner pattern on to the other
+side of the square along the cotton which joins the circles together.

+[Illustration: 37.--Tatting for Cap Crown.]
+
+This pattern is very pretty for the crown of a cap like the one
+described on page 36, and also for covers, toilet cushions, &c. The size
+of the cotton depends upon the use you wish to make of the pattern. The
+pattern is worked with fine tatting cotton. It consists of
+eight-branched rosettes joined together with small circles. Each rosette
+is worked as follows: Work 8 loops or branches close to each other,
+consisting of 7 double, 1 purl, 7 double; fasten both ends of the
+cotton together, and cut them off. Each of the small circles which joins
+the rosettes together consists of 2 double, 8 purl divided by 2 double.
+It is easy to see from the illustration how the patterns are joined
+together by means of the purl stitches.

+
+No. 39.--Border for Cap.--The upper part of the border consists of 4
+rows of circles worked at a distance of three-fifths of an inch from
+each other. The circles of the 1st row consist of 3 double, 3 purl
+divided by 3 double, 3 double. In the following 3 rows each circle is
+fastened on to the cotton, which joins 2 circles in the 1st row, instead
+of working the middle purl, the cotton between 2 circles in the last row
+must only be two-fifths of an inch long. Then work a certain number of
+six-branched rosettes, each branch consisting of 9 double, 1 purl, 9
+double. Each rosette is fastened on to every other circle of the
+
+1st row, as can be seen in illustration. The border is completed as
+follows:--* 1 double, 6 purl divided by 1 double, 1 purled stitch
+fastened on to the middle purl of a circle of the 1st row, 1 plain, 6
+purl divided by 1 double, join the stitch into a circle, turn the lace
+so that the rosettes are turned upwards, fasten the cotton on to the
+purl of the next branch of the next rosette, work 1 double, 7 purl

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 50;
+tatting-pin No. 2; crochet cotton No. 60.
+
+[Illustration: 40.--Lace in Tatting and Crochet.]
+
+The beauty of this lace depends entirely upon the regularity of the
+tatting. The purl stitches must be very regularly made, the circles must
+be drawn up tight. Make * 1 circle, consisting of 4 double, 8 purl
+divided by 2 double, 4 double; close to this circle a second one; 5
+double fastened on the last purl of the preceding circle, 8 times 2
+double divided by 1 purl, 1 purl
+
+5 double, close to the 2nd circle a third one similar to the first, but
+instead of working the 1st purl fasten it on the last purl of the
+preceding circle; leave an interval of about 1-2/5 inch, and repeat from
+* till the lace is sufficiently long. The rest is worked in crochet.
+Take the fine crochet cotton and work the straight row at the top to
+join the patterns together. Crochet 1 double in the 3 first and last
+purl of the first and last circle of one pattern, then a sufficient
+number of double stitches under the piece of cotton which joins 2
+circles. At the place where the circles are drawn together, join the two
+pieces of cotton (the beginning and the end) in such a manner that the
+top of the lace forms a straight line (see illustration). The 2nd row
+consists of 1 treble in every other stitch, 1 chain after every treble.
+Then work on the other side of the lace * a row of treble stitches
+divided by chain. The treble stitches are worked in the purl stitches of
+the circles. Work 1 long treble in the 1st purl left free of the 1st
+circle (4th purl of the circle), 3 chain, * 1 treble, 3 chain, 1 treble,
+3 chain, 2 treble in the next 2 purl, but cast off the 1st treble only
+so far as to keep 2 loops on the needle. When the 2nd treble is
+completed cast off all the loops on the needle, 3 chain, 5 treble
+divided by 4 chain, 3 chain, 2 treble in the 2 following purl, which are
+cast off like those above described, 3 chain, 2 treble divided by 3
+chain in the 2 next purl of a pattern, 1 chain, 1 long treble with which
+you must join the last purl and the first one of the next pattern, 1
+chain; repeat from *. The next row consists of small scallops worked
+round the chain stitch scallops of the preceding row; work in each 1
+double, 4 treble, 1 double, 1 double in the first and last chain stitch
+of every pattern.

+
+[Illustration: 41.--Insertion in Tatting and Crochet.]
+
+Begin the tatting with fine cotton and 2 shuttles. Work with the cotton
+on one shuttle over the cotton on the other in the following
+manner:--Knot the 2 ends of cotton together * 4 times 2 double divided
+by a short purl, 3 long purl divided by 1 double; the 1st and 3rd purl
+must be three-fifths of an inch long, the 2nd one two-fifths of an inch;
+4 times 2 double divided by a short purl, 1 purl two-fifths of an inch
+long; repeat from * till the strip of insertion is sufficiently long.
+Then work a similar row of tatting, and join the two rows before working
+the 1 long purl, by fastening the cotton on the corresponding long purl
+of the 1st row, so that the 2 rows are joined closely together, and the
+purl stitches of either are turned outwards. At the top and bottom of
+the tatting work the 3 following rows of crochet:--* 1 double in the
+middle one of the 3 long purl, 8 chain, 1 double in each of the 3
+following long purl, 8 chain; repeat from * to the end of the row. 2nd
+row. 8 double in each scallop, miss the 3 double stitches of the
+preceding row under 3 chain. The 3rd row consists of treble stitches in
+every other stitch, 1 chain after every treble. Lastly, the leaves are
+worked with thick cotton by filling up the first and last long purl of a
+pattern with darning stitch from illustration; the cross stitches
+between the two rows of tatting are worked with very fine cotton.

+
+42.--_Purse in Tatting and Beads_.
+
+Materials: Grey purse-silk; steel beads; scarlet glacé silk; a steel
+clasp with chain.
+
+This purse is worked in tatting with grey silk and beads. The beads are
+threaded on a piece of silk, with which you work over another piece of
+the same. Begin each of the second halves of the purse with the circle
+in the centre, which consists of 1 purled stitch, 1 purl (all the purl
+of this circle are three-tenths of an inch long, and are covered with
+six beads, which must be drawn up close together before working the
+purl), 12 double divided by 1 purl. Join the stitches into a circle by
+knotting together the two ends of the silk.
+
+2nd round: Begin again and work one of the small circles; * 2 double,
+draw up one bead after each, 1 double, 1 short purl without beads, 2
+double, 1 bead after each, 1 double, fasten the silk on the purl of the
+middle circle, so as to let it come between the 3rd and 4th bead of the
+6 beads on that purl; 2 double, 1 bead after each, 1 double, 1 short
+purl, 2 double, 1 bead after each, 1 double, join the stitches into a
+circle, draw up 2 beads; work a larger circle without fastening the silk
+belonging to the smaller one; 3 double, 1 bead after each, 1 double, 1
+purl with 4 beads, 3 double, 1 bead after each, 1 double; 1 short purl,
+3 double, 1 bead after each, 1 double, 1 purl with 4 beads, 3 double, 1
+bead after each, 1 double; draw up 2 beads close to this large circle
+and repeat from *. Each following small circle must be fastened on the
+next purl of the circle which forms the centre; they are also fastened
+on to each other, instead of working the 1st purl, by fastening the
+piece of silk over which you work on the preceding small circle; in the
+larger circles, instead of working the 1st purl with 4 beads, the piece
+of silk must be fastened on the last purl of the preceding circle, so
+that it comes between the 2nd and 3rd beads. At the end of the round,
+the ends of the silk are knotted together and fastened off.
+
+[Illustration: 42.--Purse in Tatting and Beads.]
+
+3rd round: * 3 double, 1 bead after each, 1 double, 1 short purl, 3
+double, 1 bead after each, 1 double fastened on the middle purl of the
+1st circle of the preceding round, 3 double, 1 bead after each, 1
+double, 1 purl with 2 beads, 3 double, 1 bead after each, 1 double; join
+the stitches into a circle, and work at a short distance a 2nd circle; 3
+double, 1 bead after each, 1 double, fastened on the last purl of the
+just-finished circle of this round, 3 double, 1 bead after each, 1
+double fastened on the purl of the preceding round which is between 2
+circles; the loop must come between the 2 beads; 3 double, 1 bead after
+each; 1 double, 1 purl with 2 beads; 3 double, with 1 bead after each; 1
+double; leave a small interval, and repeat 11 times more from *, then

+
+When two similar parts have been worked, line them with scarlet glacé
+silk; fasten them together round the outside, and sew on the clasp. A
+round of large circles edges the purse round the outside. The 1st of
+these circles consists of 12 double, 1 bead after each, 1 double, 1 purl
+with 2 beads, 4 double, 1 bead after each, 1 double. Work a 2nd circle
+at a short distance from the 1st: * 4 double, 1 bead after each, 1
+double fastened on the purl of the 1st circle of this round; 7 double, 1
+bead after each, 1 double, 1 purl with 2 beads, 4 double, 1 bead after
+each, 1 double; leave a short interval, and repeat from * till a

+cotton No. 60; tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+[Illustration: 43.--Insertion in Tatting and Crochet.]
+
+This pattern is composed of leaves and flowers. Each of the six leaves
+forming a circle is composed of 4 double, 2 purl, separated by 2 double,
+4 double (the first and last purl of each leaf must be joined in the
+manner before explained), and the centre of each circle forms a wheel.
+The flower has four leaves: each leaf consists of 6 double, II purl,
+separated each by 1 double, and again 6 double; each leaf is filled up
+with button-hole stitches in fine cotton. To form the circle in the
+centre of this flower, turn several times the thread which joins the
+leaves, and work button-hole stitches round it. Join the flowers and the
+circles by knotting them together, or by making 1 purl longer than the
+others, and by drawing the next figure through. The crochet border on
+each side of the tatting consists of six rows, which are plainly seen in
+the illustration.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 20 and 40.
+
+[Illustration: 44.--Border in Tatting and Lace Stitch.]
+
+This mixture of tatting and lace stitch is a style of work not only
+entirely new, but very pretty and effective when cotton of very
+different sizes is used. The tatting is begun with a row of circles
+two-thirds of an inch distant from each other; each circle consists of
+13 stitches of plain tatting. Fasten a 2nd row to the 1st, and a 3rd to
+the 2nd, by working a circle of 13 stitches of plain tatting at
+one-third of an inch distance, * then at the same distance; fasten the
+cotton on the next circle of the preceding row, work a circle at the
+same distance again, and repeat from *. The cotton is fastened on the
+circles by drawing it through the circle with a crochet-needle, so as to
+form a loop, and then drawing it out of the loop. Take care to keep the
+distance between 2 circles always the same. Between the circles of the
+3rd row draw another piece of cotton, by fastening the cotton on each
+circle of the 3rd row at distances of two-thirds of an inch. Then work
+the lower edge of the border in the following way:--1 small spot called
+a _Josephine knot_ (for which work 5 stitches of plain tatting, draw the
+cotton downwards through the loop which fastens the stitches, and draw
+up the whole), fasten the cotton between the next two circles of the 3rd
+row, * and a little further make a spot consisting of 8 stitches of
+single tatting, close to this a circle formed of 3 double, 9 purl
+divided by 2 double, 3 double; then again a spot of 8 stitches of plain
+tatting, turn the 2 last spots so as to make their round sides come
+opposite one another; fasten the cotton on again between the 2 next
+circles of the 3rd row. Then a little further off work 1 small spot (5
+stitches of plain tatting), 1 circle of 3 double, 1 purl, 2 double
+fastened on the last purl of the preceding circle, 2 double, 5 purl
+divided by 2 double, 3 double; then again a small spot (5 plain
+stitches), fasten the cotton on again between the next 2 circles of the
+3rd row, and repeat from *, always fastening each new circle to the
+corresponding purl of the preceding one. On the other long side, the
+border is completed by 2 rows of crochet. The 1st row is formed by
+working 1 double under the piece of cotton between 2 circles of the 1st
+row, with 5 chain stitches between.
+
+2nd row: 1 treble in every other stitch, 1 chain stitch after every
+treble. The strip of insertion is then tacked on a piece of cardboard or
+oil-cloth, and the lace stitches are worked between the circles, as is
+seen in illustration.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 30 for
+large rosette, No. 80 for small rosette; tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+This rosette forms a very pretty trimming for lingerie--cravats, caps,
+handkerchiefs, &c. The raised pattern in the centre consists of 4
+rounds, consisting of 5 circles each, which are sewn together and then
+fastened on the rosette. The 5 circles of each round must be worked
+close to each other: after working the last circle of each round, knot
+the beginning and end of the cotton together. Each circle of the
+smallest round has 9 double, the circles of the next round each 15, the
+circles of the following one 21, and the circles of the last and largest
+round 27 double stitches. When these circles have been sewn on one to
+another as in illustration, work a large circle consisting of 4 double,
+1 purl, 9 times alternately 5 double, 1 purl, then 1 double. The purls
+of this circle are fastened on to the circles of the next round of the
+rosette. Fasten the cotton on to the next purl of the middle circle, and
+work a circle as follows:--4 double, 1 purl, 4 double, 1 purl, 3 double,
+1 purl, 3 double, 1 purl, 4 double, 1 purl, 4 double. Repeat 9 times
+more from *, but now, instead of working the 1st purl of every circle,
+fasten it on to the last purl of the preceding circle. Then fasten the
+cotton. For the last round, which consists of scallops and rounds,
+fasten the cotton on to the middle purl of a circle of the preceding
+round, and work a circle consisting of 3 times alternately 4 double, 1

+Materials: Fine linen; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No.
+30 or 40; tatting-pin No. 2.
+
+[Illustration: 46.--Linen Bag for Tatting, &c.]
+
+This pretty linen bag is meant to keep tatting and such work from being
+soiled before it is completed. The bag is drawn together round the top.
+Its size depends upon what you wish to put into it. The original
+pattern is 3-3/4 inches deep, and 3 inches wide; it is hemmed round the
+top, and trimmed with a narrow tatted lace, consisting of large and
+small circles.

+47.--_Tatted Border._
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 40;
+tatting-pin No. 2.
+
+[Illustration: 47.--Tatted Border.]
+
+Begin this elegant border with 2 rows of tatting, in the following
+manner:--
+
+1st row: 2 double, 1 purl, 3 double, 1 purl, 3 double, 1 purl, 2 double;
+draw these stitches up into a circle, and repeat the circle at a very
+short distance, till the border is long enough; but instead of working
+the first purl of each circle, you must join the circle to the preceding
+one; the purl on the sides of the circle must therefore be longer than
+that in the middle.
+
+For the 2nd row take another shuttle, make a loop on the left side with
+the cotton, and work with this end of cotton over the cotton in the
+right hand, which is also to be held between the thumb and forefinger of
+the left hand. Then work in the following way:--2 double, then 1 circle
+consisting of 3 double, 1 purl, 3 double; to form this circle, let the
+cotton in the left-hand shuttle fall downwards, and make a loop round
+the left hand with the cotton on the shuttle of the right hand. Then
+take up again the left-hand shuttle, and join the circle to the middle
+purl of the 1st circle of the 1st row by drawing the cotton through the
+purl like a loop, and then drawing the cotton in the right hand through
+this loop. * 7 double, 1 circle, 7 double, joined to the middle purl of
+the next circle of the 1st row; 1 circle, 5 double, 1 circle joined on
+the middle purl of the following circle; repeat from *.
+
+The upper edge of the border is worked in 2 crochet rows, in the
+following manner:--
+
+1st row: * 2 treble, divided by 1 chain in the 1st circle of the 1st row
+of tatting; 2 chain; repeat from *.
+
+2nd row: * 1 treble in the 1st chain of the preceding row, 1 purl (3
+chain, 1 slip stitch in the 1st), miss 1 stitch of the preceding row
+under it; repeat from *.

+48.--_Rosette in Embroidery and Tatting._
+
+Materials for trimmings: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton
+No. 20; tatting cotton No. 50; tatting-pin No. 3. For couvrettes,
+crochet cotton No. 4.
+
+This rosette, joined to other similar ones, forms a very pretty trimming
+for articles of fine linen, or even for small couvrettes; if used for
+the former, they must be worked with very fine cotton. The centre of the
+rosette is formed of an embroidered raised pattern worked in _point de
+minute_; round this centre there are small circles worked in button-hole
+stitch; the embroidery is worked with knitting cotton, the circles with
+crochet cotton. Before beginning the circles, make a circle consisting
+of a foundation chain of 80 stitches, in order to be able to fasten the
+button-hole stitch; in each of the stitches of the foundation chain work
+1 double, then fasten the cotton. In the 2nd round of these circles
+fasten the cotton on every 5th stitch of the crochet circle. Work 1
+round of open-work treble stitch in the double stitch of the crochet
+circle, work in tatting the border of the rosette as follows in 1
+round:--* 2 double, 1 purl, 2 double, fastened on to 1 chain stitch
+between 2 treble stitch, 2 double; 1 purl, 2 double,; join these
+stitches into a circle; turn the work so that the wrong side lies
+upwards, and work a second larger circle at a short distance consisting
+of 4 double, 5 purl divided by 2 double, 4 double, turn again and repeat
+from *. The smaller circles must be fastened after every other treble
+stitch; the larger and smaller circles must be fastened above one
+another at the place of the 1st purl.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co's tatting cotton No. 60;
+tatting-pin No. 2.
+
+[Illustration: 49.--Linen Collar trimmed with Tatting.]
+
+The diamond pattern placed in the corner of the collar is commenced in
+the centre. For each of the four centre leaves work 6 double stitches, 6
+purl divided one from the other by 3 double stitches, then 6 more
+double stitches. Fasten off the cotton, cut it, and begin a fresh leaf
+by working 2 double stitches, 10 purl divided one from the other by 2
+double stitches, then 2 more double stitches. (This small leaf forms one
+of the corners of the diamond pattern.) Fasten the cotton to the fourth
+purl of one of the four centre leaves, and work another leaf similar to
+the preceding. Join this leaf by its two centre purl to the two last
+purl of the corner leaf (see illustration). After two more similar
+leaves, work one corner leaf, and continue the pattern in the same
+manner until you come back to the first corner leaf, then fasten off,
+and cut the cotton. Place the diamond pattern upon the point of the
+collar, and cut away the material under it; fold back the edges, sew
+them neatly, and cover them with the following crochet edging:--Make
+alternately 2 chain, 1 purl (the latter composed of 3 chain joined
+together by 1 slip stitch). It will be easy to work the circles in
+tatting from our illustration; they form an elegant border round the
+collar. We shall merely say that the centre circle is always worked
+separately, and that the cotton is fastened on afresh to work the eight
+outer leaves. The upper edge of this border is worked in crochet. It is
+composed of two rows--one formed of chain stitches, and a few slip
+stitches worked in the purl of the circles in tatting, the other worked
+in open treble crochet.

+to the next purl of the 2nd circle of the 2nd round; 6 similar circles,
+between each of which the cotton is to be fastened on to the nearest
+purl of a circle of the 2nd round; repeat once more from *, and knot the
+beginning and the end of the cotton together. When completed, the
+rosette is sewn on the material of the cravat with button-hole stitches,
+taking up one purl with each stitch; the muslin is cut away underneath
+the rosette; then work a round of knotted stitches underneath the
+button-hole stitch. For the lace, make a row of circles one-fifth of an
+inch distant from each other, consisting each of 6 double, 1 purl, 2
+double, 1 purl, 4 times 2 double divided by 1 purl, 1 purl, 2 double, 1

+52.--_Border in Crochet and Tatting_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Boar's Head cotton No. 26.
+
+This border is formed of circles in tatting and crochet leaves, which
+are joined together by rows of crochet work; a narrow
+
+[Illustration: 52.--Border in Crochet and Tatting.]
+
+border in tatting forms the lower edge. Omitting this edge, the border
+forms a strip of insertion. Each of the rosettes or circles is begun in
+the centre; work first 2 double (a double stitch is formed by passing
+the thread over the back of the hand, and then passing the shuttle
+upwards between the forefinger and second finger, and drawing it up,
+then work a stitch of plain tatting; this completes the double stitch,
+and whenever so many double stitches are directed it means the 2
+stitches), 1 purl, repeat 9 times, join the stitch into a circle, work
+at a small distance * a smaller ring consisting of 3 double, 5 purl,
+divided each by 2 double stitches, 4 double, draw the cotton through the
+purl of the first circle, and repeat 8 times more from *, only each
+following circle must be fastened on to a purl of the preceding circle
+after 3 double stitches, and having completed each circle the thread
+must be drawn through the purl of the first circle, which forms the
+centre of the rosette. The beginning and the end of the thread are
+knotted together. For the tatted border, make at short distances 1 loop
+with 5 double, 1 purl, 5 double; after having worked a sufficient number
+of such loops, wind another thread round the thread between the loops,
+turning always 1 loop on the right side and 1 on the left. Now begin the
+crochet part with the leaves. Make for each of these a foundation chain
+of 12 stitches, crochet back over this chain 2 double in the last stitch
+but one, 1 double in the next stitch, 1 treble in each of the following
+7 chain, 2 treble in the next stitch, 2 treble, 1 long treble, and 2
+treble in the next following stitch of the foundation chain. Work on the
+other side of the chain the same pattern, only the reverse way; then 3
+double in the point of the leaf thus formed, and edge the whole leaf
+with a round of double stitches, always working 2 double in each stitch
+of the preceding row, and 3 in the long treble stitch. In working this
+last round, the circles must be joined to the leaves by taking up the
+purl stitch of the circle before casting off the corresponding double
+stitch of the leaf; then work the stem which joins the 2 rows of circles
+and leaves with a row of chain stitches, on which a row of double is
+worked. Then comes the border which forms the upper edge. Make a row of
+chain stitches, joining leaves and circles together, then work 3 rows of
+treble, work 3 more rows over the tatted border, the first row entirely
+in chain stitches, after every fourth stitch take up the purl of the
+loops on one side. 2nd row: 1 treble in the middle stitch of the 3
+chain, 2 treble, divided by 3 chain. 3rd row: 1 treble, 1 chain, miss 1
+under the last. In the last row the leaves and circles must be fastened
+on the border, as seen in illustration.

+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 100;
+tatting-pin No. 1.
+
+This collar is worked with very fine tatting cotton. It consists of four
+branched tatted patterns and of separate tatted circles, fastened on to
+one another as seen in illustration. The four branched patterns are
+worked as follow:--3 double, 1 purl, 7 times alternately 2 double, 1
+purl, then 3 double, and join the knots into a circle. Work 3 similar
+leaves close to this 1st leaf, but instead of working the 1st purl,
+fasten them on to the last purl of the preceding leaf; besides this,
+instead of
+
+[Illustration: 55.--Tatted Collar.]
+
+working the last purl of the 4th branch, fasten it on to the first purl
+of the 1st branch. When 1 such four-branched pattern is completed, knot
+both ends of the cotton together and cut them off. Make a row of similar
+patterns by joining them on to the 2 middle purl of a branch of the
+preceding pattern, instead of working the 2 middle purl of the last
+branch (see illustration). Two rows of similar patterns are joined by
+the above-mentioned circles, consisting of 32 double stitches, by
+fastening these circles from illustration between four branched
+patterns. Begin each circle with 2 double stitches, fasten it on to the
+corresponding purl of the four-branched pattern, work again 2 double,
+fasten on to the next purl, and continue in the same manner till the
+circle is sufficiently large. Each circle is ornamented with lace
+stitch. The collar is edged round the neck with close button-hole
+stitches.

+58.--_Tatting Medallion for Trimming Lingeries, &c._
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 50 for
+cravats and collars, 100 for pocket-handkerchiefs, 20 for petticoats;
+tatting-pin No. 2 or 3.
+
+
+This pattern is suitable for trimming cravats, collars,
+pocket-handkerchiefs, petticoats, &c., according to the size of the
+cotton with which it is worked. Work first the round of circles which
+incloses the leaves, overlapping each other in the centre; begin with
+the smallest circle, which is at the top of the pattern; it consists of
+3 double, 1 purl, 7 double, 1 purl, 7 double, 1 purl, 3 double. Then
+work at a short distance another circle like the preceding one, only
+work 8 double instead of 7, and instead of working the first purl,
+fasten the circle on to the last purl of the preceding circle; all the
+other circles are fastened on to each other in the same manner. The next
+circle, worked again at a distance of about one-fifth of an inch, has 4
+double; fasten it on to the preceding circle, 9 double, 1 purl, 9
+double, 1 purl, 4 double. The following four circles are worked like the
+preceding one; only work in the first of these circles 10 double instead
+of 9, in the second 11 double, in the third 12 double. The piece of
+cotton which joins the circles together must also be somewhat longer
+between the larger circles. Then work a circle
+
+[Illustration: 58.--Tatting Medallion.]
+
+as follows: 5 double, fasten the cotton, 13 double, 1 purl, 13 double, 1
+purl, 5 double; then a similar circle, but always working 14 double
+instead of 13. The next circle consists of 6 double, fasten the cotton,
+15 double, 1 purl, 15 double, 1 purl, 6 double; the two following
+circles are worked in the same manner, working 16 double instead of 15.
+Then comes the largest circle of the round, which consists of 6 double,
+17 double, 1 purl, 17 double, 1 purl, 6 double. Work 11 circles more
+like the 2nd to 12th of those just described (the 13th circle forms the
+middle), only the order of sizes must be reversed, so that the round
+closes with the smallest circle. Then fasten both ends of the cotton
+together, so that the circles are joined into a circle. Then work round
+this row of circles another round, the circles of which must be of
+graduated sizes like those of the first round. Fasten the cotton on to
+the middle purl of the first small circle of the first round, and work
+one circle as follows:--3 double, 1 purl, 6 times alternately 2 double,
+1 purl, then 3 double; fasten the cotton on to the middle purl of the
+next circle, &c. The remaining circles are worked in the same manner,
+only they must be increased and decreased in size gradually like the
+circles of the first round; this is done by increasing or decreasing the
+number of purl, instead of working the first purl of every following
+circle, fasten it on to the last purl of the preceding circle. When the
+round is completed, fasten both ends of the cotton together. In the
+centre of the oval pattern, fasten 6 five-branched patterns of graduated
+size, which are worked in one piece. For the smallest of these patterns
+work first three circles, consisting of 5 double, 1 purl, 5 times
+alternately 2 double, 1 purl, then again 5 double (these circles must be
+close to each other; the second and third circles must, moreover, be
+fastened on to the last purl of the preceding circle). The cotton is
+then fastened on the first circle between the beginning and the end of
+the same, then work close to them two small circles, consisting of 6
+double, 1 purl, 6 double, fasten the cotton between the beginning and
+the end of the third circle. The other five-branched patterns are worked
+in the same manner at intervals of about three-tenths of an inch; but
+the separate circles of each pattern must become gradually larger. In
+the largest pattern the three large circles consist of 5 double, 1 purl,
+8 times alternately 2 double, 1 purl, 5 double; the two smaller circles
+consist each of 15 double, 1 purl, 15 double; the size of the other
+patterns can easily be worked from this; the cotton which joins these
+last together is covered by over-casting with a needle and thread, so as
+to imitate double stitches. The five-branched patterns are then fastened
+in the oval pattern; they must overlap each other to half way, as seen
+in the illustration.

+59.--_Tatted Diamond_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 40, or 80
+if required finer; tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+[Illustration: 59--Tatted Diamond.]
+
+This pattern is meant to ornament lingerie; it is worked with fine
+tatting cotton in the following manner:--Work a * circle consisting of 6
+double, 1 purl, 6 double, turn the circle downwards and work at a short
+distance another circle consisting of 5 double, 4 purl divided by 2
+double, 5 double; at a similar distance a circle of 5 double fastened on
+to the last purl of the preceding circle, 2 double, 5 purl divided by 2
+double, 5 double; then again a circle consisting of 5 double fastened on
+to the last purl of the preceding circle, 2 double, 3 purl divided by 2
+double, 5 double: fasten the cotton on to the first circle. Then turn
+the work so that the last three circles are turned downwards, leave an
+interval of at least three-fourths of an inch, and repeat three times
+more from *, fastening the circles on to each other from illustration.
+Knot together the beginning and end of the cotton, work button-hole
+stitches round the cotton which joins the circles, as shown in
+illustration. The purl stitches of the four middle circles of the
+diamond are knotted together.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+60.--_Tatted Cravat End_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 50;
+tatting-pin No. 3; 2 shuttles.
+
+This cravat end is given in full size. It is ornamented with a tatted
+medallion, edged with lace. The tatting is worked with tatting fine
+cotton and two shuttles. Make first the two rosettes which form the
+centre of the medallion, then the insertion-like part which edges the
+rosettes. The larger rosette is worked as follows:--Knot the cotton of
+both shuttles together and work with 1 shuttle only 1 circle consisting
+of 10 double, 1 purl one-fifth of an inch long, 10 double; * close to
+this circle, which is turned downwards, work over the cotton with the
+other shuttle, 1 double, 1 purl, 8 double; this forms one of the
+scallops joining two circles. Then turn the work again and work close to
+the just completed scallop another circle like the first, but which is
+joined to the first circle instead of working the purl. Repeat 4 times
+more from *. Then work another scallop and fasten both ends of cotton on
+to the cotton over which the first scallop has been worked, at the place
+where the scallop is joined to the first circle. The first round of the
+rosette is thus completed. Work then the 2nd round over the cotton on
+the 2nd shuttle, beginning to work where the two ends of cotton have
+been fastened, * 6 double, 1 purl, 5 double, fastened on to the purl of
+the next scallop of the preceding round, 5 double, 1 purl, 6 double
+fastened on to the cotton between two scallops of the
+
+[Illustration: 60.--Tatted Cravat End.]
+
+preceding round; repeat 5 times more from *. The larger rosette is now
+completed. The smaller rosette is worked like the first, only without
+the second round. The insertion-like border is worked in two halves as
+follows:--The half which touches the edge of the medallion is worked as
+follows:--Knot both ends of cotton together and *, work with 1 shuttle
+only 1 circle consisting of 8 double, 1 purl one-fifth of an inch long,
+8 double; turn the circle downwards and work close to it over the cotton
+on the 2nd shuttle 6 double, 1 purl, 6 double; this forms a scallop of
+the border. Then turn the work again and work close to the scallop
+another circle like the first, but which is fastened on to the first
+circle instead of working the purl. Turn the work again, work a scallop
+like the preceding one, and repeat 15 times more from *, only the
+scallops at the lower edge of the medallion must have a few double
+stitches more, as can be seen in illustration. After working the last
+scallop fasten the two ends of the cotton on to the 1st circle; then cut
+them off. The second inner half is worked like the first; only the
+circles are worked without any purl stitch, and fastened on to the
+circles of the first half from illustration; the scallops of this half
+are somewhat smaller; each consists of 5 double, 1 purl, 5 double. The
+completed border is sewn on to the rosettes from illustration; the
+different pieces must be first fastened on cardboard. The cotton must be
+wound several times round the long threads, as seen in illustration. The
+medallion is then sewn into the muslin at the top only; the remaining
+border is edged, before joining it to the muslin, with a straight row of
+knots to be worked over cotton, and fastened on to each outer scallop of
+the border at regular intervals. The number of double stitches between
+two purl is different, as distinctly seen in illustration. For the lace
+knot both ends of cotton together, * work with one shuttle only 1 circle
+consisting of 8 double, 1 purl, 8 double; turn the work and make
+another circle consisting of 2 double, 9 times alternately 1 purl, 2
+double; then fasten this circle on to the preceding one, where it has
+been joined into a circle, so that both circles meet as seen in
+illustration. After having turned the work again, work 9 double over the
+cotton on the 2nd shuttle, which form a scallop between the circles, and
+repeat from *. The lace is then sewn round the edge of the muslin.

+61.--_Rosette in Tatting and Embroidery_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 60, or No.
+40 if desired in a larger size.
+
+[Illustration: 61. Rosette in Tatting and Embroidery.]
+
+This rosette is suitable for ornamenting lingeries, cravats, &c. It is
+worked in white embroidery and lace stitch, and edged all round with a
+tatted lace. For the latter work with very fine cotton * 1 large circle,
+consisting of 5 double, 1 purl, 7 times alternately 2 double, 1 purl,
+then 5 double. At a short distance from this circle work a smaller one,
+consisting of 5 double fastened on to the last purl of the large circle,
+5 double. Leave again an interval as small as the last, and repeat from
+* 11 times more. But in working the large circles, instead of working
+the 1st purl, fasten them on the same purl of the large circle on which
+the small circle has been fastened; besides this, in working the last
+(12th) large circle, instead of working the last purl, fasten it on the
+1st purl of the 1st circle; the last small circle is fastened on to the
+same purl. The lace is thus joined into a circle, and is sewn round the
+outside of the rosette with button-hole stitches.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 60;
+tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+[Illustration: 62.--Cravat End in Tatting.]
+
+The illustration shows the end of a tatted cravat. Work first the middle
+row of the cravat at the same time with the row of circles on the left
+side of the middle row in illustration; begin with the first circle of
+the middle row. It consists of 7 times alternately 3 double, 1 small
+purl, then 3 double. Work close to this circle, which must be turned
+downwards, a Josephine knot, consisting of 5 plain stitches, then a
+circle consisting of 5 double, 1 purl one-fifth of an inch long, 5 times
+alternately 3 double, 1 small purl; 3 double, 1 long purl, 5 double.
+*Turn this circle (which is the first of the side row) downwards, work
+close to it a Josephine knot, then a circle consisting of 12 double, 1
+small purl, 12 double. Turn this circle downwards, work a Josephine
+knot, and then again a circle like the first of the side row, but
+instead of working the first long purl, fasten it on to the last purl of
+the preceding circle of the same row. Then hold the work so that the
+circles of the side row are turned downwards, work a Josephine knot, 1
+circle like the first circle of the middle row, turn the work, make 1
+Josephine knot, and then a circle like the second circle of the side
+row. Repeat from * till the cravat is sufficiently long. The last circle
+of the middle row must correspond to the first circle of the same row.
+Then begin to work the lower edge at the same time with the last circle
+of the middle row, * 1 Josephine knot, then a circle like the circles of
+the side row, again 1 Josephine knot, fastened on to the next purl of
+the last circle of the middle row; repeat 3 times more from *. Then
+continue as before, and work on the right side of the middle row a row
+of circles exactly like those which have been worked at the same time
+with those of the middle row.
+
+The fastening on of the cotton between two Josephine knots is seen in
+illustration. The circles at the other end of the cravat are fastened
+like those of the first-described end. The cravat is edged all round
+with a row of circles with Josephine knots worked exactly like those of
+the preceding row, and the manner of fastening which is seen in the
+illustration.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 60, or 40
+if required larger; tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+[Illustration: 63.--Rosette in Tatting and Embroidery.]
+
+The centre of this rosette is worked in lace stitch on muslin, edged
+round with button-hole stitch and trimmed with a tatted lace, which is
+worked at the same time with the centre. Work first * a small circle
+consisting of 5 double, 1 purl, 3 double, fastened on to the button-hole
+stitch edging of the rosette, then 3 double, 1 purl, 5 double. Then turn
+the just-completed circle downwards, and afterwards work at a short
+distance a large circle consisting of 7 double, 6 times alternately 1
+purl, 2 double, lastly 1 purl, 7 double, then 1 Josephine knot
+consisting of 7 plain. Then turn the work again, so that the last large
+circle is turned downwards, and repeat from * 12 times more; the large
+and small circles must be fastened on to one another, as seen in
+illustration. The fastening of the small circles on to the centre is
+likewise done from the illustration.
+
+64.--_Cravat End in Tatting and Darned Netting_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 50;
+tatting-pin No. 3; square of netting; fine Mecklenburg thread No. 80.
+
+[Illustration: 64.--Cravat End in Tatting and Darned Netting.]
+
+The end of this cravat is ornamented with a square of darned netting,
+edged with a tatted border, and sewn on to the material of the cravat.
+But the diamond in tatting (page 18), or the square (page 31) will look
+very pretty with this border. The square is worked in diamond netting,
+and has seven holes in length and breadth. They are darned in linen
+stitch, darning stitch, and _point d'esprit_, with Mecklenburg thread.
+The ground is worked over a mesh measuring three-tenths of an inch
+round. For each square one more row than is needed must be worked, and
+the cast-on stitches are cut off, as they are longer than the stitches
+of the other rows. The tatted border is worked with fine tatting cotton.
+Fasten the cotton at one corner of the square and work * a circle
+consisting of 7 double, 1 purl, then six times alternately 2 double, 1
+purl, 7 double, fasten the cotton on to the same stitch of the ground
+where it was first fastened; #work a second circle like the
+first, but fasten it, instead of working the first purl on to the last
+purl of the preceding circle; fasten the cotton again on to the same
+stitch, then on to the next stitch, and work a small circle, consisting
+of 5 double fastened on to the last purl of the preceding circle, 4
+double, 1 purl, 5 double. The cotton is fastened on to the same netted
+stitch as before, and then on to the next stitch; repeat twice more from
+#, and then repeat from * in all three times more, so that the
+square is edged all round. It is sewn into the material from the
+illustration.

+65.--_Tatted Antimacassar. (See pages_ 574-5.)
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Boar's Head cotton No. 30, or
+tatting cotton No. 24, or for a larger size tatting cotton No. 20;
+tatting-pin No. 1; large shuttle.
+
+The illustration shows the fourth of the antimacassar and the whole of
+the rosette which forms the centre. Begin with the latter, with the
+five-branched pattern in the centre, at the same time with the following
+round of circles:--*Work first one circle of this round, consisting of 3
+double, 1 purl, 4 times alternately 2 double, 1 purl, 3 double; then at
+a short distance a circle like the one just made, in which, however,
+instead of working the first purl, the cotton must be joined on to the
+last purl of the preceding circle. Then work at a short distance the
+first leaf of the five-branched pattern, which consists of 4 double, 1
+purl, 4 double. When this branch is completed, repeat at a short
+distance 4 times more from *; but in working the branches of the
+five-branched pattern, instead of working the purl, join it on to the
+purl of the first branch of the five-branched pattern (this purl forms
+the centre of the pattern). All the circles must also be joined one to
+each other, as can be seen from illustration. Then work the scallops
+round the border of the rosette, * fasten the cotton on to the purl
+which joins the two next circles of the preceding round, and work one
+scallop consisting of 11 times alternately 2 double, 1 purl, then 2
+double. Repeat 9 times more from *. When the rosette is completed, work
+eight rosettes in the same manner and join them into a circle from
+illustration by means of small three-branched patterns, and then join
+them on to the middle rosette.
+
+The strip of insertion which comes next is worked in two halves as
+follows:--Work first, for the half turned towards the centre, two rows
+of circles lying opposite each other; begin with one of the largest
+circles, consisting of 4 double, 1 purl, 3 times alternately 2 double, 1
+purl, then 4 double; * at a short distance work a smaller circle of 4
+double, 1 purl, 4 double; after another short distance, a circle like
+the first joined on to it; then again a smaller circle, which at the
+place of the first purl is joined on to the purl of the preceding small
+circle. A short distance from this work again one of the larger circles
+just described, which is fastened on to the preceding similar circle;
+then repeat from * till the double row has nine larger and eight smaller
+circles. The first half of the strip of insertion is completed; the
+second outer half is worked like the first, only the small circles must
+here be worked without any purl, and two of them together must always be
+fastened on to the two joined small circles of the first half, as was
+done for the five-branched pattern of the rosette; besides this, each of
+the large circles has 4 double, 1 purl, 4 times alternately 2 double, 1
+purl, then 4 double. When eight similar patterns have been worked, join
+them into a circle from illustration by means of small rosettes; this
+circle is then joined to the already-finished part of the cover. The
+small rosettes and remaining patterns of the antimacassar are easily
+worked from illustration. The completed patterns are joined together in
+the course of the work.

+
+EMBROIDERY
+
+
+INSTRUCTIONS.
+
+
+The art of embroidering with cotton on linen, muslin, cambric, piqué,
+&c., is very easy to learn by strictly attending to the following
+instructions.
+
+The size of the thread and needle must correspond to that of the
+material on which you embroider; the needle must not be too long, and
+the cotton must be soft. Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s embroidery
+cotton is the best. Skilful embroiderers never work over anything,
+because when you tack the material on paper or cloth each stitch shows,
+and if the material is very fine, leaves small holes; but for those that
+are learning we should advise them to tack the material to be
+embroidered upon a piece of _toile cirée_. If you work without this,
+place the material straight over the forefinger of the left hand; the
+material must never be held slantways. The three other fingers of the
+left hand hold the work; the thumb remains free to give the right
+position to each stitch. The work must always, if possible, lie so that
+the outline of the pattern is turned towards the person who works. For
+the sake of greater clearness one part of the following illustrations is
+given in larger size than nature. Preparing the patterns is one of the
+most important things in embroidery, for the shape of the patterns is
+often spoiled merely because they have not been prepared with sufficient
+care.
+
+
+[Illustration: 66.--Scallop.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 66 shows how to prepare a scallop. Take thicker cotton than
+that with which you work; never commence with a knot, and do not take a
+thread longer than sixteen or eighteen inches. The outlines of the
+scallops are first traced with short straight stitches. In the corners
+particularly the stitches must be short. The space between the outlines
+is filled with chain stitches, as can be seen from illustration; they
+must not be too long, otherwise the embroidery will look coarse. It is
+in this way that every pattern to be worked in button-hole or satin
+stitch is to be prepared.
+
+
+[Illustration: 67.--Double Overcast Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 67 shows the double overcast stitch or button-hole stitch
+in a straight line. After having traced the outline begin to work from
+left to right; fasten the cotton with a few stitches, hold it with the
+thumb of the left hand under the outline, insert the needle downwards
+above the outline, draw it out under the same above the cotton which you
+hold in the left hand, and draw it up. Repeat for all the stitches in
+the same manner; they must be regular and lie close to one another.
+Great care should be taken that the material on which you embroider is
+not puckered.
+
+
+[Illustration: 68.--Overcast Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 68 (_Overcast Stitch_).--The double overcast and the
+button-hole stitches are worked from left to right, whilst back
+stitches, knotted and satin stitches are worked from right to left. The
+stitch is worked in the same way as the double overcast, only the needle
+must never be drawn out _above_, but _below_, the cotton with which you
+work, and which you keep down with the thumb of the left hand.
+
+
+[Illustration: 69.--Slanting Overcast Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 69.--The slanting overcast stitch is worked without tracing
+the outline, always inserting the needle downwards--that is, from top to
+bottom. The needle must be inserted in the manner shown in
+illustration--that is, not straight, but slanting; insert it a little
+farther than the last stitch, and draw it out close to it. The wrong
+side of the work must show back stitches. This sort of stitch is used
+for the fine outlines in patterns or letter.
+
+
+[Illustration: 70.--Back Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 70.--This shows the back stitch, the working of which is
+well known; it is worked in several rows close to each other.
+
+
+[Illustration: 71.--Point Croisé.]
+
+[Illustration: 72.--Point Croisé.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 71 & 72 show another kind of back stitch, called _point
+croisé_, which is only used on very thin and transparent materials. This
+stitch forms on the wrong side a sort of darned pattern, which is seen
+by transparence on the right side, and gives the embroidered pattern a
+thicker appearance, contrasting with the rest of the work (see the lower
+leaves of the flower on illustration 110). For this stitch insert the
+needle into the material as for the common back stitch, draw it out
+underneath the needle on the opposite outline of the pattern, so as to
+form on the wrong side a slanting line. Insert the needle again as for
+common back stitch; draw it out slanting at the place marked for the
+next stitch on the opposite outline, as shown in illustration 71.
+
+
+[Illustration: 73--- Knotted Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 73 shows the knotted stitch; the simplest way of working it
+is to work two back stitches at a short distance from each other over
+the same thread.
+
+
+The knotted stitch seen in ILLUSTRATION 74 is worked thus:--Take about
+four threads of the material on the needle, draw the needle half out,
+wind the cotton twice round the point of the needle, hold it tight with
+the thumb, draw the needle out carefully and insert it at the place
+where the stitch was begun, and draw it out at the place where the next
+stitch is to be worked.
+
+[Illustration: 74.--Knotted Stitch.]
+
+
+[Illustration: 75.--Knotted Stitch]
+
+The knotted stitch seen on ILLUSTRATION 75 is worked in nearly the same
+manner as the preceding one. Before drawing the cotton out of the
+material hold it tight with the left-hand thumb; leave the needle in the
+same position, wind the cotton twice round it, turn the needle from left
+to right, so (follow the direction of the arrow) that its point arrives
+where the cotton was drawn out (marked by a cross in illustration),
+insert the needle there, and draw it out at the place of the next
+stitch.
+
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 76 & 77.--Raised satin stitch is principally used for
+blossoms, flowers, leaves, letters, &c. After having traced the outlines
+of the pattern, fill the space left between them with chain stitches in
+a direction different from that in which the pattern is to be
+embroidered; begin at the point of the leaf, working from right to left,
+make short straight stitches, always
+
+[Illustration: 76.--Raised Satin Stitch.]
+
+inserting the needle close above the outline and drawing it out below.
+The leaves on the flowers, as well as on the branches, must be begun
+from the point, because they thus acquire a better shape. If you wish to
+work a leaf divided in the middle, as seen in illustration 77, you must
+trace the veining before you fill it with chain stitches, then begin at
+one point of the leaf and work first one half and then the other.
+
+[Illustration: 77.--Raised Satin Stitch.]
+
+
+[Illustration: 78.--Point de Plume.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 78 shows the so-called _point de plume_ on a scalloped
+leaf. It is worked like the satin stitch, only the needle is drawn
+through the material in a slanting direction.
+
+
+[Illustration: 79.--Point de Minute.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 79 (_Point de Minute_).--This stitch is often used instead
+of satin stitch when the patterns must appear raised. Wind the cotton
+several times round the point of the needle, which is inserted into the
+material half its length (the number of times the cotton is to be wound
+round the needle depends on the length of the pattern), hold fast the
+windings with the thumb of the left hand, draw the needle and the cotton
+through the windings, insert the needle into the material at the same
+place, and draw it out at the place where the next stitch is to begin.
+
+
+[Illustration: 80.--Ladder Stitch.]
+
+[Illustration: 81.--Ladder Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 80 & 81 show the _ladder stitch_, often used in ornamental
+embroidery. Trace first the outlines as seen in illustrations; mark also
+the cross stitches between the outlines, so that the first touch the
+outlines only at both ends. The outlines are embroidered in overcast
+stitch or double overcast; the material is cut away underneath the
+ladder stitch between the outlines.
+
+We have now shown the different kinds of stitches used in embroidery;
+the following illustrations show them used for different patterns.
+
+

+
+[Illustration: 83.--Button-hole Stitch Scallop.]
+
+[Illustration: 84.--Button-hole Stitch Scallop.]
+
+[Illustration: 85.--Button-hole Stitch Scallop.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 82 TO 85 (_Different Button-hole Stitch Scallops_).--These
+scallops are prepared as above described. Take care to have the stitches
+even and regular; the scallops must be wide in the centre and very fine
+at both ends.
+
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 86 & 87 (_Button-holes and Eyelets_).--This kind of
+embroidery is used only in round or long patterns. Trace first the
+outline of the hole, cut away a small round piece of material, not too
+close to the outlines (when the button-hole is very small merely insert
+the point of the scissors or a stiletto into the material), fold the
+edge of the material back with the needle, and work the hole in overcast
+stitch, inserting the needle into the empty place in the centre and
+drawing it out under the outline. Some button-holes are worked
+separately; sometimes they are in a row; if so, take care to begin to
+work each button-hole at the place where it touches the next. In the
+following button-holes the outside must be traced double, so as to reach
+as far as the next one, but each button-hole is finished at once.
+Illustration 86 shows a button-hole worked round in button-hole stitch,
+87 an eyelet-hole worked in overcast.
+

+
+[Illustration: 89.--Shaded Button-hole.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 88 & 89.--Shaded button-holes are worked like the others,
+only they are prepared, as can be seen in illustration 89, so as to mark
+the thickness. The stitches must gradually get narrower or wider, and be
+worked very close to each other.
+
+
+[Illustration: 90.--Leaf in Raised Satin Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 90 & 91 (_Two Leaves in Raised Satin Stitch_).--In a leaf
+like the one seen in 90 work first the outline and veining in overcast
+stitch; work one half of the leaf in satin stitch, and the other half
+between the overcast outline and veining in back stitch. The stem of a
+leaf is always worked last.
+
+[Illustration: 91.--Leaf in Raised Satin Stitch.]
+
+
+[Illustration: 92.--Raised Leaf.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 92 & 93 (_Two Leaves in Satin Stitch and Point de
+Plume_).--For leaves like the one seen in 93 begin with the veinings,
+then work the inner points, then the outer ones, and lastly the raised
+spots in the centre. The leaf seen in 92 is worked, one half in _point
+de plume_, the other half in back stitch or _point d'or_.
+
+[Illustration: 93.--Raised Leaf.]
+
+
+[Illustration: 94.--Leaf.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 94.--- The outline of this leaf is embroidered in overcast
+stitch; the open-work veining consists of eyelets; one half of the leaf
+is worked in back stitch, the other half in a kind of satin stitch
+worked without chain stitches underneath; the stitches are worked
+across the leaf, leaving between two stitches an interval as wide as the
+stitch itself. The next row is then worked in these intervals, and each
+stitch begins half-way up the one before and after it.
+
+
+[Illustration: 95.--Leaf Raised.]
+
+[Illustration: 96.--Leaf Raised.]
+
+[Illustration: 97.--Raised Leaf.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 95 to 97 (_Leaf in Raised Embroidery).--This kind of
+embroidery is particularly beautiful, as it is worked separately and
+sewn on the material with an outline in very fine cotton, this produces
+the shade seen in 95 (see also illustrations 98 to 113). For such leaves
+work first one half in overcast and satin stitch (illustration 96); the
+other half is worked on a separate piece of material (see illustration
+97); cut away the material along the overcast outline, and fasten it on
+the foundation material along the outline which forms the veining on
+illustration 96.
+
+
+[Illustration: 98.--Raised Embroidered Leaf.]
+
+[Illustration: 99.--Half of Leaf (98).]
+
+[Illustration: 100.--Centre of Leaf (98).]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 98 TO 100 show a similar leaf; both halves are worked
+separately (see 99); the centre is worked in open lace stitch. The
+latter (see No. 100) is traced, then make ladder stitches across, work
+the outlines in overcast stitch, and cut away the material underneath
+the ladder stitch. The cross stitches are then worked in darning stitch
+with very fine cotton wherever two threads meet.
+
+
+[Illustration: 101.--Blossom in Satin Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 101 (_Blossom in Satin Stitch_).--The eyelet is worked in
+overcast stitch, then work the upper part of the blossom all in one
+piece as far as the beginning of the veining, thence the blossom is
+worked in two halves.
+
+
+[Illustration: 102.--Blossom in Satin Stitch.]
+
+[Illustration: 103.--Bead partly covered.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 102 & 103 (_Blossom in Satin Stitch_).--The raised centre
+of this flower is formed by a bead, over which the embroidery is worked.
+When the leaves have been worked one after the other, place a bead in
+the centre, left free in such a manner that one hole lies on the
+material, and work over the bead by inserting the needle into its upper
+hole, then underneath the material, drawing it out above the material
+close to the bead, and so on (see 103).
+
+
+[Illustration: 104.--Star in Satin Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 104 (_Star Pattern in Satin Stitch_).--The centre, which
+forms a wheel, is worked first. Draw the threads across the circle
+marked by an outline; in the centre they are wound round, always taking
+one thread _on the needle_ and leaving the next thread _under the
+needle_, as can be seen in 122 on the half-finished pattern. The
+material underneath the wheel is only cut away when the rest of the
+pattern has been embroidered.
+
+
+[Illustration: 105.--Star in Point de Reprise.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 105 & 106 (_Patterns in Back, Satin, and Ladder

+
+
+[Illustration: 107.--Flower in Satin Stitch.]
+

+
+
+[Illustration: 117.--Flower appliquéd on Net.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 116 & 117 (_Flower worked in Appliqué_).--To work in
+appliqué, two materials, either similar or different, are needed. You
+can work either in appliqué of muslin on muslin, or of muslin on net, or
+of net on net. Muslin on Brussels net is the prettiest way of working in
+appliqué; we will therefore describe it: the other materials are worked
+in the same manner. Trace the pattern on the muslin, fasten the latter
+on the net, and trace the outlines of the pattern with very small
+stitches work them in overcast stitch with very fine cotton, taking care
+not to pucker the material. The veinings are worked in overcast. When
+the pattern has been embroidered cut away the muslin round the outlines
+with sharp scissors, so that the net forms the grounding (see No. 117).
+The greatest care is required in cutting out the muslin to avoid
+touching the threads of the net.
+
+
+[Illustration: 118.--Border.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 118 & 119 (_Narrow Borders_).--It will be easy to work
+these borders from the above instructions. Observe only that on border
+118 the outer row of scallops is worked first, then the button-hole
+stitch row, and the rest afterwards. The spots are edged all round in
+knotted stitch. The wheels in the centre of the eyelets of No. 119 are
+worked with very fine cotton in loose button-hole stitch; they are wound
+round with the cotton in a second row.
+
+[Illustration: 119.--Border.]
+
+
+[Illustration: 120.--Insertion.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 120 TO 122.--Three strips of insertion, which are worked
+nearly like the ladder stitch. For No. 120, in tracing the outlines,
+make two small knots at short distances by winding the cotton four times
+round the needle, as can be seen in illustration; the windings are held
+down with the thumb of the left hand, draw the needle through, and a
+knot is formed. The outlines are worked in button-hole stitch only when
+all the knots have been made, and then the material is cut away
+underneath.
+
+Illustration 121 is a variety of the slanting ladder stitch.
+
+Illustration 122.--The cross threads are worked in two rows in the
+common herring-bone stitch, as can be seen by the black lines on the
+illustration. The straight lines at the top and at the bottom are worked
+in double overcast; lastly, the wheels are worked in a row as described
+for the star pattern, No. 104.

+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 123 To 129 (_Embroidered Initials_).--To learn to work
+initials the Roman characters are the easiest to begin with. They must
+be traced and prepared like other embroidery in satin stitch, only the
+chain stitches underneath must not be too thick: it would take away the
+shape of the letters. All depends on the fineness and regularity of the
+stitches; they must be worked in overcast stitch. Work from left to
+right, and the letter when completed must look rather like raised
+printing than like embroidery. Gothic letters are much more difficult to
+work on account of the many flourishes; it requires great practice in
+needlework to embroider them well. Illustration 123.--The small black
+dots are worked in black silk on the thick parts of the letter: the fine
+strokes are covered with cross threads of black silk. Illustration
+124.--The outlines of the letter and the fine strokes are worked in
+black silk. Illustration 125.--This letter is embroidered in raised
+satin stitch and _point de plume_. Illustration 126.--This letter is

+EMBROIDERY.
+
+[In working the following Embroidery Patterns it will be found advisable
+to trace the design clearly upon tracing-paper with a sharp-pointed lead
+pencil. The pattern thus traced must be perforated with a fine needle in
+a succession of tiny holes, at the rate of about twenty to the inch.
+Those ladies who possess a sewing-machine will find no difficulty in
+accomplishing this. Several thicknesses of paper can be perforated at
+the same time, if required, by any ordinary machine. To transfer the
+traced and perforated design to the fabric to be embroidered, it is only
+necessary to rub a small quantity of powder blue through the holes.]
+
+
+131.--_Insertion in Embroidery_.
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s embroidery cotton No. 16.
+
+This insertion is worked in raised satin stitch and button-hole stitch.
+The outlines must first be traced and the space filled up with chain
+stitches. To work a leaf, begin at the point, working from right to
+left, making short stitches, and always inserting the needle close above
+the outline and drawing it out below. The holes left for the ribbon to
+pass through are worked in plain button-hole stitch, the dots are worked
+in raised satin stitch.

+
+This small round basket measures seven inches across; it has a cover and
+two handles. The wicker is very delicately plaited, and is ornamented
+with a pattern in chenille which is very easy to work. Upon the cover,
+work in point Russe one large star in blue chenille, with the centre and
+outer circle in black. All round, work small stars in blue chenille,
+with a black stitch in the centre. The position of these stars is shown
+in our illustration. The basket requires no mounting; it is not even
+lined.

+
+This pretty star should be worked in fine overcast stitch (see No. 68 in
+_Embroidery Instructions_). The centre is worked in raised satin stitch
+leaves round a circle of button-hole stitch, in the middle of which a
+wheel is worked thus:--Slip the cotton under the thick edge and fasten
+it, then cross it over and back so as to make 8 bars, then twist the
+cotton twice round 1 bar; this will bring it to the centre; work over
+and under each of the bars until a thick dot is formed; fasten the
+cotton beneath this, and twist it twice round the bar opposite to the
+first one you worked, and finish off.

+
+This is an embroidery-pattern for a woollen or silk quilted counterpane.
+Such counterpanes generally have a lining which is turned back on the
+right side, and buttoned down at the point of each scallop. The pattern
+is a quilted counterpane of scarlet cashmere; the lining is of fine
+linen. Before embroidering it, make the points for the corners. The
+embroidery is worked in button-hole stitch, overcast, satin, and ladder
+stitch. It can also be worked on fine cambric or muslin, and then the
+embroidered pattern sewn on the piece of linen which forms the cover on
+the wrong side. Make the button-holes as seen on illustration, and sew
+on mother-of-pearl or china buttons.

+seen in illustration No. 182. The eyes of the owl are embroidered in
+scarlet and white silk. Illustration No. 183 shows the other side of the
+bag, which is ornamented with steel-coloured silk appliqué figures, in
+the form of a Gothic lock. They are edged with fine grey silk cord. The
+screws of the lock are imitated in satin stitch embroidery with
+silver-grey silk. After having lined each part, join the two halves of
+the bag with a border of grey glacé silk ribbon, which must, of course,
+continue round the revers. The bag is fastened by means of a loop and
+steel button.

+lingerie, No. 12 for couvrettes.
+
+These patterns, worked on muslin or cambric, are suitable for trimming
+various articles of lingerie; joined on to other squares they make
+pretty covers. They can also be embroidered with coloured silk, wool, or
+thread, on cloth, rep, or cashmere, for trimming couvrettes and toilet
+pincushions. The patterns should be embroidered in satin stitch and
+edged with chain stitch; they can also be worked in button-hole stitch.
+When the pattern is worked on woollen material this material must be cut
+away inside the leaves and spots.

+197.--_Embroidered Handkerchief_.
+
+Materials: Grass lawn or French cambric; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s
+embroidery cotton No. 40.
+
+This embroidery pattern is worked between the borders of a handkerchief,
+which may be either of French cambric or grass lawn. The design is
+simple, but effective, and very easy to work. If worked on fine French
+cambric, the handkerchief should be lightly tacked upon _toile cirée_.
+The rows of raised dots should be worked first, and then the graceful
+branches of pointed leaves in satin stitch. The plain round dots might
+be worked in bright red marking cotton in either of the patterns. To
+produce a good effect, rather fine cotton must be selected, and No. 40
+will be found very effective on either lawn or cambric. For mourning
+wear, this pattern should be embroidered with black filoselle, or the
+leaves can be worked in white cotton, and the dots in filoselle.

+embroidery silk of different colours; scarlet satin; red silk braid; red
+cord; cardboard; cotton wool; and a strap of light-coloured leather.
+
+[Illustration: 200.--Work Bag.]
+
+This work-bag is made in the shape of a rolled-up plaid. The outside
+consists of drab cloth, trimmed with appliqué embroidery. The inside of
+the bag is slightly wadded and lined with red satin, which is quilted in
+diamonds. The seams are covered with red braid, and a leather strap
+completes the whole. Cut out a good pattern in paper, and then cut the
+satin and wadding and the drab cloth which forms the outside. After
+having traced the pattern on the cloth, work it with small pieces of
+coloured cloth in appliqué embroidery. The different figures are sewn
+over the centre partly in point Russe, partly in button-hole stitches,
+with embroidery silk. The stems in the middle are worked with silk in
+chain stitches. The colours may be chosen according to taste. Cut a
+pattern in cardboard, and fasten the drab cloth on it. The edge must be
+bordered with red satin, and the satin lining must be sewed in. The ends
+of the bag are likewise cut out of cardboard; the inside is wadded and
+lined with red satin; the outside worked in appliqué embroidery like the
+rest of the bag. All the seams are covered with red silk cord. The
+straps are fastened with a few stitches, as seen in the illustration.

+
+Materials: Java canvas; black silk; red wool; calico.
+
+[Illustration: 201.--Pattern for Braces (full size).]
+
+These braces are made of Java canvas lined with calico ornamented with
+embroidery in black silk and red wool, and edged on either side with
+loose button-hole stitch and crochet vandykes in red wool.
+Illustration 201 shows part of the embroidered braces, full size. Work
+first the embroidery of the braces, then line them with calico; work
+loose button-hole stitch and crochet vandykes on all the edges of the
+cross bands as well as at the top and bottom of these strips, and sew on
+the tabs for the braces between the lining and the canvas. The latter
+are then edged with button-hole stitch and crochet-vandykes. The
+vandykes are worked as follow--in one row: 1 double in 1 button-hole
+stitch, * 1 purl (3 chain, 1 double in the 1st), missing the next
+button-hole stitch under it; 1 double in the following button-hole
+stitch, repeat from *. The tabs are made of tape worked round with red
+button-hole stitch, with button-holes worked with red cotton. No. 203

+brocade; gold and silver braid; silk cord and thread.
+
+This pattern is embroidered on white silk rep with silver and gold
+thread, and sewn on over a black velvet, rep, or cloth centre. The dark
+patterns are worked in appliqué with black velvet, the two other shades
+in gold and silver brocade. The embroidery is worked in satin stitch
+with gold and silver braid, silk and cord of the same material. The
+border can also be worked upon the material for the centre if it is not
+intended to contrast with it. The pattern can also be worked entirely in
+silk with satin stitch. The size of the border may, of course, be
+increased if desired, but the third pattern in the darkest shade must,
+in any case, form the centre of it.

+No. 12; net and muslin.
+
+The pattern must first be traced on muslin, which is then tacked over

+
+[Illustration: 206.--Venetian Border.]
+
+This design is elegant and effective, without there being a great deal
+of work in it. It is useful for tuckers for evening dresses or
+handkerchief borders. The muslin is laid over the net, sewn neatly over,
+and then cut away between the pattern, leaving the net for the ground
+work.

+_207.--Lace Insertion._
+
+Materials: Fine black sewing silk; black Brussels net.
+
+This lace insertion is first outlined in running stitch upon the net;
+the leaves are then darned across the net holes; the stems are worked in
+overcast stitch; the dots are embroidered by darning across the circle
+previously outlined; the lace stitches in the centre are formed by
+gently enlarging the net holes with a fine stiletto, and then sewn
+lightly round, the remaining holes being filled with lace stitches
+consisting of fine button-hole stitches, very evenly worked over the
+entire space surrounding the open holes.
+
+To be effective the very finest black silk should be employed. This
+pattern may be worked in appliqué by placing muslin over net, sewing all
+the outlines in fine overcast stitch, and when finished, carefully
+cutting away the muslin.

+wadding; 2 cork soles.
+
+[Illustration: 208.--Slipper on Java Canvas.]
+
+This slipper is very pretty, and easy to work. It is made of light
+brown Java canvas, and embroidered in point Russe with green filoselle.
+It is lined with green silk, and slightly quilted. The soles are of
+cork. The slipper is trimmed all round with a ruche of green silk ribbon
+three-fifths of an inch wide, pleated in double box pleats. The heel is

+
+210 _and_ 211.--_Medallions in Point Russe_.
+
+Materials: Coloured filoselle, cloth, velvet, cashmere, or silk.
+
+These medallions can be alternated for ornamenting small covers,
+cushions, borders, &c. They are worked with coloured filoselle in point
+Russe, herring-bone stitch, coral stitch, and knotted stitch, on cloth,
+velvet, cashmere, or silk. The middle oval of both medallions contrasts
+with the colour of the ground, and must therefore be worked in appliqué
+on the latter with herring-bone stitch, before working the outer border.
+The wreath on No. 211 is worked in coral stitch; the knots, which
+imitate small blossoms, in knotted stitch. The choice of colours is left
+to the personal taste of the worker.

+
+Materials: French lawn or cambric; fine black silk.
+
+This butterfly is worked in the finest black silk procurable, in order
+more closely to imitate etching. It is worked in point Russe and scallop
+stitch; the dark shaded scallops are worked in button-hole scallop
+stitch, the stitches being taken very closely together, but not raised
+by the usual method of placing chain stitches beneath the button-hole
+stitches. The outlines and flowers are worked in point Russe, the dot in
+knotted stitch (see No. 73, _Embroidery Instructions_.)
+
+[Illustration: 212.--Butterfly for Handkerchief Corner.]
+
+The initials are embroidered in raised slanting overcast stitch, and
+should be worked with great regularity.

+30; cambric muslin; Brussels net; flesh-coloured silk; sewing silk of
+the same shade; 1 skein of a darker shade; blue silk; brown silk; gold
+thread.
+
+This style of work is most effective for couvrettes or bed covers. It is
+worked in cambric muslin and silk, over Brussels net.
+
+The arabesque patterns are worked in cambric muslin, the outlines are
+embroidered in overcast, and the material is cut away all round. The
+medallions are made of blue silk; the figures upon them are cut out of
+flesh-coloured silk, and are gummed first upon tissue-paper, then upon
+the blue silk; the figures are further fastened upon the medallions in
+overcast stitch with fine silk of a rather darker shade of flesh-colour.
+The scarfs are cut out of bright rose-coloured silk; the quiver and
+arrows and all the other attributes are worked in gold thread; the hair
+in fine brown silk. The edge of the blue silk medallions is worked round
+in button-hole stitch, but so as to be easily unripped when the
+couvrette has to be cleaned. A border in open ladder stitch is worked
+round them (see No. 81, _Embroidery Instructions_). The openings in the
+centre pattern are also filled in with lace stitches.

+CROCHET
+
+
+
+INSTRUCTIONS.
+
+[Illustration: A Crochet-Needle]
+
+Cotton or thread, wool or silk, with a crochet-needle, are the materials
+required for working crochet. The needle, whether it be steel or bone,
+must be smoothly polished. The long wooden and bone crochet-needles are
+used for wool; for cotton and silk work short steel needles screwed into
+a bone handle are best. The beauty of the crochet-work depends upon the
+regularity of the stitches, as is the case with every other style of
+needlework. The stitches must be elastic, but if too loose they look as
+bad as if too tight. The size of the needle and that of the cotton or
+wool must correspond; work only with the point of the needle, and never
+move the stitch up and down the needle. The cotton with which you work
+must be of the very best quality; for borders, insertions, rosettes,
+imitation of guipure, use Evans's crochet cotton; for couvrettes,
+counterpanes, covers, &c., use knitting-cotton. All crochet-work
+patterns are begun on a foundation chain; there are three kinds of
+foundation chains--the plain foundation, the double foundation, and the
+purl foundation chain.
+
+The plain foundation chain consists of chain stitches.
+
+[Illustration: 216.--Plain Foundation Chain.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 216.--Form a loop with the cotton or other material with
+which you work, take it on the needle, and hold the cotton as for
+knitting on the forefinger and other fingers of the left hand. The
+crochet-needle is held in the right hand between the thumb and
+forefinger, as you hold a pen in writing; hold the end of the cotton of
+the loop between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, wind the
+cotton once round the needle by drawing the needle underneath the cotton
+from left to right, catch the cotton with the hook of the needle and
+draw it as a loop through the loop already on the needle, which is cast
+off the needle by this means and forms one chain stitch. The drawing the
+cotton through the loop is repeated until the foundation chain has
+acquired sufficient length. When enough chain stitches have been made,
+take the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the left
+hand, so that these fingers are always close to and under the hook of
+the needle. Each stitch must be loose enough to let the hook of the
+needle pass easily through. All foundation chains are begun with a loop.
+
+
+[Illustration: 217.--Double Foundation Chain.]
+

+stitch (see illustration), wind the cotton round the needle, and draw it
+through both loops on the needle. Repeat from * till the foundation
+chain is long enough.

+stitches, wind the cotton round the needle, draw it through the stitch,
+wind the cotton again round the needle, and at the same time draw the
+cotton through the last loop and through the stitch formed by winding
+the cotton round the needle. Wind the cotton once more round the needle,
+and draw it through the 2 remaining loops on the needle. The 4 chain
+stitches form a kind of scallop or purl. Repeat from *. The following
+crochet stitches require foundation chains like Nos. 216 and 217; they
+are all worked in separate rows excepting the two Nos. 222 and 234. Make
+a loop at the beginning of every row, as has been described (No. 216),
+and take it on the needle.

+formed by throwing the cotton forward; you have now 3 loops left on the
+needle, 1 of which has been formed by winding the cotton round the
+needle; missing these, wind the cotton again round the needle, miss the
+2 next stitches of the foundation chain, and draw a loop through the
+third stitch. You have now 5 loops on the needle. Always cast off 2
+loops at a time till only 1 loop remains on the needle. Work 2 chain
+stitches (if you wish to have the stitches more or less) slanting,
+work 1, 2, or 3 chain stitches, missing, of course, the same number of
+foundation chain, work 1 treble stitch, inserting the needle, as shown

+are worked consists of double crochet. They are worked across 3 rows of
+the ground, and formed of treble stitches, the spots of one row being
+placed between those of the preceding. Work first 2 rows of double
+stitch, in the 3rd row work first 2 double stitches and then 1 spot as
+follows:--1 treble, inserting the needle into both sides of 1 stitch of
+the first row (the preceding row is missed); the treble stitch is only
+completed so far that 2 loops remain on the needle; then work 2 treble
+stitches in the same stitch as the first, which are also only completed
+as far as the first treble stitch, so that after the 2nd treble there
+remain 3 loops and after the 3rd 4 loops on the needle (see
+illustration). The 4 loops are cast off together by winding the cotton
+once more round the needle and drawing it through. Miss under the spot
+the next double stitch of the preceding row; the spots are repeated at
+intervals of 5 stitches and in every other row.

+between the 2 long sides of the last-worked double stitch, and work 5
+treble stitches, always inserting the needle into the front part of 1
+stitch of the preceding row. The first 4 treble are completed entirely
+without taking up the loop which was on the needle; with the fifth

+244.--_Star in Crochet_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton No. 80, or with
+No. 8 or 10 for couvrettes.
+
+A number of these stars joined together will make very pretty strips of
+insertion. For this purpose they should be worked with fine cotton. They
+may also be used for trimming collars, cuffs, and cravats, the material
+being cut away underneath. If worked with crochet cotton No. 8 or 10,
+they will make nice couvrettes, bed-quilts, &c.
+
+[Illustration: 244.--Star in Crochet.]
+
+The star is begun by the outer circle. Make a chain of 70 stitches, and
+join it into a circle. * Make 10 chain, miss 3, work 1 extra long
+treble, 1 treble, and 1 double, inserting the needle under the chain,
+then 1 double worked as usual, 1 long double, 2 extra long double, miss
+4, and work 1 double, inserting the needle _under_ the 5th. Repeat 13
+times from * Fasten off, and for the centre of the star work as
+follows:--

+245.--_Crochet Silk Bag over Rings_.
+
+Materials: 2 skeins each of black, blue, rose, and drab coarse purse
+twist; 8 skeins of the spangled silk for the top part of the bag and
+strings; the tassel for the bottom is made of the silks that are left;
+rings.
+
+Work over a ring in double crochet, with black, 48 stitches and fasten
+off; this is for the centre ring. Then with the rose colour take a ring
+and work 24 stitches in double crochet as before, take a second ring,
+and work 24 double crochet over it without cutting off the silk, work
+over 4 more rings in the same manner, then work on the other side of the
+rings to correspond, join the first and last ring together, and sew in
+the centre ring; this completes the 1st circle. Work 12 more rounds in
+the same way, 3 rose colour, with drab centre, 3 blue with black, 3 drab
+with rose centre, 3 black with blue, join 6 circles of the alternate
+colours to the 1st circle, 1 to each ring, then sew the second ring to
+the corresponding one of the next circle, till the 6 are united; join
+the other 6 circles in the following manner: join one ring to the
+second from the one that was sewed to the 1st circle, join the next ring
+to the corresponding one of the next circle (which will be the one
+opposite to the one sewed in the 1st circle), and repeat, joining the
+other 5 in the same way.
+
+[Illustration: 245.--Crochet Silk Bag.]
+
+For the small diamond make a chain of 5 stitches and unite it, work 4
+long stitches into the circle, make 2 chain, work 1 single stitch to the
+centre of the ring missed in joining the last circle, make 2 chain, work
+4 long into the circle, make 2 chain, and work a stitch of single
+crochet to the centre of the next ring, make 2 chain, work 4 long into
+the same place, make 5 chain, work 4 long into the same place, make 2
+chain, and work a stitch of single crochet to the next ring, make 2
+chain, and join it to the first of the long stitches; this completes the
+diamonds; work 5 more, joining them in the same way, then work over 12
+rings, and join one on each side of every diamond; this completes the
+lower part of the bag. For the top part of the bag work 3 stitches of
+double crochet to the centre of each ring, make 5 chain, and repeat. 1st
+round: Work 1 long stitch, make 1 chain, miss 1 loop, and repeat. Work
+12 more rounds in the same way, working the long stitch into the chain
+stitch of last row. Run some cord in the top of the bag to match one of
+the colours used, and make the tassel for the bottom from the silk that
+is remaining after working the crochet.

+246.--_Crochet Sovereign Purse._
+
+Materials: 1 skein of black purse silk: 1 skein of coloured ditto; a few
+steel beads; and a steel clasp.
+
+The open portion of this purse is worked in coloured, and the raised
+rose and outer border in black, silk, the latter being dotted with steel
+beads. A few rows of plain double crochet are worked, increasing where
+necessary, to make the work lie flat; then 4 rows of loops of chain in
+coloured silk, and then 3 rows of thick double crochet, threading the
+beads first on the silk, and pushing them up to the stitches when
+required.
+
+[Illustration: 446.--Crochet Sovereign Purse.]
+
+The black silk must now be joined on to the centre, and the little
+raised piece worked in treble crochet, inserting the hook on the _upper_
+side of the stitches. Three rounds of treble are executed, and when both
+sides of the purse are finished they should be joined together (except
+where the clasp is put on) by a row of open treble, ornamented with
+beads. This purse is so easy to make, that it might be worked without
+the least difficulty from the illustration.

+247.--_Stars in Crochet_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton No. 8 or 20.
+
+This pattern can be used for a couvrette or pincushion cover, according
+to the size of the cotton with which it is worked.
+
+Each star is begun in the centre by a chain of 8 stitches. In the 1st
+stitch work 1 treble, * 4 chain, 1 treble in this same 1st stitch,
+repeat from * 3 times more, 4 chain, 1 slip stitch in the 4th of the 8
+chain. You have thus formed 8 rays, joined to the 1st stitch. Now work
+(without cutting the cotton) the branches, which are begun from the
+centre.
+
+1st branch.--1st round: 18 chain, 1 treble in the 13th, so as to form a
+purl with the last 5, 2 chain, 3 treble with 2 chain between, missing 2
+stitches under the 2 chain, 2 chain, 1 slip stitch in the last of the 18
+chain.
+
+2nd round: 2 double over the 1st 2 chain, 2 double with 1 purl between
+over the next 2 chain, 2 double over the next 2 chain, 1 purl, 7 double
+over the next 5 chain; then, on the other side of the branch, 1 purl, 2
+double, 1 purl, 2 double, 2 double with 1 purl between, 2 double on the
+last 2 chain of the branch, 1 slip stitch in the stitch from which the
+leaf was begun, 5 double over the 4 chain of the circle. Here begins the
+second branch.
+
+1st round of the 2nd leaf: 22 chain, 1 double in the last so as to form
+a circle.
+
+[Illustration: 247.--Stars in Crochet.]
+
+2nd round: 1 double in each of the 10 first chain, in the next stitch
+work 1 double, 1 chain, 1 double to form the point, 1 double in each
+of the 10 remaining stitches, 1 slip stitch in the 1st stitch of the 1st
+round.
+
+3rd round: 3 double, 1 purl, repeat from * twice more, then work in
+double crochet as far as the point, work 2 double with 1 chain between,
+then work the 2nd half of the branch the same as the 1st. Before
+beginning the next leaf, work 5 double on the chain stitches of the
+circle; work 6 branches, repeating alternately the 2 above explained;
+cut the cotton and fasten it on again to the point of one of the
+branches, in order to join them together by the two following rounds:--
+
+1st round: 1 double in the point of one of the leaves, * 4 chain, 1 purl
+under the chain; thus make 5 chain, turn the chain with the crochet to
+the right, insert the needle downwards in the first chain, and make a
+slip stitch, 4 chain, 1 purl under, 4 chain, 1 purl under, 4 chain, 1
+slip stitch in the point of the next leaf, repeat from * five times
+more.
+
+2nd round: * 4 double over the nearest 4 chain; 1 purl as usual--that
+is, above the chain--4 double over the next 4 chain. Now work 1 trefoil
+(thus: 1 chain, 1 purl, 1 chain, 1 purl, 1 chain, 1 double in the 1
+double coming just before the 3 purl). 1 double on each of the next 4
+chain of last round, 1 purl, 5 double, 1 trefoil, repeat five times from
+*.
+
+Join the stars by a few stitches, as seen in the illustration.

+248.--_Crochet Purse over Rings._
+
+Materials: 67 rings; 2 skeins each of cerise and black, and 1 of maize
+coarse purse silk.
+
+Work in double crochet with maize over one ring 38 stitches; this is the
+centre ring for the bottom of the purse.
+
+[Illustration: 248.--Crochet Purse over Rings.]
+
+Then work with cerise colour over a ring 19 stitches, take another ring
+and work 19 stitches, repeat this till you have 6 rings, then work round
+the other half of each ring 19 stitches; and when the 6 are finished,
+join the first to the last to make a circle; sew the maize ring into the
+centre of it, then work over 12 rings with black in the same manner, and
+place them outside the cerise circle. Then work over 16 rings with maize
+colour, and join them beyond the black, but not to lie flat down; they
+are to stand up to form the sides of the purse. Work over 16 rings with
+cerise, and these you can join one to each of the former rounds in
+working the second half of the crochet, as it will save the sewing. Work
+over 16 rings in black, and join them in the same manner to the cerise.
+For the edge, with cerise, work into the centre stitch of the ring a
+stitch of double crochet, make 5 chain, work into the stitch joining the
+8 rings an extra long stitch, make 5 chain, repeat. Then work 4 rounds
+of single open crochet.

+stitches of double crochet, * work a stitch of double crochet into the 1
+chain, make 1 chain, repeat from * 3 times more, then repeat from the
+beginning.
+
+9th round: Work into the 2 chain 1 long stitch, make 2 chain, work
+another long stitch into the same place, repeat the stitches of double
+crochet with 1 chain between, as in last round, then repeat from the
+beginning. 10th and 11th rounds the same as the 9th. Add a tassel at the

+
+249.--_Crochet Brioche Cushion_.
+
+Materials: 10 skeins of 12-thread fleecy, of six shades of red (these
+should be most of the darker shades); 2 skeins of white ditto; 1 skein
+of white filoselle.
+
+Make a chain of 196 stitches with the darkest shade of red wool, and
+join it into a circle. Work 1 round of raised spots thus:--Turn the wool
+5 times round the needle, insert the needle in 1 chain, and draw it
+through all the loops, then work 1 slip stitch, insert the needle in the
+next stitch, work 1 double, and begin a fresh spot. Continue in the same
+way all round.
+
+2nd round: Divide the round into 7 parts; work 12 spots with the 3rd
+shade of red, always working 1 double between each spot, and taking care
+to place them between those of preceding round: after 12 spots, work 1
+double, then 12 more, and so on.
+
+3rd round: 3rd shade of red, 11 spots, 1 double.
+
+4th round: 4th shade, 10 spots, 3 double.

+11th round: Same shade, 3 spots, 17 double.
+
+12th round: Same shade, 2 spots, 19 double.
+
+13th round: Same shade, 1 spot, 21 double. The pattern of raised spots
+being now completed, continue to work with the lightest shade of red in
+double stitches, decreasing once above each pattern, so as to close up
+the circle gradually. The white flowers are worked over the plain part
+of the cushion with white wool, and silk for the petals, and a black dot
+in the centre. The cushion is stuffed with horsehair and lined with
+glazed calico. A round of thick pasteboard is stitched in at the bottom,

+_250.--Daisy Pattern for a Crochet Couvrette._
+
+Materials: For a large couvrette, Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Boar's
+Head cotton No. 8; for pincushion covers, mats, and such-like small
+articles, Boar's Head cotton No. 16 or 20.
+
+A pattern of this description is most useful, as it can be converted to
+so many purposes. Counterpanes, couvrettes of every description, mats,
+pincushions, and a thousand other things can all be arranged from the
+design.
+
+[Illustration: 250.--Daisy Pattern for a Crochet Couvrette.]
+
+Each circle is made separately, and joined to the others, as the last
+row is crocheted. Begin in the centre; make 8 chain, insert the needle
+in the first, and make * a long treble stitch, then make 3 chain,
+repeat 4 times from *, always inserting the needle in the 1st chain
+stitch, join the last chain to the 5th of the 1st 8 chain to close the
+round.
+
+2nd round: Work 1 double crochet, * 9 chain, turn, work a slip stitch in
+each of the 9 chain; work round the stem thus made in close crochet,
+working 3 stitches in 1 to turn at the point; miss 1 stitch of preceding
+row, work 2 double crochet, and repeat from * 5 times more, making 6
+petals in all.
+
+3rd round: Work at the back of the last row, behind the petals; make 1
+petal between each petal in last row, 1 double crochet at the back of
+each, and cut the cotton at the end of the round.
+
+4th round: 2 double crochet at the point of each of the 12 petals, 5
+chain between each petal.
+
+5th round: 2 treble, 5 chain, repeat.
+
+6th and last round: 1 double crochet in the centre of the 1st 5 chain, *
+5 chain, 1 treble in the centre of the next 5 chain, 5 chain, 1 slip
+stitch in the top of the treble stitch, 6 chain, 1 slip stitch in the
+same place, 5 chain, a 3rd slip stitch in the same place, 5 chain, 1
+double crochet in the centre of the next 5 chain, repeat from * to the
+end of the round. There should be 12 trefoil patterns in the round.
+
+For the couvrette join the circles together, as shown in illustration,
+in working the last round. As many circles can be added as may be
+required for the couvrette.

+_254 to 257.--Wicker Arm Chair, covered with Crochet._
+
+Material: Berlin wool in two colours.
+
+[Illustration: 254.--Wicker Arm Chair, covered with Crochet.]
+
+The seat and back of this arm-chair are covered with two round
+couvrettes, worked in crochet with Berlin wool of two colours. They are
+fastened on the chair with woollen braid, finishing off with tassels of
+the same colour. Begin each couvrette in the centre with a foundation
+chain of 6 stitches, with the lightest wool; join them into a circle,
+and work the 1st round in the following manner:--12 double.
+
+2nd round: * 3 chain, 1 double, in the next stitch of the 1st round,
+inserting the needle in the upper part of the stitch; repeat from * 11
+times more; at the end of this round work 1 slip stitch in the 1st chain
+of this round. We shall not repeat any more the repetitions from * to
+the end of the round.
+
+3rd round: * 4 chain, 1 double, in the next scallop of the preceding
+round; at the end of the round 4 chain.
+
+4th round: 4 double in each scallop of the preceding round.
+
+5th round: Begin to work with the darker wool and crochet slip stitch,
+inserting the needle in the front chain of the stitches of the 4th
+round.
+
+The 6th round is worked once more with light wool, and consists entirely
+of double stitch, worked by inserting the needle at the back of the
+stitches of the 4th round, so that the slip stitches appear raised on
+the right side of the work, and form a round of chain stitches. The
+middle part of the couvrette is then finished.
+
+[Illustration: 255.--Pattern for Arm Chair Border.]
+
+[Illustration: 256.--Border for Arm Chair (254).]
+
+Illustration 257 shows it in full size.
+
+7th round: * 2 chain, missing 1 stitch of the preceding round under
+them, 1 double.
+
+8th round: * 3 chain, 1 double, in the next scallop of the preceding
+round.
+
+9th round: 3 double in each scallop.
+
+10th round, like the 5th;
+
+11th round, like the 6th;
+
+[Illustration: 257.--Couvrette for Arm Chair (254).]
+
+12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th rounds, like the 7th--11th;
+
+17th--19th rounds like the 7th--9th.
+
+20th round: Alternately 1 treble with the light wool, 1 treble with the
+dark; but every treble stitch must be cast off with the wool of the
+colour of the next stitch; that is, a light treble stitch with the dark
+wool, and a dark treble stitch with the light wool. Now and then crochet
+2 treble stitches in one stitch of the preceding round, so that the
+couvrette remains perfectly flat.
+
+21st round: 1 double in every stitch.
+
+The 22nd--31st rounds consist of a double repetition of the 7th--11th
+rounds.
+
+The 32nd and 33rd rounds are made in open work like the 7th and 8th
+rounds.
+
+The 34th round is worked in treble stitches like the 20th round. Then
+work the outer border. It consists of chain stitch scallops which are
+worked alternately with dark and light wool. Illustration No. 256 shows
+a part of the border with the treble round in full size. Work from it
+with the light wool 1 double on 1 light treble stitch of the preceding
+round, 5 chain, 1 double, on the next light treble, throw the wool off
+the needle and let it hang over the right side of the work; crochet with
+the dark wool 1 double on the treble stitch between the 2 double of this
+round, leave the wool on the right side of the work; 5 chain, 1 double,
+on the next dark treble. Take the needle again out of the loop, draw the
+wool on to the right side, and work the next chain stitch scallop again
+with the light wool.
+
+Instead of this border, pattern No. 255 may be worked. It consists of 3
+rounds to be worked after the 34th round of the couvrette.
+
+1st round of the border: With dark wool, * 1 double in 1 stitch, of the
+34th round; 1 double, 3 treble, 1 double, in the next stitch; repeat
+from *.
+
+2nd round: With the light wool, * 1 treble, inserting the needle in the
+next treble stitch of the 34th round, thus working over the double
+stitch between the spots of the preceding round; 1 chain.
+
+3rd round * 3 double in each chain stitch of the preceding round. To
+work the 2nd of these 3 double, insert the needle at the same time in
+the upper part of the middle treble of the 1st round.
+
+4th round: Dark wool, * 1 double in each double of the preceding round,
+miss 1, and work 3 treble in the next stitch but one; the last of these
+3 treble is cast off with light wool, miss 1, and continue to work with
+the light wool 1 double in the next stitch but one, miss 1, 3 treble in
+the next stitch, cast off the last with the dark wool, miss 1; repeat
+from *.

+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton No. 30, 40, or
+60.
+
+[Illustration: 258.--Crochet Insertion.]
+
+These insertions are worked with crochet cotton of sizes which depend
+upon the use you wish to make of them. The insertion seen in
+illustration 258 is worked the long way in 8 rows. Make a sufficiently
+long foundation chain, and work the 1st row as follows:--1 slip stitch
+in the 1st stitch of the foundation, * 5 chain, miss 3, 1 double in the
+next stitch but 3, repeat from *.
+
+2nd row: 1 slip stitch in the middle of the 1st 5 chain, * 3 chain, 1
+slip stitch in the middle stitch of the next 5 chain, repeat from *.
+
+3rd row: 1 treble in the 1st stitch, * 1 leaf worked as follows: 6
+chain, then without noticing the loop left on the needle 1 long treble
+in the 2nd and 1 in the 1st of the 6 chain; these stitches are not cast
+off separately, but together with the loop left on the needle. Then 5
+chain, miss 7, 1 treble in the 8th stitch, repeat from *.
+
+4th row: 1 double in the 1st of the 5 chain, * 8 chain, 1 double in the
+1st of the next 5 chain, repeat from *.

+5th row: * 1 leaf as in the 3rd row, 1 double in the double stitch of
+the preceding row, 5 chain, repeat from *.
+
+6th row: 1 treble in the point of the 1st leaf, * 7 chain, 1 treble in
+the point of the next leaf, repeat from *.
+
+7th and 8th rows: Like the 1st and 2nd.
+
+
+[Illustration: 259.--Crochet Insertion.]
+
+The insertion seen in illustration 259 is worked in 6 rows, and is begun
+in the centre on a foundation chain sufficiently long not to be worked
+too tight.
+
+1st row: 4 double in the 1st 4 stitches, * 4 double divided in the same
+way on the other side of the foundation chain, inserting the needle in
+the 1st row into the 2 chain. Illustration 260 shows an insertion which
+imitates darned netting; it is worked on a grounding imitating netting
+with raised figures. The grounding consists of 9 rows. Work on a
+sufficiently long foundation chain the 1st row as follows: 1 cross
+treble in the 1st and 3rd stitch, * 2 chain, missing 2 stitches under
+them, 1 cross treble in the 6th and 8th stitch, repeat from *.
+
+2nd row: 1 double in the 1st stitch, * 9 chain, miss 4 under them, 1
+double in the 5th stitch, repeat from *.
+
+3rd to 8th rows: 1 double in the middle stitch of every chain stitch
+scallop, 4 chain between. 9th row: Like the 1st. Work from illustration
+square patterns on this grounding, consisting each of 4 leaves; for
+these leaves carry on the cotton taken double in double windings from 1
+double stitch to another, so as to have 4 threads lying close to each
+other; darn these as can be seen in illustration, with single cotton.

+261.--_Crochet Lace_.
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton No. 30.
+
+[Illustration: 261.--Crochet Lace.]
+
+A particular kind of purl makes this border look very like guipure lace.
+Begin with a foundation chain worked in the following manner:--* 3
+chain, the last of them forms 1 purl; this is made by drawing out a long
+loop on the needle, taking the needle out of the loop, inserting it in
+the chain stitch before the last one, drawing the cotton through it, and
+continuing to work so that the loop out of which the needle has been
+drawn forms 1 purl. All the purl must be equally long; to do this more
+easily the loop may be kept on the needle till a chain stitch has been
+worked in that which comes just before the purl, continue the foundation
+chain, and repeat from *.
+
+1st row: 1 long double in the 1st stitch of the foundation, * 1 chain, 1
+slip stitch in the nearest purl of the foundation chain; repeat from *.
+
+2nd row: 1 double in the 1st stitch, * 1 purl, 1 chain, missing 1 stitch
+under it; 1 slip stitch in the slip stitch of the preceding row; repeat
+from *.
+
+3rd row: Like the 1st.
+
+4th row: 1 double in the 1st stitch, * 1 purl, 5 chain, 1 purl, 1 chain,
+missing 5 stitches under them; 1 double in the 6th stitch; repeat from *.
+
+5th row: 1 long double in the 1st stitch, 3 chain, 1 purl, 1 chain, * 1
+double in the middle of the next 5 chain of the preceding row, 1 purl, 5
+chain, 1 purl, 1 chain; repeat from *.
+
+6th to 9th rows: Alternately like the 4th and 5th rows.
+
+10th row: 1 double in the 1st stitch, * 6 chain, 1 double long treble
+(throw the cotton 3 times round the needle) in the 1st of these chain
+stitches; the stitch is only completed so far as still to leave 2 loops
+on the needle; 1 double long treble in the same chain stitch. This
+stitch is cast off so as to leave in all 3 loops, and the cotton over
+the needle; these loops are cast off together by drawing the cotton once
+through them. This forms 1 leaf, or one-half of the bell-shaped
+patterns. 3 purl, 1 chain, 1 leaf like the preceding one, 1 slip stitch
+in the 1st of the first 6 chain stitches; the other half of the pattern
+is then completed; 1 purl, 5 chain, 1 purl, 1 chain, 1 double in the
+middle stitch of the next scallop of the preceding row, 1 purl, 5 chain,
+1 purl, 1 chain, 1 double in the middle stitch of the following scallop

+chain, 1 slip stitch in the next purl of the preceding row, 1 purl, 2
+chain, 1 slip stitch in the following purl, 1 purl (the 3 purl which are
+worked on the 3 purl of the bell-shaped pattern are made in this row and
+in the following one as follows:--Crochet 1 chain after the slip stitch,
+leave it for 1 purl, and work the next chain stitch in the slip stitch),
+1 purl, 5 chain, 1 purl, 1 chain, 1 double in the middle stitch of the
+following scallop, 1 purl, 3 chain, 1 purl, 1 chain. 12th row: 3 purl on
+the next 3 purl of the preceding row, 3 chain between, 1 purl, 3 chain,

+7 of single crochet. The edging to be the same as in the former
+d'oyleys. The 1st round of the edging takes up so much space to write,
+that we think it better to leave it to the judgment of the worker. It
+will be seen by the engraving when it is necessary to work a double long
+or long stitch, or a stitch of single or double crochet, and the number
+of chain stitches between must be just sufficient to make the circle
+perfect. The best way is to cut a round of blue paper and place them on
+it from the engraving, then sew them together, and tack them to the
+paper, and work the 1st row of the edging before removing the paper.

+272 _and_ 273.--_Work-Basket in Straw and Silk Crochet-Work_.
+
+Materials: Straw; brown floss silk; brown ribbon, 1-1/4 inch wide; small
+glass beads; a piece of bamboo cane.
+
+This basket has a cover formed of two pieces. It can be employed for
+many things, and is formed entirely of crochet-work with brown silk
+over straw. A ruche trimmed with beads and bows of brown silk ribbon
+form the trimming of the basket. The straws over which you crochet must
+be damp, so as not to be stiff. They should be of unequal length, and
+when you join the two ends of two straws together, try to hide the
+beginning with the other straws. Begin the basket in the centre of the
+bottom part with 46 stitches; then work 9 rounds on either side of this
+first row, working alternately 1 double stitch, 1 or 2 chain stitches,
+the double stitch in the chain stitch of the preceding round, the last
+round over wire.
+
+[Illustration: 273.--Bottom of Work Basket (272).]
+
+It is necessary to increase regularly in all the rounds to keep the work
+flat. When you have finished the bottom begin the border of the basket,
+which is worked of the same piece with it, and consists of 11 rounds.
+
+It is worked in the same way as the bottom, the first 2 rounds without
+increasing the number of stitches, but in the following 9 rounds
+increase 2 double stitches at both ends, in order that the edge may be a
+little wider in the upper part. In the last round add a piece of wire to
+the straws.
+
+[Illustration: 272.--Work Basket in Straw and Crochet.]
+
+The cover of the basket is formed of two pieces. Begin in the middle
+with 28 stitches; crochet each half in rows forming a half circle,
+working backwards and forwards; at the beginning of each row turn the
+straws, and take care that the rows which are finished form a straight
+line. Each half of the cover requires 9 rows; the last one is worked
+over wire. The two halves are united at the straight sides by a brown
+silk ribbon 1-1/4 inch wide, which is sewed on underneath, and which
+forms a sort of hinge; sew on also a piece of wire covered with brown
+silk, so as to make the hinge stronger. Form the handle with a piece of
+bamboo cane 23 inches long, and covered with straws; work over it in
+long stitches of brown silk, and let it go down to the bottom of the
+basket; then sew the cover on the handle with the brown ribbon, which
+forms the two parts. Trim the basket with a ruche of double box pleats,
+ornamented with glass beads and with bows of brown silk ribbon.

+274 _and_ 275.--_Two Crochet Borders_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton Nos. 30 and 80.
+
+No. 274.--Crochet cotton of two sizes is used for this border (No. 30
+and No. 80); it is begun in the centre by a chain of stitches of the
+length required.
+
+[Illustration: 274.--Crochet Border.]
+
+1st row: 1 double in each stitch of the chain.
+
+2nd row: Turn and work on the opposite side of the chain, * 1 double, 11
+chain, miss 7. Repeat from *. 3rd row: * 1 double on the 1st loop of
+chain, 2 chain, 1 double in the centre of the 7 stitches which are under
+the 1st loop of chain, 2 chain, 1 double on the same loop, 5 chain.
+Repeat from *.
+
+4th row: * 1 double in the centre of the 1st loop of chain, 3 chain, 1
+treble in the 1st, but before you complete the treble stitch make 1
+chain. Repeat from *. This row completes the upper half of the border.
+The lower half is worked over the 1st row of plain double crochet.
+
+5th row: 1 double in each of the first 5 stitches, 15 chain, miss 9, 1
+double, come back over the loop of chain and work 1 double in each
+stitch, come back again and work 6 small points, each made thus: 5
+chain, 1 double in the 4th, and 1 treble in each of the 3 others, 1
+double over the round scallop. When you have worked the 6 small points
+repeat from *, but always join the 1st point of one scallop to the last
+point of the next scallop. The pattern inside the scallops is worked in
+2 rows with fine cotton. (See illustration.)
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 275.--Crochet Border.]
+
+No. 275.--The border is begun above the pointed scallops, filled up with
+lace stitches, by making alternately 3 chain, 1 purl (_i.e._, 5 chain
+and 1 slip stitch in the 1st). When the chain is long enough, turn and
+work the 1st row: Alternately 7 chain, 1 double in the centre stitch
+between the 2 purl.
+
+2nd row: Turn, work 1 double in the centre of the 1st loop of 7 chain, 1
+chain, 1 purl, 1 chain, 1 double in the centre of next loop, and so on.
+
+The 3rd row (which is the last) is worked on the opposite side of the
+chain with purl. * In each of the 8 first stitches work 1 double, make
+12 chain, miss the 4 last of the 8 double just worked, and work 1 double
+in the 5th, come back over the loop of chain, and work 7 small points
+over it. For each point make 3 chain, work 1 double in the 2nd, 1 treble
+in the 1st of the 3 chain, 1 double upon the loop of chain. Repeat from
+* 6 times more.
+
+In the following scallops always fasten the first point of one scallop
+to the last point of the preceding scallop. When this row is completed
+fill up the inner part of each scallop with a network of fine thread,
+joining the threads at all the places where they cross each other by 2
+or 3 stitches with a sewing needle.

+276.--_Crochet Antimacassar_.
+
+Materials: 18 reels of Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Boar's Head cotton
+No. 10.
+
+[Illustration: 276.--Crochet Antimacassar.]
+
+This pattern can be adapted for a round couvrette or a square one, and
+is also pretty done in silk for a sofa cushion. Make a chain of 4
+stitches, and unite it.
+
+1st round: Work into 1 loop a long stitch, make 1 chain stitch, work
+another long stitch into the same place, make 1 chain, repeat.
+
+2nd round: 3 long stitches into 1 loop, make 2 chain stitches, miss 1
+loop, and repeat.
+
+3rd round: 1 double crochet into the 2 chain in last round, make 7
+chain, and repeat.
+
+4th round: Into the 7 chain 2 double crochet, 5 long stitches, and 2
+more double crochet, and repeat.
+
+5th round: 1 long stitch into the 1st double crochet in last round, make
+9 chain, and repeat. 6th round: Into the 9 chain 2 double crochet, *
+make 4 chain, work 2 double crochet, repeat from * 3 times more, make 5
+chain, work a stitch of single crochet into the 2nd of the 5, make 1
+chain stitch, and repeat from the beginning of the round. 7th round: 1
+long stitch into the loop formed with the 5 chain, make 12 chain, and
+repeat. 8th round: Into the 12 chain 2 double crochet into successive
+loops, make 4 chain, work 1 double crochet into each of the 2 next
+loops, make 1 chain, work into the 6th loop 1 double crochet, 5 long
+stitches, and another double crochet, make 1 chain, miss 1 loop, work 2
+double crochet into successive loops, make 4 chain, work 1 double
+crochet into each of the 2 next, make 5 chain, and repeat. This
+completes the circle. 120 circles sewn together like the engraving will
+make a good-sized couvrette, 12 in the length, and 10 in the width. If a
+round couvrette is wished, work 1 circle for the centre larger than the
+others; this can be done by repeating the 5th and 6th rounds, then sew 8
+circles round the centre one, and increase the number of circles in each
+row till you have made it the size you wish. For the square one, tassels
+are required for the end and sides; these are made by winding the cotton
+over a cardboard 4 inches deep about 80 times, then twist 8 threads of
+the cotton into a cord, cut the cotton wound on the cardboard at one
+end, make 2 inches of the cord into a loop and tie it firmly with the
+middle of the tassel, then turn it, tie a thread tightly round, about an
+inch below the cord, and net over the head; 40 of these tassels will be
+sufficient.

+277.--_Crochet Insertion_.
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton No. 40.
+
+[Illustration: 277.--Crochet Insertion.]
+
+The patterns of this insertion are worked in a row, and always two
+opposite circles at a time. Make a foundation chain of 16 stitches, join
+them into a circle, then work a 2nd circle consisting again of 16 chain
+stitches. Work round this circle 24 double stitches, and 24 double round
+the 1st circle; after the last stitch begin again at the 2nd circle, and
+work 10 chain scallops as follows:--3 double in the next 3 stitches, * 5
+chain, 2 double in the next 2 stitches, repeat 8 times more, 3 double in
+the last 3 stitches; work in the same manner round the other circle. To
+get to the next pattern, work 4 slip stitches between the 2 circles in
+the middle of the just-completed pattern, leaving the cotton under the
+work and drawing it through the stitch upwards through the loop on the
+needle; 7 chain stitches, and then 2 circles like those just described,
+and so on.

+282.--_Crochet Trimming, with Embroidered Flowers worked in Appliqué,
+and Velvet Ribbon_.
+
+[Illustration: 282.--Crochet Trimming, with Embroidered Flowers worked
+in Appliqué and Velvet Ribbon.]
+
+This trimming consists of 2 strips of crochet insertion, ornamented with
+embroidery patterns worked in appliqué, and velvet ribbon drawn through.
+They are worked the long way with fine crochet cotton. Begin on a
+sufficiently long foundation chain of stitches which can be divided by
+20, and work the 1st row: 1 chain, * 5 double, on the first 5 stitches
+of the foundation, 1 leaf, as follows:--10 chain, without reckoning the
+loop left on the needle, 1 extra long treble (for which the cotton is
+wound 5 times round the needle) in the second of the 10 chain, a similar
+treble in the first, then cast off the 2 treble stitches together, wind
+the cotton once round the needle, and cast off the last loop with the
+loop left on the needle. Miss under the leaf 15 stitches of the
+foundation, and repeat from *.
+
+2nd row: 5 double on the 5 double of the preceding row, inserting the
+needle in the whole stitches, 15 chain stitches between.

+the other side of the foundation chain.
+
+When the 2 strips of insertion are completed, sew them together so that
+2 opposite scallops meet, and ornament them with the embroidery patterns
+and velvet ribbon.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+283.--_Crochet Insertion_.
+
+This pretty insertion is very suitable for cerceaunette covers or
+pillow-cases, and should be worked with middle-sized cotton. If the
+insertion is used for anything but a pillowcase, omit the lower border
+on which the button-holes are made. Begin the insertion in the middle of
+one of the star-like figures, with a foundation chain of 9 stitches;
+join them into a circle by making 1 slip stitch, and crochet thus:--*
+10 chain, 1 slip stitch in the 5th of these chain; this forms 1 purl; 4
+chain, 1 slip stitch in the circle, repeat from * 5 times more. Work 4
+slip stitches in the next 4 chain, then crochet * in the next purl; 5
+double divided by 5 chain, 4 chain, repeat 5 times from *. Fasten the
+thread after having fastened the last 4 chain-stitches with a slip
+stitch to the 1st double stitch of this round. This completes the
+star-like figure. Work on one side of these figures the following
+rows:--
+
+1st row: * 1 treble in the 2nd scallop of the four placed together, 3
+chain, 1 double in the next scallop, 3 chain, 1 treble in the last of
+the 4 scallops, 3 chain, 1 treble in the 1st scallop of the following 4
+placed together, 3 chain, 1 double in the next 2nd scallop, 3 chain, 1
+treble in the 3rd scallop, 3 chain. Repeat from *.
+
+2nd row: 3 treble in the 1st stitch of the preceding row, * miss 3
+stitches, 3 treble in the 4th following stitch. Repeat from *.
+
+3rd row: * 3 treble cast off together as one stitch on the next 3
+stitches of the preceding row, 2 chain. Repeat from *.
+
+4th row: 1 double on the next stitch of the preceding row, * 4 chain, 1
+slip stitch in the 3 double; this forms 1 purl; 3 double on the next 3
+stitches of the preceding row. Repeat from *. After having worked these
+four rows likewise on the other side of the star figures, work over the
+last the following 5 rows for the button-holes:--
+
+1st row: 1 double in the next purl, * 2 chain, 1 double in the next
+purl. Repeat from *.
+
+2nd row: 1 double in each stitch of the preceding row.
+
+3rd row: Alternately 11 double, 7 chain, under which miss 7 stitches.
+4th row: Like the 2nd row.
+
+5th row; * 3 double on the next 3 double of the preceding row, 1 purl (4
+chain, 1 slip stitch in the last double stitch). Repeat from *.

+284.--_Crochet Insertion_.
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton No. 30.
+
+This insertion is worked in our pattern with fine crochet cotton on a
+double foundation chain. For the outer edge work a row of purl stitches
+as follows:--1 double in the 1st stitch, * 1 chain, 1 purl, consisting
+of 5 chain, 1 slip stitch in the 1st 2 chain, 1 double in the next
+stitch but 2; repeat from *. The open-work centre consists of 6 rows of
+scallops; the 1st of these rows is worked on the other side of the
+foundation chain; 1 double in the middle stitch of every scallop, 5
+chain between, then 1 row of slip stitches, and finally a row of purl
+stitches like the 1st row of the insertion. For the raised flowers,
+which are fastened over the grounding at unequal distances, * make a
+foundation chain of 10 stitches, fasten it on over the grounding from
+illustration by taking the needle out of the loop, inserting it into the
+1 chain of the grounding, and drawing the loop through; miss the last of
+the 10 chain, and work back over the others; 1 slip stitch, 1 double, 1
+long double, 3 treble, 1 long double, 1 double, 1 slip stitch, then 1
+slip stitch in the 1st stitch, * 9 chain, missing 5 stitches under them,
+1 double in the 6th stitch; repeat from *. Each following row consists
+of 1 double in the middle stitch of every scallop of the preceding row,
+9 chain between. Then work the 1st row of the border on the other side
+of the insertion; 1 double in the 1st stitch of the foundation,
+inserting the needle into the back part of the stitch; repeat 8 times
+more from *, and the flower is completed.

+285.--_Crochet Garter_.
+
+Materials: Grey thread of medium size; fine red wool; fine round white
+elastic cord; a pearl button.
+
+This garter is worked in close double crochet, over fine elastic cord;
+the border and pattern in red wool, the centre in grey thread.
+
+[Illustration: 285.--Crochet Garter.]
+
+Begin in the middle by a chain of 98 stitches, with red wool; take the
+elastic cord, which must always be stretched out a little, and work over
+it. Work on both sides of the foundation chain; the pattern is completed
+in the course of the two first rounds; the button-hole is made at the
+beginning of the first round; make a loop of 21 stitches, and, when you
+come to it, work over this loop instead of over the foundation chain.
+Increase the number of stitches at either end of the garter, to round it
+off. When the second round is completed work two plain grey rounds, then
+a plain red one. The last round (grey thread) is composed of alternately
+1 double, 1 purl formed of 3 chain, 1 slip stitch in the first, missing
+1 stitch under the 1 purl. Sew on a pearl button to correspond with the
+button-hole. The garter would be both more elegant and more elastic if
+worked entirely in silk.

+286.--_Crochet Trimming for a Lady's Chemise_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton, and a needle
+to match.
+
+This pattern, as can be seen in illustration, is an imitation of old
+guipure lace; it is worked all in one piece for the bosom and sleeves,
+and is part of one of the shoulder-pieces in full size. Both strips of
+rosettes join at that place, and one is continued for the part round the
+bosom and the other for the sleeve. In the pattern there are 42 rosettes
+round the bosom, and 14 round each sleeve. These rosettes are fastened
+one to another in the course of the work. They are made in the following
+manner:--Make a chain of 6 stitches, and join it into a ring. 1st round:
+8 chain, 1 slip stitch in the 4th chain, which forms a purl (the 3 first
+chain are reckoned as 1 treble), 1 chain, 1 treble in the ring, * 5
+chain, 1 slip stitch in the 1st to form a purl, 1 chain, 1 treble in the
+ring. Repeat 6 times from *. Instead of the last treble, work a slip
+stitch to fasten the end of the round to the 3 chain of the beginning,
+which thus form 1 treble. 2nd round: 9 chain (the 3 first to be reckoned
+as 1 treble), * 1 treble on the 1st treble of last round, 6 chain.
+Repeat 6 times from *. 1 slip stitch in the treble at the beginning. 3rd
+round: On each scallop of preceding round work 2 double, 1 purl, 2
+double, 1 purl, 2 double, 1 purl, 2 double. This completes the rosette.
+Each rosette is fastened to the last by joining the 2 middle purl of
+both. In the illustration, which is full-size, the purl that are to be
+joined to those of another rosette are marked by a cross. The joining
+between the part round the bosom and the sleeve is made in the same
+manner. The space left between 4 rosettes is filled up with a star
+formed of chain stitches, marked in our illustration with an asterisk.
+For this star make a chain of 5 stitches, the 1st of which forms the
+centre; slip the loop you have on the needle through one of the 8 purl
+that are free, make 5 chain, 1 double in the centre stitch. Repeat 7
+times from *; then tie the two ends tightly, or sew them together 3 of
+these stars are required for each shoulder.
+
+[Illustration: 286.--Crochet Trimming for a Lady's Chemise.]
+
+For the Border.--It is worked at the same time both round the bosom and
+sleeves. 1st round: * 1 double in the centre purl of the 1st scallop of
+the rosette, which we will call the _first rosette_; 5 chain,
+1 double in the centre purl of the 2nd scallop of the same rosette,
+4 chain; then work the kind of cross which comes between each rosette
+(see illustration). To make this cross throw the cotton 3 times round
+the needle, work 1 double treble in the last purl left free of the 1st
+rosette, keep the last loop on the needle, throw the cotton twice round
+it, and work a double treble in the 1st purl left free in the 2nd
+rosette, throw the thread twice round the needle, work 1 treble with the
+loop left on the needle, make 2 chain, and work 1 treble in the last
+double treble, which completes the cross; make 4 chain. Repeat from * at
+each slit on the shoulders; after the last cross make 6 chain, 1 slip
+stitch in the 2 purl at the end of the slit, 6 chain to come to the next
+space, where a cross is to be made. 2nd round: Work alternately 1
+treble, 2 chain, miss 2; at the slit on the shoulders work 6 double over
+the 6 chain. The two rounds just explained are also worked round the
+upper edge, and finished round the sleeves by the following round:--1
+double in one of the spaces in last round, * 6 chain, 1 double in the
+2nd of the 6 chain, which forms a purl, 1 chain, 1 double on the next
+but one of the last round, 6 chain, 1 double in the 2nd of the 6 chain,
+1 chain, 1 double in the next space. Repeat from *. On the upper edge of
+the bosom, between the 1st and 2nd rounds of the border, work 1 round of
+crosses, but throwing the cotton twice only round the needle, so that
+the treble stitches are not double; make 3 chain between each cross.

+
+KNITTING.
+
+
+
+287.--KNITTING, though considered to be an old-fashioned art, is by no
+means so ancient as lacemaking. Knitting has never entirely quitted the
+hands of English and German ladies; indeed, among all good housewives of
+any civilised country, it is reckoned an indispensable accomplishment.
+Knitting schools have been established of late years both in Ireland and
+Scotland, and Her Majesty the Queen has herself set an example of this
+industry, as well as largely patronised the industrial knitters of
+Scotland. Of the rudiments of this useful art many ladies are at present
+ignorant; it is in the hope of being useful to these that the following
+instructions are offered.
+
+To knit, two, three, four, or five needles, and either thread, cotton,
+silk, or wool are required.
+
+Knitting needles are made of steel, of ivory, or of wood; the size to be
+used depends entirely upon the material employed, whether thread,
+cotton, silk, single or double wool, for knitting. As the size of the
+needles depends upon that of the cotton, a knitting gauge is used (see
+No. 287). The gauge (page 290) is the exact size of Messrs. H. Walker
+and Co.'s knitting gauge. Our readers will remark that English and
+foreign gauges differ very essentially; the finest size of German
+needles, for example, is No. 1, which is the size of the coarsest
+English wooden or ivory needle. Straight knitting is usually done with
+two needles only for round knitting for socks, stockings, &c., three,
+four, and five needles are employed.
+
+[Illustration: 287.--Knitting Gauge.]
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+288.--_Casting On_.
+
+This term is used for placing the first row or round of knitting
+stitches on the needles--"casting them on"--and is done in two ways--by
+"knitting on" the stitches, or as follows:--
+
+Hold the thread between the first and second finger of the left hand,
+throw it over the thumb and first finger so as to form a loop, and pass
+the needle in the loop; throw the thread lightly round the needle, pass
+it through the loop, and draw up the thread; this forms the first stitch
+(see No. 288).
+
+[Illustration: 288.--Casting On.]
+
+
+289.--_To Knit On_.
+
+[Illustration: 289.--Knitting On.]
+
+Take the needle on which the stitches are cast in the left hand, and
+another needle in the right hand--observe the position of the hands (No.
+289). Hold the left-hand needle between the thumb and third finger,
+leaving the first finger free to move the points of the needles. (The
+wonderful sense of touch in the first or index finger is so delicate,
+that an experienced knitter can work without ever looking at her
+fingers, by the help of this touch only--in fact, knitting becomes a
+purely mechanical labour, and as such is most useful.) Insert the point
+of the right-hand needle in the loop or stitch formed on the left-hand
+needle, bring the thread once round, turning the point of the needle in
+front under the stitch, bringing up the thread thrown over, which in
+its turn becomes a stitch, and is placed on the left-hand needle.
+
+
+290.--_Simple Knitting (plain)_.
+
+[Illustration: 290.--Plain Knitting.]
+
+Pass the right-hand needle into the 1st stitch of the left-hand needle,
+at the back throw the thread forward, and with the first finger pass the
+point of the needle under the stitch in forming a fresh stitch with the
+thread already thrown over, as in "knitting on," only, instead of
+placing the newly-formed stitch on the left-hand needle, leave it on the
+right-hand needle, and let the stitch drop off the point of the
+left-hand needle. Continue thus until all the stitches are taken from
+the left to the right-hand needle, and the row is then complete.
+
+
+291.--_To Purl, Pearl, or Seam_.
+
+Seaming or purling a stitch is done by taking up the stitch _in front_
+instead of at the back, throwing the thread over and knitting the stitch
+as in plain knitting; but before beginning to purl, the thread must be
+brought in front of the needle, and if a plain stitch follows, the
+thread is passed back after the purl stitch is made (see No. 291).
+[Illustration: 291.--Purling.]
+
+
+292.--_To Increase_.
+
+Increasing or making a stitch is done by throwing the thread once round
+the needle and in the next row knitting it as an ordinary stitch.
+
+[Illustration: 292.--Increasing.]
+
+
+293.--_To Decrease_.
+
+This is done in two ways: _firstly_, taking up two stitches and knitting
+them together as one; _secondly_, by taking up a stitch without knitting
+it, called slipping, then by knitting the following stitch in the usual
+way, and then slipping the 1st (unknitted) over the 2nd (knitted) (see
+No. 293). When it is necessary to decrease two stitches at once, proceed
+thus:--Slip one, knit two stitches together, then slip the unknitted
+stitch over the two knitted together.
+
+[Illustration: 293.--Decreasing.]
+
+
+294.--_Round Knitting_.
+
+To knit a round four or five needles are used; it is thus that
+stockings, socks, cuffs, mittens, &c., are made. To knit with four
+needles, cast on, say, 32 stitches upon one needle, insert a second
+needle in the last stitch of the first, and cast on 30 stitches; proceed
+in a similar way with a third needle, but casting on 28 only; when this
+is done, knit the two extra stitches on the first needle on to the last;
+this makes 30 stitches upon each needle, and completes the round.
+
+
+295.--_Casting Off_.
+
+Knit two stitches, and with the left-hand needle slip the first stitch
+over the second; continue this to the end of the row. _Note_.--The last
+knitted row, before casting off, should be knitted loosely.
+
+
+296.--_To Pick up a Stitch_.
+
+This is done by taking up the thread between two stitches and forming a
+stitch with it.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The following Designs of New Stitches can be used for a variety of
+work:--
+
+297.--_Peacock's Tail Pattern_.
+
+Needles, wood or ivory; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton.
+
+[Illustration: 297.--Peacock's Tail Pattern.]
+
+Cast on a number of stitches divisible by nine, as it takes nine
+stitches for each pattern, and two for each border; the border, which
+is in plain knitting, will not be mentioned after the first row.
+
+1_st Row_.--2 plain for border; 2 plain *, make 1, 1 plain, repeat this
+four times from *, make 1, 2 plain; repeat from the beginning--then 2
+plain for border.
+
+2_nd Row_.--2 purl, 11 plain, 2 purl; repeat.
+
+[Illustration: 298.--Spiral Stitch.]
+
+3_rd Row_.--Take 2 together, 11 plain, take 2 together; repeat.
+
+4_th Row_.--Purl 2 together, purl 9, purl 2 together; repeat.
+
+5_th Row_.--Take 2 together, 7 plain, take 2 together.
+
+Begin from the 1st row.
+
+Thirteen stitches are large enough for a stripe for a sofa-cover. These
+stripes should be sewn together after all are finished.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+298.--_Spiral Stitch_.
+
+Materials: Needles, thick steel or bone; double wool.
+
+This stitch is far more effective worked in thick wool than in cotton.
+It is done in stripes alternately wide and narrow. For wide stripes cast
+on twenty-one stitches, for narrow fifteen; this without counting the
+first and last stitch, the first being slipped, the last always plainly
+knitted.
+
+1_st Row_.--Purl 3 together to end of row.
+
+2_nd Row_.--Make 1, * 1 plain, make 2, repeat from * end by making the
+last stitch before the plain knitted one at end of row.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration 299.--Knotted Stitch.]
+
+299.--_Knotted Stitch_.
+
+Materials: Needles, wood or ivory; double wool.
+
+Cast on 11 stitches.
+
+1_st Row_.--All plain, throwing the wool twice round the needle before
+each stitch.
+
+2_nd Row_.--Each stitch on the needle is now composed of 3 threads of
+wool: knit the first plain, the second purl, the third plain; cast off
+the second over the third, and the first over the second; this leaves
+but one stitch; repeat from first row until a sufficient length is
+obtained. This pattern makes very pretty borders.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+300.--_Knitted Moss Borders_.
+
+Materials: Steel needles; moss wool of several shades of green.
+
+Cast on enough stitches for double the width required, say twenty, and
+knit very tightly in plain knitting, row by row, until a sufficient
+length has been obtained. Cut off and place the strip on a sieve over a
+basin of boiling water, and cover it over. When it has absorbed the
+steam, and while wet, iron it with a box-iron. Then cut the strip down
+the centre, and unravel the wool on each side. The threads of wool all
+curling, resemble moss. They are held firmly by the selvedge of the
+knitting.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+301.--_German Brioche Stitch_
+
+Materials: Wood or ivory needles; wool.
+
+Cast on an even number of stitches.
+
+All the rows are knitted as follows:--Slip 1, taken as for purling,
+make 1, take 2 together. In the following rows the made stitch must
+always be slipped, the decreased stitch and the slipped stitch of the
+previous row knitted together.
+
+[Illustration: 301.--German Brioche Stitch.]
+
+Ordinary Brioche Stitch is made by casting on an even number of
+stitches, and working the rows as follows:--
+
+Make 1, slip 1, take 2 together; repeat. _Note_.--The made stitch and
+the slipped stitch of the previous row must always be knitted together,
+and the decreased stitch of that row slipped.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *

+
+
+
+NETTING.
+
+302.--NETTING is one of the prettiest and one of the easiest
+accomplishments of a lady. The materials are simple, while the effects
+produced by good netting are most elegant and of great durability. One
+great advantage of netting is that each stitch is finished and
+independent of the next, so that if an accident happens to one stitch it
+does not, as in crochet or knitting, spoil the whole work.
+
+Netting, so easy to do, is most difficult to describe. The materials
+required are--a netting-needle and mesh (see illustration No. 302).
+These are made of bone, of wood, of ivory, and most commonly of steel.
+The wood, bone, and ivory are only used for netting wool, the steel for
+silk, cotton, &c.
+
+The needle is filled by passing the end of the thread through the little
+hole at the left-hand point, and tying it; then the thread is wound on
+the needle as on a tatting shuttle. The needles are numbered from 12 to
+24; these last are extremely fine. The meshes correspond to the sizes of
+the needles, and are made of the same materials. The larger the size of
+the stitch required the thicker the mesh must be selected; indeed, large
+hat meshes are often used for some patterns. A stirrup to slip over the
+foot to which the foundation is attached is required by those who do
+not use a netting cushion, placed before them on the table and heavily
+weighted; to this the foundation is fastened.
+
+The stirrup is made of a loop of ribbon, to which the foundation is
+tied. Some ladies work a pretty stirrup of the exact shape of a
+horseman's stirrup; a loop of ribbon is passed through this, and the
+foundation fixed as before.
+
+[Illustration 302.--Needle and Mesh.]
+
+303.--_To Net_.
+
+Place the mesh under the thread, between the thumb and finger of the
+left hand; it must rest on the middle of the finger and be held only by
+the thumb (see illustration No. 303). Take the needle in the right hand,
+pass the thread over the middle and ring finger and over the mesh, pass
+the needle upwards and behind the mesh in the large loop which forms the
+thread round the fingers, and at the same time through the first stitch
+or loop of the foundation. Draw the needle out, retaining the loops on
+the fingers and dropping them off, the little finger being the last to
+release the thread. As the thread tightens and the knot is firm, the
+loop on the little finger should be drawn up quickly and smartly. The
+next stitches are precisely similar, and row upon row is formed in the
+same manner. Having learnt the stitch, the next task is to make a
+foundation. Tie a large loop of strong thread on the stirrup ribbon, and
+net fifty stitches into this loop, then net four or five rows, and the
+foundation is ready.
+
+[Illustration: 303.--Netting.]
+
+Simple netting as above explained forms diamonds or lozenges. When a
+piece of netting is finished it is cut off the foundation, and the
+little ends of thread that held the stitches are drawn out.
+
+304.--_Square Netting_.
+
+Is done precisely in the same manner as plain netting, only begin from
+one stitch, then net two stitches into this first, and increase by
+making two in the last loop of every row. As soon as the right number of
+stitches is complete diminish exactly in the same way by netting two
+stitches as one at the end of each row until one stitch alone remains.
+These squares are used for guipure d'art and for darning on.
+
+305.--_Round Netting_
+
+Is nearly similar to plain netting. A little difference exists in the
+way of passing the needle through the stitch; this is shown in No. 305.
+After having passed the needle through the stitch it is drawn out and
+passed from above into the loop just made. This stitch is very effective
+for purses.
+
+[Illustration: 305.--Round Netting.]
+
+306.--_Diamond Netting_
+
+Is often called "pointed netting," and is made by netting from one
+stitch, increasing one stitch at the end of each row, and decreasing in
+the same way, as described at page 303.
+
+307.--_To Net Rounds_.
+
+To form a circle, as for a purse, the needle must pass through the first
+stitch, keeping the last three or four on the mesh and removing this
+when required by the work.
+
+308.--_"English" Netting_
+
+Is made as follows:--Net a row of plain netting, begin the second row by
+netting the second stitch, then net the first; repeat, always passing by
+one stitch and taking it up.
+
+_3rd Row_.--Plain.
+
+_4th Row_.--Begin by a plain stitch, then continue as in the 2nd row.
+
+_5th Row_.--Plain.
+
+[Illustration: 308.--"English" Netting.]
+
+309.--_Lace Edging_.
+
+Begin by one stitch and net two in one at the end of each row until as
+many stitches are required for the narrowest part of the edge. *
+Increase one then in the two loops until the point of the edge or
+scallop is reached; at the next row leave the squares which form the
+point, and begin from *.
+
+310.--_Open Lace_.
+
+This kind of edging is made with two meshes of different sizes and
+extremely fine crochet cotton.
+
+Tie the thread to the foundation, net 3 rows with the small mesh of the
+required length.
+
+_4th Row_.--On the large mesh, one stitch in each stitch.
+
+_5th Row_.--On the small mesh take 3 stitches together to form 1 loop;
+repeat to end of row.
+
+_6th Row_.--On the large mesh make 5 loops in each stitch; repeat to end
+of row.
+
+[Illustration: 310.--Open Lace.]
+
+_7th Row_.--On the small mesh, one loop in each of the 4 first stitches,
+pass over the 5th, repeat to end.
+
+_8th Row_.--On the small mesh make a loop in each of the two first
+stitches, pass over the 4th; repeat.
+
+_9th Row_.--On the small mesh make a loop in each of the two first
+stitches, pass over the 3rd; repeat.
+
+This lace is often used in fine wool of two colours to trim opera-caps,
+children's hoods, &c.
+
+311.--_Shell Border_.
+
+This border is intended as an edging for square netting for
+couvrettes, d'oyleys, &c. The mesh must be three times as
+long as that employed for the square netting.
+
+Make 12 stitches in the first stitch of the edge, pass over 8,
+make 12 in the ninth, and repeat. Then take the mesh used
+for the square netting, and net one stitch in each stitch, take
+a still smaller mesh, and complete by adding another row of
+one stitch in each stitch.
+
+This border forms a very appropriate edging for all articles
+in square netting, as couvrettes, mats, also for trimming guipure
+d'art work, and should be netted in the row of holes edging the
+work; two sets of shells must be worked at the corners when
+a little fulness is required.

+PATTERNS
+
+
+312.--_Knitted Sock for a Child._
+
+Materials for 1 pair: 1 ounce of single Berlin wool; 1 yard of narrow
+pink or blue ribbon; 2 fine steel pins.
+
+This sock fits well, and is easy to make. It is knitted upon two pins,
+backwards and forwards. Cast on 22 stitches and knit 22 rows, but
+increase once at the end of every other row on the right side of the
+work, so that there are 33 stitches in the 22nd row. Now cast off 28
+stitches and knit 12 rows, increasing 1 stitch at the end of every other
+row. Now 12 more rows, decreasing 1 stitch at the end of every other
+row; this forms the toe. Cast on 28 stitches on the same needle, and
+knit 22 rows, decreasing 1 stitch at the end of every other row, and
+cast off. Pick up the 68 stitches on the upper part of shoe, and knit 20
+rows, alternately 2 plain and 2 purl rows, decreasing 1 stitch on each
+side of the 12 stitches in every other row, which forms the toe and
+front of sock. Knit 14 rows of 2 plain, 2 purl stitches alternately,
+then 3 open rows with 1 plain row between. The open rows are worked as
+follows:--* Purl 2 together, purl 1, make 1, repeat *, 3 plain rows, 1
+open row, 1 plain row, and cast off. The sock is sewn together down the
+back of leg, centre of sole, and the point joined like a gusset to form
+the toe.

+314.--_Knitted Sleeping Sock._
+
+Materials for one pair: 4 ounces white fleecy, 3 ply; 1 ounces light
+blue fleecy.
+
+[Illustration: 314.--Knitted Sleeping Sock.]
+
+These socks are knitted with white and blue wool in a diamond pattern,
+and in rounds like a stocking. Begin at the upper part of the sock; cast
+on 103 stitches with blue wool on pretty thick steel knitting-needles,
+and knit 20 rounds of the diamond pattern as follows:--
+
+1st round: Quite plain.
+
+2nd round: Purled; both these rounds are worked with blue wool.
+
+3rd to 6th rounds: Knitted plain with white wool.
+
+7th round: With blue wool; knit 3, draw the wool through the next stitch
+of the 2nd round worked with blue wool, draw it out as a loop, keep it
+on the needle, knit again 3 stitches, and so on. 8th round: With blue
+wool; the loop which has been taken up on the preceding round is purled
+off together with the preceding stitch. Repeat the 3rd and 8th rounds
+twice more; the loop of one round must be placed between those of the
+preceding one. Then knit with white wool 31 rounds, alternately 2
+stitches knitted, 2 stitches purled, then work the foot in the diamond
+pattern in the same way as usual for a stocking. The heel is formed by
+leaving 23 stitches on each side the seam stitch, and knitted backwards
+and forwards in the diamond pattern. At the toe decrease so that the
+decreasings form a seam on both sides of the toe. This is obtained by
+knitting the 3rd and 4th stitches of the 1st needle together; on the 2nd
+needle slip the 4th stitch before the last, knit the next stitch and
+draw the slipped stitch over the knitted one; decrease in the same
+manner on the other 2 needles of this round. Repeat these decreasings
+exactly in the same direction and at the same places, so that there are
+always 4 stitches between the 2 decreasings at the end and at the
+beginning of 2 needles; they always take place after 3 or 2 plain
+rounds, and at last after 1 plain round. The remaining stitches are
+knitted off 2 and 2 together. To complete the sock, the outline of the
+sole is marked by working slip stitches with blue wool in crochet all
+round it; work also slip stitches on the selvedge stitch of the heel.
+The stocking is finished off at the top with a double round of loops in
+blue wool, worked over a mesh four-fifths of an inch wide.

+
+_315 and 316.--Netted Fichu or Cape._
+
+Material: Fine wool, or white and blue silk; netting needle and
+meshes.
+
+This fichu or cape is made either with fine wool or with silk used three
+or four times double. It may be worn as an evening wrap, either over a
+cap or on the hair, or as a necktie. The ground in our pattern is white,
+the border blue. The illustration of the ground and of the border, in
+full size, will serve as a guide for the size of the meshes to be used.
+For the ground cast on the first mesh, with white silk, 56 stitches;
+work 2 rows on the 56 stitches. From the 3rd row, always miss the last
+stitch, so that each row is decreased 1 stitch. Continue in this manner
+till the 39th row, when there will be but 19 stitches left. From the
+40th row, miss 2 stitches at the end of each row. The ground is
+completed with the 46th row. The 1st row of the work is the _cross-way
+side_; the last, the _point at the bottom_; fasten on the blue silk to
+the 1st stitch of the 1st row, and on a larger mesh work 1 row round the
+ground of the fichu, not forgetting that the stitch on the outer edge at
+the sides must always be taken, and 2 stitches made in the 5th, 10th,
+14th, [Illustration: 315.--Netted Fichu, or Cape, for Evening Dress.]
+18th, 21st, 23rd, and 25th stitches at the sides, as well as in each of
+the 2 middle stitches of the last row; in each of the other stitches 1
+stitch should be made. On the corners of the sides increase _once_, on
+the cross-way side, seven times in all. This forms the 1st round of the
+edging or lace.
+
+[Illustration: 316.--Showing the Netting full size for Border of Fichu.]
+
+2nd round of the lace: In each stitch make 2 stitches--still on the
+larger mesh. 3rd round: Always miss the small flat scallop formed in
+last row, and work 2 stitches in the stitch which forms a tight loop.
+Keep thus the same number of stitches, with which work 6 more rounds.
+For the last round, work 1 stitch in each _tight_ loop.

+_317.--Lady's Knitted Purse._
+
+Materials: 2 skeins of black purse silk; 2 skeins of scarlet ditto;
+black jet beads; a steel clasp with chain; a tassel of black beads; 5
+steel knitting-needles.
+
+[Illustration: 317.--Lady's Knitted Purse.]
+
+This purse is knitted with black and scarlet purse silk, and ornamented
+with black beads and a black bead tassel. Begin the purse with the black
+silk in the centre of the bottom part, and cast on for one part of it 7
+stitches. Knit 14 rows on these backwards and forwards, in such a manner
+that the work is knitted on one side and purled on the other. The 1st
+stitch of every row is slipped, the 1st row of this part is purled. * On
+that side where hangs the thread with which you work take the back chain
+of the 7 selvedge stitches of the part you have just knitted on a
+separate needle, and knit another part, which must have 15 rows, and the
+1st row of which is knitted. Repeat 10 times more from *. The stitches
+of several parts can be taken on the same needle, so as not to be
+hindered in working by too many needles. When the 12th part is
+completed, take the selvedge stitches on the left hand on another
+needle, cast them off together with the cast on stitches of the 1st
+part, and fasten the silk thread. Then take the 7 right-hand selvedge
+stitches of one black part on a needle, take the red silk on which the
+beads have been strung and work 15 rows on these stitches, the 1st row
+from the wrong side, and therefore purled; in the 1st, as well as in all
+the other purled rows, the last stitch must be purled together with the
+next stitch of the next black part. In the purled rows, moreover,
+excepting in the first and last one, a bead must be worked in after
+casting off the 2nd, 4th, and 6th stitches. The stitch must be worked by
+inserting the needle into the back part, and in drawing through the silk
+which has been thrown forward, let the bead slide through the stitch so
+that it is on the right side of the work. In the following knitted row,
+the needle must also be inserted into the back part of the bead stitch.
+When 12 such red parts have been completed, work again 12 black parts on
+the selvedge stitch of the same, in which the beads are not knitted in,
+but sewn on afterwards, when the purse is completed. Then work 3 times
+more alternately 12 red and 12 black parts; when the last 12 black parts
+have been completed cast off the stitches of the last black part
+together with the selvedge stitches, the 1st on the wrong side; the
+stitches of the 6th part are cast off in the same manner together with
+the selvedge stitches of the 7th. The red parts which remain to be
+worked on the black part are thus lessened by 2; the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th,
+and the 7th, 8th, and 9th of these parts must be by 6 rows longer. Then
+gather all the stitches and selvedge stitches of the 10 parts on 2
+needles, in such a manner that the 2 black parts, the stitches and
+selvedge stitches of which have been cast off together, are placed on
+the sides of the purse, and knit as follows with black silk, first on
+the stitches of the one needle, and then on those of the other:--1 row
+knitted, knitting together every 3rd and 4th stitch; then work 3 rows
+backwards and forwards on the same number of stitches, which must be
+knitted on the right side; then work 8 rows more in the same manner,
+casting off the 2 first stitches of the 8 rows. Then cast off all the
+remaining stitches, sew the beads on the black parts from illustration;
+also the clasp and bead tassel.

+
+318 to 320.--_Knitted Antimacassar or Berceaunelle Cover._
+
+Materials: Grey and violot fleecy wool.
+
+[Illustration: 318.--Square for Antimacassar.]
+
+This antimacassar, part of which is seen on No. 320, smaller than full
+size, is made of rosettes and small squares, which are knitted
+separately with violet and grey fleecy wool with fine knitting-needles.
+In the middle of each rosette sew on a tatted circle of grey wool. The
+edge of the antimacassar is ornamented with a grey woollen fringe. For
+each rosette cast on 6 stitches with violet wool, and knit 12 rows
+backwards and forwards in such a manner that the work is knitted on one
+side and purled on the other: the first of these 12 rows is purled, the
+first stitch of every row is slipped; * then take the first five
+selvedge stitches of the knitted part on a separate needle (on the side
+where the end of wool hangs down, leaving it unnoticed for the present),
+inserting the needle into the back chain of the stitch (the selvedge
+stitch which is next to the cast-on stitch remains, therefore, unworked
+upon), and knit on these a new part, which must have 13 rows; the first
+row is knitted, and in this row work 2 stitches in the first stitch, one
+purled and one knitted, so that this new part is equally six stitches
+wide. Repeat 8 times more from *. After having worked several parts, the
+stitches can, of course, be taken on the same needle, so as not to
+increase the number of needles. When the 10th part is com-* *pleted,
+take the selvedge stitches of the left-hand side of the same on a
+separate needle, cast them off with the cast-on stitches of the first
+part, and fasten the wool. Then take the 6 selvedge stitches on the
+right hand of one part on a separate needle; take the grey wool, and
+work on these stitches 13 rows backwards and forwards; the first row is
+knitted; it is worked on the right side of the work; in this, and in
+every following _knitted_ row, knit the last stitch together with the
+next stitch of the next violet part. When 10 such grey parts are
+completed (each of the remaining 9 parts consists of 13 rows, and begins
+with one knitted row), take all the stitches and the selvedge stitches
+of these parts on four needles and knit with these stitches, also with
+grey wool 1 row knitted, in which the 6 selvedge stitches must be
+decreased to 3 by knitting always 2 stitches together as 1 stitch; each
+of the other stitches is knitted as usual. Then purl 2 rows with violet
+wool, and cast off.
+
+[Illustration: 319.--Rosette for Antimacassar.]
+
+[Illustration: 320.--Part of Antimacassar.]
+
+For the tatted circle in the centre of the rosette, work with grey wool
+a circle consisting of 1 double, and 11 times alternately 1 purl 3-10ths
+of an inch long, 2 double, then 1 purl and 1 double. The circle is sewn
+on the rosette, from illustration, with grey wool. No. 319 shows such a
+rosette full size. The small squares (_see_ No. 318) are worked with
+grey wool; cast on 36 stitches, join the stitches into a circle, and
+purl 2 rows. To form the corners, knit together 4 times 2 stitches after
+every 7 stitches in the first of these two rounds, in the second round
+knit together 2 stitches after every 6 stitches; these decreasings and
+those of the other rounds must always take place, at the same places as
+in the preceding round. Then take the violet wool, and knit 7 rows; in
+the first of these knit 4 times 2 stitches together after intervals of 5
+stitches; no decreasings take place in the 2nd, 4th, and 6th rows; in
+the 3rd row knit together 4 times 3 stitches as 1 stitch, and in the 5th
+and 7th rows 4 times 2 stitches as 1 stitch. After the 7th round, the
+remaining stitches are cast off together as 1 stitch. Then fasten the
+wool and cut it off. Lastly, sew the rosettes and squares together from
+No. 320 for a cover, and edge it round the border with a fringe of grey
+wool.

+[Illustration: 321.--Knitted Border.]
+
+321.--_Knitted Border._
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s No. 10 or No. 50 knitting
+cotton.
+
+If knitted with thick cotton, this border will be suitable for trimming
+a quilt or berceaunette cover; if, on the contrary, fine cotton is used,
+the pattern will form a very pretty collar for a little boy or girl.
+
+To make a collar, begin by a chain of 220 stitches, and work 6 rows
+backwards and forwards alternately, knitting 4 stitches and purling 2.
+
+In the 2nd, 4th, and 6th rows the 4 stitches are purled, and the 2 are
+knitted.
+
+7th row: * Purl 2, make 1, knit 2, purl 2. Repeat from *.
+
+8th row: Alternately purl 5, knit 2. All the rows with _even_ numbers
+are knitted like this, except that the number of the knitted stitches
+are increased by 2 in each of them. We will not, therefore, henceforth
+mention these rows.
+
+9th row: * Knit 2, make 1, knit 1, make 1, knit 2, purl 2. Repeat from
+*.
+
+11th row: * Knit 2, make 1, knit 3, make 1, knit 2, purl 2. Repeat from
+*.
+
+13th row: * Knit 2, make 1, knit 5, make 1, knit 2, purl 2. Repeat from
+*. The pattern is continued in the same manner. The small gores formed
+between the ribs are increased by 2 stitches in every second row. Each
+of these gores has 13 stitches in the 21st row, which is the last. Cast
+off all the stitches after this row.
+
+Take a crochet needle, and with the same cotton as that used for the
+knitting work 1 stitch of double crochet in every stitch of the
+selvedge, then the 2 following rows for the edging. 1st row: Alternately
+1 treble, 1 chain, under which miss 1.
+
+2nd row: Alternately 1 double over 1 treble of preceding row, 1 purl
+(that is, 5 chain and 1 slip stitch in the first), under which miss 1.
+Over the first row of the knitting work 1 row of close double crochet.
+The border is now completed.

+
+322.--_Knee-cap in Knitting._
+
+Materials: For 1 pair, 4 oz. pink 4-thread fleecy wool, and a small
+quantity of white ditto.
+
+Begin each knee-cap by casting on with pink wool 114 stitches, equally
+divided upon 4 needles, and joining them into a circle. Upon this number
+of stitches work 47 rounds, alternately knitting and purling 2 stitches.
+In the 48th round begin the gore which covers the knee; it is worked
+separately backward and forwards, always alternately knitting and
+purling 2 stitches.
+
+[Illustration: 322.--Knee-cap in Knitting.]
+
+After 2 rows change the pattern, so as to form small squares Knit the
+first row of this gore upon 26 stitches slipped off from the last row on
+to a separate needle. At the end of each following row knit the nearest
+stitch of the nearest needle, so as to increase 1 stitch in each row of
+the gore.
+
+Continue in this way until only 42 stitches remain of the ribbed part.
+After this work the remainder of the gore separately, decreasing once at
+the beginning and end of each row till only 26 stitches remain; then
+take up 23 stitches of the selvedge on each side of these 26 stitches,
+and work 47 rounds, alternately knitting and purling 2 stitches.
+
+The edging at the top and bottom of the knee-cap is worked in crochet.
+With white wool make a chain of 50 stitches; turn and work 1 row of
+crochet _à tricoter_; then work a second row thus: the first part, as
+usual, with white, but coming back, with pink make 4 chain between each
+stitch, work in the same way on the other side of the foundation chain,
+thus forming a small ruche, and sew it on to the edge of the knitting.

+323.--_Knitted Neckerchief in Black Shetland Wool._
+
+Material: Black Shetland wool.
+
+This three-cornered neckerchief is knitted in the following pattern
+(commencing at the corner).
+
+1st row: slip 1, make 1, knit 2 together, inserting the needle into the
+back part of the stitch, slip 1, make 1, knit 2 together.
+
+2nd row: Knit 1, purl 1 in the stitch formed by throwing the wool
+forward in the preceding row; the other stitches are purled. In the next
+row the holes are alternated; the neckerchief must of course be
+increased at the beginning and end of every other row. It measures at
+the upper edge 1 yard 16 inches across from one corner to the other; the
+lower corner is rounded off. The neckerchief is edged with a knitted
+lace.
+
+[Illustration: 323.--Knitted Neckerchief in Shetland Wool.]
+
+The lace is worked in rows backwards and forwards, the cross way. Cast

+_324 and 325.--Knitted Bodice without Sleeves._
+
+Materials: 4 ounces black, 3-1/2 ounces purple fleecy; black silk
+elastic; a steel buckle; 9 black bone buttons.
+
+This bodice is knitted in brioche stitch with black and purple wool, so
+that the raised ribs appear black on one side and purple on the other.
+The bodice fits quite close. It is fastened in front with black bone
+buttons and a steel buckle. Two strips of silk elastic are knitted in at
+the bottom. Begin at the bottom of the bodice with black wool, and cast
+on 170 stitches. The needles must be rather fine, and the knitting not
+too loose. Work backwards and forwards 24 rows as follows:--Slip the 1st
+stitch, alternately throw the wool forward, slip 1 as if you were going
+to purl it, and knit 1. In the next row knit together the stitch which
+has been slipped and the stitch formed by throwing the wool forward,
+slip the knitted stitch, after having thrown the wool forward. In the
+25th row take the purple wool and work 1 row as before.
+
+[Illustration: 324.--Knitted Bodice without Sleeves (Back).]
+
+[Illustration: 325.--Knitted Bodice without Sleeves (Front).]
+
+Now work alternately 1 row with black wool and 1 row with purple, but as
+the wool is not cut off, the brioche stitch must be alternately knitted
+and purled. Work always 2 rows on the same side from right to left. The
+following 26th row is worked with black wool in common brioche stitch,
+only the slipped stitch of the preceding row is purled together with the
+stitch formed by throwing the wool forward. 27th row: Turn the work,
+with purple wool purled brioche stitch. 28th row: On the same side with
+black wool knitted brioche stitch. After having worked 40 rows all in
+the same manner, begin the front gore. Divide the stitches upon three
+needles, 82 stitches on one needle for the back, and 44 stitches for
+each front part on the two other needles. Then work the first 11
+stitches of the left front part (this row must be worked on that side of
+the work upon which the ribs appear purple) in knitted brioche stitch;
+the 11th stitch must have a slipped stitch, with the wool thrown
+forward, therefore it is a purple rib. After this stitch begin the gore
+with the following 13 stitches. The ribs are then worked so that a
+purple one comes over a black one, and a black one over a purple one. Do
+not work upon the following black stitch; knit the following stitch with
+the one formed by throwing the wool forward. Throw the wool forward, and
+then only slip the black stitch which had been left, so that it comes
+behind the stitch which has just been knitted. This crossing of the
+stitch is repeated once more, then knit the following stitch together
+with the one formed by throwing the wool forward, throw the wool
+forward, slip the crossed black stitch and the two following single
+black stitches. The slipped stitch and the stitch formed by throwing the
+wool forward before the 3rd single black stitch are then knitted
+together, so that the crossed stitches are placed in opposite
+directions. The three black stitches which are knitted off together as 1
+stitch in the next row form the middle line of the front gore, and are
+continued in a straight line to the point of the gore. The crossing
+takes place twice in this row, but now the black stitch is slipped
+first. After the 24th stitch knit together the following stitch with the
+stitch formed by throwing the wool forward. Then continue to work in
+common brioche stitch to the other front part, where the gore begins
+before the 24th stitch from the end. In the next row, which is worked in
+purled brioche stitch with black wool, take up the black loop between
+two purple ribs after the 11th stitch; purl it so as to form the stitch
+which is missing at that place. The 3 slipped stitches in the preceding
+row are purled together as one stitch with the stitch formed by throwing
+the wool forward between the ribs. The loop is also taken up on the
+other side of the front gore in the same manner, as well as on the other
+front part. Then work 6 rows without increasing or decreasing. The
+crossing of the stitch is repeated after every 7 rows, always on the
+knitted brioche stitch side, with purple wool. In the 18th row of the
+gore the 3 middle stitches are not knitted together, but separately, so
+that the pattern must be decreased in 26 rows. In the back 30 stitches
+only must be decreased, two in every 6th row. After the 60th row another
+decreasing takes place on the outer edges of the front parts for the
+neck; they decrease 2 stitches (1st rib) after the 5th stitch from the
+front edge in every 3rd row. The 5 stitches which close to the neck are
+cast off together with the 5 stitches on the shoulders. Then cast off
+loosely the stitches of the back; take all the selvedge stitches of the
+front on the needles, and knit 24 rows of brioche stitch with black
+wool, making 9 button-holes on the right front part. On the wrong side
+of this part sew on a strip of black silk, with slits worked round in
+button-hole stitch, stitching at the same time into the knitting. The
+following scallops are knitted round the top of the jacket and round the
+armholes with black wool:--Take the selvedge stitches on the needles,
+work 4 rows alternately, 1 stitch knitted, 1 stitch purled, thread the
+wool into a Berlin wool-work needle, * cast off 3 stitches together,
+draw the wool through the needle, and take the 2 following stitches on
+the wool in the worsted-needle; repeat from *. Sew on the buttons the
+strips of silk elastic on either side of the black stripe at the bottom,
+and fasten the ends of the latter with the steel buckle.
+
+
+_326.--Baby's Boot._
+
+Materials for one pair: 1/2 ounce red, 1/2 ounce white, Berlin wool;
+steel knitting-needles.
+
+This pretty boot consists of a shoe knitted in red wool, and a sock in
+white wool ornamented with red. Begin the knitting with the upper
+scalloped edge of the latter. Cast on 96 stitches with red wool, divide
+them on four needles, and knit in rounds as follows:--1st and 2nd
+rounds: With red wool, purled.
+
+3rd to 8th round: With white wool.
+
+3rd round: Knitted.
+
+4th round: * Knit 4, throw the wool forward, knit 1, throw the wool
+forward, knit 4, knit 3 together. Repeat 7 times more from *.
+
+5th round: Knitted; the stitches formed by throwing the wool forward are
+knitted as one stitch. Knit 3 stitches together at the place where 3
+stitches were knitted together in the 4th round, so that the decreasing
+of the preceding round forms the middle stitch of the 3 stitches to be
+decreased in this round.
+
+6th and 7th rounds: Like the 5th.
+
+8th round: Knitted; you must have 48 stitches left.
+
+9th to 11th round: With red wool. 9th round: Knitted.
+
+10th and 11th rounds: Purled.
+
+12th to 30th round: With white wool.
+
+12th round: Knitted.
+
+13th round to 30th round: Alternately purl 1, knit 1, inserting the
+needle in the back part of the stitch.
+
+31st to 33rd round: With red wool.
+
+31st round: Knitted.
+
+32nd round and 33rd round: Purled.
+
+34th and 35th rounds: With white wool. 34th round: Knitted.
+
+35th round: Alternately throw the wool forward, knit 2 together. Each
+stitch formed by throwing the wool forward is knitted as one stitch in
+the next round.
+
+36th to 38th round: With red wool.
+
+36th round: Knitted.
+
+37th and 38th rounds: Purled.
+
+39th to 47th round: With white wool. Alternately purl 1, slip 1, as if
+you were going to purl it; the wool must lie in front of the slipped
+stitch; in the following rounds take care to purl the slipped stitches.
+
+[Illustration 326.--Baby's Boot.]
+
+Take now 18 stitches for the front gored sock part (leave 30 stitches
+untouched), and work backwards and forwards with red wool. 48th to 50th
+row: With red wool.
+
+48th row: Knitted.
+
+49th row: Purled.
+
+50th row: Knitted.
+
+51st to 85th row: With white wool in the pattern described in the 39th
+round. But as you work backwards and forwards you must alternately knit
+and purl the stitches. Decrease 1 stitch at the beginning and at the end
+of the 84th and 85th rows; decrease 1 stitch in the middle of the 85th
+row, so that the 85th row has 13 stitches left. After this work with red
+wool.
+
+86th row: Knitted.
+
+87th row: Knit 1, purl 2, knit 1, purl 2, knit 1, purl 2, knit 1, purl
+2, knit 1.
+
+Repeat these last 2 rows 3 times more and knit plain to the 94th,
+decreasing one, however, on each side. Now work with the whole number of
+stitches, taking up the selvedge stitches of the gored part and dividing
+them with the 30 other stitches on four needles. Knit once more in
+rounds; the next 20 rounds are alternately 1 round knitted, 1 round
+purled. In the 2 last knitted rounds decrease twice close together in
+the middle of the back part of the shoe. Knit 8 rounds; in every other
+round decrease twice in the middle of the front of the shoe, leaving 9
+stitches between the two decreasings. The number of stitches between the
+decreasings decreases with every round, so that the decreasings form
+slanting lines meeting in a point. Cast off after these 8 rounds, by
+knitting together 2 opposite stitches on the wrong side. The sock part
+is edged with a raised red border, which is worked by taking all the red
+stitches of the 1st round of the shoe on the needle and knitting 4
+rounds, so as to leave the purled side of the stitch always outside;
+then cast off very tight. Draw a piece of braid through the open-work
+row in the sock part, and finish it off at either end with tassels to
+match.

+
+327.--_Knitted Border for a Bedquilt_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s No. 8 white knitting cotton;
+thick steel pins.
+
+Cast on a sufficient number of stitches for the length of the border,
+which must be able to be divided by 31; knit 4 plain rows:
+
+5th row: Alternately make 1, knit 2 together.
+
+Then 5 more plain rows.
+
+[Illustration 327.--Knitted Border for a Bedquilt.]
+
+Now begin the pattern:--1st row: * Make 1, knit 1 _slantways_ (to knit a
+stitch slantways, insert the needle from the front to the back and from
+right to left); # purl 5; knit 1 slantways. Repeat from # 4 times more
+than from * to the end of the row.
+
+2nd row: Purled.
+
+3rd row: Knit 2, * make 1; knit 1 slantways; # purl 5; knit 1 slantways.
+Repeat from # four times more. Repeat from * to the end of the row.
+
+4th row: The same as the second.
+
+The continuation of the work is clearly shown in our illustration. The
+increasing caused by knitting the _made_ stitches is regularly repeated
+in each second row, so that the stitches between the striped divisions
+increase, and form large triangles; the striped divisions, on the other
+hand, are narrowed so as to form the point of the triangles. To obtain
+this result, decrease five times in the 6th, 12th, 18th, and 24th rows,
+by purling together the two last stitches of one purled division, so
+that each division has but eleven stitches left in the 25th row. In the
+28th row knit together one purled stitch with one knitted slantways, so
+that there will be only 6 stitches left for each division; these
+stitches are knitted slantways in the 29th and 30th rows. In the 31st
+row they are knitted together, two and two. There remain in each
+division three more stitches, which are knitted together in the 34th
+row. Two rows entirely purled completethe upper edge of the border.

+328.--_Knitted Quilt._
+
+Materials: 8-thread fleecy wool; wooden needles.
+
+This pattern may be worked in narrow strips of different colours, and in
+that case each strip should contain 1 row of patterns; or the quilt may
+be composed of wide strips with several rows of patterns, those of one
+row being placed between those of the preceding. In the first case, that
+is if you work narrow strips, you may use several colours; but if wide
+strips are preferred, they should be of two colours only. Our pattern
+was worked in wide strips, alternately grey and red. Each strip is
+knitted the short way.
+
+[Illustration: 318.--Knitted Quilt.]
+
+For a strip with five raised patterns in the width cast on 20 stitches.
+
+2nd row: Right side of the work. Slip 1, purl 1, * make 1, purl 4.
+Repeat from * 3 times more; make 1, purl 2.
+
+3rd row: Slip 1, knit all the stitches that were purled in the preceding
+row, and purl all those that were made.
+
+4th row: Slip 1, purl 1, * knit 1, make 1, purl 4. Repeat from * 3 times
+more; knit 1, make 1, purl 2.
+
+5th row: Slip 1, knit all the purled stitches, purl all the rest.
+
+6th row: Slip 1, purl 1, * knit 2, make 1, purl 4. Repeat from * 3 times
+more; knit 2, make 1, purl 2.
+
+7th row: The same as the 5th.
+
+8th row: Slip 1, purl 1, * knit 3, make 1, purl 4, and so on.
+
+9th row: The same as the 5th row.
+
+10th row: Slip 1, purl 1, * slip 1, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over
+the knitted one, knit 2, purl 4, repeat from *.
+
+11th row: Knit all the purled stitches, purl all the rest.
+
+12th row: Slip 1, purl 1, * slip 1, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch
+over, knit 1, purl 4, and repeat from *.
+
+13th row: The same as the 11th.
+
+14th row: Slip 1, purl 1, * slip 1, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch
+over, purl 4, and repeat.
+
+15th row: Slip 1, * knit 2 together, knit 3. Repeat from * 3 times more;
+knit 2 together, knit 2.
+
+The second row of patterns begins with the 16th row. There are only 4 in
+this 2nd row, so that after the 1st slipped stitch you purl 3 stitches
+instead of 1, and in the 2nd row, after the 4th made stitch, you purl 4
+more stitches. Repeat alternately these 2 rows of raised patterns, and
+when you have a sufficient number of strips sew them together. Trim the
+quilt all round with a knotted fringe.

+330 _and_ 331.--_Knitted Veil._
+
+Material: Fine Shetland wool.
+
+[Illustration: 330.--Knitted Veil.]
+
+Illustration 330 represents a knitted veil in reduced size. The original
+was worked with fine Shetland wool in an open pattern; it is edged with
+a knitted lace. Its length is 24 inches, its width 18 inches. Work the
+veil from a paper pattern of a shape corresponding to that of
+illustration 330. Compare the paper shape often with the knitting in
+the course of the work, and try to keep them alike.
+
+Knit the veil in the pattern of the original, or in the pattern of
+illustration 331. For the former one begin at the lower edge of the
+veil, cast on 45 stitches upon thick wooden needles, and work the 1st
+row: * Knit 2, throw the wool forward, knit 2 together twice, repeat
+from *.
+
+2nd row: Purled.
+
+3rd row: Knit 1, throw the wool forward, knit 2 together, * throw the
+wool forward, knit 2 together twice, and repeat from *.
+
+4th row: Purled.
+
+5th row: Like the 2nd row. The pattern must be reversed. The pattern
+figures increase with the increasings at the beginning and at the end
+of each row.
+
+The pattern of illustration 331 consists of the 2 following rows:--1st
+row: Slip 1, then alternately throw the wool forward, and knit 2
+together.
+
+2nd row: Entirely knitted; make 1 stitch of the wool thrown forward in
+the last row. When the veil is finished, wet it, and stretch it over
+paper or pasteboard; let it dry, and then edge it with the following
+lace:--Cast on 10, knit the 1st.
+
+2nd row: Knit 1, throw the wool forward, knit 9.
+
+3rd row: Knitted.
+
+4th row: Knit 1, throw the wool forward, knit 2, throw the wool forward,
+knit 2 together twice, knit 4.
+
+5th row: Knitted.
+
+6th row: Knit 1, throw the wool forward, knit 2, throw the wool forward,

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton No. 8 or 20.
+
+This pattern is worked in rows going backwards and forwards with thick
+or fine cotton according to the use you wish to make of it. The
+star-like figures on the knitted squares are worked with soft cotton in
+_point de poste_. Cast on a number of stitches long enough (19 stitches
+are necessary for the two squares), work the 1st row: * Knit 11
+stitches, alternately 4 times knit 2 together, throw the cotton forward.
+Repeat from *, The 2nd row is worked like the 1st, only purled, in this
+row, as well as in the following ones, the stitch must be knitted with
+the cotton thrown forward _after_ the stitch, the last stitch of a plain
+square with the first cotton thrown forward of the open-work figure. The
+number of stitches in the last must always be 8. The pattern consists
+alternately of these two rows. Each pattern contains 12 rows, with the
+13th the squares are reversed. The star figures are embroidered with
+double cotton by working 5 chain stitch in the middle of each square;
+draw the needle underneath the knitting to the next centre of a square.

+
+This pattern is knitted with very fine crochet cotton. The middle part
+as well as the lace border are worked separately; the latter is sewn on
+to the middle part. The spots in the thick parts are worked in
+afterwards with coarser cotton. Commence the pattern in the centre, cast

+_338.--Knitted Braces_.
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton No. 8 or 12.
+
+These braces are knitted with coarse white cotton, taken double; the
+braces themselves are worked in brioche stitch, the lappets are knitted
+plain. Begin at the bottom of the front lappet, make a foundation chain
+of 14 stitches, knit 5 rows plain backwards and forwards, then divide
+the stitches into two halves to form the button-hole; knit 15 rows on
+each of the halves consisting of 7 stitches; then take the 14 stitches
+again on one needle and work 17 rows on them. Then work a second
+button-hole like the first one; knit 6 more rows plain, increasing 1 at
+the end of every row, so that the number of stitches at the end of the
+lappet is 20.
+
+Then begin the pattern in brioche stitch; it is worked as follows:--Knit
+first 1 row, then slip the first stitch of the first following pattern
+row, * throw the cotton forward, slip the next stitch (slip the stitches
+always as if you were going to purl them), knit 2 together; repeat 5
+times more from *; the last stitch is knitted.
+
+2nd row of the pattern: Slip the 1st stitch, * knit 2; the stitch which
+has been formed in the preceding row by throwing the cotton forward is
+slipped after the 2nd knitted stitch; repeat 5 times more from *; knit
+the last stitch.
+
+3rd row: Slip the 1st stitch, * decrease 1 (here, and in all the
+following rows, knit the next stitch together with the stitch before it,
+which has been formed in the preceding row by throwing the cotton
+forward), throw the cotton forward, slip 1; repeat from *; knit the last
+stitch.
+
+4th row: Slip the 1st stitch, * knit 1, slip the stitch which has been
+formed in the preceding row by throwing the cotton forward, knit 1, knit
+the last stitch. Repeat these 4 rows till the braces are long enough.
+The pattern is 19 inches long. Then knit 6 rows plain, decreasing 1 at
+the end of every row, then work each lappet separately, dividing the
+stitches so that each lappet is 7 stitches wide. Each lappet has 72
+rows; after the first 18 rows make a button-hole as described for the
+preceding one. Work 18 rows between the 1st and 2nd button-hole. The
+lappets are rounded off by decreasing after the 2nd button-hole.

+339.--_Pattern for Knitted Curtains, &c._
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton No. 8.
+
+This pattern is suitable for knitting different articles, according to
+the thickness of the cotton used. The number of stitches must be
+divided by ten. The pattern is knitted backwards and forwards.
+
+[Illustration: 339.--Pattern for Knitted Curtains.]
+
+1st row: All plain.
+
+2nd row: * Knit 1, make 2, slip 1, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over
+the knitted one, knit 5, knit 2 together, make 2. Repeat from *.
+
+3rd row: Purl the long stitch formed by making 2 in preceding row, *
+make 2, purl 2 together, purl 3, purl 2 together, make 2, purl 3. Repeat
+from *. (By _make_ 2 is meant twist the cotton twice round the needle,
+which forms one long stitch, and is knitted or purled as such in next
+row.)
+
+4th row: Knit 3, * make 2, slip 1, knit 1, and pass the slipped stitch
+over, knit 1, knit 2 together, make 2, knit 5. Repeat from *.
+
+5th row: Purl 3, * make 2, purl 3 together, make 2, purl 7. Repeat
+from*.
+
+6th row: Knit 3, * knit 2 together (1 stitch and 1 long stitch), make 2,
+knit 1, make 2, slip 1, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over (the
+knitted stitch is a _long stitch_), knit 5. Repeat from *.
+
+Continue the pattern by repeating always from the 2nd to the 5th row;
+the 6th row is the repetition of the 2nd row, but it is begun (compare
+the two rows) about the middle of the 2nd row, so as to change the
+places of the thick diamonds in the following pattern. This will be
+easily understood in the course of the work.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+_340.--Knitted Insertion._
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton No. 20 or 30.
+
+Cast on 14 stitches, and knit in rows, backwards and forwards, as
+follows:--1st row: Slip 1, knit 2 together, throw cotton forward, knit
+2, knit 2 together, throw cotton forward, knit 2, knit 2 together, throw
+cotton forward, knit 3. This row is repeated 18 times more; the stitch
+formed by throwing the cotton forward is knitted as 1 stitch.
+
+20th row: Slip 1, knit 2 together, make 1, knit 1; place next 3 stitches
+upon another needle behind the cotton, and leave them alone; knit 1,
+knit 2 together, throw cotton forward, now knit the first 2 of the 3
+stitches which have been left; knit the last of the 3 together with the
+next stitch on the needle, throw cotton forward, knit 3. Repeat these 20
+rows till strip is long enough.

+341 _and_ 342.--_Knitted Cover for Sofa Cushion._
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton No. 12; eight
+ply fleecy wool.
+
+[Illustration: 341.--Stitch for Sofa Cover.]
+
+This cushion (15 inches wide, 12 inches high) is made of grey calico; it
+is covered on one side with knitting, worked with grey crochet cotton.
+The knitted cover has an open-work pattern, worked backwards and
+forwards on a number of stitches which can be divided by 2, and which
+must suit the width of the cushion, in the following manner:--1st row:
+Alternately throw the cotton forward, knit 2 together.
+
+2nd row: Slip 1, knit the other stitches. The stitch formed by throwing
+the cotton forward is knitted as 1 stitch.
+
+3rd row: Knit 1, * throw the cotton forward, knit 2 together. Repeat
+from *; after the last decreasing knit 1.
+
+4th row: Like the 2nd row.
+
+These four rows are repeated till the cover is sufficiently large. Draw
+a narrow piece of red worsted braid through every other open-work row of
+the pattern, as can be seen in illustration 341. When the cushion has
+been covered with the knitting, it is edged all round with a border
+knitted the long way, in the above-mentioned open-work pattern; it is 14
+rows wide, and also trimmed with worsted braid: a fringe of grey cotton
+and red wool, 3 1/4 inches wide, is sewn on underneath the border at the
+bottom of the cushion; to this is added a thick red worsted cord, by
+which the cushion is hung on over the back of an arm-chair. The
+cushion, on account of its simplicity, is especially suitable for garden
+chairs.

+343.--Netted Nightcap.
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton No. 12.
+
+This cap is netted with crochet cotton over a mesh measuring
+three-quarters of an inch round; work first a long square for the centre
+of the crown, cast on 28 stitches, and work backwards and forwards 27
+rows with the same number of stitches. Then work 34 rounds round this
+square, and fasten the cotton. Then count 43 stitches for the front
+border, and 24 stitches for the back border, and leave them for the edge
+of the cap. On the remaining stitches on each side work the strings in
+95 rows backwards and forwards on the same number of stitches; each
+string is pointed off at the lower end by decreasing 1 stitch in every
+row. Sew in a narrow piece of tape in the back border of the cap; the
+remaining part of the border, as well as the strings, are trimmed with
+crochet lace or with netted edging, No. 311.

+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton, 3-thread, No.
+30.
+
+[Illustration: 344.--Netted Nightcap.]
+
+This nightcap is very simple and practical. It consists of two similar
+three-cornered pieces, sewn together so as to form a double triangle;
+the point of the triangle is turned back, as seen in illustration, and
+fastened on the lower half of the same. The cap is edged with a lace; a
+similar lace covers the seam between both parts of the cap. The pattern
+is worked with crochet cotton over a mesh measuring three-quarters of an
+inch round. Begin each half in the corner; cast on 2 stitches, and work
+backwards and forwards, increasing 1 stitch at the end of every row,
+till the number of stitches is 60. Then sew both halves together, and
+trim the cap and strings (the latter are worked as on the cap No. 343)
+with the following lace: work 2 rows of open-work treble stitches--the
+treble stitches are divided by 1 chain--then work 1 row of double,
+always working 4 double round the chain stitches which divide 2 treble
+in the preceding row, or with netted edging No. 311.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+345.--_Knitted Pattern_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton No. 20 for
+couvrettes, or Berlin wool for sofa quilts.
+
+This pattern can be worked either in wool or cotton, and is suitable for
+many purposes. Cast on a sufficient number of stitches, divided by 18,
+for the 1st row: Knit 4, throw the cotton forward, knit 2 together, throw
+the cotton forward knit 2 together, knit 4, purl 6, repeat from *.
+
+2nd row: The stitches knitted in the 1st row are purled as well as the
+stitches formed by throwing the cotton forward; the purled stitches are
+knitted. This row is repeated alternately, therefore we shall not
+mention it again.
+
+3rd row: * Knit 6, throw the cotton forward, knit 2 together, throw the
+cotton forward, knit 2 together, knit 6, purl 2.
+
+5th row: Purl 4, * knit 4, throw the cotton forward, knit 2 together,

+346 _to_ 348.--Knitted Shawl.
+
+Materials: Shetland wool, white and scarlet; steel needles.
+
+[Illustration: 346.--Pattern for Shawl (348).]
+
+[Illustration: 347.--Pattern for Shawl (348).]
+
+This shawl is knitted in the patterns given on Nos. 346 and 347. Both
+illustrations show the patterns worked in coarse wool, so as to be
+clearer. Begin the shawl, which is square, on one side, cast on a
+sufficient number of stitches (on our pattern 290); the needles must not
+be too fine, as the work should be loose and elastic.
+
+Knit first 2 rows plain, then 3 of the open-work row of pattern No. 346,
+which is worked in the following manner:--1st row: Slip the first
+stitch, * knit 2 together, inserting the needle into the back part of
+the stitch, slip 1, knit 2 together, throw the wool twice forward;
+repeat from *.
+
+2nd row: Knit 1 and purl 1 in the stitch formed by throwing the wool
+forward in the preceding row; the other stitches are purled. In the next
+row the holes are alternated--that is, after the 1st slipped stitch knit
+1, throw the wool forward, and then knit twice 2 together.
+
+When 3 such open-work rows are completed, knit 1 row plain, and then
+work the pattern seen on No. 347, which forms the ground, and is worked
+in the following way:--1st row: Slip the 1st stitch, alternately throw
+the wool forward, and decrease by slipping 1 stitch, knitting the next,
+and drawing the slip stitch over the knitted one.
+
+2nd row, entirely purled.
+
+When 6 such rows have been worked in this pattern, work again 9 rows of
+the open-work pattern, but work on each side of the 2 stripes, each 6
+stitches wide, in the pattern of the ground (No. 347); each first stripe
+is at a distance of 4 stitches from the edge, and each second stripe at
+a distance of 20 stitches. After the 9th open-work row, work again 6
+rows in the pattern of the ground, then again 8 open-work rows, and then
+begin the ground, only continue to work on both sides of the shawl the
+narrow stripes of the ground pattern, the narrow outer and the two wide
+inner stripes of the border in the open-work pattern. When the ground
+(pattern No. 347) is square, finish the shawl at the top with two wide
+and one narrow open-work row, as at the bottom, divided by stripes in
+the ground pattern. Knot in, all round the shawl, a fringe of scarlet
+wool; the fringe must be 3-1/2 inches deep.

+
+353.--Alphabet in Coral Stitch.
+
+Material: Coloured ingrain marking cotton, or black sewing silk, or
+filoselle.
+
+The letters of this alphabet are particularly suitable for
+pocket-handkerchiefs. The embroidery is worked either with marking
+cotton, or coloured or black sewing silk; the long white lines are
+worked in overcast stitch, the small white spots in satin stitch, the
+remaining parts of the letters in coral stitch, as can be distinctly

+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Embroidery Cotton No. 16.
+
+This useful alphabet is worked in satin stitch, veined in parts and
+ornamented with tendrils. As the alphabet of capitals (page 377, No.

+
+
+355.--Alphabet (Capitals).
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Embroidery Cotton Nos. 12 and
+20.
+
+This alphabet is worked in raised satin stitch, the outlines being
+partly scalloped; for the fine lines, which should be worked in

+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Embroidery Cotton Nos. 12 and
+16.
+
+The letters are worked in point d'or, or dotted stitch, with an outline
+in fine overcast, and large raised spots in satin stitch. The ornamental
+wreaths round the first five letters can of course be worked round any
+of the others. It is very fashionable to work one letter only upon
+handkerchief corners.
+
+[Illustration: 357.--Alphabet in paint d'or.]
+
+358.--_Alphabet in White Embroidery_.
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Embroidery Cotton No. 16
+
+This alphabet is worked in appliqué; the ears of corn only are worked in
+overcast, satin, and knotted stitch. These letters look particularly
+well on transparent materials. The ears may be omitted by beginners,
+though they add much to the beauty of the alphabet. To this alphabet are
+added the ten numerals, which will be found exceedingly useful. By means
+of the whole alphabet and all these figures, any combination of initials
+and numbers can be made.
+
+[Illustration: 358.--Alphabets and Numerals in White Embroidery.]

+359.--_Alphabet (see page_ 402).
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Embroidery Cotton No. 20; very
+fine black silk.
+
+The vine-leaves and grapes of this graceful and fanciful alphabet are

+
+Materials: cambric muslin or fine linen; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s
+Embroidery Cotton Nos. 16, 18, and 20; red cotton and black silk.
+
+This illustration shows a sampler which will be found useful for
+learning to embroider letters for marking linen. The material used is
+cambric muslin or fine linen. Work the embroidery with white embroidery
+cotton, red cotton, or black silk. The thick parts of the letters are
+worked in slanting satin stitch and back stitch; the outlines of the
+stitched parts are worked in overcast, as well as the fine outlines of
+the letters and all the fine outlines of the patterns. The monograms and
+crowns are worked in a similar manner. Work button-hole stitch round the
+outside of the sampler. The letters and crowns may, of course, be

+few eyelet-holes being introduced.
+
+"Amalie" can easily be altered into "Amelia" by changing the place of
+the _a_ and _e_. In the centre of each letter a large eyelet-hole is
+placed; smaller eyelet-holes of graduated sizes occupy parts of the
+overcast scrolls, which should be worked with No. 20 cotton. The initial
+letter is worked in raised satin stitch.

+
+Lace stitches are introduced in the medallion which incloses these
+letters, the outlines being worked in overcast and point de pois, the
+pens and initials in raised satin stitch, as also the flowers. The open
+portion is filled in with Mechlin wheels, which are thus worked: A
+number of single threads cross each other in the space to be filled up;
+these are placed about a quarter of an inch from each other. All the
+bars in one direction must now be worked in fine button-hole stitch,
+then the opposite bars must be worked, and the button-hole stitch must
+be continued about six inches past the point where the two lines cross.
+The thread must be slipped loosely round the cross twice, running over
+and under alternately, so as to form a circle; then work in button-hole
+to the centre of a quarter of the circle; make a dot by inserting a pin
+in the next button-hole and working three stitches in the loop thus
+formed by the pin. These dots may be omitted from these wheels.

+POINT LACE WORK.
+
+
+
+Lace is of two kinds--pillow lace, which is made upon a cushion or
+pillow, and point lace, which is made of stitches or _points_ worked in
+patterns by hand, which are joined by various stitches forming a
+groundwork, also the result of the needle above.
+
+Pillow lace is entirely worked on the pillow or cushion, the pattern and
+ground being produced at the same time. Pillow lace is sometimes
+correctly called bone or bobbin lace, but it appears that the
+distinction has never been very nicely observed either by lace-workers
+or lace-traders, many sorts which are really pillow lace being called
+point, on account of some peculiarity in the stitch or pattern.
+
+The requisites for producing lace in perfection are the dexterity and
+taste of the workers, and the goodness of the material. To produce many
+beautiful fabrics a mechanical dexterity alone suffices, but in
+lace-making the worker must have some artistic talent, even when
+supplied with designs, for any one can perceive that deviations from the
+design are easily made, and that the slightest alteration by a worker
+wanting in taste will spoil the whole piece of workmanship.
+
+The following illustrations are specimens of ancient and modern laces
+from Mrs. Bury Palliser's collection:--
+
+[Illustration: 419.--Dalecarlian Lace.]
+
+[Illustration: 420.--Old Mechlin.]
+
+[Illustration: 421.--Mechlin Lace (Queen Charlotte's).]
+
+No. 419 shows Dalecarlian lace, made by the women of Dalecarlia. This is
+a coarse kind of lace, and is sewn on caps, &c., and, although highly
+starched, is never washed, for fear of destroying its coffee-coloured
+tint, which, it appears, is as much prized now by the Swedish rustics as
+it was by English ladies in the last century.
+
+[Illustration: 422.--Buckingham Point Trolly, 1851 (Black Lace).]
+
+Both these specimens of Mechlin belonged to Queen Charlotte, who much
+admired this elegant lace.
+
+No. 423.--The Bedford plaited lace is an improvement on the old Maltese.
+
+Honiton guipure lace is distinguished by the groundwork being of various
+stitches, in place of being sewn upon a net ground. The application of
+Honiton sprigs upon bobbin net has been of late years almost superseded
+by this modern guipure. The sprigs, when made, are sewn upon a piece of
+blue paper and united on the pillow with "cutworks" or "purlings," or
+else joined with the needle by various stitches--lacet, point, réseau,
+cutwork, button-hole, and purling.
+
+[Illustration: 423.--Bedford Plaited Lace (1851).]
+
+Those who wish to study lace and lace-making should read Mrs. Bury
+Palliser's _History of Lace_ (Sampson Low and Marston).

+
+POINT LACE.
+
+
+The materials required for this elegant branch of needlework are neither
+numerous nor expensive. TRACING CLOTH, LEATHER, or TOILE CIRÉE, various
+BRAIDS and CORDS, LINEN THREAD and two or three sizes of needles,
+scissors and thimble. TRACING CLOTH is required when ladies copy point
+lace patterns, and is the most convenient mode of taking them, as the
+design can be worked upon the tracing cloth, which, though transparent,
+is very strong; the price is 1s. 6d. per yard. Fine LEATHER is the
+material upon which bought patterns are usually traced, and is decidedly
+more pleasant to work on than is any other material. In selecting
+patterns ladies should choose those traced upon green leather in
+preference to scarlet or buff, as green is better for the eyesight than
+any other colour.
+
+[Illustration: 425.--Point Lace Scissors.]
+
+TOILE CIRÉE is only a substitute for leather, and is not as pleasant to
+work upon in warm weather.
+
+The needles employed are usually Messrs. Walker's needles, Nos. 9 and
+10. The scissors should be small, sharp, and pointed, as in illustration
+No. 425. An ivory thimble may be safely employed in this light work.

+
+[Illustration: 431.--Linen Braid.]
+
+The BRAIDS are of various widths and kinds. None but pure linen braid
+should be employed; those with machine-made edgings are eschewed by many
+lace-workers, the plain, loose-woven linen braid of various widths and
+qualities being alone acceptable to experienced hands.
+
+But all ladies do not care to be at the trouble of edging the braid, and
+will find Nos. 426, 428, 430, and 431 very useful. No. 429 is a plain
+linen braid with a vandyked edge, which works out very prettily. No. 431
+is an edged braid with open holes, in imitation of the point lace work
+of the fifteenth century.
+
+Point lace cords resemble the satin stitch embroidery in their close,
+regular smoothness; the price is 1s. per hank, and they are of various
+thicknesses, from the size of a coarse crochet thread up to that of a
+thick piping cord. These cords are used to ornament the braid, and are
+closely sewn on the braid, following its every outline, and serve as
+_beading_ to the edging, being always sewn on the outer edge alone. The
+finer kinds of this cord are used in place of braid where very light
+work is needed, as in the point lace alphabet which forms the
+frontispiece of this work. Directions for laying on the cord when
+employed as braid are given on page 500. When used as a finish only, and
+to impart the raised appearance of Venice and Spanish lace, it is fixed
+on the braid by plain, close sewing. The thread used should be
+Mecklenburg linen thread; that of Messrs. Walter Evans and Co. we
+strongly recommend as being of pure linen, washing and wearing well; it
+is pleasant to work with, from the regularity and evenness of the make.
+The numbers run thus:--2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36,
+and 40--and will be found adapted for every kind of lace stitch. No. 2
+is the coarsest, No. 40 the finest, size.
+
+In working point lace the following directions must be attended to:
+Begin at the left hand, and work from left to right, when not otherwise
+directed, as in reverse rows. Before cutting off the braid run a few
+stitches across it to prevent it widening. Joins should be avoided, but
+when a join is indispensable, stitch the braid together, open and turn
+back the ends, and stitch each portion down separately. When passing the
+thread from one part to another, run along the centre of the braid,
+allowing the stitches to show as little as possible. In commencing, make
+a few stitches, leaving the end of the thread on the wrong side and
+cutting it off afterwards. In fastening off, make a tight button-hole
+stitch, run on three stitches, bring the needle out at the back, and cut
+off.
+
+Having now completed our list of materials, we can proceed to lay on the
+braid.
+
+[Illustration: 442.--Mode of Placing the Braid.]
+
+TO PLACE THE BRAID.--No. 442 shows the design traced upon paper or
+tracing cloth, and lightly tacked to a foundation of leather or toile
+cirée. Run on a straight line of braid for the lower edge, with fine
+stitches, working as shown from left to right. Take another piece of
+braid, or the other end of the same piece, and begin to lay the braid by
+"running" stitches in its centre, keeping it as smooth and even as
+possible. The outer edge presents no difficulty, but the inner edge will
+not lie evenly without being drawn in by a needle and thread, as
+follows:--Thread a No. 9 needle with No. 12 Mecklenburg thread about 20
+inches long, fasten the thread to one point, and insert the needle in
+and out of the edge of the braid, as if for fine gathering; this thread
+when drawn up will keep the braid in its place. Two or three fastening
+off stitches should be worked when each circle, half circle, or rounded
+curve of a pattern is finished, as the drawing or gathering thread
+remains in the work, and forms an important, though unseen, part of its
+structure.
+
+As much of the beauty of point lace depends upon the manner of placing
+the braid, ladies cannot bestow too much pains upon this part of the
+work, which is a little troublesome to beginners. Many fancy shops now
+undertake this braid-placing for ladies, who can have their own pattern
+braided and commenced or braided alone at trifling expense. Among these
+may be mentioned the following houses:--Goubaud, 30, Henrietta-street,
+Covent-garden. Boutillier, Oxford-street, W.

+The stitches used in point lace may be divided into--

+
+WHEELS, ROSETTES.
+
+The term point lace, or lace stitches (_points_), has of late been
+applied to every stitch executed with Mecklenburg thread, and many
+stitches are erroneously named by modern writers. As there are more than
+one hundred stitches employed in this beautiful art, much study and
+opportunity of seeing specimens of old point lace is required to give a
+novice any idea of the various kinds of point lace; but by attention to
+the following stitches the rudiments of the art may be easily acquired
+and very beautiful lace produced.
+
+The first stitch is POINT DE BRUXELLES, or Brussels lace stitch. This
+stitch, as may be clearly seen in illustration No. 433, is a simple
+button-hole stitch worked loosely and with great regularity. The whole
+beauty of Brussels lace depends upon the evenness of the stitches. This
+stitch is sometimes employed as an edging, but is more often worked in
+rows backwards and forwards, either as a groundwork or to fill spaces,
+as in the point lace collar, No. 496.
+
+[Illustration: 433. Point de Bruxelles (Brussels Lace).]
+
+[Illustration: 434.--Point de Bruxelles (Brussels Lace Worked in Rows).]
+
+Brussels Point is the foundation of nearly all the lace stitches.
+
+
+POINT DE VENISE (Venetian or Venice Point) is worked from left to right,
+like Brussels point. Work one loose button-hole, and in this stitch
+work four button-hole stitches tightly drawn up, then work another loose
+button-hole stitch, then four more tight button-hole stitches in the
+loose one, repeat to the end of the row, and fasten off.
+
+[Illustration: 435.--Point de Venise (Venice Point).]
+
+
+[Illustration: 436.--Petit Point de Venise (Little Venice Point).]
+
+PETIT POINT DE VENISE (Little Venice Point) is worked in the same manner
+as Point de Venise, but one tight stitch only is worked in each loose
+button-hole stitch. This is a most useful stitch for filling small
+spaces.
+
+
+[Illustration: 437.--Point d'Espagne (Spanish Point).]
+
+No. 437.--POINT D'ESPAGNE (Spanish Point) is worked from left to right
+as follows:--Insert the needle in the edge of the braid, keeping the
+thread turned to the right, bringing it out inside the loop formed by
+the thread (see illustration No. 437); the needle must pass from the
+back of the loop through it. Pass the needle under the stitch and bring
+it out in front, thus twice twisting the thread, which produces the
+cord-like appearance of this stitch. At the end of each row fasten to
+the braid and return by sewing back, inserting the needle once in every
+open stitch.
+
+
+[Illustration: 438.--Close Point d'Espagne (Close Spanish Point).]
+
+No. 438.--POINT D'ESPAGNE (Close) is worked in the same way as open
+point d'Espagne, but so closely as to only allow the needle to pass
+through in the next row. This stitch is also worked from left to right;
+fasten to the braid at the end of each row, and sew back to the left
+again.
+
+
+No. 439.--TREBLE POINT D'ESPAGNE is worked in exactly the same way as
+the open and close point d'Espagne, as may be seen in illustration No.
+439.
+
+Three close stitches, one open, three close to the end of each row. Sew
+back, and in the next row begin one open, three close, one open, then
+close to the end; repeat the rows as far as necessary, taking care that
+the close and open stitches follow in regular order. Diamonds, stars,
+and various patterns may be formed with this stitch.
+
+[Illustration: 439.--Treble Point d'Espagne (Treble Spanish Point).]
+
+
+No. 440.--POINT DE GRECQUE is begun from left to right, is worked
+backwards and forwards, and is begun by one stitch in loose point de
+Bruxelles and three of close point d'Espagne; then one Brussels, three
+point d'Espagne to the end of the row; in returning work back in the
+same manner.
+
+[Illustration: 440.--Point de Grecque (Grecian Point).]
+
+
+No. 441. POINT DE VALENCIENNES (Valenciennes Stitch).--This stitch
+appears complicated, but is really easy to work. Begin at the left hand
+and work six point de Bruxelles stitches at unequal distance, every
+alternate stitch being larger. 2nd row: Upon the first large or long
+stitch work 9 close button-hole stitches, then 1 short point de
+Bruxelles stitch under the one above, then 9 close stitches, and so on
+to the end of row (right to left).
+
+[Illustration: 441.--Point de Valenciennes (Valenciennes Stitch).]
+
+3rd row: 5 close button-hole in the 9 of previous row, 1 short point de
+Bruxelles, 2 close in the Bruxelles stitch, 1 short point de Bruxelles,
+5 close, 1 short point de Bruxelles, 2 close, l short, 5 close, 1 short,
+and repeat. 4th row: 5 close, 1 short point de Bruxelles, 2 close, 1
+short, 5 close, 1 short, 2 close, l short, and repeat. Continue the rows
+until sufficient of the pattern is worked.
+
+
+[Illustration: 442.--Point d'Alençon, with Twisted Stitch.]
+
+No. 442. POINT D'ALENÇON.--This stitch is used to fill up narrow spaces
+where great lightness is required. Point d'Alençon is worked under and
+over in alternate stitches, like hem stitch. Nos. 442 and 443 show point
+d'Alençon. In No. 442 a twisted stitch is worked over the plain point
+d'Alençon, which is clearly shown in No. 443; this twist is made by
+passing the thread three times round each plain bar, and working the
+knot shown in illustration No. 442 over _both_ strands of the bar.
+
+[Illustration: 443.--Point d'Alençon, with Button-hole Stitch.]
+
+The POINT D'ALENÇON No. 443 is a festoon of close button-hole stitch
+worked over the plain bars.
+
+
+[Illustration: 444.--Point d'Angleterre (Open English Lace).]
+
+No. 444.--POINT D'ANGLETERRE (Open English Lace).--Open English Lace is
+thus worked:--Cover the space to be filled in with lines of thread about
+one-eighth of an inch apart, then form cross lines, intersecting those
+already made and passing alternately under and over them; work a rosette
+on every spot where two lines cross, by working over and under the two
+lines about 16 times round, then twist the thread twice round the
+groundwork thread, and begin to form another rosette at the crossing
+threads. No. 445 shows this stitch much enlarged.
+
+[Illustration: 445.--Point d'Angleterre (Enlarged).]
+
+
+No. 446,--POINT TURQUE (Turkish Stitch).--This easy and effective stitch
+looks well for filling either large or small spaces; the thread employed
+should be varied in thickness according to the size of the space to be
+filled. 1st row: Work a loop, bringing the thread from right to left,
+passing the needle through the twist and through the loop, draw up tight
+and repeat. 2nd row: 1 straight thread from right to left. 3rd row: Work
+the same as first using the straight thread in place of the braid, and
+passing the needle through the loop of previous row, as shown in
+illustration No. 446.
+
+[Illustration: 446.--Point Turque.]
+
+
+No. 447.--CORDOVA STITCH is useful for varying other stitches. It
+resembles the point de reprise of guipure d'art, and is worked in a
+similar manner over and under the side of squares formed by straight and
+parallel lines. (See No. 448.)
+
+[Illustration: 447.--Point de Cordova (Cordova Stitch).]
+
+
+No. 448.--POINT DE REPRISE.--This stitch is worked by darning over and
+under two threads, forming a triangle. The space is filled by parallel
+and cross-way bars, placed at equal distances, and on the triangles thus
+produced point de reprise is worked.
+
+[Illustration: 448.--Point de Reprise.]
+
+
+No. 449.--POINT BRABANÇON (Brabançon Lace) is worked as follows:--Left
+to right. 1st row: 1 long loose, 1 short loose, point de Bruxelles
+alternately to end of row. 2nd row: 7 tight point de Bruxelles in the 1
+long loose stitch, 2 short loose point de Bruxelles in the short loose
+stitch of previous row, repeat. 3rd row: Same as first.
+
+[Illustration: 449.--Point Brabançon (Brabançon Lace).]
+
+
+[Illustration: 450.--Point de Fillet (Net Groundwork Stitch).]
+
+[Illustration: 451.--Point de Fillet and Point de Reprise.]
+
+No. 450 is used for groundwork where Brussels net is not imitated, and
+is very effective. It is begun in the corner or crosswise of the space
+to be filled. A loose point de Bruxelles stitch is first taken and
+fastened to the braid, then passed twice through the braid as shown in
+illustration, and worked in rows backwards and forwards as follows:--1
+point de Bruxelles stitch; before proceeding to the next stitch pass the
+needle _under_ the knot, _over_ the thread, and again _under_ it, as
+shown in illustration No. 450. This stitch is very quickly worked. No.
+451 shows point de fillet applied in filling a space, with a few
+stitches of point de reprise worked upon this pretty groundwork.
+
+
+No. 452.--POINT DE TULLE.--This stitch is used as a groundwork for very
+fine work, and is worked in rows backwards and forwards in the same
+stitch as open point d'Espagne, page 457. When this is completed the
+work is gone over a second time, by inserting the needle under one
+twisted bar, bringing it out and inserting it at +, and bringing it out
+again at the dot. This produces a close double twist which is very
+effective.
+
+[Illustration: 452.--Point de Tulle.]
+
+
+No. 453.--MECHLIN LACE (Mechlin Wheels).--This is one of the prettiest
+stitches in point lace, but also one of the most difficult to work
+correctly. It is thus worked:--Work a number of diagonal bars in
+button-hole stitch on a single thread in one direction, then begin in
+the opposite side the same way, and work 5 or 6 stitches past the spot
+where the two lines cross, pass the thread round the cross twice under
+and over the thread to form a circle. Work in button-hole stitch half
+one quarter, make a dot by putting a fine pin in the loop instead of
+drawing the thread tight, and work 3 button-hole stitches in the loop
+held open by the pin, then take it out, and continue as before.
+Beginners will do well to omit the dot, leaving the loop only on the
+wheel. Mechlin wheels are also worked in rows upon horizontal and
+parallel lines of thread.
+
+[Illustration: 453.--Mechlin Lace Wheels.]
+
+
+No. 454.--ESCALIER LACE.--This useful lace may be varied in pattern to
+any extent by placing the open stitches in any desired order; it then
+takes the name of diamond or Antwerp lace, according to the design. True
+escalier lace is made by working nine button-hole stitches close
+together; then miss 3--that is, work none in the space that 3 stitches
+would occupy--work 9, miss 3 as before to the end of row, begin the 2nd
+row 3 stitches from the end, to cause the open spaces to fall in
+diagonal lines--a succession of steps or stairs (_escalier_), which
+gives name to this stitch.
+
+[Illustration: 454.--Escalier Lace Worked in Diamonds.]
+
+
+No. 455.--SPANISH POINT LACE is adorned with highly-raised scrolls,
+flowers, &c. This is effected by working over an underlay of coarse
+white thread or over fine white linen cords. The wheels are worked by
+winding soft coarse linen thread round pencils or smooth knitting-pins
+of various sizes, and working over the circle thus obtained a succession
+of close button-hole stitches. These wheels are sewn on to the lace when
+completed. The groundwork of Spanish lace is usually worked in what are
+called Raleigh Bars (see page 477), but this lace has sometimes for
+groundwork point de Venise. An easy mode of working this handsome lace
+is to trace the design upon very fine good linen; raise the thick parts
+as above directed, and embroider the whole in fine thick scalloped
+button-hole stitch; fill the ground with Raleigh bars, or, as shown in
+illustration No. 455, in treble point de Venise, and cut away the linen
+from beneath the groundwork.
+
+[Illustration: 455.--Spanish Point Lace (Worked à l'Anglaise).]
+
+
+
+WHEELS AND ROSETTES.
+
+
+Wheels or rosettes are used to fill up circles, or in combination to
+form lace. The simplest is--
+
+THE SORRENTO WHEEL.--Nos. 456 and 457.--This is worked by fastening the
+thread in the pattern to be filled up by means of the letters. Fasten it
+first at the place _a_, then at the place _b_, carrying it back to the
+middle of the first formed bar by winding it round, fasten the cotton at
+the place _c_, carrying it back again to the centre by winding it round
+the bar, and so on; then work over and under the bars thus formed as in
+English lace. See page 462, and illustrations Nos. 456 and 457.
+
+[Illustration: 456 and 457.--Sorrento Wheels.]
+
+
+No. 458.--ENGLISH WHEEL.--This is worked in the same manner as the
+Sorrento wheel, but instead of _winding_ the thread over and under the
+bars, the needle is inserted under each bar and brought out again
+between the thread and the last stitch; this gives a kind of button-hole
+stitch, and gives the square, firm appearance possessed by this wheel.
+
+[Illustration: 458.--English Wheel.]
+
+
+No. 459.--ROSETTE IN POINT D'ANGLETERRE.--This rosette is worked in a
+somewhat similar manner to the wheel above described, the difference
+being that after each stitch passed round and under the bars, the thread
+is passed loosely round in the reverse direction, as shown in
+illustration No. 459, before proceeding to make the next stitch.
+
+[Illustration: 459.--Rosette in Raised Point d'Angleterre.]
+
+
+No. 460 is a rosette or star which is used to fill circles of braid, and
+forms the centre of many modern point lace patterns. It is worked upon
+a pattern traced and pricked in small holes at equal distances. Two
+threads are employed, one coarse tracing thread, the other of finer
+thread. The coarse thread is laid on thus:--Pass the needle containing
+the fine thread, No. 12, through one of the pricked holes, over the
+tracing thread and back through the same hole; repeat, following the
+traced outline until the whole of the coarse thread is laid over the
+outline, then work over in tight button-hole stitch with picots or
+purls, as on the Raleigh bars (see page 477). This mode of laying on
+tracing or outlining thread is also applied to fine braid and to point
+lace cord, as in the alphabet No. 400 (see page 500).
+
+[Illustration: 460.--Rosette for centre of Point Lace Circles.]
+
+
+
+BARS.
+
+
+The word _Bar_ is applied to the various stitches used to connect the
+various parts of point lace work, and the beauty of the work depends
+greatly upon the class of bar and its suitability to the lace stitches
+used. The simplest bar is--
+
+No. 461.--THE SORRENTO BAR.--It is worked from right to left, a straight
+thread being carried across and fastened with a stitch. The return row
+consists of a simple twist under and over the straight thread; three of
+these bars are usually placed close together at equal distances between
+each group. The thread is sewn over the braid in passing from one spot
+to another.
+
+[Illustration: 461.--Sorrento Bars.]
+
+[Illustration: 462.--Sorrento Bars.]
+
+Sorrento bars are also applied as shown in illustration No. 462.
+
+
+No. 463.--D ALENCON BARS are worked upon point de Bruxelles edging, and
+are only applied to the inner part of a pattern, never being used as
+groundwork bars. The thread is merely passed three times over and under
+the point de Bruxelles stitches, the length of these bars being
+regulated by the space to be filled; when the third bar is completed a
+tight point de Bruxelles stitch is used to fasten off the bar, the
+thread is passed through the next point de Bruxelles stitch, and a
+second bar begun.
+
+[Illustration: 463.--D'Alençon Bars.]
+
+
+[Illustration: 464.--Venetian Bar.]
+
+No. 464.--THE VENETIAN BAR is so simple that it hardly needs
+description. It is worked over two straight threads in reverse
+button-hole stitch. No. 465 shows the Venetian bar applied as the
+"veining" of leaf, and worked upon Sorrento bars.
+
+[Illustration: 465.--Venetian Bar.]
+
+
+No. 466.--VENETIAN BARS are worked so as to form squares, triangles,
+&c., in button-hole stitch upon a straight thread. The arrow in the
+illustration points to the direction for working the next.
+
+[Illustration: 466.--- Plain Venetian Bars.]
+
+
+No. 467.--BARS OF POINT D'ANGLETERRE.--These bars may be worked singly
+or to fill up a space, as in illustration. Work rosettes as in point
+d'Angleterre, page 461; when each rosette is finished twist the thread
+up the foundation thread to the top, fasten with one stitch, then pass
+it under the parallel line running through the centre and over into the
+opposite braid; repeat on each side of each rosette, inserting the
+threads as in illustration.
+
+[Illustration: 467.--Bars of Point d'Angleterre.]
+
+
+No. 468.--POINT DE VENISE BARS (EDGED).--Begin at the right hand and
+stretch a line of thread to the left side of the braid, fastening it
+with one tight stitch of point de Bruxelles. Upon this line work a
+succession of tight point de Bruxelles stitches. In every third stitch
+work one point de Venise stitch.
+
+[Illustration: 468.--Point de Venise Bars (Edged).]
+
+
+No. 469.--We now come to the most important feature of BARS--the _dot,
+picot_, or _purl_, for by all these names it is known. This dot is
+worked in various ways upon different lace bars. Dotted point de Venise
+bars are worked as follow:--
+
+[Illustration: 469.--Dotted Point de Venise Bars.]
+
+Stretch the thread from right to left, on this work five tight stitches
+of point de Bruxelles, then insert a pin in this last stitch to hold it
+open and loose, pass the needle under the loose stitch and over the
+thread, as clearly shown in illustration No. 469, and in this loop work
+three tight point de Bruxelles stitches. Then work five more stitches,
+and repeat to end of row.
+
+
+[Illustration: 470.--Picot or Dot on Sorrento Bar.]
+
+No. 470 shows a dot or picot upon a Sorrento bar worked between rows of
+point de Bruxelles, three twisted stitches being worked into the loop
+left by the twisted thread; this forms a picot resembling satin stitch
+in appearance.
+
+
+Nos. 471 and 472.--RALEIGH BARS are worked over a foundation or network
+of coarse thread, twisted in places so as to more easily fall into the
+desired form.
+
+[Illustration: 471.--Raleigh Bars.]
+
+[Illustration 472.--Network for Working Raleigh Bars.]
+
+
+By following the numbering from No. 1 to 21, in No. 472, a square place
+may be easily filled, and portions of this arrangement applied to form
+groundwork of any shape desired. Upon this groundwork tight point de
+Bruxelles stitches are worked, and the dot worked upon these in one of
+the following ways:--
+
+DOT or PICOT.--1st Mode: Five tight point de Bruxelles stitches, one
+loose point de Bruxelles; pass the needle under the loop and over the
+thread, as shown in point de Venise bars No. 469, draw up, leaving a
+small open loop as in tatting. Work five tight point de Bruxelles and
+repeat. 2nd Mode: Proceed as above, but instead of continuing the tight
+stitches work two or three tight stitches in the loop thus formed, and
+repeat. 3rd Mode: Work four tight point de Bruxelles stitches, one
+loose, through which pass the needle point, wind the thread three or
+four times round the point, as shown in illustration No. 473, press the
+thumb tightly on this, and draw the needle and thread through the
+twists. This is a quick mode of making the picot, and imitates most
+closely the real Spanish lace.
+
+
+Illustration No. 473 also shows how this stitch may be applied as a
+_regular_ groundwork, but the beauty of old point groundwork bars is the
+variety of form.
+
+[Illustration: 473.--Third mode of making Picots or Dots.]
+
+
+
+EDGES AND PURL FINISH.
+
+
+The correct edging of lace is a most important part of this art, and
+care should be taken to work a proper edge for each kind of lace.
+Sorrento edging should be worked upon Limoges lace. Spanish lace
+requires a full rich edge, as shown in No. 478, &c. The simplest edge is
+point de Bruxelles, which is worked somewhat like the stitch No. 433,
+and is secured by a knot worked in the braid. Many lace-workers omit
+this knot.
+
+[Illustration: 474.--Point de Bruxelles Edging.]
+
+
+No. 475.--SORRENTO EDGING is worked with one short and one long stitch
+alternately.
+
+[Illustration: 475.--Sorrento Edging.]
+
+
+No. 476.--POINT DE VENISE is worked precisely like that stitch (see page
+456), three and even four stitches being worked in the loop.
+
+[Illustration: 476.--Point de Venise Edging.]
+
+
+No. 477.--POINT D'ANGLETERRE EDGING is worked in point de Bruxelles, the
+thread being again drawn through the braid before proceeding to the next
+stitch. This edging is strong and useful.
+
+[Illustration: 477.--Point d'Angleterre Edging.]
+
+No. 478.--POINT D'ESPAGNE EDGING.--This stitch is easily worked. Insert
+the point of the needle through the braid and wind the thread round it
+20 times, draw the needle through these windings and draw the picot
+tight, sew over the braid the space of 3 stitches, and repeat.
+
+[Illustration: 478.--Point d'Espagne Edging.]
+
+
+No. 479.--ANTWERP EDGE.--This edge is only a variety of point
+d'Angleterre edging, and differs only in the mode of making the knot;
+the thread is passed over, under, and through the loop formed by the
+point de Bruxelles lace.
+
+[Illustration: 479.--Antwerp Edge.]

+
+Materials: Fine lace braid or cord; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s
+Mecklenburg thread No. 24.
+
+This border is suited for a handkerchief or for trimming a square
+bodice. The braid is not tacked on by stitches running through the
+centre, as is usual in point lace braids, but sewn on by passing a
+thread from underneath over the braid and out through the same hole, as
+is done by lace-workers with a thick thread; this forms the design. The
+stitches employed in this pattern are Raleigh bars, which connect the
+work; Sorrento edging, which finishes the whole outline; English
+rosettes filling the open spaces. Point lace cord may be used for this
+in place of braid.

+GUIPURE D'ART.
+
+
+
+INSTRUCTIONS AND PATTERNS
+
+IN
+
+GUIPURE D'ART.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+Ancient Guipure was a lace made of thin vellum, covered with gold,
+silver, or silk thread, and the word Guipure derives its name from the
+silk when thus twisted round vellum being called by that name. In
+process of time the use of vellum was discontinued, and a cotton
+material replaced it. Guipure lace was called _intelle à cartisane_ in
+England in the sixteenth century. Various modern laces are called
+Guipure, but the word is misapplied, since Guipure lace is that kind
+only where one thread is twisted round another thread or another
+substance, as in the ancient Guipure d'Art.
+
+In every design where lace can be introduced, Guipure d'Art will be
+found useful. It looks particularly well when mounted upon quilted silk
+or satin. The squares, when worked finely, look well as toilet-cushions,
+or, if worked in coarser thread, make admirable couvrettes, and as
+covers for eider-down silk quilts are very elegant. Guipure squares
+should be connected by guipure lace, crochet, or tatting, or they may be
+edged with narrow guipure lace and joined at the corners only when
+placed over coloured silk or satin; thus arranged, a sofa-cushion
+appears in alternate squares of plain and lace-covered silk; a ruche of
+ribbon and fall of lace to correspond completes this pretty mounting.
+
+Not one of the least important attractions of Guipure d'Art is the speed
+with which it is worked, and the ease with which fresh patterns are
+designed by skilful workers.
+
+GUIPURE D'ART is an imitation of the celebrated ancient Guipure Lace,
+and is worked in raised and intersected patterns upon a square network
+of linen thread, Mecklenburg thread of various sizes being used for this
+purpose. The needles employed are blunt, and have large eyes, to admit
+the linen thread.
+
+Materials required: One frame of wire covered with silk ribbon; one
+square of Mecklenburg thread net (_fillet_), either coarse or fine;
+Mecklenburg thread; netting-needles and meshes of various sizes.
+
+The netted foundation, or "_fillet_," upon which this elegant work is
+embroidered, can be made by ladies very easily, and at much less cost
+than when bought ready made.
+
+The square is worked by netting with coarse No. 2 or fine No.10 thread
+over a mesh measuring three-quarters of an inch or more, in rows
+backwards and forwards. Begin with 2 stitches, and increase 1 at the end
+of every row till you have one more stitch than is required for the
+number of holes. Thus, if a square of 26 holes is required, continue to
+increase up to 27 stitches, then decrease 1 at the end of every row till
+2 stitches only remain. The last 2 stitches are knotted together without
+forming a fresh stitch.
+
+The completed foundation is laced upon the frame, taking the lacing
+cotton through the double edge formed by the increased and decreased
+stitches. If the four corners of the netting are tied at each corner of
+the frame before beginning the lacing, that operation is greatly
+facilitated. The netting should be laced as tightly as possible, it
+being far easier to darn on than when loose.
+
+[Illustration: 503.--Frame for Guipure d'Art.]
+
+Ladies who wish to excel in working guipure d'art should practise each
+of the stitches until they attain perfect regularity and quickness in
+their execution. Two or three hours devoted to this in the first
+instance will not be time wasted, as the most elaborate pattern will be
+worked with ease as soon as the stitches are mastered.
+
+The Mecklenburg thread of Messrs. Walter Evans and Co., of Derby, will
+be found a better colour than any other, as it closely resembles the
+shade of the ancient guipure lace.
+
+It is sold only in spools of 200 yards each, and the numbers run as
+follow; No. 2, 4, 6, 8, lo, 12, 16, 20; No. 2 being the coarsest, and
+No. 20 the finest.
+
+The principal stitches used in guipure d'art are POINT D'ESPRIT, POINT
+DE TOILE, POINT DE FESTON, POINT DE REPRISE, POINT DE BRUXELLES, and
+WHEELS and STARS. POINT D'ESPRIT is worked with finer cotton than the
+foundation, say No. 10 on a foundation of No. 6. It consists of a
+succession of small loops, as will be seen clearly in the illustration.
+The learner should begin from the mark * No. 503, and working a row of
+loops the length required, turn the frame and work loops on the opposite
+half of each square intersecting the first worked loops in the centre of
+each intervening bar of netting. A careful examination of Nos. 503 and
+506 will explain this more clearly than is possible in words.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 504.--Point d'Esprit.]
+
+POINT DE TOILE, or LINEN STITCH, is plain darning under and over each
+thread; this forms a fine close groundwork, and is much used in guipure
+d'art. Care should be taken to keep the same number of stitches in each
+square, both along and across; the number of threads shown in
+illustration No. 504 is 4 only, but 6 and even 8 are used in many netted
+foundations in fine patterns.
+
+[Illustration: 505.--Point de Toile.]
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+POINT DE FESTON is worked by a series of overcast stitches, as seen by
+illustration 506, which clearly shows the manner of working. The frame
+is turned at each stitch, the stitches are taken across the squares, and
+increase in length at the top of the square.
+
+[Illustration: 506.--Point de Feston.]
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+POINT DE REPRISE, or DARNING, is worked by stretching 2 or 3 threads
+over 1, or 2, or more squares. The thread is darned over and under, and
+the needle used to arrange the last stitch while passing through to form
+the next. This stitch is very easily acquired. It is always worked with
+coarser thread than the foundation; No. 2 thread should be employed for
+a coarse groundwork. No. 510 shows this stitch used to form stars,
+figures, &c.
+
+[Illustration: 507--Point de Reprise.]
+
+[Illustration: 508.--Leaf.]
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+POINT DE BRUXELLES, as shown on pages 506 and 507, is a kind of loose
+button-hole stitch, and is used for forming various patterns and for
+filling up squares. It also forms "leaves," when the number of stitches
+is decreased each row until the leaf finishes off in a point. Nos. 509
+and 510 clearly show this stitch.
+
+[Illustration: 509.--Point de Bruxelles.]
+
+[Illustration: 510.--Point de Bruxelles.]
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+WHEELS are easy to work, and are begun in the centre. Four threads are
+taken across, as shown in design No. 511; the thread is twisted in
+bringing it back to the centre, and the wheel formed by passing the
+thread under and over the netting and the crossing threads. It is
+fastened off on the back of the several wheels.
+
+[Illustration: 511.--Wheel (commenced).]
+
+[Illustration: 512.--Wheel.]
+
+Wheel No. 513 is a square wheel, and is worked in the same manner, with
+the addition of point d'esprit loops, through which, and under and over
+the cross-twisted threads, 4 or 5 rows of thread are passed.
+
+[Illustration: 513.--Square Wheel.]
+
+[Illustration: 514.--Wheel larger than its real size.]
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+STARS are of various form, as shown in Nos. 516, 517, 518, 519, and 520.
+
+No. 516 is worked in point de feston (see page 507) round a single
+square hole, which is filled in by a small wheel or rosette.
+
+No. 517 is worked in point de feston and point de Bruxelles,
+alternately round a centre simply crossed by point d'esprit threads.
+
+[Illustration: 516.--Star.]
+
+No. 518 is more elaborate, and is worked thus:--Begin at the place
+marked _a_; twist the linen thread 3 times round the nearest thread,
+draw it on to the knot _b_; repeat this 3 times, following the order of
+the letters; twist the linen thread also between the threads, as can be
+seen from the illustration, and fasten it underneath the knot _a_; for
+the wheel fasten on the cotton afresh and work the remaining pattern in
+darning stitch (point de reprise).
+
+[Illustration: 517.--Star.]
+
+[Illustration: 518.--Star.]
+
+No. 520 consists of a double cross formed by twisted loops of linen
+thread. Copy these loops exactly from illustration 520 One part of the
+straight cross lies underneath, then comes the slanting cross, and
+lastly, the other part of the straight cross.
+
+[Illustration: 519.--Detail of Star.]
+
+[Illustration: 520.--Star.]
+
+In the centre the loops of linen thread are fastened with two rounds of
+stitches. (See illustration 520).
+
+OVERCAST STITCH is worked like embroidery overcast, and forms the stems
+of the flowers and leaves of guipure d'art; it is worked over one or two
+coarse threads. It is employed in No. 530, and forms the triangles in
+the centre of the middle squares.

+521.--_Insertion in Guipure d'Art._
+
+Materials: Guipure frame netting of 6 holes wide; Mecklenburg thread No.
+8 or 10; needle No. 7.
+
+For the netted foundation, which is six holes wide, begin at one corner
+with 2 stitches, work 5 rows, at the end of each of which increase 1
+stitch, continue to work the strip with the same number of stitches,
+alternately decreasing 1 at the end of one row and increasing 1 at the
+end of the next. For decreasing net 2 stitches together, for increasing
+net 2 stitches in the same hole. When the strip is sufficiently long,
+complete it by decreasing in the same proportion as the increasing at
+the beginning. As the pattern is so clearly shown in the illustration,
+it will be very easy to work from it. It is worked in point de feston
+and star wheels; the border is in point d'esprit. The insertion is
+finished on either side with a row of button-hole stitches.

+like the one seen in illustration; the rosette in the centre is shown in
+full size. The square is worked in point d'esprit, linen stitch, and
+point de reprise. Each of the leaves of the foliage is worked in one
+hole of the netting; they are worked by throwing the cotton three times
+across the hole, and working darning stitch on them. The stem is worked
+in overcast on the thread of the netting. The daisy in the centre is
+worked like the leaves, each leaf taking up one or more holes of the
+netting.

+lines of point de feston, with a border of point d'esprit and point de
+toile; a four-point star occupies the centre of the triangle left by the
+zigzag line. This pattern is so easy to work that it hardly needs
+description, the only part requiring care being the squares of point de
+feston; these are begun in the centre, and the thread should be drawn
+rather tightly so as to form a good square.

+linen stitch. There are large stars in the corners; these stars are
+worked in raised darning stitch only, and fastened on the netting at the
+points of each brand; in the centre of the star there is a wheel (see
+No. 515) edged with button-hole stitch. The pattern for the centre, one
+quarter of which only is seen in the illustration, consists of 4
+branches forming small triangles in point de Bruxelles, 4 open-worked
+stars or wheels worked over 4 holes of the netting, and a four-branched
+centre of point de feston with a wheel in the middle.

+
+[Illustration: 531.--Square Pattern in Guipure d'Art.]
+
+No. 531. The outer border of this pretty square is worked in point
+d'esprit, the inner border in point de toile; then follows a round of
+small wheels or rosettes.
+
+For these, fasten the cotton to one of the knots of the first square
+stitch of this round, work one loop upon each of the three other knots,
+so as to form a slanting cross; then work round the centre point of the
+cross, passing alternately under and over its branches, then twist the
+cotton over the threads of the foundation until the next square is
+reached, and begin another wheel.
+
+[Illustration: 532.--Square Pattern in Guipure d'Art.]
+
+The centre of No. 531 is composed of wheels and point de reprise; the
+pattern round the centre is worked in point de feston, differing a
+little from that given on pages 505 and 506, but the illustration
+clearly shows the difference.
+
+No. 532 has similar borders to No. 531; the centre is occupied by a star
+(see page 512) in point de feston; four large wheels surround this; the
+square stitches between are filled with small wheels and with groups of
+long loops, fastened together in sheaves. Point d'esprit and point de
+toile, worked one way only, complete this square.

+[Illustration: 533.--Pattern in Guipure d'Art.]
+
+No. 533 is a succession of point de feston stitches, which half fill
+each square of the netting. This pattern must be worked with great
+regularity.
+
+[Illustration: 534.--Pattern in Guipure d'Art.]
+
+No. 534 consists of a kind of double point d'esprit.
+
+No. 535 is a thread twisted and taken _across_ each square, and
+resembles lace stitches.
+
+[Illustration: 535.--Pattern in Guipure d'Art.]
+
+No. 536 is a succession of small close wheels, intermingled with point
+d'esprit. This grounding is very effective.

+They are worked on netting with very fine cotton in the usual manner,
+beginning on two stitches in one corner The different stitches of the
+guipure darning can be distinctly seen in illustration, and are point de
+feston, point de reprise, point de toile, and point d'esprit on No. 538,
+and the same stitches surround a wheel in No. 538_a_.

+540 _and_ 541.--_Square in Guipure Point de Venise (Reticella)_
+
+Materials: Coarse or fine linen; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s
+Mecklenburg thread No. 4 or 12.
+
+[Illustration: 540.--Square in Point de Venise.]
+
+[Illustration: 541.--Quarter Square in Reticella Work (Enlarged).]
+
+This square is worked in the so-called point de Venise, together with
+other squares; it is very pretty for covers, toilet cushions, &c. It is
+worked on coarse or fine linen, according to the use you wish to make
+of it. Prepare a square piece of linen, by drawing out long and cross
+threads, so as to form perfect squares. In the pattern No. 540, which is
+worked on fine linen, 28 threads have been drawn out, both the long and
+cross way; 8 squares are formed in this way each time that 28 threads
+have been drawn out; leave 7 or 8 threads of the ground, which form the
+framework. Then fasten the piece of linen on cardboard, and work close
+button-hole stitch round the inner edge Then work with darning stitch
+over the long and cross threads of the ground.
+
+From No. 541, which shows the fourth part of the square 4 times larger
+than full size, it is easy to see how the framework is darned. When the
+latter is entirely darned, work the patterns in the different squares in
+button-hole stitch. The circular and serpentine patterns consist of 3
+rows of button-hole stitch; the patterns which imitate whole rosettes
+and half rosettes are worked in rows of button-hole stitch. For each row
+the thread must be first drawn from one place to the other, as can be
+seen in illustration, and fastened on the framework. The knots in the
+last button-hole stitched row are made by working in each stitch when
+completed, another stitch, and drawing the cotton again through the
+first completed knot. It is easy, however, to work all the patterns from
+No. 541. The dotted lines in the right-hand corner show the direction of
+the patterns which are wanting there. The square is edged all round with
+an open-work hem, which can also be worked from No. 541.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Mecklenburg thread No. 20, and
+cotton No. 80.
+
+For working this cover, one part of which is shown in our illustration
+two-thirds of its full size, work first a straight strip of netting for
+the foundation, which must count as many holes in width as are required
+for the width of the covering. The size of the holes depends on the size
+of the knitting-needle or mesh which you use. The pattern is worked with
+cotton No. 80, over a steel knitting-needle which measures two-fifths of
+an inch round. Begin the strip in one corner. Cast on 2 stitches, and
+work in rows backwards and forwards, increasing 1 stitch at the end of
+every row, till you have 1 stitch more than the stripe is to have holes
+in width, on our pattern 68 stitches; then work 1 row on the same number
+of stitches, and then increase alternately 1 stitch at the end of 1 row,
+and decrease 1 at the end of the next, till the strip is 250 stitches
+long. The strip is finished off in a straight line at the bottom by
+working a certain number of rows in which the last stitch remains
+untouched. At the beginning of the row do not work 1 stitch ever the
+mesh, but only 1 knot in the stitch of the preceding row, so that the
+cotton is drawn on tight. When the strip is completed, trace from No.
+568 the outlines for the pattern of each of the eight parts of the
+parasol with double thread, in such a manner that two parts lie next to
+each other, but reversed, that is, the point of one part must lie next
+to the wide part of the next part. Then work in each part the pattern
+seen in illustration, and afterwards each part round with button-hole
+stitch, working over the double outline. Cut out the different parts,
+and sew them together on the wrong side with close overcast stitch.

+and four-fifths long, four inches wide, and is fastened with a loop and
+button. The back, front, side, and the flap are worked all in one piece.
+The netting is worked with white thread No. 12, over a mesh measuring at
+least two-fifths of an inch round. For the flap the netting must be
+slanted off on both sides; this is done either by decreasings, or by
+cutting off the corners of the work. The latter is then darned in linen
+stitch, darning stitch, and point d'esprit, from No. 572, which shows
+the front of the case, and from No. 571, which shows the back. The
+netting is then lined with blue satin, and sewn together at the sides
+with button-hole stitches on the right side. The flap is edged with
+button-hole stitch; sew on a small button, and make a small loop to
+correspond. The case is edged all round with blue silk cord.

+
+Materials: Netting; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Mecklenburg thread
+No. 12; carved oak stand; glacé silk; cords; tassels.
+
+Banner-screens are used in two ways, either suspended from the
+mantelpiece or mounted as shown in illustration No. 573. The banner is
+23 inches long, 19 inches wide, lined with coloured glacé silk, and
+edged with a lace border of guipure d'art. The design for the banner is
+given in page 554. Work the netting for the groundwork over a larger or
+smaller mesh, according to the size you wish it to be. The pattern is
+worked in point d'esprit, point de reprise, and point de toile. When the
+ pattern is completed, line the banner with coloured silk, edge with a
+gathered border of guipure d'art, finish with coloured silk cords and
+tassels. The banner may be finished off in close button-hole stitch,
+instead of adding the lace border.

+BERLIN WORK
+
+
+INSTRUCTIONS.
+
+Berlin Work includes every kind of stitch which is made upon canvas with
+wool, silk, or beads. The principal stitches used are common cross
+stitch, Gobelin stitch, leviathan stitch, raised or velvet stitch, tent
+stitch, and others. The materials and needle must always be carefully
+chosen of a corresponding size. For common cross stitch and raised
+stitch Penelope canvas must be used; for small articles, such as
+slippers, bags, or borders, single Berlin wool is preferable; for larger
+ones fleecy wool or double Berlin wool (the latter, however, is much
+more expensive). For Gobelin stitch and tent stitch undivided canvas
+(not Penelope) is required. Purse silk is often used for the latter; it
+is more brilliant than floss silk or filoselle. Floss silk is generally
+used for other stitches because it covers the thread of the canvas
+better than purse silk; it is, however, often replaced by filoselle,
+which is a much cheaper material. Moss wool is hardly ever used. Before
+beginning to work upon a piece of canvas the raw edges must be hemmed or
+sewn over with wool. Care must be taken not to crumple the canvas in
+the course of the work. It is best to roll one end of the canvas upon a
+round piece of deal while the other end is kept down upon the table with
+a lead cushion. Handsome artistic patterns should always be worked in a
+frame. When you undertake to work a large pattern begin in the centre,
+and complete one half before you commence the other. Always work the
+stitches in the same direction, from the top downwards--this is very
+essential to the beauty and regularity of the pattern.
+
+Always begin with the colour which is used the oftenest; those colours
+that lose their dye in working must be put in last. When the pattern is
+finished begin the grounding. The wool must not be drawn too tightly,
+otherwise the threads of the canvas appear. If the wool is too coarse
+for the canvas, one long stitch is to be made from left to right as far
+as the particular colour is to be worked, and over this long stitch,
+cross back in the usual way.
+
+The plainest stitch in Berlin wool work is the common cross stitch;
+illustrations 577 to 584 show varieties of the same.
+
+We now proceed in the following pages to show, by description in writing
+and by most careful illustration, all the stitches which are used in
+Berlin Work. These are numerous, but neither too great in number nor too
+simple or too elaborate in execution for those who aspire to become
+Berlin workers.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 577.--Common Cross Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 577.--The common cross stitch is worked in rows backwards
+and forwards over 2 threads in height and 2 in width (square of the
+canvas) in straight lines; the 1st row is worked from left to right; the
+2nd row, which completes the stitches, from right to left. Illustration
+577 shows 2 rows of completed stitches and 1 row in course of working.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 578.--Long Cross Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 578 shows the long cross stitch. It is worked like the
+preceding one, only over 4 threads in height and 2 in width.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 579.--Long Cross Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 579 shows a long cross stitch, which is worked like the
+preceding one, except that 2 threads are missed between 2 stitches, and
+in the next row the stitches are worked between those in the preceding
+row. This stitch is not worked in rows backwards and forwards; each
+stitch is completed before beginning the next.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 580.--Slanting Cross Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 580.--The long slanting cross stitch is worked like No.
+578, in rows backwards and forwards; the 1st row is slanting, the 2nd is
+straight. The places for inserting the needle and for drawing it out are
+marked on the illustration with a cross and dot.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 581.--Damask Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 581.--The damask stitch is worked in single rows from left
+to right, over 4 threads in height and 2 in width. The stitches of one
+row come between those of the next. The cross and dot shown in
+illustration are where to insert and draw out the needle.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 582.--Rep Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 582 shows the rep stitch--a variety of the preceding. The
+first half of it is worked slantways over 6 threads in height and 2 in
+width, the second half, like the common cross stitch, from right to left
+over the 3rd and 4th of the 6 canvas threads; each stitch is completed
+at once. The illustration shows the last stitch being worked; the first
+half of the stitch is completed; the dot shows where the needle must be
+inserted for the second half; it is drawn out where the cross is placed
+on illustration.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 583.--Leviathan Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 583.--The leviathan stitch consists of 1 slanting and 1
+straight cross stitch over 4 threads in height and 4 in width. Each
+stitch is completed immediately. No. 583 shows one half of the stitch
+completed and the wool as it must be placed for working the first half
+of the straight cross stitch.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 584.--Leviathan Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 584.--The leviathan stitch is worked exactly like the
+preceding, only the stitches are not worked on the same threads in the
+different rows, as may be seen from illustration.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 585.--Double Leviathan Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 585.--The double leviathan stitch is a variety of the
+preceding; it is worked over 6 threads in height and as many in width.
+Make a common cross stitch over these 6 threads, then a long cross
+stitch in height and a long cross stitch in width. Illustration 585
+shows 2 stitches completed and 1 being worked.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 586.--Tent Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 586.--Tent stitch. Each stitch is worked over 1 stitch in
+height and 1 in width, and is worked in rows from left to right.

+
+[Illustration: 587.--Slanting Gobelin Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 587.--The slanting Gobelin stitch is worked on undivided
+canvas; each stitch is worked over 3 threads in height and 2 in width,
+divided from the next stitch only by an interval of 1 thread.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 588.--Straight Gobelin Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 588.--The straight Gobelin stitch is worked over 2 threads
+in height with 1 thread between, so that the stitches appear more
+raised; they are worked over thin cord or a thick piece of wool.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+ILLUSTRATION 589.--The raised or velvet stitch is worked over small
+round wooden meshes, and forms small raised loops. Take 2 similar meshes
+and as many threaded needles as there are colours in the work; make
+first a slanting stitch, as for the beginning of the common cross
+stitch, but instead of drawing out the needle straight under the place
+where it was inserted, draw it out exactly at the same place, so as to
+form a slanting stitch on the right and on the wrong side; then begin to
+work over 1 mesh; insert the needle above it and draw it out in a
+slanting direction underneath. On the wrong side of the work a regular
+cross stitch is formed. Illustration 589 shows 2 rows of velvet stitch
+completed and 2 rows being worked; the first of the latter is yet on the
+mesh, the second being worked so as to show the position of the wool
+upon the mesh. Observe that the rows of the velvet stitch are worked
+upwards, and that 2 meshes are necessary, because the lower one must not
+be drawn out before the next row is completed. The loops may be cut open
+if preferred.
+
+[Illustration: 589.--Raised or Velvet Stitch.]

+
+[Illustration: 590.--Plaited Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 590.--The plaited stitch is worked like the herring-bone
+stitch. Each stitch is worked over 4 threads in height and 4 in width.
+Illustration 590 shows one part of the plaited stitch completed, and the
+place where the needle is to be inserted for the next stitch is marked
+by a dot. For the next stitch the needle is carried under the 2 threads
+below the stitches of the preceding row.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+ILLUSTRATION 591.--The plush stitch is also worked upwards. Begin to
+work a common cross stitch, then insert the needle through the canvas
+over 2 threads in height and 2 in width, downwards in a slanting
+direction. Do not draw the wool close up, but leave a loop hanging down
+about four-fifths of an inch long, and make 1 more common cross stitch
+to fasten the loop. This stitch can also be worked over flat meshes.
+Work a common cross stitch at the end of every row. When the work is
+completed the loops are cut open and clipped, as may be seen from
+illustration.
+
+[Illustration: 591.--Plush Stitch.]

+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 592 to 594.--Three Berlin wool work borders for trimming
+baskets, &c. No. 592.--The 2 outer rows which edge the border are worked
+in long straight cross stitch; each stitch is crossed in the centre with
+a back stitch.
+
+[Illustration: 592.--Berlin Work Border.]
+
+The grounding consists of 2 rows of vandykes placed opposite each other,
+which are formed of long straight stitches of different lengths. The
+squares in the centre are formed in the same way, and are completed in
+the middle with a knot. No. 593.--The ground is worked in cross stitch,
+the raised patterns in satin stitch; in the middle of each pattern there
+is a cross stitch. The outer rows are worked in half cross stitch over 2
+threads in height and 4 in width in 2 different shades. No. 594.--The
+petals of the flowers are worked over 4 threads in height and in width,
+and consisting of 4 slanting stitches.
+
+[Illustration: 593--Berlin Work Border.]
+
+[Illustration: 594.--Berlin Work Border.]
+
+In the centre the flower is completed by a knot; the ground in cross
+stitch is completed on either side by a narrow border of scallops,
+formed of slanting stitches divided in the centre by 1 slanting stitch.
+It is easy to work these stitches from illustration. The choice of
+colours depends upon what use the border is intended for and upon
+personal taste.

+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+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
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+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
+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
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@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.

+<h3>SAMUEL BUTLER'S PREFACE</h3>
+
+<p>The Art of Needlework dates from the earliest record of the
+world's history, and has, also, from time immemorial been the
+support, comfort, or employment of women of every rank and age. Day
+by day, it increases its votaries, who enlarge and develop its
+various branches, so that any addition and assistance in teaching
+or learning Needlework will be welcomed by the Daughters of
+England, "wise of heart," who work diligently with their hands.</p>
+
+<p>The recent introduction of Point Lace has brought a finer, and,
+apparently, more difficult class of fancy work into general favour.
+Ladies may now, however, confidently commence, with our patterns
+before them, to reproduce Antique laces; for care and patience,
+with a knowledge of Point Lace stitches, are alone required to
+perfect the beautiful work, which, as shown in existing specimens
+of exquisite Old Lace, constitute the chief glory of women's
+refined industry in past centuries.</p>
+
+<p><b>INSTRUCTIONS</b> in <b>TATTING</b>, in <b>EMBROIDERY</b>, in
+<b>CROCHET</b>, in <b>KNITTING</b> and <b>NETTING</b>, in <b>BERLIN
+WOOL WORK</b>, in <b>POINT LACE</b>, and <b>GUIPURE D'ART</b> are
+prefixed to the pages devoted to these separate branches of
+needlework. The whole work is interspersed with coloured and other
+Patterns in Point Lace, Guipure d'Art, Tatting, Embroidery, and
+Designs for Monograms and Initials for marking handkerchiefs and
+table-linen. The quantity of materials required for each class of
+work is also given with every pattern.</p>
+
+<p>The idea of combining a series of minute and exact instructions
+in fancy needlework with useful patterns was conceived some years
+ago by one whose life was devoted to the inculcation of the
+practical duties of woman's life, and to assisting her sex in their
+daily work of <b>HOUSEHOLD MANAGEMENT</b> and
+<b>REFINEMENT</b>.</p>
+
+<p>Her great wish was that her <b>BOOK OF NEEDLEWORK</b> should be
+as valuable in its way to her Countrywomen as her work upon
+Household Management was useful in showing the best mode of
+providing for the diurnal wants of families. Other hands have
+brought to a conclusion her original plans. The best attainable
+workers have contributed to this volume. Only those who knew the
+extent of the late Mrs. Beeton's design, will miss, in the pages
+now before them, "the touch of a vanished hand."</p>

+<h3>TATTING INSTRUCTIONS</h3>
+
+<center><a name="image_a"><img alt="Tatting Shuttle." src=
+"images/imagea.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>The needlework called Tatting in England,
+<em>Frivolit&eacute;</em> in French, and <em>Frivolit&auml;ten</em>
+in German, is a work which seems, from all accounts, to have been
+in favour several generations ago. Modern ingenuity has discovered
+some ways of improving on the original plan of tatting, which was,
+indeed, rather a primitive sort of business as first practised. To
+Mrs. Mee, one of our most accomplished <em>artistes</em> in all
+matters connected with the work-table, belongs, we believe, the
+introduction of the plan of working from the reel instead of the
+shuttle. By this alteration the advantage of the shuttle being
+constantly kept filled with cotton was gained, and the necessity
+also obviated for frequently <span class="newpage"><a name=
+"page_ii" id="page_ii">[ii]</a></span> joining the thread; and to
+Mdlle. Riego, equally distinguished in all details appertaining to
+the employment of the needle, ladies are indebted for an
+arrangement by which the same thread used in the making of the
+pattern is used for fastening the work. The old plan only provided
+for the working of the different portions which constituted the
+pattern, and then these portions had to be sewn together with a
+needle and thread. The ingenious workers on the Continent have also
+given much attention of late to the art of tatting, and our
+instructions now printed comprise what we consider the best mode of
+learning and doing this exceedingly interesting and fashionable
+work.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_b"><img alt="Tatting pin" src=
+"images/imageb.jpg" width="326" height="199"></a></center>
+
+<p>Tatting differs entirely from crochet, and is composed of
+stitches forming <em>knots</em>. It is intended as an imitation of
+point lace, and is especially used for trimming under-linen, on
+account of its strength.</p>
+
+<p>To make the stitches or knots a small instrument is used, called
+a <em>shuttle</em>. This shuttle consists of two oval pieces, flat
+on one side and convex on the other, and is made of wood or
+ivory.</p>
+
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_iii" id=
+"page_iii">[iii]</a></span>
+
+<p>The two oval pieces are joined together by a strong cross-piece.
+The illustration shows the construction of the shuttle. These
+shuttles are made in ivory, pearl, tortoiseshell inlaid with pearl,
+and silver; they are also manufactured in coloured bone, black,
+red, and white. The best to work with are the pearl for a white
+shuttle, and the inlaid tortoiseshell for a black shuttle; the
+prices vary from sixpence to one shilling and two-and-sixpence
+each. In selecting a shuttle be careful to see that the ends close,
+as if dropped it soon becomes unthreaded, which is very
+inconvenient. The cotton intended for the work is wound round this
+shuttle, and the thickness of the cotton varies according to the
+style of work. It is better to use the proper tatting cotton,
+because it is stronger than the ordinary kinds; this is
+manufactured by Messrs. Walter Evans and Co. for the purpose. Their
+Boar's Head Cotton is also frequently used, and answers very
+well.</p>
+
+<br>
+<p><em>Shuttles.</em></p>
+
+<p>These are made in 3 sizes:--Finest, No. 1; No. 2, useful medium
+size; No. 3, the largest.</p>
+
+<br>
+<p><em>The Way to Hold the Hands.</em></p>
+
+<p>Take the shuttle in the right hand, between the thumb and second
+finger, and allow the forefinger to remain at liberty, and rest the
+under part of the shuttle <em>between</em> the second and third and
+<em>on</em> the middle finger. Place the thread round the three
+middle fingers of the left hand, so as to form a loop, keeping the
+second and third fingers a little apart, and bring the cotton again
+between the thumb and forefinger, letting the end fall within the
+palm of the hand, while the end of cotton which holds on to the
+shuttle passes over the thumb-nail.</p>
+
+<br>
+<p><em>To Make a Stitch.</em></p>
+
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_iv" id=
+"page_iv">[iv]</a></span>
+
+<p>Keep the hands in the position above described; pass the shuttle
+at the back, through the loop--that is, between the second and
+third fingers. Take the end of the shuttle which comes out from the
+loop between the forefinger and thumb of the right hand, and strain
+the cotton very tightly towards the right. When the cotton is drawn
+through the loop, this cotton must not be impeded by the fourth
+finger; it should, on the contrary, slide over it, and be drawn
+tight. It should divide the loop into two parts. After this
+withdraw the second left-hand finger, which is <em>above</em> the
+cotton, and pass it again under that cotton, so as to draw up the
+loop. A <em>half-stitch</em> is thus formed, and must be tightened
+by being drawn closely to the forefinger and thumb of the left
+hand. For the remaining half of the stitch keep the hands in the
+same position, but, instead of letting the cotton fall over the
+thumb, pass this cotton over the back of the hand; then let the
+shuttle fall between the second and third fingers of the left hand,
+in front, and take it out again at the back, strain the cotton very
+tightly, withdraw the second finger from the loop, letting the
+cotton which is behind the hand sweep over the fingers. When this
+is done, guide with the unoccupied fingers of the left hand this
+second half-stitch up to the other, thus completing <em>one
+stitch</em>.</p>
+
+<br>
+<p><em>The Way to Make a Loop in Tatting.</em></p>
+
+<p>When a certain number of stitches are made, very tightly draw in
+the loop by straining the cotton until the first stitch touches the
+last, and thus a loop is formed. During this process the stitches
+should be held tightly between the forefinger and thumb.</p>
+
+<br>
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_v" id="page_v">[v]</a></span>
+
+<p><em>The Way to Make a Purl.</em></p>
+
+<p>A <em>purl</em> is a small loop of cotton often used as an
+edging in tatting, as, for instance, round the outer edge of the
+ovals in tatted insertion No. 2. The following is the easiest
+method of making a purl:--The stitches are not made quite closely
+together at the place where a purl is to be made; about one-sixth
+of an inch is left between each. This space is left free until the
+loop is made by uniting the stitches; then the small piece of
+cotton in the space bulges out between the stitches, and forms the
+purl. If several are required a small space is left between every
+two or three stitches, according to the desired number. Care must
+be taken in that case that the small pieces of cotton left be all
+of the same length, so that the purl may be perfectly even. The
+purl can also be made thus: At the same time with the end of thread
+take the tatting-pin or a very large darning needle or knitting
+needle in the left hand, so that the point may come out farther
+than the row of stitches; if then you wish to make a purl, throw
+the cotton on the pin before making the stitch; then fasten this
+stitch, and push it at once close to the preceding; the pin with
+the cotton should come above the stitches. Do not take out the pin
+before all the purl and all the stitches are completed and joined
+together.</p>
+
+<br>
+<p><em>Joining the Work.</em></p>
+
+<p>Place the tatting-pin in the loop that is to be joined, and with
+the hook draw the thread of the loop--that is, round the hand
+through it--pass the shuttle through this loop, and draw it up
+tightly close to the stitches.</p>
+
+<p>A "straight" or double thread is used to join various parts of
+the work, and forms very beautiful patterns. Without the straight
+thread we <span class="newpage"><a name="page_vi" id=
+"page_vi">[vi]</a></span> should be unable to imitate point lace
+patterns, or, indeed, to execute any designs but those composed of
+circles, ovals, &amp;c. To use this straight thread 2 shuttles are
+required; they should be of different colours. Sometimes one end of
+thread is left attached to the reel instead of using the second
+shuttle. In commencing a loop the straight thread is held between
+the second and third fingers of the left hand, about 2 or 3 inches
+from the work; the other shuttle is held as usual in the right
+hand, and the stitches and purls worked with it upon the foundation
+of the straight thread of the second shuttle.</p>

+finer than the cotton used for tatting, and work a row of double
+stitches over the thread which joins the circles. The number of
+stitches depends on the length and size of the cotton; work double
+stitches round the circles at the place where both ends meet. The

+pretty couvrette. The pattern is worked in rounds. Begin the
+rosette with a circle, consisting of 4 double, 1 purl, 6 double, 1
+purl, 6 double, 1 purl, 4 double. Take up another shuttle, and work
+over the cotton on it, fasten the end on the last double of the
+circle and work over it, beginning close to the circle, 6 plain, 1
+circle like the 1st worked with the 1st shuttle, and which is
+fastened on the last purl of the 1st circle at the place of the 1st
+purl; 6 plain, and continue to work so alternately till you have 7
+circles divided by 6 plain stitches. Draw up very tightly the
+cotton over which you work, so that the circles form a rosette,
+which is closed by sewing together the two corresponding purl of
+the first and <span class="newpage"><a name="page_23" id=
+"page_23">[23]</a></span> last circle. Both the ends of the cotton
+over which you have worked are knotted together. For the 2nd round,
+fasten the cotton on one shuttle on the middle purl of a circle,
+work a circle like those of the 1st round, take up the 2nd shuttle,
+and work on exactly as in the 1st round, only work 8 plain between
+the circles over the cotton on the 2nd shuttle. The 2nd round
+consists of 15 circles; the cotton with which you work must be
+fastened at the required places on the middle purl of a circle of
+the preceding round. The 3rd and following rounds are worked in the
+same manner; the number of circles must be such as to keep the
+couvrette quite flat. In the pattern the 3rd round has 26 circles.
+Fasten the cotton well after each round.</p>

+by 1 purl, turn the work so as to turn the wrong side upwards,
+fasten the cotton over which you work on to the last purl, go back
+over the same row, miss 1 purl next to the cotton with which you
+work, 9 double divided by 1 purl, fastening the cotton over which
+you work on the next purl of the 1st row after every double stitch.
+This forms 1 scallop. * Turn the work downwards (that is, the purl
+stitch must be turned downwards), make 4 times 2 double, 1 purl, 1
+purled stitch: this is the straight row between 2 outer scallops of
+the lace. Then work a scallop like the preceding one, fastening it
+from illustration after the first row on the middle one of the 9
+outer purl of the preceding scallop, with the cotton over which you
+work; repeat from * till the lace is long enough, and fasten the
+cotton. Knot both ends together again, fasten the cotton over which
+you work on the first purl of the first scallop, make 9 double, 1
+short purl, 1 double, turn so that the upper edge of the row is
+turned downwards, and the scallops upwards, 5 double, fasten the 2
+middle purl of the 4 of the next straight row together by drawing
+the cotton, with which you are working through the 2nd purl, so as
+to form a loop, draw the cotton over which you work through this
+loop and draw up the latter; work 5 double, fasten the cotton over
+which you work on to the short purl worked after 9 double, turn the
+work so that the outer scallops of the lace are turned downwards,
+10 double, fasten the cotton over which you work on the first purl
+of the next scallop, repeat from *, and fasten the cotton. After
+having fastened both ends together again, turn the work the right
+side upwards and the outer scallops upwards also, fasten the cotton
+over which you work on to the short purl which is under the first
+loop; * work 4 times 2 double, 1 purl, 2 <span class="newpage"><a

+
+<p>The pattern is worked with very fine cotton; the netted
+grounding over a mesh measuring two-fifths of an inch round. The
+collar is ornamented round the outer edge with a tatted lace. Work
+a straight strip of netting for the grounding; begin with 2
+stitches, work 18 rows backwards and forwards, increasing 1 at the
+end of each row, so that the last row has 19 holes; work 1 row
+without increasing; then continue to work with the same number of
+stitches, increasing 1 at the end of one row and decreasing 1 at
+the end of the other. When the strip is sufficiently <span class=
+"newpage"><a name="page_27" id="page_27">[27]</a></span> long, work
+1 row again without increasing or decreasing, and form the side by
+making 18 rows, decreasing 1 stitch at the end of each, cast off
+the 2 last stitches on 1 stitch without forming a new stitch on the
+needle. Trace the outline of the collar on the grounding with thick
+cotton, and begin to darn it from illustration. When the darning is
+completed work the tatted lace with the same cotton, as follows:--6
+double, 1 short purl, alternately, 3 times 3 double, 1 purl, 6
+double, draw up the stitch so as to form a scallop leaving
+one-fifth of an inch between the first and last stitch; work a
+second scallop at a short distance from the first, and so on; every
+scallop is fastened on to the preceding one after the first 3
+double stitches. Work a row of double overcast stitch between the
+darned netting and the tatted lace; work this row over the cotton
+tracing, marking the outline of the collar on the grounding and
+over the cotton between the tatted scallops. Work also a row of
+double overcast round the neck part, gathering in the collar a
+little if necessary. Cut away the netting on the wrong side close
+to the row of overcast stitches.</p>

+
+<p>Patterns formed of mignardise and tatting are of quite new
+style, and look very pretty. The insertion is easy to work by the
+following process:--Make first a circle, as follows: 1 plain
+stitch, 2 double, 1 purl, 6 double, 1 purl, 2 double, 1 plain;
+fasten the cotton on to one side of the mignardise, at the distance
+of about five-eighths of an <span class="newpage"><a name="page_28"

+together; work a second circle at a short distance from the first,
+and so on. When the strip of insertion is sufficiently long, work
+in the same manner on the other side of the mignardise. This kind
+of work is destined to become very popular, and nothing can be more
+light and graceful than the union of mignardise and tatting.</p>

+
+<p>The insertion shown in illustration No. 31 is composed in two
+similar halves. Begin the first in the following way:--10 double, 1
+purl, 3 double, 1 purl, 10 double, join the stitches into a circle,
+and work a second similar circle at a distance of one-third of an
+inch; instead of the 1st purl, draw the cotton through the 2nd purl
+of the first-worked circle; leave an interval of one-eighth of an
+inch, and repeat the two rounds till the insertion is sufficiently
+long. Then tat round the pieces of cotton which join the two
+rounds, work round the longest 10 double, and round the shortest 4
+double, inserting the shuttle alternately once upwards and once
+downwards, but for the rest proceeding as in the common button-hole
+stitch. When the first half is completed, work the second in the
+same way, and fasten it on to the first with the purl.</p>

+
+<p>The pretty effect of the insertion shown in illustration No. 32
+is obtained by means of longer and shorter purl. Work as
+follows:--Join 9 double into a circle, 1 long purl, 3 double, 1
+long purl, 4 double *. <span class="newpage"><a name="page_30" id=

+purl, 2 double, draw the cotton through the last purl of the small
+circle, 2 double, drawn through the 1st purl of the same circle, 2
+double, 1 small purl, 2 double, 1 long purl, 2 double, 1 small
+purl, 2 double, repeat 6 times more from *, and draw up. After an
+interval of five-eighths of an inch comes another small circle: 4
+double, draw the cotton through the last purl of the large figure,
+3 double, draw the cotton through the next long purl of the same
+figure, 2 double, 1 long purl, 3 double, 1 long purl, 4 double.
+Repeat the pattern for the length of insertion required. The
+threads which join the small circles are worked over with 7 double
+in the manner described above, only the cotton at the principal
+figure must be left loose the width of a straw, so as to imitate a
+long purl. Complete the insertion from illustration by tatting
+round the small circles of 16 double on the other side (but in the
+contrary direction), form no purl, but draw the cotton through the
+long purl of the large figure; the threads which join the 2 circles
+are likewise drawn through the middle long purl of the large
+figure; this thread is then tatted over with 7 double, like the
+opposite outer edge.</p>

+
+<p>This pattern is composed of leaves and flowers. Each of the six
+leaves forming a circle is composed of 4 double, 2 purl, separated
+by 2 double, 4 double (the first and last purl of each leaf must be
+joined in the manner before explained), and the centre of each
+circle forms a wheel. The flower has four leaves: each leaf
+consists of 6 double, II purl, separated each by 1 double, and
+again 6 double; each leaf is filled up with button-hole stitches in
+fine cotton. To form the circle in the centre of this flower, turn
+several times the thread which joins the leaves, and work
+button-hole stitches round it. Join the flowers and the circles by
+knotting them together, or by making 1 purl longer than the others,
+and by drawing the next figure through. The crochet border on each
+side of the tatting consists of six rows, which are plainly seen in
+the illustration.</p>

+
+<p>This mixture of tatting and lace stitch is a style of work not
+only entirely new, but very pretty and effective when cotton of
+very different sizes is used. The tatting is begun with a row of
+circles two-thirds of an inch distant from each other; each circle
+consists of 13 stitches of plain tatting. Fasten a 2nd row to the
+1st, and a 3rd to the 2nd, by working a circle of 13 stitches of
+plain tatting at one-third of an inch distance, * then at the same
+distance; fasten the cotton on the next circle of the preceding
+row, work a circle at the same distance again, and repeat from *.
+The cotton is fastened on the circles by drawing it through the
+circle with a crochet-needle, so as to form a loop, and then
+drawing it out of the loop. Take care to keep the distance between
+2 circles always the same. Between the circles of the 3rd row draw
+another piece of cotton, by fastening the cotton on each <span
+class="newpage"><a name="page_46" id="page_46">[46]</a></span>
+circle of the 3rd row at distances of two-thirds of an inch. Then
+work the lower edge of the border in the following way:--1 small
+spot called a <em>Josephine knot</em> (for which work 5 stitches of
+plain tatting, draw the cotton downwards through the loop which
+fastens the stitches, and draw up the whole), fasten the cotton
+between the next two circles of the 3rd row, * and a little further
+make a spot consisting of 8 stitches of single tatting, close to
+this a circle formed of 3 double, 9 purl divided by 2 double, 3
+double; then again a spot of 8 stitches of plain tatting, turn the
+2 last spots so as to make their round sides come opposite one
+another; fasten the cotton on again between the 2 next circles of
+the 3rd row. Then a little further off work 1 small spot (5
+stitches of plain tatting), 1 circle of 3 double, 1 purl, 2 double
+fastened on the last purl of the preceding circle, 2 double, 5 purl
+divided by 2 double, 3 double; then again a small spot (5 plain
+stitches), fasten the cotton on again between the next 2 circles of
+the 3rd row, and repeat from *, always fastening each new circle to
+the corresponding purl of the preceding one. On the other long
+side, the border is completed by 2 rows of crochet. The 1st row is
+formed by working 1 double under the piece of cotton between 2
+circles of the 1st row, with 5 chain stitches between.</p>
+
+<p><em>2nd row:</em> 1 treble in every other stitch, 1 chain stitch
+after every treble. The strip of insertion is then tacked on a
+piece of cardboard or oil-cloth, and the lace stitches are worked
+between the circles, as is seen in illustration.</p>

+
+<p>Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 30
+for large rosette, No. 80 for small rosette; tatting-pin No. 3.</p>
+
+<p>This rosette forms a very pretty trimming for lingerie--cravats,
+caps, <span class="newpage"><a name="page_47" id=
+"page_47">[47]</a></span> handkerchiefs, &amp;c. The raised pattern
+in the centre consists of 4 rounds, consisting of 5 circles each,
+which are sewn together and then fastened on the rosette. The 5
+circles of each round must be worked close to each other: after
+working the last circle of each round, knot the beginning and end
+of the cotton together. Each circle of the smallest round has 9
+double, the circles of the next round each 15, the circles of the
+following one 21, and the circles of the last and largest round 27
+double stitches. When these circles have been sewn on one to
+another as in illustration, work a large circle consisting of 4
+double, 1 purl, 9 times alternately 5 double, 1 purl, then 1
+double. The purls of this circle are fastened on to the circles of
+the next round of the rosette. Fasten the cotton on to the next
+purl of the middle circle, and work a circle as follows:--4 double,
+1 purl, 4 double, 1 purl, 3 double, 1 purl, 3 double, 1 purl, 4
+double, 1 purl, 4 double. Repeat 9 times more from *, but now,
+instead of working the 1st purl of every circle, fasten it on to
+the last purl of the preceding circle. Then fasten the cotton. For
+the last round, which consists of scallops and rounds, fasten the
+cotton on to the middle purl of a circle of the preceding round,
+and work a circle consisting of 3 times alternately 4 double, 1
+purl, then 4 double.</p>

+scallops are to be worked. Work over it 5 double, fastened on to
+the last purl of the preceding circle, 4 double, 1 purl, 4 double,
+1 purl, 5 double. Fasten the cotton on to the middle purl of the
+next circle of the preceding round, and repeat from * till the
+round is completed; but in working these circles, instead of the
+first purl, fasten them on to the last purl of the preceding
+scallop. Lastly, the raised pattern is sewn on.</p>

+following manner:--</p>
+
+<p><em>1st row:</em> 2 double, 1 purl, 3 double, 1 purl, 3 double,
+1 purl, 2 double; draw these stitches up into a circle, and repeat
+the circle at a very short distance, till the border is long
+enough; but instead of working the first purl of each circle, you
+must join the circle to the preceding one; the purl on the sides of
+the circle must therefore be longer than that in the middle.</p>
+
+<p>For the 2nd row take another shuttle, make a loop on the left
+side with the cotton, and work with this end of cotton over the
+cotton in the right hand, which is also to be held between the
+thumb and forefinger of the left hand. Then work in the following
+way:--2 double, then 1 circle consisting of 3 double, 1 purl, 3
+double; to form this circle, let the cotton in the left-hand
+shuttle fall downwards, and make a loop round the left hand with
+the cotton on the shuttle of the right hand. Then take up again the
+left-hand shuttle, and join the circle to the middle purl of the
+1st circle of the 1st row by drawing the cotton through the <span

+couvrettes, crochet cotton No. 4.</p>
+
+<p>This rosette, joined to other similar ones, forms a very pretty
+trimming for articles of fine linen, or even for small couvrettes;
+if used for the former, they must be worked with very fine cotton.
+The centre of the rosette is formed of an embroidered raised
+pattern worked in <em>point de minute</em>; round this centre there
+are small circles worked in button-hole stitch; the embroidery is
+worked with knitting cotton, the circles with crochet cotton.
+Before beginning the circles, make a circle consisting of a
+foundation chain of 80 stitches, in order to be able to fasten the
+button-hole stitch; in each of the stitches of the foundation chain
+work 1 double, then fasten the cotton. In the 2nd round of these
+circles fasten the cotton on every 5th stitch of the crochet
+circle. Work 1 round of open-work treble stitch in the double
+stitch of the crochet circle, work in tatting the border of the
+rosette as follows in 1 <span class="newpage"><a name="page_51" id=

+divided one from the other by 2 double stitches, then 2 more double
+stitches. (This small leaf forms one of the corners of the diamond
+pattern.) Fasten the cotton to the fourth purl of one of the four
+centre leaves, and work another leaf similar to the preceding. Join
+this leaf by its two centre purl to the two last purl of the corner
+leaf (see illustration). After two more similar leaves, work one
+corner leaf, and continue the pattern in the same manner until you
+come back to the first corner leaf, then fasten off, and cut the
+cotton. Place the diamond pattern upon the point of the collar, and
+cut away the material under it; fold back the edges, sew them
+neatly, and cover them with the following crochet edging:--Make
+alternately 2 chain, 1 purl (the latter composed of 3 chain joined
+together by 1 slip stitch). It will be easy to work the circles in
+tatting from our illustration; they form an elegant border round
+the collar. We shall merely say that the centre circle is always
+worked separately, and that the cotton is fastened on afresh to
+work the eight outer leaves. The upper edge of this border is
+worked in crochet. It is composed of two rows--one formed of chain
+stitches, and a few slip stitches worked in the purl of the circles
+in tatting, the other worked in open treble crochet.</p>

+
+<p>This border is formed of circles in tatting and crochet leaves,
+which are joined together by rows of crochet work; a narrow <span
+class="newpage"><a name="page_58" id="page_58">[58]</a></span>
+border in tatting forms the lower edge. Omitting this edge, the
+border forms a strip of insertion. Each of the rosettes or circles
+is begun in the centre; work first 2 double (a double stitch is
+formed by passing the thread over the back of the hand, and then
+passing the shuttle upwards between the forefinger and second
+finger, and drawing it up, then work a stitch of plain tatting;
+this completes the double stitch, and whenever so many double
+stitches are directed it means the 2 stitches), 1 purl, repeat 9
+times, join the stitch into a circle, work at a small distance * a
+smaller ring consisting of 3 double, 5 purl, divided each by 2
+double stitches, 4 double, draw the cotton through the purl of the
+first circle, and repeat 8 times more from *, only each following
+circle must be fastened on to a purl of the preceding circle <span
+class="newpage"><a name="page_59" id="page_59">[59]</a></span>
+after 3 double stitches, and having completed each circle the
+thread must be drawn through the purl of the first circle, which
+forms the centre of the rosette. The beginning and the end of the
+thread are knotted together. For the tatted border, make at short
+distances 1 loop with 5 double, 1 purl, 5 double; after having
+worked a sufficient number of such loops, wind another thread round
+the thread between the loops, turning always 1 loop on the right
+side and 1 on the left. Now begin the crochet part with the leaves.
+Make for each of these a foundation chain of 12 stitches, crochet
+back over this chain 2 double in the last stitch but one, 1 double
+in the next stitch, 1 treble in each of the following 7 chain, 2
+treble in the next stitch, 2 treble, 1 long treble, and 2 treble in
+the next following stitch of the foundation chain. Work on the
+other side of the chain the same pattern, only the reverse way;
+then 3 double in the point of the leaf thus formed, and edge the
+whole leaf with a round of double stitches, always working 2 double
+in each stitch of the preceding row, and 3 in the long treble
+stitch. In working this last round, the circles must be joined to
+the leaves by taking up the purl stitch of the circle before
+casting off the corresponding double stitch of the leaf; then work
+the stem which joins the 2 rows of circles and leaves with a row of
+chain stitches, on which a row of double is worked. Then comes the
+border which forms the upper edge. Make a row of chain stitches,
+joining leaves and circles together, then work 3 rows of treble,
+work 3 more rows over the tatted border, the first row entirely in
+chain stitches, after every fourth stitch take up the purl of the
+loops on one side. 2nd row: 1 treble in the middle stitch of the 3
+chain, 2 treble, divided by 3 chain. 3rd row: 1 treble, 1 chain,
+miss 1 under the last. In the last row the leaves and circles must
+be fastened on the border, as seen in illustration.</p>

+100, tatting-pin No. 3; 1 piece of very fine cord.</p>
+
+<p>This collar is ornamented with a triangle and a border of a very
+effective pattern. The triangle is begun in the centre, by working
+for each of the three leaves 5 double stitches, 5 purl divided one
+from the other by 2 double stitches, and 5 more double stitches.
+When the third leaf is completed, fasten off and cut the cotton.

+cord (see illustration). Cut away from the collar the piece of
+linen which is to be replaced by the triangle, fold in the edges
+and work them round in button-hole stitch, and fill up the space
+with the triangle. For the border, work first * one circle composed
+of 3 double stitches, 4 purl divided one from the other by 2 double

+work over it, 3 double stitches, then, without cord, 1 circle
+composed of 2 double stitches, 12 purl divided one from the other
+by 2 double stitches, 2 more double stitches; take up the cord
+again and work over it 3 double stitches, 4 purl divided each by 2
+double stitches, 3 double stitches. Fasten the cotton to the third
+purl (reckoning from the last) of the second circle worked without
+cord; 3 double stitches fastened to the fourth purl of the row of
+stitches worked over the cord (see illustration), 2 double
+stitches, 6 purl divided each by 2 double stitches, 3 double
+stitches fastened to the purl of next circle, 3 double stitches

+knot both ends of the cotton together and cut them off. Make a row
+of similar patterns by joining them on to the 2 middle purl of a
+branch of the preceding pattern, instead of working the 2 middle
+purl of the last branch (see illustration). Two rows of similar
+patterns are joined by the above-mentioned circles, consisting of
+32 double stitches, by fastening these circles from illustration
+between four branched patterns. Begin each circle with 2 double
+stitches, fasten it on to the corresponding purl of the
+four-branched pattern, work again 2 double, fasten on to the next
+purl, and continue in the same manner till the circle is
+sufficiently large. Each circle is ornamented with lace stitch. The

+
+<p>This pattern is suitable for trimming cravats, collars,
+pocket-handkerchiefs, petticoats, &amp;c.c., according to the size
+of the cotton with which it is worked. Work first the round of
+circles which incloses the leaves, overlapping each other in the
+centre; begin with the smallest circle, which is at the top of the
+pattern; it consists of 3 double, 1 purl, 7 double, 1 purl, 7
+double, 1 purl, 3 double. Then work at a short distance another
+circle like the preceding one, only work 8 double instead of 7, and
+instead of working the first purl, fasten the circle on to the last
+purl of the preceding circle; all the other circles are fastened on
+to each other in the same manner. The next circle, worked again at
+a distance of about one-fifth of an inch, has 4 double; fasten it
+on to the preceding circle, 9 double, 1 purl, 9 double, 1 purl, 4
+double. The following four circles are worked like the preceding
+one; only work in the first of these circles 10 double instead of
+9, in the second 11 double, in the third 12 double. The piece of
+cotton which joins the circles together must also be somewhat
+longer between the larger circles. Then work a circle <span class=
+"newpage"><a name="page_69" id="page_69">[69]</a></span> as
+follows: 5 double, fasten the cotton, 13 double, 1 purl, 13 double,
+1 purl, 5 double; then a similar circle, but always working 14
+double instead of 13. The next circle consists of 6 double, fasten
+the cotton, 15 double, 1 purl, 15 double, 1 purl, 6 double; the two
+following circles are worked in the same manner, working 16 double
+instead of 15. Then comes the largest circle of the round, which
+consists of 6 double, 17 double, 1 purl, 17 double, 1 purl, 6
+double. Work 11 circles more <span class="newpage"><a name=
+"page_70" id="page_70">[70]</a></span> like the 2nd to 12th of
+those just described (the 13th circle forms the middle), only the
+order of sizes must be reversed, so that the round closes with the
+smallest circle. Then fasten both ends of the cotton together, so
+that the circles are joined into a circle. Then work round this row
+of circles another round, the circles of which must be of graduated
+sizes like those of the first round. Fasten the cotton on to the
+middle purl of the first small circle of the first round, and work
+one circle as follows:--3 double, 1 purl, 6 times alternately 2
+double, 1 purl, then 3 double; fasten the cotton on to the middle
+purl of the next circle, &amp;c.c. The remaining circles are worked
+in the same manner, only they must be increased and decreased in
+size gradually like the circles of the first round; this is done by
+increasing or decreasing the number of purl, instead of working the
+first purl of every following circle, fasten it on to the last purl
+of the preceding circle. When the round is completed, fasten both
+ends of the cotton together. In the centre of the oval pattern,
+fasten 6 five-branched patterns of graduated size, which are worked
+in one piece. For the smallest of these patterns work first three
+circles, consisting of 5 double, 1 purl, 5 times alternately 2
+double, 1 purl, then again 5 double (these circles must be close to
+each other; the second and third circles must, moreover, be
+fastened on to the last purl of the preceding circle). The cotton
+is then fastened on the first circle between the beginning and the
+end of the same, then work close to them two small circles,
+consisting of 6 double, 1 purl, 6 double, fasten the cotton between
+the beginning and the end of the third circle. The other
+five-branched patterns are worked in the same manner at intervals
+of about three-tenths of an inch; but the separate circles of each
+pattern must become gradually larger. In the largest pattern the
+three large circles consist of 5 double, 1 purl, <span class=
+"newpage"><a name="page_71" id="page_71">[71]</a></span> 8 times
+alternately 2 double, 1 purl, 5 double; the two smaller circles
+consist each of 15 double, 1 purl, 15 double; the size of the other
+patterns can easily be worked from this; the cotton which joins
+these last together is covered by over-casting with a needle and
+thread, so as to imitate double stitches. The five-branched
+patterns are then fastened in the oval pattern; they must overlap
+each other to half way, as seen in the illustration.</p>

+which form the centre of the medallion, then the insertion-like
+part which edges the rosettes. The larger rosette is worked as
+follows:--Knot the cotton of both shuttles together and work with 1
+shuttle only 1 circle consisting of 10 double, 1 purl one-fifth of
+an inch long, 10 double; * close to this circle, which is turned
+downwards, work over the cotton with the other shuttle, 1 double, 1
+purl, 8 double; this forms one of the scallops joining two circles.
+Then turn the work again and work close to the just completed
+scallop another circle like the first, but which is joined to the
+first circle instead of working the purl. Repeat 4 times more from
+*. Then work another scallop and fasten both ends of cotton on to
+the cotton over which the first scallop has been worked, at the
+place where the scallop is joined to the first circle. The first
+round of the rosette is thus completed.</p>

+the next scallop of the preceding round, 5 double, 1 purl, 6 double
+fastened on to the cotton between two scallops of the <span class=
+"newpage"><a name="page_74" id="page_74">[74]</a></span> preceding
+round; repeat 5 times more from *. The larger rosette is now
+completed. The smaller rosette is worked like the first, only
+without the second round. The insertion-like border is worked in
+two halves as follows:--The half which touches the edge of the
+medallion is worked as follows:--Knot both ends of cotton together
+and *, work with 1 shuttle only 1 circle consisting of 8 double, 1
+purl one-fifth of an inch long, 8 double; turn the circle downwards
+and work close to it over the cotton on the 2nd shuttle 6 double, 1
+purl, 6 double; this forms a scallop of the border. Then turn the
+work again and work close to the scallop another circle like the
+first, but which is fastened on to the first circle instead of
+working the purl. Turn the work again, work a scallop like the
+preceding one, and repeat 15 times more from *, only the scallops
+at the lower edge of the medallion must have a few double stitches
+more, as can be seen in illustration. After working the last
+scallop fasten the two ends of the cotton on to the 1st circle;
+then cut them off. The second inner half is worked like the first;
+only the circles are worked without any purl stitch, and fastened
+on to the circles of the first half from illustration; the scallops
+of this half are somewhat smaller; each consists of 5 double, 1
+purl, 5 double. The completed border is sewn on to the rosettes
+from illustration; the different pieces must be first fastened on
+cardboard. The cotton must be wound several times round the long
+threads, as seen in illustration. The medallion is then sewn into
+the muslin at the top only; the remaining border is edged, before
+joining it to the muslin, with a straight row of knots to be worked
+over cotton, and fastened on to each outer scallop of the border at
+regular intervals. The number of double stitches between two purl
+is different, as distinctly seen in illustration. For the lace knot
+both ends of cotton together, * work with one shuttle only 1 circle
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_75" id=
+"page_75">[75]</a></span> consisting of 8 double, 1 purl, 8 double;
+turn the work and make another circle consisting of 2 double, 9
+times alternately 1 purl, 2 double; then fasten this circle on to
+the preceding one, where it has been joined into a circle, so that
+both circles meet as seen in illustration. After having turned the
+work again, work 9 double over the cotton on the 2nd shuttle, which
+form a scallop between the circles, and repeat from *. The lace is
+then sewn round the edge of the muslin.</p>

+edged all round with a tatted lace. For the latter work with very
+fine cotton * 1 large circle, consisting of 5 double, 1 purl, 7
+times alternately 2 double, 1 purl, then 5 double. At a short
+distance from this circle work a smaller one, consisting of 5
+double fastened on to the last purl of the large circle, 5 double.
+Leave again an interval as small as the last, and repeat from <span

+times more. But in working the large circles, instead of working
+the 1st purl, fasten them on the same purl of the large circle on
+which the small circle has been fastened; besides this, in working
+the last (12th) large circle, instead of working the last purl,
+fasten it on the 1st purl of the 1st circle; the last small circle
+is fastened on to the same purl. The lace is thus joined into a

+consisting of 5 plain stitches, then a circle consisting of 5
+double, 1 purl one-fifth of an inch long, 5 times alternately 3
+double, 1 small purl; 3 double, 1 long purl, 5 double. *Turn this
+circle (which is the first of the side row) downwards, work close
+to it a Josephine knot, then a circle consisting of 12 double, 1
+small purl, 12 double. Turn this circle downwards, work a Josephine
+knot, and then again a circle like the first of the side row, but
+instead of working the first long purl, fasten it on to the last
+purl of the preceding circle of the same row. Then hold the work so
+that the circles of the side row are turned downwards, work a
+Josephine knot, 1 circle like the first circle of the middle row,
+turn the work, make 1 Josephine knot, and then a circle like the
+second circle of the side row. Repeat from * till the cravat is
+sufficiently long. The last circle of the middle row must
+correspond to the first circle of the same row. Then begin to work
+the lower edge at the same time with the last circle of the middle
+row, * 1 Josephine knot, then a circle like the circles of the side
+row, again 1 Josephine knot, fastened on to the next purl of the
+last circle of the middle row; repeat 3 times more from *. Then
+continue as before, and work on the right side of the middle row a

+breadth. They are darned in linen stitch, darning stitch, and
+<em>point d'esprit</em>, with Mecklenburg thread. The ground is
+worked over a mesh measuring three-tenths of an inch round. For
+each square one more row than is needed must be worked, and the
+cast-on stitches are cut off, as they are longer than the stitches
+of the other rows. The tatted border is worked with fine tatting
+cotton. Fasten the cotton at one corner of the square and work * a
+circle consisting of 7 double, 1 purl, then six times alternately 2

+30, or tatting cotton No. 24, or for a larger size tatting cotton
+No. 20; tatting-pin No. 1; large shuttle.</p>
+
+<p>The illustration shows the fourth of the antimacassar and the
+whole of the rosette which forms the centre. Begin with the latter,
+with the five-branched pattern in the centre, at the same time with
+the following round of circles:--*Work first one circle of this
+round, consisting of 3 double, 1 purl, 4 times alternately 2
+double, 1 purl, 3 double; then at <span class="newpage"><a name=
+"page_81" id="page_81">[81]</a></span> a short distance a circle
+like the one just made, in which, however, instead of working the
+first purl, the cotton must be joined on to the last purl of the
+preceding circle. Then work at a short distance the first leaf of
+the five-branched pattern, which consists of 4 double, 1 purl, 4
+double. When this branch is completed, repeat at a short distance 4
+times more from *; but in working the branches of the five-branched
+pattern, instead of working the purl, join it on to the purl of the
+first branch of the five-branched pattern (this purl forms the
+centre of the pattern). All the circles must also be joined one to
+each other, as can be seen from illustration. Then work the
+scallops round the border of the rosette, * fasten the cotton on to
+the purl which joins the two next circles of the preceding round,
+and work one scallop consisting of 11 times alternately 2 double, 1
+purl, then 2 double. Repeat 9 times more from *. When the rosette
+is completed, work eight rosettes in the same manner and join them
+into a circle from illustration by means of small three-branched
+patterns, and then join them on to the middle rosette.</p>
+
+<p>The strip of insertion which comes next is worked in two halves
+as follows:--Work first, for the half turned towards the centre,
+two rows of circles lying opposite each other; begin with one of
+the largest circles, consisting of 4 double, 1 purl, 3 times
+alternately 2 double, 1 purl, then 4 double; * at a short distance
+work a smaller circle of 4 double, 1 purl, 4 double; after another
+short distance, a circle like the first joined on to it; then again
+a smaller circle, which at the place of the first purl is joined on
+to the purl of the preceding small circle. A short distance from
+this work again one of the larger circles just described, which is
+fastened on to the preceding similar circle; then repeat from *
+till the double row has nine larger and eight smaller circles. The
+first half of the strip of insertion is completed; the <span class=
+"newpage"><a name="page_82" id="page_82">[82]</a></span> second
+outer half is worked like the first, only the small circles must
+here be worked without any purl, and two of them together must
+always be fastened on to the two joined small circles of the first
+half, as was done for the five-branched pattern of the rosette;
+besides this, each of the large circles has 4 double, 1 purl, 4
+times alternately 2 double, 1 purl, then 4 double. When eight
+similar patterns have been worked, join them into a circle from
+illustration by means of small rosettes; this circle is then joined
+to the already-finished part of the cover. The small rosettes and
+remaining patterns of the antimacassar are easily worked from
+illustration. The completed patterns are joined together in the
+course of the work.</p>

+<h2>EMBROIDERY</h2>
+
+<a name="EMBROIDERY_INSTRUCTIONS"></a>
+<h3>EMBROIDERY INSTRUCTIONS</h3>
+
+<p>The art of embroidering with cotton on linen, muslin, cambric,
+piqu&eacute;, &amp;c.c., is very easy to learn by strictly
+attending to the following instructions.</p>
+
+<p>The size of the thread and needle must correspond to that of the
+material on which you embroider; the needle must not be too long,
+and the cotton must be soft. Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s
+embroidery cotton is the best. Skilful embroiderers never work over
+anything, because when you tack the material on paper or cloth each
+stitch shows, and if the material is very fine, leaves small holes;
+but for those that are learning we should advise them to tack the
+material to be embroidered upon a piece of <em>toile
+cir&eacute;e</em>. If you work without this, place the material
+straight over the forefinger of the left hand; the material must
+never be held slantways. The three other fingers of the left hand
+hold the work; the thumb remains free to give the right position to
+each stitch. The work must always, if possible, lie so that the
+outline of the pattern is turned towards the person who works. For
+the sake of greater clearness one part of the following
+illustrations is given in larger size than nature. Preparing the
+patterns is one of the most important things in embroidery, for the
+shape of the patterns is often spoiled merely because they have not
+been prepared with sufficient care.</p>
+
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_84" id=
+"page_84">[84]</a></span>
+
+<center><a name="image_66"><img alt="Scallop." src=
+"images/image066.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>ILLUSTRATION 66 shows how to prepare a scallop. Take thicker
+cotton than that with which you work; never commence with a knot,
+and do not take a thread longer than sixteen or eighteen inches.
+The outlines of the scallops are first traced with short straight
+stitches. In the corners particularly the stitches must be short.
+The space between the outlines is filled with chain stitches, as
+can be seen from illustration; they must not be too long, otherwise
+the embroidery will look coarse. It is in this way that every
+pattern to be worked in button-hole or satin stitch is to be
+prepared.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_67"><img alt="Double Overcast Stitch." src=
+"images/image067.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>ILLUSTRATION 67 shows the double overcast stitch or button-hole
+stitch in a straight line. After having traced the outline begin to
+work from left to right; fasten the cotton with a few stitches,
+hold it with the thumb of the left hand under the outline, insert
+the needle downwards above the outline, draw it out under the same
+above the cotton which you hold in the left hand, and draw it up.
+Repeat for all the stitches in the same manner; they must be
+regular and lie close to one another. Great care should be taken
+that the material on which you embroider is not puckered.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_68"><img alt="Overcast Stitch." src=
+"images/image068.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>ILLUSTRATION 68 (<em>Overcast Stitch</em>).--The double overcast
+and the button-hole stitches are worked from left to right, whilst
+back stitches, knotted and satin stitches are worked from right to
+left. The stitch is worked in the same way as the double overcast,
+only the needle must never be drawn out <em>above</em>, but
+<em>below</em>, the cotton with which you work, and which you keep
+down with the thumb of the left hand.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_69"><img alt="Slanting Overcast Stitch."
+src="images/image069.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>ILLUSTRATION 69.--The slanting overcast stitch is worked without
+tracing the outline, always inserting the needle downwards--that
+is, from top to bottom. The needle must be inserted in the manner
+shown in illustration--that is, not straight, but slanting; insert
+it a little farther than the last stitch, and draw it out close to
+it. The wrong side of the work must show back stitches. This sort
+of stitch is used for the fine outlines in patterns or letter.</p>
+
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_86" id=
+"page_86">[86]</a></span>
+
+<center><a name="image_70"><img alt="Back Stitch." src=
+"images/image070.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>ILLUSTRATION 70.--This shows the back stitch, the working of
+which is well known; it is worked in several rows close to each
+other.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_71"><img alt="Point Crois&eacute;." src=
+"images/image071.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<center><a name="image_72"><img alt="Point Crois&eacute;." src=
+"images/image072.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>ILLUSTRATIONS 71 &amp; 72 show another kind of back stitch,
+called <em>point crois&eacute;</em>, which is only used on very
+thin and transparent materials. This stitch forms on the wrong side
+a sort of darned pattern, which is seen by transparence on the
+right side, and gives the embroidered pattern a thicker appearance,
+contrasting with the rest of the work (see the lower leaves of the
+flower on illustration <a href="#image_110">110</a>). For this
+stitch insert the needle into the material as for the common back
+stitch, draw it out underneath the needle on the opposite outline
+of the pattern, so as to form on the wrong side a slanting line.
+Insert the needle again as for common back stitch; draw it out
+slanting at the place marked for the next stitch on the opposite
+outline, as shown in illustration 71.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_73"><img alt="Knotted Stitch." src=
+"images/image073.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_87" id=
+"page_87">[87]</a></span>
+
+<p>ILLUSTRATION 73 shows the knotted stitch; the simplest way of
+working it is to work two back stitches at a short distance from
+each other over the same thread.</p>
+
+<p>The knotted stitch seen in ILLUSTRATION 74 is worked thus:--Take
+about four threads of the material on the needle, draw the needle
+half out, wind the cotton twice round the point of the needle, hold
+it tight with the thumb, draw the needle out carefully and insert
+it at the place where the stitch was begun, and draw it out at the
+place where the next stitch is to be worked.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_74"><img alt="Knotted Stitch." src=
+"images/image074.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<center><a name="image_75"><img alt="Knotted Stitch" src=
+"images/image075.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>The knotted stitch seen on ILLUSTRATION 75 is worked in nearly
+the same manner as the preceding one. Before drawing the cotton out
+of the material hold it tight with the left-hand thumb; leave the
+needle in the same position, wind the cotton twice round it, turn
+the needle from left to right, so (follow the direction of the
+arrow) that its point arrives where the cotton was drawn out
+(marked by a cross in illustration), insert the needle there, and
+draw it out at the place of the next stitch.</p>

+"images/image076.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_88" id=

+
+<p>ILLUSTRATIONS 76 &amp; 77.--Raised satin stitch is principally
+used for blossoms, flowers, leaves, letters, &amp;c.c. After having
+traced the outlines of the pattern, fill the space left between
+them with chain stitches in a direction different from that in
+which the pattern is to be embroidered; begin at the point of the
+leaf, working from right to left, make short straight stitches,
+always inserting the needle close above the outline and drawing it
+out below. The leaves on the flowers, as well as on the branches,
+must be begun from the point, because they thus acquire a better
+shape. If you wish to work a leaf divided in the middle, as seen in
+illustration 77, you must trace the veining before you fill it with
+chain stitches, then begin at one point of the leaf and work first
+one half and then the other.</p>

+
+<p>ILLUSTRATION 78 shows the so-called <em>point de plume</em> on a
+scalloped leaf. It is worked like the satin stitch, only the needle
+is drawn through the material in a slanting direction.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_79"><img alt="Point de Minute." src=
+"images/image079.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_89" id=

+
+<p>ILLUSTRATION 79 (<em>Point de Minute</em>).--This stitch is
+often used instead of satin stitch when the patterns must appear
+raised. Wind the cotton several times round the point of the
+needle, which is inserted into the material half its length (the
+number of times the cotton is to be wound round the needle depends
+on the length of the pattern), hold fast the windings with the
+thumb of the left hand, draw the needle and the cotton through the
+windings, insert the needle into the material at the same place,
+and draw it out at the place where the next stitch is to begin.</p>

+
+<p>ILLUSTRATIONS 80 &amp; 81 show the <em>ladder stitch</em>, often
+used in ornamental embroidery. Trace first the outlines as seen in
+illustrations; mark also the cross stitches between the outlines,
+so that the first touch the outlines only at both ends. The
+outlines are embroidered in overcast stitch or double overcast; the
+material is cut away underneath the ladder stitch between the
+outlines.</p>

+<p>ILLUSTRATIONS 86 &amp; 87 (<em>Button-holes and

+long patterns. Trace first the outline of the hole, cut away a
+small round piece of material, not too close to the outlines (when
+the button-hole is very small merely insert the point of the
+scissors or a stiletto into the material), fold the edge of the
+material back with the needle, and work the hole in overcast
+stitch, inserting the needle into the empty place in the centre and
+drawing it out under the outline. Some button-holes are worked
+separately; sometimes they are in a row; if so, take care to begin
+to work each button-hole at the place where it touches the next. In
+the following button-holes the outside must be traced double, so as
+to reach as far as the next one, but each button-hole is finished
+at once. Illustration 86 shows a button-hole worked round in
+button-hole stitch, 87 an eyelet-hole worked in overcast.</p>

+embroidered cut away the muslin round the outlines with sharp

+learn to work initials the Roman characters are the easiest to

+in satin stitch, only the chain stitches underneath must not be too
+thick: it would take away the shape of the letters. All depends on
+the fineness and regularity of the stitches; they must be worked in
+overcast stitch. Work from left to right, and the letter when
+completed must look rather like raised printing than like
+embroidery. Gothic letters are much more difficult to work on
+account of the many flourishes; it requires great practice in
+needlework to embroider them well.</p>

+<h3>EMBROIDERY PATTERNS</h3>
+
+<p>[In working the following Embroidery Patterns it will be found
+advisable to trace the design clearly upon tracing-paper with a
+sharp-pointed lead pencil. The pattern thus traced must be
+perforated with a fine needle in a succession of tiny holes, at the
+rate of about twenty to the inch. Those ladies who possess a
+sewing-machine will find no difficulty in accomplishing this.
+Several thicknesses of paper can be perforated at the same time, if
+required, by any ordinary machine. To transfer the traced and
+perforated design to the fabric to be embroidered, it is only
+necessary to rub a small quantity of powder blue through the
+holes.]</p>

+outline comes a border worked over two strips of the canvas, in
+slanting stitches; this border is alternately blue in one square
+and grey in the other. A star is embroidered in point Russe in the
+centre of each square; it is grey in the blue squares and blue in
+the grey; a steel bead is placed in the middle of each star. The
+small crosses between the squares are worked in cerise. The outer
+border of the work is composed of a piece of black soutache, edged
+with a tiny trefoil pattern in cerise silk. The front and back
+pieces of the bag are worked in the same manner. The side pieces

+pine patterns are worked in satin stitch--the centre one is green,
+edged with red; the side ones are pink, edged with red; the small
+wing-like figures are black, edged with maize; the diamond, maize,
+edged with black, with an outer rim of maize. In the round pattern
+the centre is pink; the edge red, with red and yellow leaves; the 3

+<p>This embroidery pattern is worked between the borders of a

+The design is simple, but effective, and very easy to work. If
+worked on fine French cambric, the handkerchief should be lightly
+tacked upon <em>toile cir&eacute;e</em>. The rows of raised dots
+should be worked first, and then the graceful branches of pointed
+leaves in satin stitch. The plain round dots might be worked in
+bright red marking cotton in either of the patterns. To produce a
+good effect, rather fine cotton must be selected, and No. 40 will
+be found very effective on either lawn or cambric. For mourning
+wear, this pattern should be embroidered with black filoselle, or
+the leaves can be worked in white cotton, and the dots in
+filoselle.</p>

+bright rose-coloured silk; the quiver and arrows and all the other
+attributes are worked in gold thread; the hair in fine brown silk.
+The edge of the blue silk medallions is worked round in button-hole

+<h3>CROCHET INSTRUCTIONS</h3>
+
+<center><a name="image_c"><img alt="A Crochet Needle" src=
+"images/imagec.jpg"><br>
+<small>A Crochet-Needle</small></a></center>
+
+<p>Cotton or thread, wool or silk, with a crochet-needle, are the
+materials required for working crochet. The needle, whether it be
+steel or bone, must be smoothly polished. The long wooden and bone
+crochet-needles are used for wool; for cotton and silk work short
+steel needles screwed into a bone handle are best. The beauty of
+the crochet-work depends upon the regularity of the stitches, as is
+the case with every other style of needlework. The stitches must be
+elastic, but if too loose they look as bad as if too tight. The
+size of the needle and that of the cotton or wool must correspond;
+work only with the point of the needle, and never move the stitch
+up and down the needle. The cotton with which you work must be of
+the very best quality; for borders, insertions, rosettes, imitation
+of guipure, use Evans's crochet cotton; for couvrettes,
+counterpanes, covers, &amp;c., use knitting-cotton. All
+crochet-work <span class="newpage"><a name="page_186" id=
+"page_186">[186]</a></span> patterns are begun on a foundation
+chain; there are three kinds of foundation chains--the plain
+foundation, the double foundation, and the purl foundation
+chain.</p>
+
+<p>The plain foundation chain consists of chain stitches.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_216"><img alt="Plain Foundation Chain." src=
+"images/image216.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>ILLUSTRATION 216.--Form a loop with the cotton or other material
+with which you work, take it on the needle, and hold the cotton as
+for knitting on the forefinger and other fingers of the left hand.
+The crochet-needle is held in the right hand between the thumb and
+forefinger, as you hold a pen in writing; hold the end of the
+cotton of the loop between the thumb and forefinger of the left
+hand, wind the cotton once round the needle by drawing the needle
+underneath the cotton from left to right, catch the cotton with the
+hook of the needle and draw it as a loop through the loop already
+on the needle, which is cast off the needle by this means and forms
+one chain stitch. The drawing the cotton through the loop is
+repeated until the foundation chain has <span class="newpage"><a
+name="page_187" id="page_187">[187]</a></span> acquired sufficient
+length. When enough chain stitches have been made, take the
+foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand,
+so that these fingers are always close to and under the hook of the
+needle. Each stitch must be loose enough to let the hook of the
+needle pass easily through. All foundation chains are begun with a
+loop.</p>

+Crochet-Work</em>.</p>
+
+<p>Materials: Straw; brown floss silk; brown ribbon, 1-1/4 inch
+wide; small glass beads; a piece of bamboo cane.</p>
+
+<p>This basket has a cover formed of two pieces. It can be employed
+for <span class="newpage"><a name="page_266" id=
+"page_266">[266]</a></span> many things, and is formed entirely of
+crochet-work with brown silk over straw. A ruche trimmed with beads
+and bows of brown silk ribbon form the trimming of the basket. The
+straws over which you crochet must be damp, so as not to be stiff.
+They should be of unequal length, and when you join the two ends of
+two straws together, try to hide the beginning with the other
+straws. Begin the basket in the centre of the bottom part with 46
+stitches; then work 9 rounds on either side of this first row,
+working alternately 1 double stitch, 1 or 2 chain stitches, the
+double stitch in the chain stitch of the preceding round, the last
+round over wire.</p>
+
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_267" id=

+
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_268" id=
+"page_268">[268]</a></span>
+
+<p>It is necessary to increase regularly in all the rounds to keep
+the work flat. When you have finished the bottom begin the border
+of the basket, which is worked of the same piece with it, and
+consists of 11 rounds.</p>
+
+<p>It is worked in the same way as the bottom, the first 2 rounds
+without increasing the number of stitches, but in the following 9
+rounds increase 2 double stitches at both ends, in order that the
+edge may be a little wider in the upper part. In the last round add
+a piece of wire to the straws.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_273"><img alt=
+"Work Basket in Straw and Crochet." src=
+"images/image273.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>The cover of the basket is formed of two pieces. Begin in the
+middle with 28 stitches; crochet each half in rows forming a half
+circle, working backwards and forwards; at the beginning of each
+row turn the straws, and take care that the rows which are finished
+form a straight line. Each half of the cover requires 9 rows; the
+last one is worked over wire. The two halves are united at the
+straight sides by a brown silk ribbon 1-1/4 inch wide, which is
+sewed on underneath, and which forms a sort of hinge; sew on also a
+piece of wire covered with brown silk, so as to make the hinge
+stronger. Form the handle with a piece of bamboo cane 23 inches
+long, and covered with straws; work over it in long stitches of
+brown silk, and let it go down to the bottom of the basket; then
+sew the cover on the handle with the brown ribbon, which forms the
+two parts. Trim the basket with a ruche of double box pleats,
+ornamented with glass beads and with bows of brown silk ribbon.</p>

+up with lace stitches, by making alternately 3 chain, 1 purl
+(<em>i.e</em>., 5 chain and 1 slip stitch in the 1st). When the

+of next loop, and so on.</p>
+
+<p>The 3rd row (which is the last) is worked on the opposite side

+one, and is also pretty done in silk for a sofa cushion. Make a
+chain of 4 stitches, and unite it</p>
+
+<p><em>1st round:</em> Work into 1 loop a long stitch, make 1 chain
+stitch, work another long stitch into the same place, make 1 chain,

+
+<p><em>6th round:</em> Into the 9 chain 2 double crochet, * make 4
+chain, work 2 double crochet, repeat from * 3 times more, make 5
+chain, work a stitch of single crochet into the 2nd of the 5, make
+1 chain stitch, and repeat from the beginning of the round.</p>
+
+<p><em>7th round:</em> 1 long stitch into the loop formed with the
+5 chain, make 12 chain, and repeat.</p>
+
+<p><em>8th round:</em> Into the 12 chain 2 double crochet into
+successive loops, make 4 chain, work 1 double crochet into each of
+the 2 next loops, make 1 chain, work into the 6th loop 1 double
+crochet, 5 long stitches, and another double crochet, make 1 chain,
+miss 1 loop, work 2 double crochet into successive loops, make 4
+chain, work 1 double crochet into each of the 2 next, make 5 chain,
+and repeat. This completes the circle. 120 circles sewn together
+like the engraving will make a good-sized couvrette, 12 in the
+length, and 10 in the width. If a round couvrette is wished, work 1
+circle for the centre larger than the others; this can be done by
+repeating the 5th and 6th rounds, then sew 8 circles round the
+centre one, and increase the number of circles in each row till you
+have made it the size you wish. For the square one, tassels are
+required for the end and sides; these are made by winding the
+cotton over a cardboard 4 inches deep about 80 times, then twist 8
+threads of the cotton into a cord, cut the cotton wound on the
+cardboard at one end, make 2 inches of the cord into a loop and tie
+it firmly with the middle of the tassel, then turn it, tie a thread
+tightly round, about an inch below the cord, and net over the head;
+40 of these tassels will be sufficient.</p>

+<p>286.--<em>Crochet Trimming for a Lady's Chemise</em>.</p>
+
+<p>Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton, and a
+needle to match.</p>
+
+<p>This pattern, as can be seen in illustration, is an imitation of
+old guipure lace; it is worked all in one piece for the bosom and
+sleeves, and is part of one of the shoulder-pieces in full size.
+Both strips of rosettes join at that place, and one is continued
+for the part round the bosom and the other for the sleeve. In the
+pattern there are 42 rosettes round the bosom, and 14 round each
+sleeve. These rosettes are fastened one to another in the course of
+the work. They are made in the following manner:--Make a chain of 6
+stitches, and join it into a ring.</p>
+
+<p><em>1st round:</em> 8 chain, 1 slip stitch in the 4th chain,
+which forms a purl (the 3 first chain are reckoned as 1 treble), 1
+chain, 1 treble in the ring, * 5 chain, 1 slip stitch in the 1st to
+form a purl, 1 chain, 1 treble in the ring. Repeat 6 times from *.
+Instead of the last treble, work a slip stitch to fasten the end of
+the round to the 3 chain of the beginning, which thus form 1
+treble.</p>
+
+<p><em>2nd round:</em> 9 chain (the 3 first to be reckoned as 1
+treble), * 1 treble on the 1st treble of last round, 6 chain.
+Repeat 6 times from *. 1 slip stitch in the treble at the
+beginning.</p>
+
+<p><em>3rd round:</em> On each scallop of preceding round work 2
+double, 1 purl, 2 double, 1 purl, 2 double, 1 purl, 2 double. This
+completes the rosette. Each rosette is fastened to the last by
+joining the 2 middle purl of both. In the illustration, which is
+full-size, the purl that are to be joined to those of another
+rosette are marked by a cross. The joining between the part round
+the bosom and the sleeve is made in the same manner. The space left
+between 4 rosettes is filled up with a star formed of chain
+stitches, marked in our illustration with an asterisk. For this
+star make a chain of 5 stitches, the 1st of which forms the <span
+class="newpage"><a name="page_285" id="page_285">[285]</a></span>
+centre; slip the loop you have on the needle through one of the 8
+purl that are free, make 5 chain, 1 double in the centre stitch.
+Repeat 7 times from *; then tie the two ends tightly, or sew them
+together 3 of these stars are required for each shoulder.</p>

+rosette</em>; 5 chain, 1 double in the centre purl of the 2nd
+scallop of the same rosette, 4 chain; then work the kind of cross
+which comes between each rosette (see illustration). To make this
+cross throw the cotton 3 times round the needle, work 1 double
+treble in the last purl left free of the 1st rosette, keep the last
+loop on the needle, throw the cotton twice round it, and work a
+double treble in the 1st purl left free in the 2nd rosette, throw
+the thread twice round the needle, work 1 treble with the loop left
+on the needle, make 2 chain, and work 1 treble in the last double
+treble, which completes the cross; make 4 chain. Repeat from * at
+each slit on the shoulders; after the last cross make 6 chain, 1
+slip stitch in the 2 purl at the end of the slit, 6 chain to come
+to the next space, where a cross is to be made.</p>
+
+<p><em>2nd round:</em> Work alternately 1 treble, 2 chain, miss 2;
+at the slit on the shoulders work 6 double over the 6 chain. The
+two rounds just explained are also worked round the upper edge, and
+finished round the sleeves by the following round:--1 double in one
+of the spaces in last round, * 6 chain, 1 double in the 2nd of the
+6 chain, which forms a purl, 1 chain, 1 double on the next but one
+of the last round, 6 chain, 1 double in the 2nd of the 6 chain, 1
+chain, 1 double in the next space. Repeat from *. On the upper edge

+<h3>KNITTING INSTRUCTIONS</h3>
+
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_289" id=
+"page_289">[289]</a></span>
+
+<p>287.--KNITTING, though considered to be an old-fashioned art, is
+by no means so ancient as lacemaking. Knitting has never entirely
+quitted the hands of English and German ladies; indeed, among all
+good housewives of any civilised country, it is reckoned an
+indispensable accomplishment. Knitting schools have been
+established of late years both in Ireland and Scotland, and Her
+Majesty the Queen has herself set an example of this industry, as
+well as largely patronised the industrial knitters of Scotland. Of
+the rudiments of this useful art many ladies are at present
+ignorant; it is in the hope of being useful to these that the
+following instructions are offered.</p>
+
+<p>To knit, two, three, four, or five needles, and either thread,
+cotton, silk, or wool are required.</p>
+
+<p>Knitting needles are made of steel, of ivory, or of wood; the
+size to be used depends entirely upon the material employed,
+whether thread, cotton, silk, single or double wool, for knitting.
+As the size of the needles depends upon that of the cotton, a
+knitting gauge is used (see No. 287). The gauge (page 290) is the
+exact size of Messrs. H. Walker and Co.'s knitting gauge. Our
+readers will remark that English and foreign gauges differ very
+essentially; the finest size of German <span class="newpage"><a
+name="page_290" id="page_290">[290]</a></span> needles, for
+example, is No. 1, which is the size of the coarsest English wooden
+or ivory needle. Straight knitting is usually done with two needles
+only for round knitting for socks, stockings, &amp;c., three, four,
+and five needles are employed.</p>
+

+
+<hr>
+<br>
+
+
+<p>288.--<em>Casting On</em>.</p>
+
+<p>This term is used for placing the first row or round of knitting
+stitches on the needles--"casting them on"--and is done in two
+ways--by "knitting on" the stitches, or as follows:--</p>
+
+<p>Hold the thread between the first and second finger of the left
+hand, throw it over the thumb and first finger so as to form a
+loop, and pass the needle in the loop; throw the thread lightly
+round the needle, pass it through the loop, and draw up the thread;
+this forms the first stitch (see No. 288).</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_288"><img alt="Casting On." src=
+"images/image288.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>289.--<em>To Knit On</em>.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_289"><img alt="Knitting On." src=
+"images/image289.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>Take the needle on which the stitches are cast in the left hand,
+and another needle in the right hand--observe the position of the
+hands <span class="newpage"><a name="page_291" id=
+"page_291">[291]</a></span> (No. 289). Hold the left-hand needle
+between the thumb and third finger, leaving the first finger free
+to move the points of the needles. (The wonderful sense of touch in
+the first or index finger is so delicate, that an experienced
+knitter can work without ever looking at her fingers, by the help
+of this touch only--in fact, knitting becomes a purely mechanical
+labour, and as such is most useful.) Insert the point of the
+right-hand needle in the loop or stitch formed on the left-hand
+needle, bring the thread once round, turning the point of the
+needle in <span class="newpage"><a name="page_292" id=
+"page_292">[292]</a></span> front under the stitch, bringing up the
+thread thrown over, which in its turn becomes a stitch, and is
+placed on the left-hand needle.</p>
+
+<p>290.--<em>Simple Knitting (plain)</em>.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_290"><img alt="Plain Knitting." src=
+"images/image290.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>Pass the right-hand needle into the 1st stitch of the left-hand
+needle, at the back throw the thread forward, and with the first
+finger pass the point of the needle under the stitch in forming a
+fresh stitch with the thread already thrown over, as in "knitting
+on," only, instead of placing the newly-formed stitch on the
+left-hand needle, leave it on the right-hand needle, and let the
+stitch drop off the point of the left-hand needle. Continue thus
+until all the stitches are taken from the left to the right-hand
+needle, and the row is then complete.</p>
+
+<p>291.--<em>To Purl, Pearl, or Seam</em>.</p>
+
+<p>Seaming or purling a stitch is done by taking up the stitch
+<em>in front</em> instead of at the back, throwing the thread over
+and knitting the stitch as in plain knitting; but before beginning
+to purl, the thread must be brought in front of the needle, and if
+a plain stitch follows, the thread is passed back after the purl
+stitch is made (see No. 291).</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_291"><img alt="Purling." src=
+"images/image291.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>292.--<em>To Increase</em>. <span class="newpage"><a name=
+"page_293" id="page_293">[293]</a></span> Increasing or making a
+stitch is done by throwing the thread once round the needle and in
+the next row knitting it as an ordinary stitch.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_292"><img alt="Increasing." src=
+"images/image292.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>293.--<em>To Decrease</em>.</p>
+
+<p>This is done in two ways: <em>firstly</em>, taking up two
+stitches and knitting them together as one; <em>secondly</em>, by
+taking up a stitch without knitting it, called slipping, then by
+knitting the following stitch in the usual way, and then slipping
+the 1st (unknitted) over the 2nd (knitted) (see No. 293). When it
+is necessary to decrease two stitches at once, proceed thus:--Slip
+one, knit two stitches together, then slip the unknitted stitch
+over the two knitted together.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_293"><img alt="Decreasing." src=
+"images/image293.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_294" id=
+"page_294">[294]</a></span>
+
+<p>294.--<em>Round Knitting</em>.</p>
+
+<p>To knit a round four or five needles are used; it is thus that
+stockings, socks, cuffs, mittens, &amp;c., are made. To knit with
+four needles, cast on, say, 32 stitches upon one needle, insert a
+second needle in the last stitch of the first, and cast on 30
+stitches; proceed in a similar way with a third needle, but casting
+on 28 only; when this is done, knit the two extra stitches on the
+first needle on to the last; this makes 30 stitches upon each
+needle, and completes the round.</p>
+
+<p>295.--<em>Casting Off</em>.</p>
+
+<p>Knit two stitches, and with the left-hand needle slip the first
+stitch over the second; continue this to the end of the row.
+<em>Note</em>.--The last knitted row, before casting off, should be
+knitted loosely. <span class="newpage"><a name="page_295" id=
+"page_295">[295]</a></span></p>
+
+<p>296.--<em>To Pick up a Stitch</em>.</p>
+
+<p>This is done by taking up the thread between two stitches and
+forming a stitch with it.</p>
+
+<hr>
+<br>
+
+
+<p>The following Designs of New Stitches can be used for a variety
+of work:--</p>
+
+<p>297.--<em>Peacock's Tail Pattern</em>.</p>
+
+<p>Needles, wood or ivory; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting
+cotton.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_297"><img alt="Peacock's Tail Pattern." src=
+"images/image297.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>Cast on a number of stitches divisible by nine, as it takes nine
+stitches for each pattern, and two for each border; the border,
+which <span class="newpage"><a name="page_296" id=
+"page_296">[296]</a></span> is in plain knitting, will not be
+mentioned after the first row.</p>
+
+<p>1<em>st Row</em>.--2 plain for border; 2 plain *, make 1, 1
+plain, repeat this four times from *, make 1, 2 plain; repeat from
+the beginning--then 2 plain for border.</p>
+
+<p>2<em>nd Row</em>.--2 purl, 11 plain, 2 purl; repeat.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_298"><img alt="Spiral Stitch." src=
+"images/image298.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>3<em>rd Row</em>.--Take 2 together, 11 plain, take 2 together;
+repeat.</p>
+
+<p>4<em>th Row</em>.--Purl 2 together, purl 9, purl 2 together;
+repeat.</p>
+
+<p>5<em>th Row</em>.--Take 2 together, 7 plain, take 2
+together.</p>
+
+<p>Begin from the 1st row.</p>
+
+<p>Thirteen stitches are large enough for a stripe for a
+sofa-cover. These stripes should be sewn together after all are
+finished.</p>
+
+<hr>
+<br>
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_297" id=
+"page_297">[297]</a></span>
+
+<p>298.--<em>Spiral Stitch</em>.</p>
+
+<p>Materials: Needles, thick steel or bone; double wool.</p>
+
+<p>This stitch is far more effective worked in thick wool than in
+cotton. It is done in stripes alternately wide and narrow. For wide
+stripes cast on twenty-one stitches, for narrow fifteen; this
+without counting the first and last stitch, the first being
+slipped, the last always plainly knitted.</p>
+
+<p>1<em>st Row</em>.--Purl 3 together to end of row.</p>
+
+<p><em>2nd Row</em>.--Make 1, * 1 plain, make 2, repeat from * end
+by making the last stitch before the plain knitted one at end of
+row.</p>
+
+<hr>
+<br>
+
+
+<center><a name="image_299"><img alt="Knotted Stitch." src=

+
+<p>299.--<em>Knotted Stitch</em>.</p>
+
+<p>Materials: Needles, wood or ivory; double wool.</p>
+
+<p>Cast on 11 stitches.</p>
+
+<p><em>1st Row</em>.--All plain, throwing the wool twice round the
+needle before each stitch.</p>
+
+<p><em>2nd Row</em>.--Each stitch on the needle is now composed of
+3 threads of wool: knit the first plain, the second purl, the third
+plain; cast off the second over the third, and the first over the
+second; this leaves but one stitch; repeat from first row until a
+sufficient length is obtained. This pattern makes very pretty
+borders.</p>
+
+<hr>
+<br>
+
+
+<p>300.--<em>Knitted Moss Borders</em>.</p>
+
+<p>Materials: Steel needles; moss wool of several shades of
+green.</p>
+
+<p>Cast on enough stitches for double the width required, say
+twenty, and knit very tightly in plain knitting, row by row, until
+a sufficient length has been obtained. Cut off and place the strip
+on a sieve over a basin of boiling water, and cover it over. When
+it has absorbed the steam, and while wet, iron it with a box-iron.
+Then cut the strip down the centre, and unravel the wool on each
+side. The threads of wool all curling, resemble moss. They are held
+firmly by the selvedge of the knitting.</p>
+
+<hr>
+<br>
+
+
+<p>301.--<em>German Brioche Stitch</em></p>
+
+<p>Materials: Wood or ivory needles; wool.</p>
+
+<p>Cast on an even number of stitches.</p>
+
+<p>All the rows are knitted as follows:--Slip 1, taken as for
+purling, <span class="newpage"><a name="page_299" id=
+"page_299">[299]</a></span> make 1, take 2 together. In the
+following rows the made stitch must always be slipped, the
+decreased stitch and the slipped stitch of the previous row knitted
+together.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_301"><img alt="German Brioche Stitch." src=
+"images/image301.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>Ordinary Brioche Stitch is made by casting on an even number of
+stitches, and working the rows as follows:--</p>
+
+<p>Make 1, slip 1, take 2 together; repeat. <em>Note</em>.--The
+made stitch and the slipped stitch of the previous row must always
+be knitted together, and the decreased stitch of that row
+slipped.</p>

+"NETTING_INSTRUCTIONS"></a>
+
+<h3>NETTING INSTRUCTIONS</h3>
+
+<p>302.--NETTING is one of the prettiest and one of the easiest
+accomplishments of a lady. The materials are simple, while the
+effects produced by good netting are most elegant and of great
+durability. One great advantage of netting is that each stitch is
+finished and independent of the next, so that if an accident
+happens to one stitch it does not, as in crochet or knitting, spoil
+the whole work.</p>
+
+<p>Netting, so easy to do, is most difficult to describe. The
+materials required are--a netting-needle and mesh (see illustration
+No. 302). These are made of bone, of wood, of ivory, and most
+commonly of steel. The wood, bone, and ivory are only used for
+netting wool, the steel for silk, cotton, &amp;c.</p>
+
+<p>The needle is filled by passing the end of the thread through
+the little hole at the left-hand point, and tying it; then the
+thread is wound on the needle as on a tatting shuttle. The needles
+are numbered from 12 to 24; these last are extremely fine. The
+meshes correspond to the sizes of the needles, and are made of the
+same materials. The larger the size of the stitch required the
+thicker the mesh must be selected; indeed, large hat meshes are
+often used for some patterns. A stirrup to slip over the foot to
+which the foundation is attached is required by those who do <span
+class="newpage"><a name="page_302" id="page_302">[302]</a></span>
+not use a netting cushion, placed before them on the table and
+heavily weighted; to this the foundation is fastened.</p>
+
+<p>The stirrup is made of a loop of ribbon, to which the foundation
+is tied. Some ladies work a pretty stirrup of the exact shape of a
+horseman's stirrup; a loop of ribbon is passed through this, and
+the foundation fixed as before.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_302"><img alt="Needle and Mesh." src=
+"images/image302.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>303.--<em>To Net</em>.</p>
+
+<p>Place the mesh under the thread, between the thumb and finger of
+the left hand; it must rest on the middle of the finger and be held
+only by the thumb (see illustration No. 303). Take the needle in
+the right hand, pass the thread over the middle and ring finger and
+over the mesh, pass the needle upwards and behind the mesh in the
+large loop which forms the thread round the fingers, and at the
+same time through the first stitch or loop of the foundation. Draw
+the needle out, retaining the loops on the fingers and dropping
+them off, the little finger being the last to release the thread.
+As the thread tightens and the knot is firm, the loop on the little
+finger should be drawn up quickly and smartly. The next stitches
+are precisely similar, and row upon row is formed in the <span
+class="newpage"><a name="page_303" id="page_303">[303]</a></span>
+same manner. Having learnt the stitch, the next task is to make a
+foundation. Tie a large loop of strong thread on the stirrup
+ribbon, and net fifty stitches into this loop, then net four or
+five rows, and the foundation is ready.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_303"><img alt="Netting." src=
+"images/image303.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>Simple netting as above explained forms diamonds or lozenges.
+When a piece of netting is finished it is cut off the foundation,
+and the little ends of thread that held the stitches are drawn
+out.</p>
+
+<p>304.--<em>Square Netting</em>.</p>
+
+<p>Is done precisely in the same manner as plain netting, only
+begin from one stitch, then net two stitches into this first, and
+increase by making two in the last loop of every row. As soon as
+the right number of stitches is complete diminish exactly in the
+same way by netting two stitches as one at the end of each row
+until one stitch alone remains. These squares are used for guipure
+d'art and for darning on.</p>
+
+<p>305.--<em>Round Netting</em></p>
+
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_304" id=
+"page_304">[304]</a></span>
+
+<p>Is nearly similar to plain netting. A little difference exists
+in the way of passing the needle through the stitch; this is shown
+in No. 305. After having passed the needle through the stitch it is
+drawn out and passed from above into the loop just made. This
+stitch is very effective for purses.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_305"><img alt="Round Netting." src=
+"images/image305.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>306.--<em>Diamond Netting</em></p>
+
+<p>Is often called "pointed netting," and is made by netting from
+one stitch, increasing one stitch at the end of each row, and
+decreasing in the same way, as described at page 303.</p>
+
+<p>307.--<em>To Net Rounds</em>.</p>
+
+<p>To form a circle, as for a purse, the needle must pass through
+the first stitch, keeping the last three or four on the mesh and
+removing this when required by the work. <span class="newpage"><a
+name="page_305" id="page_305">[305]</a></span></p>
+
+<p>308.--<em>"English" Netting</em></p>
+
+<p>Is made as follows:--Net a row of plain netting, begin the
+second row by netting the second stitch, then net the first;
+repeat, always passing by one stitch and taking it up.</p>
+
+<p><em>3rd Row</em>--Plain.</p>
+
+<p><em>4th Row</em>--Begin by a plain stitch, then continue as in
+the 2nd row.</p>
+
+<p><em>5th Row</em>--Plain.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_308"><img alt="English Netting." src=
+"images/image308.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>309.--<em>Lace Edging</em>.</p>
+
+<p>Begin by one stitch and net two in one at the end of each row
+until as many stitches are required for the narrowest part of the
+edge. * Increase one then in the two loops until the point of the
+edge or scallop is reached; at the next row leave the squares which
+form the point, and begin from *.</p>
+
+<p>310.--<em>Open Lace</em>.</p>
+
+<p>This kind of edging is made with two meshes of different sizes
+and extremely fine crochet cotton.</p>
+
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_306" id=
+"page_306">[306]</a></span>
+
+<p>Tie the thread to the foundation, net 3 rows with the small mesh
+of the required length.</p>
+
+<p><em>4th Row</em>--On the large mesh, one stitch in each
+stitch.</p>
+
+<p><em>5th Row</em>--On the small mesh take 3 stitches together to
+form 1 loop; repeat to end of row.</p>
+
+<p><em>6th Row</em>--On the large mesh make 5 loops in each stitch;
+repeat to end of row.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_310"><img alt="Open Lace." src=
+"images/image310.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p><em>7th Row</em>--On the small mesh, one loop in each of the 4
+first stitches, pass over the 5th, repeat to end.</p>
+
+<p><em>8th Row</em>--On the small mesh make a loop in each of the
+two first stitches, pass over the 4th; repeat.</p>
+
+<p><em>9th Row</em>--On the small mesh make a loop in each of the
+two first stitches, pass over the 3rd; repeat.</p>
+
+<p>This lace is often used in fine wool of two colours to trim
+opera-caps, children's hoods, &amp;c.</p>
+
+<p>311.--<em>Shell Border</em>.</p>
+
+<p>This border is intended as an edging for square netting for
+couvrettes, d'oyleys, &amp;c. The mesh must be three times as long
+as that employed for the square netting.</p>
+
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_307" id=
+"page_307">[307]</a></span>
+
+<p>Make 12 stitches in the first stitch of the edge, pass over 8,
+make 12 in the ninth, and repeat. Then take the mesh used for the
+square netting, and net one stitch in each stitch, take a still
+smaller mesh, and complete by adding another row of one stitch in
+each stitch.</p>
+
+<p>This border forms a very appropriate edging for all articles in
+square netting, as couvrettes, mats, also for trimming guipure
+d'art work, and should be netted in the row of holes edging the
+work; two sets of shells must be worked at the corners when a
+little fulness is required.</p>

+<p>312.--<em>Knitted Sock for a Child.</em></p>
+
+<p>Materials for 1 pair: 1 ounce of single Berlin wool; 1 yard of
+narrow pink or blue ribbon; 2 fine steel pins.</p>
+
+<p>This sock fits well, and is easy to make. It is knitted upon two
+pins, backwards and forwards. Cast on 22 stitches and knit 22 rows,
+but increase once at the end of every other row on the right side
+of the work, so that there are 33 stitches in the 22nd row. Now
+cast off 28 stitches and knit 12 rows, increasing 1 stitch at the
+end of every other row. Now 12 more rows, decreasing 1 stitch at
+the end of every other row; this forms the toe. Cast on 28 stitches
+on the same needle, and knit 22 rows, decreasing 1 stitch at the
+end of every other row, and cast off. Pick up the 68 stitches on
+the upper part of shoe, and knit 20 rows, alternately 2 plain and 2
+purl rows, decreasing 1 stitch on each side of the 12 stitches in
+every other row, which forms the toe and front of sock. Knit 14
+rows of 2 plain, 2 purl stitches alternately, then 3 open rows with
+1 plain row between. <span class="newpage"><a name="page_310" id=
+"page_310">[310]</a></span> The open rows are worked as follows:--*
+Purl 2 together, purl 1, make 1, repeat *, 3 plain rows, 1 open
+row, 1 plain row, and cast off. The sock is sewn together down the
+back of leg, centre of sole, and the point joined like a gusset to
+form the toe.</p>

+throw the cotton forward, knit 1.</p>
+
+<p>The 9th to 18th rounds are knitted in the same manner, only in
+every other round the number of stitches between the 2 stitches
+formed by throwing the cotton forward increases by 2, so that in

+
+<p>Materials for one pair: 4 ounces white fleecy, 3 ply; 1 ounces
+light blue fleecy.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_314"><img alt="Knitted Sleeping Sock." src=
+"images/image314.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>These socks are knitted with white and blue wool in a diamond
+pattern, and in rounds like a stocking. Begin at the upper part of
+the sock; cast on 103 stitches with blue wool on pretty thick steel
+knitting-needles, and knit 20 rounds of the diamond pattern as
+follows:--</p>
+
+<p><em>1st round:</em> Quite plain.</p>
+
+<p><em>2nd round:</em> Purled; both these rounds are worked with
+blue wool.</p>
+
+<p><em>3rd to 6th rounds:</em> Knitted plain with white wool.</p>
+
+<p><em>7th round:</em>With blue wool; knit 3, draw the wool through
+the next stitch of the 2nd round worked with blue wool, draw it out
+as a loop, keep it on the needle, knit again 3 stitches, and so on.
+8th round: With blue wool; the loop which has been taken up on the
+preceding round is purled off together with the preceding stitch.
+Repeat the 3rd and 8th rounds <span class="newpage"><a name=
+"page_315" id="page_315">[315]</a></span> twice more; the loop of
+one round must be placed between those of the preceding one. Then
+knit with white wool 31 rounds, alternately 2 stitches knitted, 2
+stitches purled, then work the foot in the diamond pattern in the
+same way as usual for a stocking. The heel is formed by leaving 23
+stitches on each side the seam stitch, and knitted backwards and
+forwards in the diamond pattern. At the toe decrease so that the
+decreasings form a seam on both sides of the toe. This is obtained
+by knitting the 3rd and 4th stitches of the 1st needle together; on
+the 2nd needle slip the 4th stitch before the last, knit the next
+stitch and draw the slipped stitch over the knitted one; decrease
+in the same manner on the other 2 needles of this round. Repeat
+these decreasings <span class="newpage"><a name="page_316" id=
+"page_316">[316]</a></span> exactly in the same direction and at
+the same places, so that there are always 4 stitches between the 2
+decreasings at the end and at the beginning of 2 needles; they
+always take place after 3 or 2 plain rounds, and at last after 1
+plain round. The remaining stitches are knitted off 2 and 2
+together. To complete the sock, the outline of the sole is marked
+by working slip stitches with blue wool in crochet all round it;
+work also slip stitches on the selvedge stitch of the heel. The
+stocking is finished off at the top with a double round of loops in
+blue wool, worked over a mesh four-fifths of an inch wide.</p>

+
+<p>Material: Fine wool, or white and blue silk; netting needle and
+meshes.</p>
+
+<p>This fichu or cape is made either with fine wool or with silk
+used three or four times double. It may be worn as an evening wrap,
+either over a cap or on the hair, or as a necktie. The ground in
+our pattern is white, the border blue. The illustration of the
+ground and of the border, in full size, will serve as a guide for
+the size of the meshes to be used. For the ground cast on the first
+mesh, with white silk, 56 stitches; work 2 rows on the 56 stitches.
+From the 3rd row, always miss the last stitch, so that each row is
+decreased 1 stitch. Continue in this manner till the 39th row, when
+there will be but 19 stitches left. From the 40th row, miss 2
+stitches at the end of each row. The ground is completed with the
+46th row. The 1st row of the work is the <em>cross-way side</em>;
+the last, the <em>point at the bottom</em>; fasten on the blue silk
+to the 1st stitch of the 1st row, and on a larger mesh work 1 row
+round the ground of the fichu, not forgetting that the stitch on
+the outer edge at the sides must always be taken, and 2 stitches
+made in the 5th, 10th, 14th, 18th, 21st, 23rd, and 25th stitches at
+the sides, as well as in each of the 2 middle stitches of the last
+row; in each of the other stitches 1 stitch should be made. On the
+corners of the sides increase <em>once</em>, on the cross-way side,
+seven times in all.</p>

+
+<p>This purse is knitted with black and scarlet purse silk, and
+ornamented with black beads and a black bead tassel. Begin the
+purse with the black silk in the centre of the bottom part, and
+cast on for one part of it 7 stitches. Knit 14 rows on these
+backwards and forwards, in such a manner that the work is knitted
+on one side and purled on the other. The 1st stitch of every row is
+slipped, the 1st row of this part is purled. * On that side where
+hangs the thread with which you work take the back chain of the 7
+selvedge stitches of the part you have just knitted on a separate
+needle, and knit another part, which must have 15 rows, and the 1st
+row of which is knitted. Repeat 10 times more from *. The stitches
+of several parts can be taken on the same needle, so as not to be
+hindered in working by too many needles. When the 12th part is
+completed, take the selvedge stitches on the left hand on another
+needle, cast them off together with the cast on stitches of the 1st
+part, and fasten the silk thread. Then take the 7 right-hand
+selvedge stitches of one black part on a needle, take the red silk
+on which the beads have been strung and work 15 rows on these
+stitches, the 1st row from the wrong side, and therefore purled; in
+the 1st, as well as in all the other purled rows, the last stitch
+must be purled together with the next stitch of the next black
+part. In the purled rows, moreover, <span class="newpage"><a name=
+"page_321" id="page_321">[321]</a></span> excepting in the first
+and last one, a bead must be worked in after casting off the 2nd,
+4th, and 6th stitches. The stitch must be worked by inserting the
+needle into the back part, and in drawing through the silk which
+has been thrown forward, let the bead slide through the stitch so
+that it is on the right side of the work. In the following knitted
+row, the needle must also be inserted into the back part of the
+bead stitch. When 12 such red parts have been completed, work again
+12 black parts on the selvedge stitch of the same, in which the
+beads are not knitted in, but sewn on afterwards, when the purse is
+completed. Then work 3 times more alternately 12 red and 12 black
+parts; when the last 12 black parts have been completed cast off
+the stitches of the last black part together with the selvedge
+stitches, the 1st on the wrong side; the stitches of the 6th part
+are cast off in the same manner together with the selvedge stitches
+of the 7th. The red parts which remain to be worked on the black
+part are thus lessened by 2; the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, and the 7th,
+8th, and 9th of these parts must be by 6 rows longer. Then gather
+all the stitches and selvedge stitches of the 10 parts on 2
+needles, in such a manner that the 2 black parts, the stitches and
+selvedge stitches of which have been cast off together, are placed
+on the sides of the purse, and knit as follows with black silk,
+first on the stitches of the one needle, and then on those of the
+other:--1 row knitted, knitting together every 3rd and 4th stitch;
+then work 3 rows backwards and forwards on the same number of
+stitches, which must be knitted on the right side; then work 8 rows
+more in the same manner, casting off the 2 first stitches of the 8
+rows. Then cast off all the remaining stitches, sew the beads on
+the black parts from illustration; also the clasp and bead
+tassel.</p>

+
+<p>This antimacassar, part of which is seen on No. 320, smaller
+than full size, is made of rosettes and small squares, which are
+knitted separately with violet and grey fleecy wool with fine
+knitting-needles. In the middle of each rosette sew on a tatted
+circle of grey wool. The edge of the antimacassar is ornamented
+with a grey woollen fringe. For each rosette cast on 6 stitches
+with violet wool, and knit 12 rows backwards and forwards in such a
+manner that the work is knitted on one side and purled on the
+other: the first of these 12 rows is purled, the first stitch of
+every row is slipped; * then take the first five selvedge stitches
+of the knitted part on a separate needle (on the side where the end
+of wool hangs down, leaving it unnoticed for the present),
+inserting the needle into the back chain of the stitch (the
+selvedge stitch which is next to the cast-on stitch remains,
+therefore, unworked upon), and knit on these a new part, which must
+have 13 rows; the first row is knitted, and in this row work 2
+stitches in the first stitch, one purled and one knitted, so that
+this new part is equally six stitches wide. Repeat 8 times more
+from *. After having worked several parts, the stitches can, of
+course, be taken on the same needle, so as not to increase the
+number of needles. When the 10th part is completed, <span class=

+the selvedge stitches of the left-hand side of the same on a
+separate needle, cast them off with the cast-on stitches of the
+first part, and fasten the wool. Then take the 6 selvedge stitches
+on the right hand of one part on a separate needle; take the grey
+wool, and work on these stitches 13 rows backwards and forwards;
+the first row is knitted; it is worked on the right side of the
+work; in this, and in every following <em>knitted</em> row, knit
+the last stitch together with the next stitch of the next violet
+part. When 10 such grey parts are completed (each of the remaining
+9 parts consists of 13 rows, and begins with one knitted row), take
+all the stitches and the selvedge stitches of these parts on four
+needles and knit with these stitches, also with <span class=
+"newpage"><a name="page_324" id="page_324">[324]</a></span> grey
+wool 1 row knitted, in which the 6 selvedge stitches must be
+decreased to 3 by knitting always 2 stitches together as 1 stitch;
+each of the other stitches is knitted as usual. Then purl 2 rows
+with violet wool, and cast off.</p>

+1 purl 3-10ths of an inch long, 2 double, then 1 purl and 1 double.
+The circle is sewn on the rosette, from illustration, with grey
+wool. No. 319 shows such a rosette full size. The small squares
+(<em>see</em> No. 318) are worked with <span class="newpage"><a

+36 stitches, join the stitches into a circle, and purl 2 rows. To
+form the corners, knit together 4 times 2 stitches after every 7
+stitches in the first of these two rounds, in the second round knit
+together 2 stitches after every 6 stitches; these decreasings and
+those of the other rounds must always take place, at the same
+places as in the preceding round. Then take the violet wool, and
+knit 7 rows; in the first of these knit 4 times 2 stitches together
+after intervals of 5 stitches; no decreasings take place in the
+2nd, 4th, and 6th rows; in the 3rd row knit together 4 times 3
+stitches as 1 stitch, and in the 5th and 7th rows 4 times 2
+stitches as 1 stitch. After the 7th round, the remaining stitches

+
+<p>Materials: 4 ounces black, 3-1/2 ounces purple fleecy; black
+silk elastic; a steel buckle; 9 black bone buttons.</p>
+
+<p>This bodice is knitted in brioche stitch with black and purple
+wool, so <span class="newpage"><a name="page_332" id=
+"page_332">[332]</a></span> that the raised ribs appear black on
+one side and purple on the other. The bodice fits quite close. It
+is fastened in front with black bone buttons and a steel buckle.
+Two strips of silk elastic are knitted in at the bottom. Begin at
+the bottom of the bodice with black wool, and cast on 170 stitches.
+The needles must be rather fine, and the knitting not too loose.
+Work backwards and forwards 24 rows as follows:--Slip the 1st
+stitch, alternately throw the wool forward, slip 1 as if you were
+going to purl it, and knit 1. In the next row knit together the
+stitch which has been slipped and the stitch formed by throwing the
+wool forward, slip the knitted stitch, after having thrown the wool
+forward. In the 25th row take the purple wool and work 1 row as
+before.</p>

+"images/image325.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>Now work alternately 1 row with black wool and 1 row with
+purple, but as the wool is not cut off, the brioche stitch must be
+alternately knitted and purled. Work always 2 rows on the same side
+from right to left. The following 26th row is worked with black
+wool in common brioche stitch, only the slipped stitch of the
+preceding row is purled together with the stitch formed by throwing
+the wool forward. 27th row: Turn the work, with purple wool purled
+brioche stitch. 28th row: On the same side with black wool knitted
+brioche stitch. After having worked 40 rows all in the same manner,
+begin the front gore. Divide the stitches upon three needles, 82
+stitches on one needle for the back, and 44 stitches for <span
+class="newpage"><a name="page_334" id="page_334">[334]</a></span>
+each front part on the two other needles. Then work the first 11
+stitches of the left front part (this row must be worked on that
+side of the work upon which the ribs appear purple) in knitted
+brioche stitch; the 11th stitch must have a slipped stitch, with
+the wool thrown forward, therefore it is a purple rib. After this
+stitch begin the gore with the following 13 stitches. The ribs are
+then worked so that a purple one comes over a black one, and a
+black one over a purple one. Do not work upon the following black
+stitch; knit the following stitch with the one formed by throwing
+the wool forward. Throw the wool forward, and then only slip the
+black stitch which had been left, so that it comes behind the
+stitch which has just been knitted. This crossing of the stitch is
+repeated once more, then knit the following stitch together with
+the one formed by throwing the wool forward, throw the wool
+forward, slip the crossed black stitch and the two following single
+black stitches. The slipped stitch and the stitch formed by
+throwing the wool forward before the 3rd single black stitch are
+then knitted together, so that the crossed stitches are placed in
+opposite directions. The three black stitches which are knitted off
+together as 1 stitch in the next row form the middle line of the
+front gore, and are continued in a straight line to the point of
+the gore. The crossing takes place twice in this row, but now the
+black stitch is slipped first. After the 24th stitch knit together
+the following stitch with the stitch formed by throwing the wool
+forward. Then continue to work in common brioche stitch to the
+other front part, where the gore begins before the 24th stitch from
+the end. In the next row, which is worked in purled brioche stitch
+with black wool, take up the black loop between two purple ribs
+after the 11th stitch; purl it so as to form the stitch <span
+class="newpage"><a name="page_335" id="page_335">[335]</a></span>
+which is missing at that place. The 3 slipped stitches in the
+preceding row are purled together as one stitch with the stitch
+formed by throwing the wool forward between the ribs. The loop is
+also taken up on the other side of the front gore in the same
+manner, as well as on the other front part. Then work 6 rows
+without increasing or decreasing. The crossing of the stitch is
+repeated after every 7 rows, always on the knitted brioche stitch
+side, with purple wool. In the 18th row of the gore the 3 middle
+stitches are not knitted together, but separately, so that the
+pattern must be decreased in 26 rows. In the back 30 stitches only
+must be decreased, two in every 6th row. After the 60th row another
+decreasing takes place on the outer edges of the front parts for
+the neck; they decrease 2 stitches (1st rib) after the 5th stitch
+from the front edge in every 3rd row. The 5 stitches which close to
+the neck are cast off together with the 5 stitches on the
+shoulders. Then cast off loosely the stitches of the back; take all
+the selvedge stitches of the front on the needles, and knit 24 rows
+of brioche stitch with black wool, making 9 button-holes on the
+right front part. On the wrong side of this part sew on a strip of
+black silk, with slits worked round in button-hole stitch,
+stitching at the same time into the knitting. The following
+scallops are knitted round the top of the jacket and round the
+armholes with black wool:--Take the selvedge stitches on the
+needles, work 4 rows alternately, 1 stitch knitted, 1 stitch
+purled, thread the wool into a Berlin wool-work needle, * cast off
+3 stitches together, draw the wool through the needle, and take the
+2 following stitches on the wool in the worsted-needle; repeat from
+*. Sew on the buttons the strips of silk elastic on either side of
+the black stripe at the bottom, and fasten the ends of the latter
+with the steel buckle.</p>

+stitch at the beginning and at the end of the 84th and 85th rows;

+two decreasings. The number of stitches between the decreasings
+decreases with every round, so that the decreasings form slanting
+lines meeting in a point. Cast off after these 8 rounds, by
+knitting together 2 opposite stitches on the wrong side. The sock
+part is edged with a raised red border, which is worked by taking
+all the red stitches of the 1st round of the shoe on the needle and
+knitting 4 rounds, so as to leave the purled side of the stitch

+cotton; thick steel pins.</p>
+
+<p>Cast on a sufficient number of stitches for the length of the
+border, which must be able to be divided by 31; knit 4 plain
+rows:</p>
+
+<p><em>5th row:</em> Alternately make 1, knit 2 together.</p>

+
+<center><a name="image_327"><img alt=

+"images/image327.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>Now begin the pattern:--</p>
+
+<p><em>1st row:</em> * Make 1, knit 1 <em>slantways</em> (to knit a
+stitch slantways, insert the needle from the front to the back and
+from right to left); # purl 5; knit 1 slantways. Repeat from # 4
+times more than from * to the end of the row. <span class=

+knit 1 slantways. Repeat from # four times more. Repeat from * to
+the end of the row.</p>
+
+<p><em>4th row:</em> The same as the second.</p>
+
+<p>The continuation of the work is clearly shown in our
+illustration. The increasing caused by knitting the <em>made</em>
+stitches is regularly repeated in each second row, so that the
+stitches between the striped divisions increase, and form large
+triangles; the striped divisions, on the other hand, are narrowed
+so as to form the point of the triangles. To obtain this result,
+decrease five times in the 6th, 12th, 18th, and 24th rows, by
+purling together the two last stitches of one purled division, so
+that each division has but eleven stitches left in the 25th row. In
+the 28th row knit together one purled stitch with one knitted
+slantways, so that there will be only 6 stitches left for each
+division; these stitches are knitted slantways in the 29th and 30th
+rows. In the 31st row they are knitted together, two and two. There
+remain in each division three more stitches, which are knitted
+together in the 34th row. Two rows entirely purled complete the
+upper edge of the border.</p>

+rows on them. Then work a second button-hole like the first one;
+knit 6 more rows plain, increasing 1 at the end of every row, so
+that the number of stitches at the end of the lappet is 20.</p>
+
+<p>Then begin the pattern in brioche stitch; it is worked as
+follows:--Knit first 1 row, then slip the first stitch of the first
+following pattern row, * throw the cotton forward, slip the next
+stitch (slip the stitches always as if you were going to purl

+knit 6 rows plain, decreasing 1 at the end of every row, then work
+each lappet separately, dividing the stitches so that each lappet
+is 7 stitches wide. Each lappet has 72 rows; after the first 18
+rows make a button-hole as described for the preceding one. Work 18

+<p>This cushion (15 inches wide, 12 inches high) is made of grey
+calico; it is covered on one side with knitting, worked with grey
+crochet cotton. <span class="newpage"><a name="page_360" id=

+pattern, worked backwards and forwards on a number of stitches
+which can be divided by 2, and which must suit the width of the
+cushion, in the following manner:--</p>
+
+<p><em>1st row:</em> Alternately throw the cotton forward, knit 2
+together.</p>
+
+<p><em>2nd row:</em> Slip 1, knit the other stitches. The stitch
+formed by throwing the cotton forward is knitted as 1 stitch.</p>
+
+<p><em>3rd row:</em> Knit 1, * throw the cotton forward, knit 2
+together. Repeat from *; after the last decreasing knit 1.</p>
+
+<p><em>4th row:</em> Like the 2nd row.</p>
+
+<p>These four rows are repeated till the cover is sufficiently
+large. Draw a narrow piece of red worsted braid through every other
+open-work row of the pattern, as can be seen in illustration 341.
+When the cushion has been covered with the knitting, it is edged
+all round with a border knitted the long way, in the
+above-mentioned open-work pattern; it is 14 rows wide, and also
+trimmed with worsted braid; a fringe of grey cotton and red wool, 3
+1/4 inches wide, is sewn on underneath the border at the bottom of
+the cushion; to this is added a thick red worsted cord, by which
+the cushion is hung on over the back of an arm-chair. The <span
+class="newpage"><a name="page_361" id="page_361">[361]</a></span>
+cushion, on account of its simplicity, is especially suitable for
+garden chairs.</p>

+cotton. Then count 43 stitches for the front border, and 24
+stitches for the back border, and leave them for the edge of the
+cap. On the remaining stitches on each side work the strings in 95
+rows backwards and forwards on the same number of stitches; each
+string is pointed off at the lower end by decreasing 1 stitch in
+every row. Sew in a narrow piece of tape in the back border of the

+is edged with a lace; a <span class="newpage"><a name="page_364"
+id="page_364">[364]</a></span> similar lace covers the seam between
+both parts of the cap. The pattern is worked with crochet cotton
+over a mesh measuring three-quarters of an inch round. Begin each
+half in the corner; cast on 2 stitches, and work backwards and
+forwards, increasing 1 stitch at the end of every row, till the
+number of stitches is 60. Then sew both halves together, and trim
+the cap and strings (the latter are worked as on the cap No. 343)
+with the following lace: work 2 rows of open-work treble
+stitches--the treble stitches are divided by 1 chain--then work 1
+row of double, always working 4 double round the chain stitches
+which divide 2 treble in the preceding row, or with netted edging
+No. 311.</p>

+
+<p>This shawl is knitted in the patterns given on Nos. 346 and 347.
+Both illustrations show the patterns worked in coarse wool, so as
+to be clearer. Begin the shawl, which is square, on one side, cast
+on a sufficient number of stitches (on our pattern 290); the
+needles must not be too fine, as the work should be loose and
+elastic.</p>
+
+<p>Knit first 2 rows plain, then 3 of the open-work row of pattern
+No. 346, which is worked in the following manner:--</p>
+
+<p>1st row: Slip the first stitch, * knit 2 together, inserting the
+needle into the back part of the stitch, slip 1, knit 2 together,
+throw the wool twice forward; repeat from *.</p>
+
+<p>2nd row: Knit 1 and purl 1 in the stitch formed by throwing the
+wool forward in the preceding row; the other stitches are purled.
+In the next row the holes are alternated--that is, after the 1st
+slipped stitch knit 1, throw the wool forward, and then knit twice
+2 together.</p>
+
+<p>When 3 such open-work rows are completed, knit 1 row plain, and
+then <span class="newpage"><a name="page_367" id=
+"page_367">[367]</a></span> work the pattern seen on No. 347, which
+forms the ground, and is worked in the following way:--1st row:
+Slip the 1st stitch, alternately throw the wool forward, and
+decrease by slipping 1 stitch, knitting the next, and drawing the
+slip stitch over the knitted one.</p>
+
+<p>2nd row, entirely purled.</p>
+
+<p>When 6 such rows have been worked in this pattern, work again 9
+rows of the open-work pattern, but work on each side of the 2
+stripes, each 6 stitches wide, in the pattern of the ground (No.
+347); each first stripe is at a distance of 4 stitches from the
+edge, and each second stripe at a distance of 20 stitches. After
+the 9th open-work row, work again 6 rows in the pattern of the
+ground, then again 8 open-work rows, and then begin the ground,
+only continue to work on both sides of the shawl the narrow stripes
+of the ground pattern, the narrow outer and the two wide inner
+stripes of the border in the open-work pattern. When the ground
+(pattern No. 347) is square, finish the shawl at the top with two
+wide <span class="newpage"><a name="page_368" id=
+"page_368">[368]</a></span> and one narrow open-work row, as at the
+bottom, divided by stripes in the ground pattern. Knot in, all
+round the shawl, a fringe of scarlet wool; the fringe must be 3-1/2
+inches deep.</p>

+<p>The highly-ornate initial of this name is not difficult to work,

+is executed in plain satin stitch, a few eyelet-holes being
+introduced.</p>
+
+<p>"Amalie" can easily be altered into "Amelia" by changing the
+place of the <em>a</em> and <em>e</em>. In the centre of each
+letter a large eyelet-hole is placed; smaller eyelet-holes of
+graduated sizes occupy parts of the overcast scrolls, which should
+be worked with No. 20 cotton. The initial letter is worked in
+raised satin stitch.</p>

+work in button-hole to the centre of a quarter of the circle; make
+a dot by inserting a pin in the next button-hole and working three
+stitches in the loop thus formed by the pin. These dots may be

+
+<p>Lace is of two kinds--pillow lace, which is made upon a cushion
+or pillow, and point lace, which is made of stitches or
+<em>points</em> worked in patterns by hand, which are joined by
+various stitches forming a groundwork, also the result of the
+needle above.</p>
+
+<p>Pillow lace is entirely worked on the pillow or cushion, the
+pattern and ground being produced at the same time. Pillow lace is
+sometimes correctly called bone or bobbin lace, but it appears that
+the distinction has never been very nicely observed either by
+lace-workers or lace-traders, many sorts which are really pillow
+lace being called point, on account of some peculiarity in the
+stitch or pattern</p>
+
+<p>The requisites for producing lace in perfection are the
+dexterity and taste of the workers, and the goodness of the
+material. To produce many beautiful fabrics a mechanical dexterity
+alone suffices, but in lace-making the worker must have some
+artistic talent, even when supplied with designs, for any one can
+perceive that deviations from the design are easily made, and that
+the slightest alteration by a worker wanting in taste will spoil
+the whole piece of workmanship</p>
+
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_446" id=

+
+<p>The following illustrations are specimens of ancient and modern

+<p>No. 419 shows Dalecarlian lace, made by the women of Dalecarlia.
+This is a coarse kind of lace, and is sewn on caps, &amp;c., and,

+its coffee-coloured tint, which, it appears, is as much prized now
+by the Swedish rustics as it was by English ladies in the last

+application of Honiton sprigs upon bobbin net has been of late
+years almost superseded by this modern guipure. The sprigs, when
+made, are sewn upon a piece of blue paper and united on the pillow
+with "cutworks" or "purlings," or else joined with the needle by
+various stitches--lacet, point, r&eacute;seau, cutwork,
+button-hole, and purling.</p>

+<h2>POINT LACE INSRUCTIONS.</h2>
+
+<p>The materials required for this elegant branch of needlework are
+neither numerous nor expensive. TRACING CLOTH, LEATHER, or TOILE
+CIR&Eacute;E, various BRAIDS and CORDS, LINEN THREAD and two or
+three sizes of needles, scissors and thimble. TRACING CLOTH is
+required when ladies copy point lace patterns, and is the most
+convenient mode of taking them, as the design can be worked upon
+the tracing cloth, which, though transparent, is very strong; the
+price is 1s. 6d. per yard. Fine LEATHER is the material upon which
+bought patterns are usually traced, and is decidedly more pleasant
+to work on than is any other material. In selecting <span class=
+"newpage"><a name="page_452" id="page_452">[452]</a></span>
+patterns ladies should choose those traced upon green leather in
+preference to scarlet or buff, as green is better for the eyesight
+than any other colour.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_425"><img alt="Point Lace Scissors." src=
+"images/image425.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>TOILE CIR&Eacute;E is only a substitute for leather, and is not
+as pleasant to work upon in warm weather.</p>
+
+<p>The needles employed are usually Messrs. Walker's needles, Nos.
+9 and 10. The scissors should be small, sharp, and pointed, as in
+illustration No. 425. An ivory thimble may be safely employed in
+this light work.</p>
+

+"images/image431.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>The BRAIDS are of various widths and kinds. None but pure linen
+braid should be employed; those with machine-made edgings are
+eschewed by many lace-workers, the plain, loose-woven linen braid
+of various widths and qualities being alone acceptable to
+experienced hands.</p>
+
+<p>But all ladies do not care to be at the trouble of edging the
+braid, and will find Nos. 426, 428, 430, and 431 very useful. No.
+429 is a plain linen braid with a vandyked edge, which works out
+very prettily. No. 431 is an edged braid with open holes, in
+imitation of the point lace work of the fifteenth century.</p>
+
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_453" id=
+"page_453">[453]</a></span>
+
+<p>Point lace cords resemble the satin stitch embroidery in their
+close, regular smoothness; the price is 1s. per hank, and they are
+of various thicknesses, from the size of a coarse crochet thread up
+to that of a thick piping cord. These cords are used to ornament
+the braid, and are closely sewn on the braid, following its every
+outline, and serve as <em>beading</em> to the edging, being always
+sewn on the outer edge alone. The finer kinds of this cord are used
+in place of braid where very light work is needed, as in the point
+lace alphabet which forms the frontispiece of this work. Directions
+for laying on the cord when employed as braid are given on page
+500. When used as a finish only, and to impart the raised
+appearance of Venice and Spanish lace, it is fixed on the braid by
+plain, close sewing. The thread used should be Mecklenburg linen
+thread; that of Messrs. Walter Evans and Co. we strongly recommend
+as being of pure linen, washing and wearing well; it is pleasant to
+work with, from the regularity and evenness of the make. The
+numbers run thus:--2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36,
+and 40--and will be found adapted for every kind of lace stitch.
+No. 2 is the coarsest, No. 40 the finest, size.</p>
+
+<p>In working point lace the following directions must be attended
+to: Begin at the left hand, and work from left to right, when not
+otherwise directed, as in reverse rows. Before cutting off the
+braid run a few stitches across it to prevent it widening. Joins
+should be avoided, but when a join is indispensable, stitch the
+braid together, open and turn back the ends, and stitch each
+portion down separately. When passing the thread from one part to
+another, run along the centre of the braid, allowing the stitches
+to show as little as possible. In commencing, make a few stitches,
+leaving the end of the thread on the wrong side and <span class=
+"newpage"><a name="page_454" id="page_454">[454]</a></span> cutting
+it off afterwards. In fastening off, make a tight button-hole
+stitch, run on three stitches, bring the needle out at the back,
+and cut off.</p>
+
+<p>Having now completed our list of materials, we can proceed to
+lay on the braid.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_442"><img alt="Mode of Placing the Braid."
+src="images/image442.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>TO PLACE THE BRAID.--No. 442 shows the design traced upon paper
+or tracing cloth, and lightly tacked to a foundation of leather or
+toile cir&eacute;e. Run on a straight line of braid for the lower
+edge, with fine stitches, working as shown from left to right. Take
+another piece of braid, or the other end of the same piece, and
+begin to lay the braid by "running" stitches in its centre, keeping
+it as smooth and even as possible. The outer edge presents no
+difficulty, but the inner edge will not lie evenly without being
+drawn in by a needle and thread, as follows:--Thread a No. 9 needle
+with No. 12 Mecklenburg thread about 20 inches long, fasten the
+thread to one point, and insert the needle in <span class=
+"newpage"><a name="page_455" id="page_455">[455]</a></span> and out
+of the edge of the braid, as if for fine gathering; this thread
+when drawn up will keep the braid in its place. Two or three
+fastening off stitches should be worked when each circle, half
+circle, or rounded curve of a pattern is finished, as the drawing
+or gathering thread remains in the work, and forms an important,
+though unseen, part of its structure.</p>
+
+<p>As much of the beauty of point lace depends upon the manner of
+placing the braid, ladies cannot bestow too much pains upon this
+part of the work, which is a little troublesome to beginners. Many
+fancy shops now undertake this braid-placing for ladies, who can
+have their own pattern braided and commenced or braided alone at
+trifling expense. Among these may be mentioned the following
+houses:--</p>
+
+<p>Goubaud, 30,<br>
+Henrietta-street,<br>
+Covent-garden.<br>
+Boutillier, Oxford-street, W.</p>
+
+<p>The stitches used in point lace may be divided into--</p>

+
+<p>The term point lace, or lace stitches (<em>points</em>), has of
+late been applied to every stitch executed with Mecklenburg thread,
+and many stitches are erroneously named by modern writers. As there
+are more than one hundred stitches employed in this beautiful art,
+much study and opportunity of seeing specimens of old point lace is
+required to give a novice any idea of the various kinds of point
+lace; but by attention to the following stitches the rudiments of
+the art may be easily acquired and very beautiful lace
+produced.</p>
+
+<p>The first stitch is POINT DE BRUXELLES, or Brussels lace stitch.
+This stitch, as may be clearly seen in illustration No. 433, is a
+simple <span class="newpage"><a name="page_456" id=
+"page_456">[456]</a></span> button-hole stitch worked loosely and
+with great regularity. The whole beauty of Brussels lace depends
+upon the evenness of the stitches. This stitch is sometimes
+employed as an edging, but is more often worked in rows backwards
+and forwards, either as a groundwork or to fill spaces, as in the
+point lace collar, No. 496.</p>
+

+
+<center><a name="image_434"><img alt=
+"Point de Bruxelles (Brussels Lace Worked in Rows)." src=
+"images/image434.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>Brussels Point is the foundation of nearly all the lace
+stitches.</p>
+
+<p>POINT DE VENISE (Venetian or Venice Point) is worked from left
+to right, <span class="newpage"><a name="page_457" id=
+"page_457">[457]</a></span> like Brussels point. Work one loose
+button-hole, and in this stitch work four button-hole stitches
+tightly drawn up, then work another loose button-hole stitch, then
+four more tight button-hole stitches in the loose one, repeat to
+the end of the row, and fasten off.</p>

+
+<p>PETIT POINT DE VENISE (Little Venice Point) is worked in the
+same manner as Point de Venise, but one tight stitch only is worked
+in each loose button-hole stitch. This is a most useful stitch for
+filling small spaces.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_437"><img alt=
+"Point d'Espagne (Spanish Point)." src=
+"images/image437.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>No. 437.--POINT D'ESPAGNE (Spanish Point) is worked from left to
+right as follows:--Insert the needle in the edge of the braid,
+keeping the thread turned to the right, bringing it out inside the
+loop formed by <span class="newpage"><a name="page_458" id=
+"page_458">[458]</a></span> the thread (see illustration No. 437);
+the needle must pass from the back of the loop through it. Pass the
+needle under the stitch and bring it out in front, thus twice
+twisting the thread, which produces the cord-like appearance of
+this stitch. At the end of each row fasten to the braid and return
+by sewing back, inserting the needle once in every open stitch.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_438"><img alt=
+"Close Point d'Espagne (Close Spanish Point)." src=
+"images/image438.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>No. 438.--POINT D'ESPAGNE (Close) is worked in the same way as
+open point d'Espagne, but so closely as to only allow the needle to
+pass through in the next row. This stitch is also worked from left
+to right; fasten to the braid at the end of each row, and sew back
+to the left again.</p>
+
+<p>No. 439.--TREBLE POINT D'ESPAGNE is worked in exactly the same
+way as the open and close point d'Espagne, as may be seen in
+illustration No. 439.</p>
+
+<p>Three close stitches, one open, three close to the end of each
+row. Sew back, and in the next row begin one open, three close, one
+open, then close to the end; repeat the rows as far as necessary,
+taking care that <span class="newpage"><a name="page_459" id=
+"page_459">[459]</a></span> the close and open stitches follow in
+regular order. Diamonds, stars, and various patterns may be formed
+with this stitch.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_439"><img alt=
+"Treble Point d'Espagne (Treble Spanish Point)." src=
+"images/image439.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>No. 440.--POINT DE GRECQUE is begun from left to right, is
+worked backwards and forwards, and is begun by one stitch in loose
+point de Bruxelles and three of close point d'Espagne; then one
+Brussels, three point d'Espagne to the end of the row; in returning
+work back in the same manner.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_440"><img alt=

+stitch appears complicated, but is really easy to work. Begin at
+the left hand <span class="newpage"><a name="page_460" id=

+stitches at unequal distance, every alternate stitch being
+larger.</p>
+
+<p><em>2nd row:</em> Upon the first large or long stitch work 9
+close button-hole stitches, then 1 short point de Bruxelles stitch

+narrow spaces <span class="newpage"><a name="page_461" id=

+Point d'Alen&ccedil;on is worked under and over in alternate
+stitches, like hem stitch. Nos. 442 and 443 show point

+or smooth knitting-pins of various sizes, and working over the
+circle thus obtained a succession of close button-hole stitches.
+These wheels are sewn on to the lace when completed. The groundwork
+of Spanish lace is usually worked in what are called Raleigh Bars
+(see page <a href="#page_477">447</a>), but this lace has sometimes
+for groundwork point de Venise. An easy mode of working this
+handsome lace is to trace the design upon very fine good linen;
+raise the thick parts as above directed, and embroider the whole in
+fine thick scalloped button-hole stitch; fill the ground with
+Raleigh bars, or, as shown in illustration No. 455, in treble point

+
+<p>THE SORRENTO WHEEL.--Nos. 456 and 457.--This is worked by
+fastening the thread in the pattern to be filled up by means of the
+letters. Fasten it first at the place <em>a</em>, then at the place
+<em>b</em>, carrying it back to the middle of the first formed bar
+by winding it round, fasten the cotton at the place <em>c</em>,
+carrying it back again to the centre by winding it round the bar,
+and so on; then work over and under the bars thus formed as in
+English lace. See page <a href="#page_462">462</a>, and

+
+<p>No. 458.--ENGLISH WHEEL.--This is worked in the same manner as
+the Sorrento wheel, but instead of <em>winding</em> the thread over
+and under the bars, the needle is inserted under each bar and
+brought out again between the thread and the last stitch; this
+gives a kind of button-hole stitch, and gives the square, firm
+appearance possessed by this wheel.</p>

+
+<p>No. 459.--ROSETTE IN POINT D'ANGLETERRE.--This rosette is worked
+in a somewhat similar manner to the wheel above described, the
+difference being that after each stitch passed round and under the
+bars, the thread is passed loosely round in the reverse direction,
+as shown in illustration No. 459, before proceeding to make the
+next stitch.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_459"><img alt=

+
+<p>No. 460 is a rosette or star which is used to fill circles of
+braid, and forms the centre of many modern point lace patterns. It
+is worked upon <span class="newpage"><a name="page_471" id=
+"page_471">[471]</a></span> a pattern traced and pricked in small
+holes at equal distances. Two threads are employed, one coarse
+tracing thread, the other of finer thread. The coarse thread is
+laid on thus:--Pass the needle containing the fine thread, No. 12,
+through one of the pricked holes, over the tracing thread and back
+through the same hole; repeat, following the traced outline until
+the whole of the coarse thread is laid over the outline, then work
+over in tight button-hole stitch with picots or purls, as on the
+Raleigh bars (see page <a href="#page_477">477</a>). This mode of
+laying on tracing or outlining thread is also applied to fine braid
+and to point lace cord, as in the alphabet No. 400 (see page <a

+<p>BARS.</p>
+
+<p>The word <em>Bar</em> is applied to the various stitches used to

+
+<p>DOT or PICOT:--</p>
+
+<p><em>1st Mode:</em> Five tight point de Bruxelles stitches, one

+the <span class="newpage"><a name="page_478" id=
+"page_478">[478]</a></span> thread, as shown in point de Venise
+bars No. 469, draw up, leaving a small open loop as in tatting.
+Work five tight point de Bruxelles and repeat.</p>
+
+<p><em>2nd Mode:</em> Proceed as above, but instead of continuing
+the tight stitches work two or three tight stitches in the loop
+thus formed, and repeat.</p>
+
+<p><em>3rd Mode:</em> Work four tight point de Bruxelles stitches,
+one loose, through which pass the needle point, wind the thread
+three or four times round the point, as shown in illustration No.
+473, press the thumb tightly on this, and draw the needle and
+thread through the twists. This is a quick mode of making the
+picot, and imitates most closely the real Spanish lace.</p>
+
+<p>Illustration No. 473 also shows how this stitch may be applied

+<p>The correct edging of lace is a most important part of this art,

+<p>No. 485--<em>Point Lace Border for Handkerchief.</em></p>
+
+<p>Materials: Fine lace braid or cord; Messrs. Walter Evans and
+Co.'s Mecklenburg thread No. 24.</p>
+
+<p>This border is suited for a handkerchief or for trimming a
+square bodice. The braid is not tacked on by stitches running
+through the centre, as is usual in point lace braids, but sewn on
+by passing a thread from underneath over the braid and out through
+the same hole, as is done by lace-workers with a thick thread; this
+forms the design. The stitches employed in this pattern are Raleigh
+bars, which connect the work; Sorrento edging, which finishes the
+whole outline; English rosettes filling the open spaces. Point lace
+cord may be used for this in place of braid.</p>

+"INSTRUCTIONS_AND_PATTERNS_IN_GUIPURE_D'ART"></a>
+
+<h3>INSTRUCTIONS AND PATTERNS IN GUIPURE D'ART</h3>
+
+<hr>
+<br>
+
+
+<p>Ancient Guipure was a lace made of thin vellum, covered with
+gold, silver, or silk thread, and the word Guipure derives its name
+from the silk when thus twisted round vellum being called by that
+name. In process of time the use of vellum was discontinued, and a
+cotton material replaced it. Guipure lace was called <em>intelle
+&agrave; cartisane</em> in England in the sixteenth century.
+Various modern laces are called Guipure, but the word is
+misapplied, since Guipure lace is that kind only where one thread
+is twisted round another thread or another substance, as in the
+ancient Guipure d'Art.</p>
+
+<p>In every design where lace can be introduced, Guipure d'Art will
+be found useful. It looks particularly well when mounted upon
+quilted silk or satin. The squares, when worked finely, look well
+as toilet-cushions, or, if worked in coarser thread, make admirable
+couvrettes, and as covers for eider-down silk quilts are very
+elegant. Guipure squares should be connected by guipure lace,
+crochet, or tatting, or they may be <span class="newpage"><a name=
+"page_504" id="page_504">[504]</a></span> edged with narrow guipure
+lace and joined at the corners only when placed over coloured silk
+or satin; thus arranged, a sofa-cushion appears in alternate
+squares of plain and lace-covered silk; a ruche of ribbon and fall
+of lace to correspond completes this pretty mounting.</p>
+
+<p>Not one of the least important attractions of Guipure d'Art is
+the speed with which it is worked, and the ease with which fresh
+patterns are designed by skilful workers.</p>
+
+<p>GUIPURE D'ART is an imitation of the celebrated ancient Guipure
+Lace, and is worked in raised and intersected patterns upon a
+square network of linen thread, Mecklenburg thread of various sizes
+being used for this purpose. The needles employed are blunt, and
+have large eyes, to admit the linen thread.</p>
+
+<p>Materials required: One frame of wire covered with silk ribbon;
+one square of Mecklenburg thread net (<em>fillet</em>), either
+coarse or fine; Mecklenburg thread; netting-needles and meshes of
+various sizes.</p>
+
+<p>The netted foundation, or "<em>fillet</em>," upon which this
+elegant work is embroidered, can be made by ladies very easily, and
+at much less cost than when bought ready made.</p>
+
+<p>The square is worked by netting with coarse No. 2 or fine No.10
+thread over a mesh measuring three-quarters of an inch or more, in
+rows backwards and forwards. Begin with 2 stitches, and increase 1
+at the end of every row till you have one more stitch than is
+required for the number of holes. Thus, if a square of 26 holes is
+required, continue to increase up to 27 stitches, then decrease 1
+at the end of every row till 2 stitches only remain. The last 2
+stitches are knotted together without forming a fresh stitch.</p>
+
+<p>The completed foundation is laced upon the frame, taking the
+lacing cotton through the double edge formed by the increased and
+decreased <span class="newpage"><a name="page_505" id=
+"page_505">[505]</a></span> stitches. If the four corners of the
+netting are tied at each corner of the frame before beginning the
+lacing, that operation is greatly facilitated. The netting should
+be laced as tightly as possible, it being far easier to darn on
+than when loose.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_503"><img alt="Frame for Guipure d'Art."
+src="images/image503.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>Ladies who wish to excel in working guipure d'art should
+practise each of the stitches until they attain perfect regularity
+and quickness in their execution. Two or three hours devoted to
+this in the first instance will not be time wasted, as the most
+elaborate pattern will be worked with ease as soon as the stitches
+are mastered.</p>
+
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_506" id=
+"page_506">[506]</a></span>
+
+<p>The Mecklenburg thread of Messrs. Walter Evans and Co., of
+Derby, will be found a better colour than any other, as it closely
+resembles the shade of the ancient guipure lace.</p>
+
+<p>It is sold only in spools of 200 yards each, and the numbers run
+as follow; No. 2, 4, 6, 8, lo, 12, 16, 20; No. 2 being the
+coarsest, and No. 20 the finest.</p>
+
+<p>The principal stitches used in guipure d'art are POINT D'ESPRIT,
+POINT DE TOILE, POINT DE FESTON, POINT DE REPRISE, POINT DE
+BRUXELLES, and WHEELS and STARS. POINT D'ESPRIT is worked with
+finer cotton than the foundation, say No. 10 on a foundation of No.
+6. It consists of a succession of small loops, as will be seen
+clearly in the illustration. The learner should begin from the mark
+* No. 503, and working a row of loops the length required, turn the
+frame and work loops on the opposite half of each square
+intersecting the first worked loops in the centre of each
+intervening bar of netting. A careful examination of Nos. 503 and
+506 will explain this more clearly than is possible in words.</p>

+
+&lt;
+
+
+<p>POINT DE TOILE, or LINEN STITCH, is plain darning under and over
+each thread; this forms a fine close groundwork, and is much used
+in guipure <span class="newpage"><a name="page_507" id=
+"page_507">[507]</a></span> d'art. Care should be taken to keep the
+same number of stitches in each square, both along and across; the
+number of threads shown in illustration No. 504 is 4 only, but 6
+and even 8 are used in many netted foundations in fine
+patterns.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_505"><img alt="Point de Toile." src=
+"images/image505.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<hr>
+<br>
+
+
+<p>POINT DE FESTON is worked by a series of overcast stitches, as
+seen by illustration 506, which clearly shows the manner of
+working. The frame is turned at each stitch, the stitches are taken
+across the squares, and increase in length at the top of the
+square.</p>
+

+

+<br>
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_508" id=
+"page_508">[508]</a></span>
+
+<p>POINT DE REPRISE, or DARNING, is worked by stretching 2 or 3
+threads over 1, or 2, or more squares. The thread is darned over
+and under, and the needle used to arrange the last stitch while
+passing through to form the next. This stitch is very easily
+acquired. It is always worked with coarser thread than the
+foundation; No. 2 thread should be employed for a coarse
+groundwork. No. 510 shows this stitch used to form stars, figures,
+&amp;c.</p>

+
+<p>POINT DE BRUXELLES, as shown on pages 506 and 507, is a kind of
+loose button-hole stitch, and is used for forming various patterns
+and for filling up squares. It also forms "leaves," when the number
+of stitches is decreased each row until the leaf finishes off in a
+point. Nos. 509 and 510 clearly show this stitch.</p>

+threads. It is fastened off on the back of the several wheels.</p>

+
+<p>Materials: Guipure frame netting of 6 holes wide; Mecklenburg
+thread No. 8 or 10; needle No. 7.</p>
+
+<p>For the netted foundation, which is six holes wide, begin at one
+corner with 2 stitches, work 5 rows, at the end of each of which
+increase 1 stitch, continue to work the strip with the same number
+of stitches, alternately decreasing 1 at the end of one row and
+increasing 1 at the end of the next. For decreasing net 2 stitches
+together, for increasing net 2 stitches in the same hole. When the
+strip is sufficiently long, complete it by decreasing in the same
+proportion as the increasing at the beginning. As the pattern is so
+clearly shown in the illustration, it will be very easy to work
+from it. It is worked in point de feston <span class="newpage"><a

+border is in point d'esprit. The insertion is finished on either

+the leaves of the foliage is worked in one hole of the netting;
+they are worked by throwing the cotton three times across the hole,
+and working darning stitch on them. The stem is worked in overcast
+on the thread of the netting. The daisy in the centre is worked
+like the leaves, each leaf taking up one or more holes of the
+netting.</p>

+"Quarter Square in Reticella Work (Enlarged)." src=
+"images/image541.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>This square is worked in the so-called point de Venise, together
+with other squares; it is very pretty for covers, toilet cushions,
+&amp;c. It is <span class="newpage"><a name="page_531" id=
+"page_531">[531]</a></span> worked on coarse or fine linen,
+according to the use you wish to make of it. Prepare a square piece
+of linen, by drawing out long and cross threads, so as to form
+perfect squares. In the pattern No. 540, which is worked on fine
+linen, 28 threads have been drawn out, both the long and cross way;
+8 squares are formed in this way each time that 28 threads have
+been drawn out; leave 7 or 8 threads of the ground, which form the
+framework. Then fasten the piece of linen on card-board, and work
+close <span class="newpage"><a name="page_532" id=
+"page_532">[532]</a></span> button-hole stitch round the inner edge
+Then work with darning stitch over the long and cross threads of
+the ground.</p>
+
+<p>From No. 541, which shows the fourth part of the square 4 times
+larger than full size, it is easy to see how the framework is
+darned. When the latter is entirely darned, work the patterns in
+the different squares in button-hole stitch. The circular and
+serpentine patterns consist of 3 rows of button-hole stitch; the
+patterns which imitate whole rosettes and half rosettes are worked
+in rows of button-hole stitch. For each row the thread must be
+first drawn from one place to the other, as can be seen in
+illustration, and fastened on the framework. The knots in the last
+button-hole stitched row are made by working in each stitch when
+completed, another stitch, and drawing the cotton again through the
+first completed knot. It is easy, however, to work all the patterns
+from No. 541. The dotted lines in the right-hand corner show the
+direction of the patterns which are wanting there. The square is
+edged all round with an open-work hem, which can also be worked
+from No. 541.</p>

+without increasing. Then darn the rosettes, from illustrations,
+with thread in darning stitch, linen stitch, and point d'esprit.
+The edges of the two rosettes are worked round in button-hole
+stitch; in every selvedge stitch work 3 button-hole stitches. These

+
+<p>Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Mecklenburg thread No.
+20, and cotton No. 80.</p>
+
+<p>For working this cover, one part of which is shown in our
+illustration two-thirds of its full size, work first a straight
+strip of netting for the foundation, which must count as many holes
+in width as are required for the width of the covering. The size of
+the holes depends on the size of the knitting-needle or mesh which
+you use. The pattern is worked with cotton No. 80, over a steel
+knitting-needle which measures two-fifths of an inch round. Begin
+the strip in one corner. Cast on 2 stitches, and work in rows
+backwards and forwards, increasing 1 stitch at the end of every
+row, till you have 1 stitch more than the stripe is to have holes
+in width, on our pattern 68 stitches; then work 1 row on the same
+number of stitches, and then increase alternately 1 stitch at the
+end of 1 row, and decrease 1 at the end of the next, till the strip
+is 250 stitches long. The strip is finished off in a straight line
+at the bottom by working a certain number of rows in which the last
+stitch remains untouched. At the beginning of the row do not work 1
+stitch ever the mesh, but only 1 knot in the stitch of the
+preceding row, so that the cotton is drawn on tight. When the strip
+is completed, trace from No. 568 the outlines for the pattern of
+each of the eight parts of the parasol with double thread, in such
+a manner that two parts lie next to each other, but reversed, that
+is, the point of one part must lie next to the wide part of the
+next part. Then work in each part the pattern seen in illustration,
+and afterwards each part round with button-hole stitch, working
+over the double outline. Cut out the different parts, and sew them
+together on the wrong side with close overcast stitch.</p>

+<h2>BERLIN WORK</h2>
+
+<span class="newpage"><a name="page_559" id=
+"page_559">[559]</a></span> <a name="BERLIN_WORK_INSTRUCTIONS"></a>
+<h3>BERLIN WORK INSTRUCTIONS</h3>
+
+<p>Berlin Work includes every kind of stitch which is made upon
+canvas with wool, silk, or beads. The principal stitches used are
+common cross stitch, Gobelin stitch, leviathan stitch, raised or
+velvet stitch, tent stitch, and others. The materials and needle
+must always be carefully chosen of a corresponding size. For common
+cross stitch and raised stitch Penelope canvas must be used; for
+small articles, such as slippers, bags, or borders, single Berlin
+wool is preferable; for larger ones fleecy wool or double Berlin
+wool (the latter, however, is much more expensive). For Gobelin
+stitch and tent stitch undivided canvas (not Penelope) is required.
+Purse silk is often used for the latter; it is more brilliant than
+floss silk or filoselle. Floss silk is generally used for other
+stitches because it covers the thread of the canvas better than
+purse silk; it is, however, often replaced by filoselle, which is a
+much cheaper material. Moss wool is hardly ever used. Before
+beginning to work upon a piece of canvas the raw edges must be
+hemmed or <span class="newpage"><a name="page_560" id=
+"page_560">[560]</a></span> sewn over with wool. Care must be taken
+not to crumple the canvas in the course of the work. It is best to
+roll one end of the canvas upon a round piece of deal while the
+other end is kept down upon the table with a lead cushion. Handsome
+artistic patterns should always be worked in a frame. When you
+undertake to work a large pattern begin in the centre, and complete
+one half before you commence the other. Always work the stitches in
+the same direction, from the top downwards--this is very essential
+to the beauty and regularity of the pattern.</p>
+
+<p>Always begin with the colour which is used the oftenest; those
+colours that lose their dye in working must be put in last. When
+the pattern is finished begin the grounding. The wool must not be
+drawn too tightly, otherwise the threads of the canvas appear. If
+the wool is too coarse for the canvas, one long stitch is to be
+made from left to right as far as the particular colour is to be
+worked, and over this long stitch, cross back in the usual way.</p>
+
+<p>The plainest stitch in Berlin wool work is the common cross
+stitch; illustrations 577 to 584 show varieties of the same.</p>
+
+<p>We now proceed in the following pages to show, by description in
+writing and by most careful illustration, all the stitches which
+are used in Berlin Work. These are numerous, but neither too great
+in number nor too simple or too elaborate in execution for those
+who aspire to become Berlin workers.</p>

+
+<p>ILLUSTRATION 588.--The straight Gobelin stitch is worked over 2
+threads in height with 1 thread between, so that the stitches
+appear more raised; they are worked over thin cord or a thick piece
+of wool.</p>

+
+
+<p>ILLUSTRATION 589.--The raised or velvet stitch is worked over
+small round wooden meshes, and forms small raised loops. Take 2
+similar meshes and as many threaded needles as there are colours in
+the work; make first a slanting stitch, as for the beginning of the
+common cross stitch, but instead of drawing out the needle straight
+under the place where it was inserted, draw it out exactly at the
+same place, so as to form a slanting stitch on the right and on the
+wrong side; then begin to work over 1 mesh; insert the needle above
+it and draw it out in a slanting direction underneath. On the wrong
+side of the work a regular cross stitch is formed. Illustration 589
+shows 2 rows of velvet stitch completed and 2 rows being worked;
+the first of the latter is yet on the mesh, the second being worked
+so as to show the position of the wool upon the mesh. Observe that
+the rows of the velvet stitch are worked upwards, and that 2 meshes
+are necessary, because the lower one must not be drawn out before
+the next row is completed. The loops may be cut open if
+preferred.</p>

+
+<p>ILLUSTRATION 590.--The plaited stitch is worked like the
+herring-bone stitch. Each stitch is worked over 4 threads in height
+and 4 in width. Illustration 590 shows one part of the plaited
+stitch completed, and the place where the needle is to be inserted
+for the next stitch is marked by a dot. For the next stitch the
+needle is carried under the 2 threads below the stitches of the
+preceding row.</p>
+
+<hr>
+<br>
+
+
+<p>ILLUSTRATION 591.--The plush stitch is also worked upwards.
+Begin to work a common cross stitch, then insert the needle through
+the canvas over 2 threads in height and 2 in width, downwards in a
+slanting direction. Do not draw the wool close up, but leave a loop
+hanging down about four-fifths of an inch long, and make 1 more
+common cross stitch to fasten the loop. This stitch can also be
+worked over flat meshes. Work a common cross stitch at the end of
+every row. When the work is completed the loops are cut open and
+clipped, as may be seen from illustration.</p>

+<p>ILLUSTRATIONS 592 to 594.--Three Berlin wool work borders for
+trimming baskets, &amp;c. No. 592.--The 2 outer rows which edge the
+border are worked in long straight cross stitch; each stitch is
+crossed in the centre with a back stitch.</p>
+
+<center><a name="image_592"><img alt="-Berlin Work Border." src=
+"images/image592.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>The grounding consists of 2 rows of vandykes placed opposite
+each other, which are formed of long straight stitches of different
+lengths. The <span class="newpage"><a name="page_570" id=
+"page_570">[570]</a></span> squares in the centre are formed in the
+same way, and are completed in the middle with a knot.</p>
+
+<p>No. 593.--The ground is worked in cross stitch, the raised
+patterns in satin stitch; in the middle of each pattern there is a
+cross stitch. The outer rows are worked in half cross stitch over 2
+threads in height and 4 in width in 2 different shades. No.
+594.--The petals of the flowers are worked over 4 threads in height
+and in width, <span class="newpage"><a name="page_571" id=
+"page_571">[571]</a></span> and consisting of 4 slanting
+stitches.</p>

+
+<center><a name="image_594"><img alt="Berlin Work Border." src=
+"images/image594.jpg"></a></center>
+
+<p>In the centre the flower is completed by a knot; the ground in
+cross stitch is completed on either side by a narrow border of
+scallops, formed of slanting stitches divided in the centre by 1
+slanting stitch. It is easy to work these stitches from
+illustration. The choice of colours depends upon what use the
+border is intended for and upon personal taste.</p>

+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+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
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+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
+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
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@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.

+SAMUEL BUTLER'S PREFACE
+
+
+The Art of Needlework dates from the earliest record of the world's
+history, and has, also, from time immemorial been the support, comfort,
+or employment of women of every rank and age. Day by day, it increases
+its votaries, who enlarge and develop its various branches, so that any
+addition and assistance in teaching or learning Needlework will be
+welcomed by the Daughters of England, "wise of heart," who work
+diligently with their hands.
+
+The recent introduction of Point Lace has brought a finer, and,
+apparently, more difficult class of fancy work into general favour.
+Ladies may now, however, confidently commence, with our patterns before
+them, to reproduce Antique laces; for care and patience, with a
+knowledge of Point Lace stitches, are alone required to perfect the
+beautiful work, which, as shown in existing specimens of exquisite Old
+Lace, constitute the chief glory of women's refined industry in past
+centuries.
+
+INSTRUCTIONS in TATTING, in EMBROIDERY, in CROCHET, in KNITTING and
+NETTING, in BERLIN WOOL WORK, in POINT LACE, and GUIPURE D'ART are
+prefixed to the pages devoted to these separate branches of needlework.
+The whole work is interspersed with coloured and other Patterns in Point
+Lace, Guipure d'Art, Tatting, Embroidery, and Designs for Monograms and
+Initials for marking handkerchiefs and table-linen. The quantity of
+materials required for each class of work is also given with every
+pattern.
+
+The idea of combining a series of minute and exact instructions in fancy
+needlework with useful patterns was conceived some years ago by one
+whose life was devoted to the inculcation of the practical duties of
+woman's life, and to assisting her sex in their daily work of HOUSEHOLD
+MANAGEMENT and REFINEMENT.
+
+Her great wish was that her BOOK OF NEEDLEWORK should be as valuable in
+its way to her Countrywomen as her work upon Household Management was
+useful in showing the best mode of providing for the diurnal wants of
+families. Other hands have brought to a conclusion her original plans.
+The best attainable workers have contributed to this volume. Only those
+who knew the extent of the late Mrs. Beeton's design, will miss, in the
+pages now before them, "the touch of a vanished hand."

+[Illustration: Tatting Shuttle.]
+
+The needlework called Tatting in England, _Frivolite_ in French, and
+_Frivolitaeten_ in German, is a work which seems, from all accounts, to
+have been in favour several generations ago. Modern ingenuity has
+discovered some ways of improving on the original plan of tatting, which
+was, indeed, rather a primitive sort of business as first practised. To
+Mrs. Mee, one of our most accomplished _artistes_ in all matters
+connected with the work-table, belongs, we believe, the introduction of
+the plan of working from the reel instead of the shuttle. By this
+alteration the advantage of the shuttle being constantly kept filled
+with cotton was gained, and the necessity also obviated for frequently
+joining the thread; and to Mdlle. Riego, equally distinguished in all
+details appertaining to the employment of the needle, ladies are
+indebted for an arrangement by which the same thread used in the making
+of the pattern is used for fastening the work. The old plan only
+provided for the working of the different portions which constituted the
+pattern, and then these portions had to be sewn together with a needle
+and thread. The ingenious workers on the Continent have also given much
+attention of late to the art of tatting, and our instructions now
+printed comprise what we consider the best mode of learning and doing
+this exceedingly interesting and fashionable work.
+
+[Illustration: Tatting Pin.]
+
+Tatting differs entirely from crochet, and is composed of stitches
+forming _knots_. It is intended as an imitation of point lace, and is
+especially used for trimming under-linen, on account of its strength.
+
+To make the stitches or knots a small instrument is used, called a
+_shuttle_. This shuttle consists of two oval pieces, flat on one side
+and convex on the other, and is made of wood or ivory.
+
+The two oval pieces are joined together by a strong cross-piece. The
+illustration shows the construction of the shuttle. These shuttles are
+made in ivory, pearl, tortoiseshell inlaid with pearl, and silver; they
+are also manufactured in coloured bone, black, red, and white. The best
+to work with are the pearl for a white shuttle, and the inlaid
+tortoiseshell for a black shuttle; the prices vary from sixpence to one
+shilling and two-and-sixpence each. In selecting a shuttle be careful to
+see that the ends close, as if dropped it soon becomes unthreaded, which
+is very inconvenient. The cotton intended for the work is wound round
+this shuttle, and the thickness of the cotton varies according to the
+style of work. It is better to use the proper tatting cotton, because it
+is stronger than the ordinary kinds; this is manufactured by Messrs.
+Walter Evans and Co. for the purpose. Their Boar's Head Cotton is also
+frequently used, and answers very well.
+
+
+_Shuttles._
+
+These are made in 3 sizes:--Finest, No. 1; No. 2, useful medium size;
+No. 3, the largest.
+
+
+_The Way to Hold the Hands._
+
+Take the shuttle in the right hand, between the thumb and second finger,
+and allow the forefinger to remain at liberty, and rest the under part
+of the shuttle _between_ the second and third and _on_ the middle
+finger. Place the thread round the three middle fingers of the left
+hand, so as to form a loop, keeping the second and third fingers a
+little apart, and bring the cotton again between the thumb and
+forefinger, letting the end fall within the palm of the hand, while the
+end of cotton which holds on to the shuttle passes over the thumb-nail.
+
+
+_To Make a Stitch._
+
+Keep the hands in the position above described; pass the shuttle at the
+back, through the loop--that is, between the second and third fingers.
+Take the end of the shuttle which comes out from the loop between the
+forefinger and thumb of the right hand, and strain the cotton very
+tightly towards the right. When the cotton is drawn through the loop,
+this cotton must not be impeded by the fourth finger; it should, on the
+contrary, slide over it, and be drawn tight. It should divide the loop
+into two parts. After this withdraw the second left-hand finger, which
+is _above_ the cotton, and pass it again under that cotton, so as to
+draw up the loop. A _half-stitch_ is thus formed, and must be tightened
+by being drawn closely to the forefinger and thumb of the left hand. For
+the remaining half of the stitch keep the hands in the same position,
+but, instead of letting the cotton fall over the thumb, pass this cotton
+over the back of the hand; then let the shuttle fall between the second
+and third fingers of the left hand, in front, and take it out again at
+the back, strain the cotton very tightly, withdraw the second finger
+from the loop, letting the cotton which is behind the hand sweep over
+the fingers. When this is done, guide with the unoccupied fingers of the
+left hand this second half-stitch up to the other, thus completing _one
+stitch_.
+
+
+_The Way to Make a Loop in Tatting._
+
+When a certain number of stitches are made, very tightly draw in the
+loop by straining the cotton until the first stitch touches the last,
+and thus a loop is formed. During this process the stitches should be
+held tightly between the forefinger and thumb.
+
+
+_The Way to Make a Purl._
+
+A _purl_ is a small loop of cotton often used as an edging in tatting,
+as, for instance, round the outer edge of the ovals in tatted insertion
+No. 2. The following is the easiest method of making a purl:--The
+stitches are not made quite closely together at the place where a purl
+is to be made; about one-sixth of an inch is left between each. This
+space is left free until the loop is made by uniting the stitches; then
+the small piece of cotton in the space bulges out between the stitches,
+and forms the purl. If several are required a small space is left
+between every two or three stitches, according to the desired number.
+Care must be taken in that case that the small pieces of cotton left be
+all of the same length, so that the purl may be perfectly even. The purl
+can also be made thus: At the same time with the end of thread take the
+tatting-pin or a very large darning needle or knitting needle in the
+left hand, so that the point may come out farther than the row of
+stitches; if then you wish to make a purl, throw the cotton on the pin
+before making the stitch; then fasten this stitch, and push it at once
+close to the preceding; the pin with the cotton should come above the
+stitches. Do not take out the pin before all the purl and all the
+stitches are completed and joined together.
+
+
+_Joining the Work._
+
+Place the tatting-pin in the loop that is to be joined, and with the
+hook draw the thread of the loop--that is, round the hand through
+it--pass the shuttle through this loop, and draw it up tightly close to
+the stitches.
+
+A "straight" or double thread is used to join various parts of the work,
+and forms very beautiful patterns. Without the straight thread we
+should be unable to imitate point lace patterns, or, indeed, to execute
+any designs but those composed of circles, ovals, &c. To use this
+straight thread 2 shuttles are required; they should be of different
+colours. Sometimes one end of thread is left attached to the reel
+instead of using the second shuttle. In commencing a loop the straight
+thread is held between the second and third fingers of the left hand,
+about 2 or 3 inches from the work; the other shuttle is held as usual in
+the right hand, and the stitches and purls worked with it upon the
+foundation of the straight thread of the second shuttle.

+[Illustration: 10.--Insertion worked in Tatting.]
+
+This strip of insertion is worked with two cottons. Work with the cotton
+in the left hand over that in the right hand. Both ends of cotton are
+fastened together at the beginning by a knot. First work one half of the
+insertion the long way in the following manner:--1 plain, 1 purl, 1
+plain (the purl must be very short); turn the purl downwards, 6 double,
+1 purl, * 6 double, 1 purl, 1 plain, which must all be turned upwards;
+then turn the work so that the upper edge is turned downwards; work 6
+double, fastened on to the last purl turned downwards (the fastening of
+the stitches is made with the thread in the right hand); a loop turned

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 40, or
+crochet cotton No. 20; tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+[Illustration: 11.--Tatted Insertion.]
+
+This insertion consists of 2 rows of three-branched patterns which lie
+opposite each other, and are joined by slanting rows of knots. A
+coloured silk ribbon is drawn through these rows which join the
+patterns. Each of the 3 branches of 1 pattern consists of 9 double, 1
+purl, 9 double, and must be worked close to another. When the 3rd branch
+is completed, fasten another piece of cotton on to the middle branch.
+Work 12 double over this 2nd piece of cotton, and then work without the
+2nd piece of cotton a 2nd three-branched pattern like the 1st.* Fasten
+the 2nd piece of cotton on to the middle branch of the just-finished
+pattern, work 12 double over it, then again a three-branched pattern;
+in this pattern as well as in the following ones, instead of working the
+purl of the 1st branch, fasten it on to the purl of the 3rd branch of
+the preceding three-branched pattern of the _same_ row, as can be seen
+in illustration. Repeat till the strip of insertion is sufficiently
+long.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 80;
+tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+[Illustration: 12.--Circle in Tatting.]
+
+Work first 8 ovals, each composed of 5 double stitches, 3 purl divided
+one from the other by 4 double stitches, 5 double stitches; these ovals
+are joined together by the purl at the sides, then the circle is
+tightened as much as possible, and the cotton with which you are working
+is twisted round the ends of cotton that have been cut: the cotton is
+then fastened off nearly underneath.
+
+Begin a fresh small oval, composed of 12 double stitches, which should
+be fastened to the preceding oval after 3 double stitches (to the purl
+in the centre of the first oval), then fasten it again to the purl which
+joins together the first and the second oval; leave a space of about
+one-fourth of an inch, and work an oval composed of 4 double stitches, 5
+purl, followed each by 2 double stitches, 4 double stitches. A very
+little farther off make a very small oval, composed of 8 double
+stitches, which after the four first double stitches is joined to the
+centre purl of the second oval, leaving the same space between as
+before, make another oval of 4 double stitches, 5 purl, each followed by
+2 double stitches, 4 double stitches; but the first purl is _missed_,
+because at this place the oval is joined to the fifth purl of the
+corresponding oval; once more leave a space of one-fourth of an inch,
+and repeat. At the end of the round the two ends of cotton are tied
+tightly together.

+
+This border, edged with beads No. 4, is worked in middling-size purse
+silk over fine silk cord of the same colour as the silk. Before
+beginning to work this pattern, thread the beads which take the place of
+purl stitches, and which are slipped in between two double stitches.
+When the row of stitches is of the length required, form the trefoil
+leaves, and sew a few beads over the places where they are joined. These
+trefoil leaves are made separately, and then sewn together.

+tatting-pin No. 3; any sized shuttle; for a finer insertion No. 18 or
+20.
+
+[Illustration: 14.--Insertion in Tatting.]
+
+1st oval: Fill the shuttle, but do not cut it off from the reel, as a
+double thread is used, and commence by working 10 double stitches, 1
+purl, 10 double, draw up.
+
+Double thread: Putting the thread attached to
+the reel round the left hand, work 8 double, 1 purl, 8 double.
+
+2nd oval: 10 double, join to purl of 1st oval, 10 double, draw up.
+Repeat till the length required is worked, then cut off.
+
+For the fresh length, which will make the other half of the insertion,
+the shuttle must still be attached to the reel. Commence by working--
+
+1st oval: 10 double, join to the purl which connects the first and
+second ovals of the piece already worked, 10 double, draw up. Double
+thread: 8 double, 1 purl, 8 double.
+
+2nd oval: 10 double, join to the same purl as last--namely, the one
+connecting the first and second ovals of the piece already worked, 10
+double, draw up. Repeat, joining the two next ovals to the purl which
+connects the two next in the piece already worked, and so on.
+
+Crochet a heading each side, working 7 chain, 1 double into the purl of
+double thread, repeat. With a heading on one side only, this makes a
+pretty wide edging.

+crochet cotton No. 80; tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+[Illustration: 15.--Border in Tatting and Crochet.]
+
+This lace is rendered stronger by the crochet rows of scallops and
+treble stitch round the edge. Begin with the tatting as follows: Make a
+circle of 8 double, 7 purl divided by 2 double, 8 double. This circle is
+repeated at a distance of about three-fourths of an inch, only instead
+of the 1st purl each following circle must be fastened on to the last
+purl of the preceding circle. Then take some crochet cotton, which must
+be finer than the cotton used for tatting, and work a row of double
+stitches over the thread which joins the circles. The number of stitches
+depends on the length and size of the cotton; work double stitches round
+the circles at the place where both ends meet. The outer row consists of
+treble stitches, which are worked with 1 chain stitch between, missing 1
+stitch under each chain. The scallops consist of the two following
+rows:--1 double, with which the last and first purl of 2 circles are
+joined, 4 chain; in each of the other purl, 1 double, 4 chain, between 2
+double stitches.
+
+2nd row: 1 double in each chain stitch scallop, 1 double, 3 long double,
+1 double.

+
+The patterns Nos. 18 and 19 are meant for ornamenting the veil No. 16.
+They are sewn upon the net at regular distances.
+
+For working the pattern No. 18, make with black silk or white cotton 6
+times alternately 2 double, 1 purl, at the end 1 purl, then join the
+stitch into a circle, *fasten the silk on to the next purl. Then 1 spot
+or Josephine knot, consisting of 6 plain stitches, carry the shuttle
+downwards through the loop, and draw the stitches close together; repeat
+3 times more from *. Fasten the silk on to the next purl, and work a
+circle as follows:--8 times 2 double, divided by 1 purl; fasten the silk
+on to the next purl, work again 1 spot, after which the silk is
+fastened, then work 2 more similar circles divided by 1 spot; they are
+fastened on to the last purl of the preceding circle instead of the 1st
+purl. Fasten off the silk after the last circle.
+
+For No. 19 work 25 double, divided by 1 purl, join the stitches into a
+circle, knot the beginning and the end of the cotton together, cut off
+the ends at a short distance. Then work a smaller circle, consisting of
+8 double, divided by 1 purl; at the place of the 1st purl fasten the
+cotton at a short distance on to the 2nd purl of the large circle. The
+ends of this circle are knotted together and cut off in the same way.
+Then work a circle consisting of 11 double, fasten the silk on to the
+20th purl of the large circle, work 5 double, and join the stitches into
+a circle. Then take the ends of the 3 circles, and work close fine
+stitches with silk round them, so as to form the stem. The completed
+pattern is sewn upon the net.

+
+20.--DIAMOND PATTERN.--Work, not far one from the other, four leaves,
+each composed of 5 double stitches, 7 rather long purl divided one from
+the other by 2 double stitches, 5 double stitches. Instead of making the
+1st purl in each of the 3 next leaves, fasten the cotton to the last
+leaf of preceding leaf. Fasten off and cut the cotton; begin a fresh
+circle by 2 double stitches, 7 purl divided by 2 double stitches, 2 more
+double stitches; fasten the cotton to the centre purl of one of the four
+leaves, and work a very small circle thus:--2 double stitches, fasten
+the cotton to the last purl of the first circle, 3 double stitches, 1
+purl, 2 double stitches; fasten the cotton * to the 6th purl of the
+leaf; work a larger circle thus:--2 double stitches fastened to the purl
+of the small circle, 2 double stitches, 4 purl divided by 2 double
+stitches, 2 more double stitches; fasten the cotton not far off to the
+second purl of the second leaf; work another small circle similar to
+that above-described; fasten the cotton to the third purl of the second
+leaf, then to the fourth purl of the same leaf, and repeat from * three
+times more, always fastening the first purl of the first circle you are

+last purl of the preceding circle, 5 times 2 double divided by 1 purl, 1
+purl, 5 double; a third circle as follows:--5 double fastened on to the
+last purl of the preceding circle, 3 times 2 double divided by 1 purl,
+1 purl, 5 double; the cotton is fastened a short distance further on to
+the second purl of the first worked small circle, which must be turned
+downwards; then turn the work so that the three circles which are joined
+together are turned downwards. Work another small circle as follows at
+the distance of two-fifths of an inch:--4 double, 1 purl, 4 double,
+leave again an interval of about two-fifths of an inch, and repeat from
+* till the lace is long enough; but in working the following figures,
+consisting of three circles, the 1st circle must be fastened on to the

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 80;
+tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+[Illustration: 23.--Insertion in Tatting and Lace Stitch.]
+
+This insertion forms a very pretty standing-up collar when worked with
+fine cotton and a coloured ribbon drawn through. It consists of 2 rows
+of 3 branched figures turned opposite one another, which are worked
+separately and then joined into a row. Work 9 times as follows:--2
+double, 1 purl, 2 double, * draw into a circle and * work at a short
+distance a 2nd circle as follows:--2 double fastened on to the last purl
+of the 1st circle, 8 times 2 double, 1 purl, 2 double, repeat once more
+from *, knot together the two ends of the cotton, and fasten them on the
+wrong side. One figure is thus completed; each following figure is
+fastened on to the preceding one on the middle purl of a circle (see
+illustration). When a sufficient number of such figures have been
+worked, work a 2nd row of them in the same manner, and fasten from
+illustration each middle circle of one figure on to the corresponding
+circle of the 1st row. The circles filled with lace stitch are worked
+when the 2 rows are completed from illustration in the empty places
+between 4 patterns; work first 3 double, fasten them on to a purl on the
+side of a leaf turned inside, * 3 double, fasten them on to a purl of
+the next leaf, repeat 5 times more from *, work 3 double, join the
+stitches into a circle, but not too close, so that the purls keep their
+natural position; cut off the cotton, and fasten the two ends on the
+wrong side. The lace stitch inside of these circles is worked with fine
+crochet cotton; the pattern may be changed for a single or double wheel.

+tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+Begin by working separately a sufficient number of small rosettes, each
+composed of six ovals of double stitches and purl. These ovals are
+worked first in a straight row, then they are joined into a circle and
+united in the centre by button-hole stitches. The rosettes are joined
+together with fine cotton. The crochet border is then worked on either
+side in chain stitches and treble crochet, as seen in illustration.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 20, or
+crochet cotton No. 1; tatting-pin No. 2.
+
+This illustration shows the centre of a tatted couvrette in full size,
+and measuring 12 inches across. Separate rosettes like the pattern may
+be joined together with smaller ones, and form a very pretty couvrette.
+The pattern is worked in rounds. Begin the rosette with a circle,
+consisting of 4 double, 1 purl, 6 double, 1 purl, 6 double, 1 purl, 4
+double. Take up another shuttle, and work over the cotton on it, fasten
+the end on the last double of the circle and work over it, beginning
+close to the circle, 6 plain, 1 circle like the 1st worked with the 1st
+shuttle, and which is fastened on the last purl of the 1st circle at the
+place of the 1st purl; 6 plain, and continue to work so alternately till
+you have 7 circles divided by 6 plain stitches. Draw up very tightly the
+cotton over which you work, so that the circles form a rosette, which is
+closed by sewing together the two corresponding purl of the first and
+last circle. Both the ends of the cotton over which you have worked are
+knotted together. For the 2nd round, fasten the cotton on one shuttle on
+the middle purl of a circle, work a circle like those of the 1st round,
+take up the 2nd shuttle, and work on exactly as in the 1st round, only
+work 8 plain between the circles over the cotton on the 2nd shuttle. The
+2nd round consists of 15 circles; the cotton with which you work must be
+fastened at the required places on the middle purl of a circle of the
+preceding round. The 3rd and following rounds are worked in the same
+manner; the number of circles must be such as to keep the couvrette
+quite flat. In the pattern the 3rd round has 26 circles. Fasten the
+cotton well after each round.

+This very simple lace consists of scallops which look as if they were
+slightly gathered. It must be worked with tatting cotton. Each scallop
+consists of 5 plain, 1 purl, 5 plain, then alternately 5 purled
+stitches, draw up these stitches till the cotton between the 1st and
+last stitch is two-fifths of an inch long, and work a 2nd similar
+scallop at a short distance from the 1st. But in the following scallops
+fasten each to the last purl of the preceding scallop instead of working
+the 1st purl.

+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 50 or 80;
+tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+[Illustration: 27.--Tatted Lace.]
+
+This pretty lace is worked with fine tatting cotton. Work with 2
+threads; the knots are worked over the cotton, which is held in the
+right hand. Work first the outer scallops of the lace
+
+Fasten both ends of cotton together and make 10 double, divided by 1
+purl, turn the work so as to turn the wrong side upwards, fasten the
+cotton over which you work on to the last purl, go back over the same
+row, miss 1 purl next to the cotton with which you work, 9 double
+divided by 1 purl, fastening the cotton over which you work on the next
+purl of the 1st row after every double stitch. This forms 1 scallop. *
+Turn the work downwards (that is, the purl stitch must be turned
+downwards), make 4 times 2 double, 1 purl, 1 purled stitch: this is the
+straight row between 2 outer scallops of the lace. Then work a scallop
+like the preceding one, fastening it from illustration after the first
+row on the middle one of the 9 outer purl of the preceding scallop, with
+the cotton over which you work; repeat from * till the lace is long
+enough, and fasten the cotton. Knot both ends together again, fasten the
+cotton over which you work on the first purl of the first scallop, make
+9 double, 1 short purl, 1 double, turn so that the upper edge of the row
+is turned downwards, and the scallops upwards, 5 double, fasten the 2
+middle purl of the 4 of the next straight row together by drawing the
+cotton, with which you are working through the 2nd purl, so as to form a
+loop, draw the cotton over which you work through this loop and draw up
+the latter; work 5 double, fasten the cotton over which you work on to
+the short purl worked after 9 double, turn the work so that the outer
+scallops of the lace are turned downwards, 10 double, fasten the cotton
+over which you work on the first purl of the next scallop, repeat from
+*, and fasten the cotton. After having fastened both ends together
+again, turn the work the right side upwards and the outer scallops
+upwards also, fasten the cotton over which you work on to the short purl
+which is under the first loop; * work 4 times 2 double, 1 purl, 2
+double, fasten the cotton over which you work on the purl under the
+next loop, and repeat from * till the lace is completed.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 40;
+tatting-pin No. 3; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s French embroidery
+cotton No. 60; square netting.
+
+[Illustration: 28.--Collar in Tatting and Darned Netting]
+
+The pattern is worked with very fine cotton; the netted grounding over a
+mesh measuring two-fifths of an inch round. The collar is ornamented
+round the outer edge with a tatted lace. Work a straight strip of
+netting for the grounding; begin with 2 stitches, work 18 rows backwards
+and forwards, increasing 1 at the end of each row, so that the last row
+has 19 holes; work 1 row without increasing; then continue to work with
+the same number of stitches, increasing 1 at the end of one row and
+decreasing 1 at the end of the other. When the strip is sufficiently
+long, work 1 row again without increasing or decreasing, and form
+the side by making 18 rows, decreasing 1 stitch at the end of each,
+cast off the 2 last stitches on 1 stitch without forming a new stitch on
+the needle. Trace the outline of the collar on the grounding with thick
+cotton, and begin to darn it from illustration. When the darning is
+completed work the tatted lace with the same cotton, as follows:--6
+double, 1 short purl, alternately, 3 times 3 double, 1 purl, 6 double,
+draw up the stitch so as to form a scallop leaving one-fifth of an inch
+between the first and last stitch; work a second scallop at a short
+distance from the first, and so on; every scallop is fastened on to the
+preceding one after the first 3 double stitches. Work a row of double
+overcast stitch between the darned netting and the tatted lace; work
+this row over the cotton tracing, marking the outline of the collar on
+the grounding and over the cotton between the tatted scallops. Work also
+a row of double overcast round the neck part, gathering in the collar a
+little if necessary. Cut away the netting on the wrong side close to the
+row of overcast stitches.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 40; fine
+mignardise braid.
+
+[Illustration: 29.--Mignardise and Tatting.]
+
+Patterns formed of mignardise and tatting are of quite new style, and
+look very pretty. The insertion is easy to work by the following
+process:--Make first a circle, as follows: 1 plain stitch, 2 double, 1
+purl, 6 double, 1 purl, 2 double, 1 plain; fasten the cotton on to one
+side of the mignardise, at the distance of about five-eighths of an
+inch, by taking 2 loops of it together; work a second circle at a short
+distance from the first, and so on. When the strip of insertion is
+sufficiently long, work in the same manner on the other side of the
+mignardise. This kind of work is destined to become very popular, and
+nothing can be more light and graceful than the union of mignardise and
+tatting.

+The insertion shown in illustration No. 31 is composed in two similar
+halves. Begin the first in the following way:--10 double, 1 purl, 3
+double, 1 purl, 10 double, join the stitches into a circle, and work a
+second similar circle at a distance of one-third of an inch; instead of
+the 1st purl, draw the cotton through the 2nd purl of the first-worked
+circle; leave an interval of one-eighth of an inch, and repeat the two
+rounds till the insertion is sufficiently long. Then tat round the
+pieces of cotton which join the two rounds, work round the longest 10
+double, and round the shortest 4 double, inserting the shuttle
+alternately once upwards and once downwards, but for the rest proceeding
+as in the common button-hole stitch. When the first half is completed,
+work the second in the same way, and fasten it on to the first with the
+purl.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s cotton No. 30.
+
+[Illustration: 32.--Tatting Insertion.]
+
+The pretty effect of the insertion shown in illustration No. 32 is
+obtained by means of longer and shorter purl. Work as follows:--Join 9
+double into a circle, 1 long purl, 3 double, 1 long purl, 4 double *.
+After an interval of five-eighths of an inch, begin the large figure of
+the pattern: 2 double, 1 small purl, 2 double, draw the cotton through
+the last purl of the small circle, 2 double, drawn through the 1st purl
+of the same circle, 2 double, 1 small purl, 2 double, 1 long purl, 2
+double, 1 small purl, 2 double, repeat 6 times more from *, and draw up.
+After an interval of five-eighths of an inch comes another small circle:
+4 double, draw the cotton through the last purl of the large figure, 3
+double, draw the cotton through the next long purl of the same figure, 2
+double, 1 long purl, 3 double, 1 long purl, 4 double. Repeat the pattern
+for the length of insertion required. The threads which join the small
+circles are worked over with 7 double in the manner described above,
+only the cotton at the principal figure must be left loose the width of
+a straw, so as to imitate a long purl. Complete the insertion from
+illustration by tatting round the small circles of 16 double on the
+other side (but in the contrary direction), form no purl, but draw the
+cotton through the long purl of the large figure; the threads which join
+the 2 circles are likewise drawn through the middle long purl of the
+large figure; this thread is then tatted over with 7 double, like the
+opposite outer edge.

+
+The square is composed first of nine 4-branched patterns, worked in 3
+rows of 3 patterns each, and joined on one to the other with purl. Each
+pattern consists of 4 branches close to each other, and each branch
+consists of 7 double, 1 purl, 7 double; when the 4 branches of one
+pattern are completed, cut off the cotton, and fasten both ends
+together so as to form a small circle in the centre. Then work a second
+pattern, which is fastened on to the first and second branches of the
+first pattern, instead of working the purl stitch; work a third pattern,
+which is fastened in the same manner on to the second pattern. Then work
+2 more rows exactly the same as can be seen in illustration.

+tatting-pin No. 2.
+
+[Illustration: 36.--Diamond in Tatting.]
+
+This diamond is suitable for trimming collars, cuffs, &c., when worked
+with fine cotton. Work first the four corner patterns separately, as
+follows:--7 double, 3 purl divided by 3 double, 6 double, join the
+stitches into a circle, work close to this circle a second one
+consisting of 6 double fastened on the last purl of the 1st circle, 4
+double, 2 purl divided by 4 double, 6 double; then a 3rd circle
+consisting of 6 double fastened on the last purl of the preceding
+circle, 3 double, 2 purl divided by 3 double, 7 double. Take a second
+shuttle, fasten the cotton on the end of the cotton of the 1st circle,
+throw the cotton of the 1st shuttle over the fingers of the left hand,
+and work with this cotton over the cotton on the other shuttle in the
+right hand. Work 5 double, and then one circle as follows with the
+cotton in the left hand only:--8 double fastened on the last purl of the
+3rd of the 3 circles worked close to each other, 5 double, 1 purl, 5
+double, 1 purl, 4 double, 1 purl, 6 double, then again over the cotton
+on the other shuttle, 5 double, 4 purl divided by 5 double, 5 double,
+then with one shuttle only one circle as follows:--6 double, 1 purl, 4
+double, 1 purl, 5 double, 1 purl, 5 double fastened on 1st purl of the
+circle worked at the beginning, 8 double; then again with two shuttles 5
+double. Fasten the cotton on the piece of cotton before the 5 double
+worked with two shuttles, so that the stitches worked over two shuttles
+form a circle, and cut off the cotton. When three of these patterns have
+been worked, work the centre pattern of the square. It consists of 4
+leaves touching each other at the lower points; each leaf is formed of 3
+double, 5 purl divided by 3 double, 3 double; each following leaf is
+fastened on to the preceding one at the place of the 1st purl. Then work
+first 1 round of the oval circles of the square, with which the corner
+patterns are joined. Fasten the cotton on one purl of one corner
+pattern, make 7 double, 1 purl, 8 double; fasten on the corresponding
+purl of another corner pattern, work 8 double, 1 purl, 7 double, join
+the stitches into a circle, fasten the cotton on to the same purl to
+which the cotton has already been fastened, carry the latter on to the
+next purl of the same corner pattern, fasten it, then work three more
+circles like the first, which are fastened on to each preceding circle,
+at the place of the first purl; fasten the cotton on the two cross purl
+of the centre pattern, and work four similar circles on the other side
+of the same. The 8 circles which go across the square in the opposite
+direction are worked in the same manner. When the square is completed,
+draw two threads on each side of each corner pattern on to the other
+side of the square along the cotton which joins the circles together.

+[Illustration: 37.--Tatting for Cap Crown.]
+
+This pattern is very pretty for the crown of a cap like the one
+described on page 36, and also for covers, toilet cushions, &c. The size
+of the cotton depends upon the use you wish to make of the pattern. The
+pattern is worked with fine tatting cotton. It consists of
+eight-branched rosettes joined together with small circles. Each rosette
+is worked as follows: Work 8 loops or branches close to each other,
+consisting of 7 double, 1 purl, 7 double; fasten both ends of the
+cotton together, and cut them off. Each of the small circles which joins
+the rosettes together consists of 2 double, 8 purl divided by 2 double.
+It is easy to see from the illustration how the patterns are joined
+together by means of the purl stitches.

+
+No. 39.--Border for Cap.--The upper part of the border consists of 4
+rows of circles worked at a distance of three-fifths of an inch from
+each other. The circles of the 1st row consist of 3 double, 3 purl
+divided by 3 double, 3 double. In the following 3 rows each circle is
+fastened on to the cotton, which joins 2 circles in the 1st row, instead
+of working the middle purl, the cotton between 2 circles in the last row
+must only be two-fifths of an inch long. Then work a certain number of
+six-branched rosettes, each branch consisting of 9 double, 1 purl, 9
+double. Each rosette is fastened on to every other circle of the
+
+1st row, as can be seen in illustration. The border is completed as
+follows:--* 1 double, 6 purl divided by 1 double, 1 purled stitch
+fastened on to the middle purl of a circle of the 1st row, 1 plain, 6
+purl divided by 1 double, join the stitch into a circle, turn the lace
+so that the rosettes are turned upwards, fasten the cotton on to the
+purl of the next branch of the next rosette, work 1 double, 7 purl
+divided by 1 double, 1 double; fasten the cotton on to the purl of the
+next branch, * work 1 double, 8 purl divided by 1 double, 1 double;
+fasten the cotton on to the next branch, repeat once more from *, work 1

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 50;
+tatting-pin No. 2; crochet cotton No. 60.
+
+[Illustration: 40.--Lace in Tatting and Crochet.]
+
+The beauty of this lace depends entirely upon the regularity of the
+tatting. The purl stitches must be very regularly made, the circles must
+be drawn up tight. Make * 1 circle, consisting of 4 double, 8 purl
+divided by 2 double, 4 double; close to this circle a second one; 5
+double fastened on the last purl of the preceding circle, 8 times 2
+double divided by 1 purl, 1 purl
+
+5 double, close to the 2nd circle a third one similar to the first, but
+instead of working the 1st purl fasten it on the last purl of the
+preceding circle; leave an interval of about 1-2/5 inch, and repeat from
+* till the lace is sufficiently long. The rest is worked in crochet.
+Take the fine crochet cotton and work the straight row at the top to
+join the patterns together. Crochet 1 double in the 3 first and last
+purl of the first and last circle of one pattern, then a sufficient
+number of double stitches under the piece of cotton which joins 2
+circles. At the place where the circles are drawn together, join the two
+pieces of cotton (the beginning and the end) in such a manner that the
+top of the lace forms a straight line (see illustration). The 2nd row
+consists of 1 treble in every other stitch, 1 chain after every treble.
+Then work on the other side of the lace * a row of treble stitches
+divided by chain. The treble stitches are worked in the purl stitches of
+the circles. Work 1 long treble in the 1st purl left free of the 1st
+circle (4th purl of the circle), 3 chain, * 1 treble, 3 chain, 1 treble,
+3 chain, 2 treble in the next 2 purl, but cast off the 1st treble only
+so far as to keep 2 loops on the needle. When the 2nd treble is
+completed cast off all the loops on the needle, 3 chain, 5 treble
+divided by 4 chain, 3 chain, 2 treble in the 2 following purl, which are
+cast off like those above described, 3 chain, 2 treble divided by 3
+chain in the 2 next purl of a pattern, 1 chain, 1 long treble with which
+you must join the last purl and the first one of the next pattern, 1
+chain; repeat from *. The next row consists of small scallops worked
+round the chain stitch scallops of the preceding row; work in each 1
+double, 4 treble, 1 double, 1 double in the first and last chain stitch
+of every pattern.

+cotton No. 60; tatting-pin No. 2.
+
+[Illustration: 41.--Insertion in Tatting and Crochet.]
+
+Begin the tatting with fine cotton and 2 shuttles. Work with the cotton
+on one shuttle over the cotton on the other in the following
+manner:--Knot the 2 ends of cotton together * 4 times 2 double divided
+by a short purl, 3 long purl divided by 1 double; the 1st and 3rd purl
+must be three-fifths of an inch long, the 2nd one two-fifths of an inch;
+4 times 2 double divided by a short purl, 1 purl two-fifths of an inch
+long; repeat from * till the strip of insertion is sufficiently long.
+Then work a similar row of tatting, and join the two rows before working
+the 1 long purl, by fastening the cotton on the corresponding long purl
+of the 1st row, so that the 2 rows are joined closely together, and the
+purl stitches of either are turned outwards. At the top and bottom of
+the tatting work the 3 following rows of crochet:--* 1 double in the
+middle one of the 3 long purl, 8 chain, 1 double in each of the 3
+following long purl, 8 chain; repeat from * to the end of the row. 2nd
+row. 8 double in each scallop, miss the 3 double stitches of the
+preceding row under 3 chain. The 3rd row consists of treble stitches in
+every other stitch, 1 chain after every treble. Lastly, the leaves are
+worked with thick cotton by filling up the first and last long purl of a
+pattern with darning stitch from illustration; the cross stitches
+between the two rows of tatting are worked with very fine cotton.

+
+42.--_Purse in Tatting and Beads_.
+
+Materials: Grey purse-silk; steel beads; scarlet glace silk; a steel
+clasp with chain.
+
+This purse is worked in tatting with grey silk and beads. The beads are
+threaded on a piece of silk, with which you work over another piece of
+the same. Begin each of the second halves of the purse with the circle
+in the centre, which consists of 1 purled stitch, 1 purl (all the purl
+of this circle are three-tenths of an inch long, and are covered with
+six beads, which must be drawn up close together before working the
+purl), 12 double divided by 1 purl. Join the stitches into a circle by
+knotting together the two ends of the silk.
+
+2nd round: Begin again and work one of the small circles; * 2 double,
+draw up one bead after each, 1 double, 1 short purl without beads, 2
+double, 1 bead after each, 1 double, fasten the silk on the purl of the
+middle circle, so as to let it come between the 3rd and 4th bead of the
+6 beads on that purl; 2 double, 1 bead after each, 1 double, 1 short
+purl, 2 double, 1 bead after each, 1 double, join the stitches into a
+circle, draw up 2 beads; work a larger circle without fastening the silk
+belonging to the smaller one; 3 double, 1 bead after each, 1 double, 1
+purl with 4 beads, 3 double, 1 bead after each, 1 double; 1 short purl,
+3 double, 1 bead after each, 1 double, 1 purl with 4 beads, 3 double, 1
+bead after each, 1 double; draw up 2 beads close to this large circle
+and repeat from *. Each following small circle must be fastened on the
+next purl of the circle which forms the centre; they are also fastened
+on to each other, instead of working the 1st purl, by fastening the
+piece of silk over which you work on the preceding small circle; in the
+larger circles, instead of working the 1st purl with 4 beads, the piece
+of silk must be fastened on the last purl of the preceding circle, so
+that it comes between the 2nd and 3rd beads. At the end of the round,
+the ends of the silk are knotted together and fastened off.
+
+[Illustration: 42.--Purse in Tatting and Beads.]
+
+3rd round: * 3 double, 1 bead after each, 1 double, 1 short purl, 3
+double, 1 bead after each, 1 double fastened on the middle purl of the
+1st circle of the preceding round, 3 double, 1 bead after each, 1
+double, 1 purl with 2 beads, 3 double, 1 bead after each, 1 double; join
+the stitches into a circle, and work at a short distance a 2nd circle; 3
+double, 1 bead after each, 1 double, fastened on the last purl of the
+just-finished circle of this round, 3 double, 1 bead after each, 1
+double fastened on the purl of the preceding round which is between 2
+circles; the loop must come between the 2 beads; 3 double, 1 bead after
+each; 1 double, 1 purl with 2 beads; 3 double, with 1 bead after each; 1
+double; leave a small interval, and repeat 11 times more from *, then

+cotton No. 60; tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+[Illustration: 43.--Insertion in Tatting and Crochet.]
+
+This pattern is composed of leaves and flowers. Each of the six leaves
+forming a circle is composed of 4 double, 2 purl, separated by 2 double,
+4 double (the first and last purl of each leaf must be joined in the
+manner before explained), and the centre of each circle forms a wheel.
+The flower has four leaves: each leaf consists of 6 double, II purl,
+separated each by 1 double, and again 6 double; each leaf is filled up
+with button-hole stitches in fine cotton. To form the circle in the
+centre of this flower, turn several times the thread which joins the
+leaves, and work button-hole stitches round it. Join the flowers and the
+circles by knotting them together, or by making 1 purl longer than the
+others, and by drawing the next figure through. The crochet border on
+each side of the tatting consists of six rows, which are plainly seen in
+the illustration.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 20 and 40.
+
+[Illustration: 44.--Border in Tatting and Lace Stitch.]
+
+This mixture of tatting and lace stitch is a style of work not only
+entirely new, but very pretty and effective when cotton of very
+different sizes is used. The tatting is begun with a row of circles
+two-thirds of an inch distant from each other; each circle consists of
+13 stitches of plain tatting. Fasten a 2nd row to the 1st, and a 3rd to
+the 2nd, by working a circle of 13 stitches of plain tatting at
+one-third of an inch distance, * then at the same distance; fasten the
+cotton on the next circle of the preceding row, work a circle at the
+same distance again, and repeat from *. The cotton is fastened on the
+circles by drawing it through the circle with a crochet-needle, so as to
+form a loop, and then drawing it out of the loop. Take care to keep the
+distance between 2 circles always the same. Between the circles of the
+3rd row draw another piece of cotton, by fastening the cotton on each
+circle of the 3rd row at distances of two-thirds of an inch. Then work
+the lower edge of the border in the following way:--1 small spot called
+a _Josephine knot_ (for which work 5 stitches of plain tatting, draw the
+cotton downwards through the loop which fastens the stitches, and draw
+up the whole), fasten the cotton between the next two circles of the 3rd
+row, * and a little further make a spot consisting of 8 stitches of
+single tatting, close to this a circle formed of 3 double, 9 purl
+divided by 2 double, 3 double; then again a spot of 8 stitches of plain
+tatting, turn the 2 last spots so as to make their round sides come
+opposite one another; fasten the cotton on again between the 2 next
+circles of the 3rd row. Then a little further off work 1 small spot (5
+stitches of plain tatting), 1 circle of 3 double, 1 purl, 2 double
+fastened on the last purl of the preceding circle, 2 double, 5 purl
+divided by 2 double, 3 double; then again a small spot (5 plain
+stitches), fasten the cotton on again between the next 2 circles of the
+3rd row, and repeat from *, always fastening each new circle to the
+corresponding purl of the preceding one. On the other long side, the
+border is completed by 2 rows of crochet. The 1st row is formed by
+working 1 double under the piece of cotton between 2 circles of the 1st
+row, with 5 chain stitches between.
+
+2nd row: 1 treble in every other stitch, 1 chain stitch after every
+treble. The strip of insertion is then tacked on a piece of cardboard or
+oil-cloth, and the lace stitches are worked between the circles, as is
+seen in illustration.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 30 for
+large rosette, No. 80 for small rosette; tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+This rosette forms a very pretty trimming for lingerie--cravats, caps,
+handkerchiefs, &c. The raised pattern in the centre consists of 4
+rounds, consisting of 5 circles each, which are sewn together and then
+fastened on the rosette. The 5 circles of each round must be worked
+close to each other: after working the last circle of each round, knot
+the beginning and end of the cotton together. Each circle of the
+smallest round has 9 double, the circles of the next round each 15, the
+circles of the following one 21, and the circles of the last and largest
+round 27 double stitches. When these circles have been sewn on one to
+another as in illustration, work a large circle consisting of 4 double,
+1 purl, 9 times alternately 5 double, 1 purl, then 1 double. The purls
+of this circle are fastened on to the circles of the next round of the

+Materials: Fine linen; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No.
+30 or 40; tatting-pin No. 2.
+
+[Illustration: 46.--Linen Bag for Tatting, &c.]
+
+This pretty linen bag is meant to keep tatting and such work from being
+soiled before it is completed. The bag is drawn together round the top.
+Its size depends upon what you wish to put into it. The original
+pattern is 3-3/4 inches deep, and 3 inches wide; it is hemmed round the
+top, and trimmed with a narrow tatted lace, consisting of large and
+small circles.

+47.--_Tatted Border._
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 40;
+tatting-pin No. 2.
+
+[Illustration: 47.--Tatted Border.]
+
+Begin this elegant border with 2 rows of tatting, in the following
+manner:--
+
+1st row: 2 double, 1 purl, 3 double, 1 purl, 3 double, 1 purl, 2 double;
+draw these stitches up into a circle, and repeat the circle at a very
+short distance, till the border is long enough; but instead of working
+the first purl of each circle, you must join the circle to the preceding
+one; the purl on the sides of the circle must therefore be longer than
+that in the middle.
+
+For the 2nd row take another shuttle, make a loop on the left side with
+the cotton, and work with this end of cotton over the cotton in the
+right hand, which is also to be held between the thumb and forefinger of
+the left hand. Then work in the following way:--2 double, then 1 circle
+consisting of 3 double, 1 purl, 3 double; to form this circle, let the
+cotton in the left-hand shuttle fall downwards, and make a loop round
+the left hand with the cotton on the shuttle of the right hand. Then
+take up again the left-hand shuttle, and join the circle to the middle
+purl of the 1st circle of the 1st row by drawing the cotton through the
+purl like a loop, and then drawing the cotton in the right hand through
+this loop. * 7 double, 1 circle, 7 double, joined to the middle purl of
+the next circle of the 1st row; 1 circle, 5 double, 1 circle joined on
+the middle purl of the following circle; repeat from *.
+
+The upper edge of the border is worked in 2 crochet rows, in the
+following manner:--
+
+1st row: * 2 treble, divided by 1 chain in the 1st circle of the 1st row
+of tatting; 2 chain; repeat from *.
+
+2nd row: * 1 treble in the 1st chain of the preceding row, 1 purl (3
+chain, 1 slip stitch in the 1st), miss 1 stitch of the preceding row
+under it; repeat from *.

+48.--_Rosette in Embroidery and Tatting._
+
+Materials for trimmings: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton
+No. 20; tatting cotton No. 50; tatting-pin No. 3. For couvrettes,
+crochet cotton No. 4.
+
+This rosette, joined to other similar ones, forms a very pretty trimming
+for articles of fine linen, or even for small couvrettes; if used for
+the former, they must be worked with very fine cotton. The centre of the
+rosette is formed of an embroidered raised pattern worked in _point de
+minute_; round this centre there are small circles worked in button-hole
+stitch; the embroidery is worked with knitting cotton, the circles with
+crochet cotton. Before beginning the circles, make a circle consisting
+of a foundation chain of 80 stitches, in order to be able to fasten the
+button-hole stitch; in each of the stitches of the foundation chain work
+1 double, then fasten the cotton. In the 2nd round of these circles
+fasten the cotton on every 5th stitch of the crochet circle. Work 1
+round of open-work treble stitch in the double stitch of the crochet
+circle, work in tatting the border of the rosette as follows in 1
+round:--* 2 double, 1 purl, 2 double, fastened on to 1 chain stitch
+between 2 treble stitch, 2 double; 1 purl, 2 double,; join these
+stitches into a circle; turn the work so that the wrong side lies
+upwards, and work a second larger circle at a short distance consisting
+of 4 double, 5 purl divided by 2 double, 4 double, turn again and repeat
+from *. The smaller circles must be fastened after every other treble
+stitch; the larger and smaller circles must be fastened above one
+another at the place of the 1st purl.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co's tatting cotton No. 60;
+tatting-pin No. 2.
+
+[Illustration: 49.--Linen Collar trimmed with Tatting.]
+
+The diamond pattern placed in the corner of the collar is commenced in
+the centre. For each of the four centre leaves work 6 double stitches, 6
+purl divided one from the other by 3 double stitches, then 6 more
+double stitches. Fasten off the cotton, cut it, and begin a fresh leaf
+by working 2 double stitches, 10 purl divided one from the other by 2
+double stitches, then 2 more double stitches. (This small leaf forms one
+of the corners of the diamond pattern.) Fasten the cotton to the fourth
+purl of one of the four centre leaves, and work another leaf similar to
+the preceding. Join this leaf by its two centre purl to the two last
+purl of the corner leaf (see illustration). After two more similar
+leaves, work one corner leaf, and continue the pattern in the same
+manner until you come back to the first corner leaf, then fasten off,
+and cut the cotton. Place the diamond pattern upon the point of the
+collar, and cut away the material under it; fold back the edges, sew
+them neatly, and cover them with the following crochet edging:--Make
+alternately 2 chain, 1 purl (the latter composed of 3 chain joined
+together by 1 slip stitch). It will be easy to work the circles in
+tatting from our illustration; they form an elegant border round the
+collar. We shall merely say that the centre circle is always worked
+separately, and that the cotton is fastened on afresh to work the eight
+outer leaves. The upper edge of this border is worked in crochet. It is
+composed of two rows--one formed of chain stitches, and a few slip
+stitches worked in the purl of the circles in tatting, the other worked
+in open treble crochet.

+to the next purl of the 2nd circle of the 2nd round; 6 similar circles,
+between each of which the cotton is to be fastened on to the nearest
+purl of a circle of the 2nd round; repeat once more from *, and knot the
+beginning and the end of the cotton together. When completed, the
+rosette is sewn on the material of the cravat with button-hole stitches,
+taking up one purl with each stitch; the muslin is cut away underneath
+the rosette; then work a round of knotted stitches underneath the
+button-hole stitch. For the lace, make a row of circles one-fifth of an
+inch distant from each other, consisting each of 6 double, 1 purl, 2
+double, 1 purl, 4 times 2 double divided by 1 purl, 1 purl, 2 double, 1

+52.--_Border in Crochet and Tatting_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Boar's Head cotton No. 26.
+
+This border is formed of circles in tatting and crochet leaves, which
+are joined together by rows of crochet work; a narrow
+
+[Illustration: 52.--Border in Crochet and Tatting.]
+
+border in tatting forms the lower edge. Omitting this edge, the border
+forms a strip of insertion. Each of the rosettes or circles is begun in
+the centre; work first 2 double (a double stitch is formed by passing
+the thread over the back of the hand, and then passing the shuttle
+upwards between the forefinger and second finger, and drawing it up,
+then work a stitch of plain tatting; this completes the double stitch,
+and whenever so many double stitches are directed it means the 2
+stitches), 1 purl, repeat 9 times, join the stitch into a circle, work
+at a small distance * a smaller ring consisting of 3 double, 5 purl,
+divided each by 2 double stitches, 4 double, draw the cotton through the
+purl of the first circle, and repeat 8 times more from *, only each
+following circle must be fastened on to a purl of the preceding circle
+after 3 double stitches, and having completed each circle the thread
+must be drawn through the purl of the first circle, which forms the
+centre of the rosette. The beginning and the end of the thread are
+knotted together. For the tatted border, make at short distances 1 loop
+with 5 double, 1 purl, 5 double; after having worked a sufficient number
+of such loops, wind another thread round the thread between the loops,
+turning always 1 loop on the right side and 1 on the left. Now begin the
+crochet part with the leaves. Make for each of these a foundation chain
+of 12 stitches, crochet back over this chain 2 double in the last stitch
+but one, 1 double in the next stitch, 1 treble in each of the following
+7 chain, 2 treble in the next stitch, 2 treble, 1 long treble, and 2
+treble in the next following stitch of the foundation chain. Work on the
+other side of the chain the same pattern, only the reverse way; then 3
+double in the point of the leaf thus formed, and edge the whole leaf
+with a round of double stitches, always working 2 double in each stitch
+of the preceding row, and 3 in the long treble stitch. In working this
+last round, the circles must be joined to the leaves by taking up the
+purl stitch of the circle before casting off the corresponding double
+stitch of the leaf; then work the stem which joins the 2 rows of circles
+and leaves with a row of chain stitches, on which a row of double is
+worked. Then comes the border which forms the upper edge. Make a row of
+chain stitches, joining leaves and circles together, then work 3 rows of
+treble, work 3 more rows over the tatted border, the first row entirely
+in chain stitches, after every fourth stitch take up the purl of the
+loops on one side. 2nd row: 1 treble in the middle stitch of the 3
+chain, 2 treble, divided by 3 chain. 3rd row: 1 treble, 1 chain, miss 1
+under the last. In the last row the leaves and circles must be fastened
+on the border, as seen in illustration.

+tatting-pin No. 1.
+
+This collar is worked with very fine tatting cotton. It consists of four
+branched tatted patterns and of separate tatted circles, fastened on to
+one another as seen in illustration. The four branched patterns are
+worked as follow:--3 double, 1 purl, 7 times alternately 2 double, 1
+purl, then 3 double, and join the knots into a circle. Work 3 similar
+leaves close to this 1st leaf, but instead of working the 1st purl,
+fasten them on to the last purl of the preceding leaf; besides this,
+instead of
+
+[Illustration: 55.--Tatted Collar.]
+
+working the last purl of the 4th branch, fasten it on to the first purl
+of the 1st branch. When 1 such four-branched pattern is completed, knot
+both ends of the cotton together and cut them off. Make a row of similar
+patterns by joining them on to the 2 middle purl of a branch of the
+preceding pattern, instead of working the 2 middle purl of the last
+branch (see illustration). Two rows of similar patterns are joined by
+the above-mentioned circles, consisting of 32 double stitches, by
+fastening these circles from illustration between four branched
+patterns. Begin each circle with 2 double stitches, fasten it on to the
+corresponding purl of the four-branched pattern, work again 2 double,
+fasten on to the next purl, and continue in the same manner till the
+circle is sufficiently large. Each circle is ornamented with lace
+stitch. The collar is edged round the neck with close button-hole
+stitches.

+58.--_Tatting Medallion for Trimming Lingeries, &c._
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 50 for
+cravats and collars, 100 for pocket-handkerchiefs, 20 for petticoats;
+tatting-pin No. 2 or 3.
+
+
+This pattern is suitable for trimming cravats, collars,
+pocket-handkerchiefs, petticoats, &c., according to the size of the
+cotton with which it is worked. Work first the round of circles which
+incloses the leaves, overlapping each other in the centre; begin with
+the smallest circle, which is at the top of the pattern; it consists of
+3 double, 1 purl, 7 double, 1 purl, 7 double, 1 purl, 3 double. Then
+work at a short distance another circle like the preceding one, only
+work 8 double instead of 7, and instead of working the first purl,
+fasten the circle on to the last purl of the preceding circle; all the
+other circles are fastened on to each other in the same manner. The next
+circle, worked again at a distance of about one-fifth of an inch, has 4
+double; fasten it on to the preceding circle, 9 double, 1 purl, 9
+double, 1 purl, 4 double. The following four circles are worked like the
+preceding one; only work in the first of these circles 10 double instead
+of 9, in the second 11 double, in the third 12 double. The piece of
+cotton which joins the circles together must also be somewhat longer
+between the larger circles. Then work a circle
+
+[Illustration: 58.--Tatting Medallion.]
+
+as follows: 5 double, fasten the cotton, 13 double, 1 purl, 13 double, 1
+purl, 5 double; then a similar circle, but always working 14 double
+instead of 13. The next circle consists of 6 double, fasten the cotton,
+15 double, 1 purl, 15 double, 1 purl, 6 double; the two following
+circles are worked in the same manner, working 16 double instead of 15.
+Then comes the largest circle of the round, which consists of 6 double,
+17 double, 1 purl, 17 double, 1 purl, 6 double. Work 11 circles more
+like the 2nd to 12th of those just described (the 13th circle forms the
+middle), only the order of sizes must be reversed, so that the round
+closes with the smallest circle. Then fasten both ends of the cotton
+together, so that the circles are joined into a circle. Then work round
+this row of circles another round, the circles of which must be of
+graduated sizes like those of the first round. Fasten the cotton on to
+the middle purl of the first small circle of the first round, and work
+one circle as follows:--3 double, 1 purl, 6 times alternately 2 double,
+1 purl, then 3 double; fasten the cotton on to the middle purl of the
+next circle, &c. The remaining circles are worked in the same manner,
+only they must be increased and decreased in size gradually like the
+circles of the first round; this is done by increasing or decreasing the
+number of purl, instead of working the first purl of every following
+circle, fasten it on to the last purl of the preceding circle. When the
+round is completed, fasten both ends of the cotton together. In the
+centre of the oval pattern, fasten 6 five-branched patterns of graduated
+size, which are worked in one piece. For the smallest of these patterns
+work first three circles, consisting of 5 double, 1 purl, 5 times
+alternately 2 double, 1 purl, then again 5 double (these circles must be
+close to each other; the second and third circles must, moreover, be
+fastened on to the last purl of the preceding circle). The cotton is
+then fastened on the first circle between the beginning and the end of
+the same, then work close to them two small circles, consisting of 6
+double, 1 purl, 6 double, fasten the cotton between the beginning and
+the end of the third circle. The other five-branched patterns are worked
+in the same manner at intervals of about three-tenths of an inch; but
+the separate circles of each pattern must become gradually larger. In
+the largest pattern the three large circles consist of 5 double, 1 purl,
+8 times alternately 2 double, 1 purl, 5 double; the two smaller circles
+consist each of 15 double, 1 purl, 15 double; the size of the other
+patterns can easily be worked from this; the cotton which joins these
+last together is covered by over-casting with a needle and thread, so as
+to imitate double stitches. The five-branched patterns are then fastened
+in the oval pattern; they must overlap each other to half way, as seen
+in the illustration.

+59.--_Tatted Diamond_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 40, or 80
+if required finer; tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+[Illustration: 59--Tatted Diamond.]
+
+This pattern is meant to ornament lingerie; it is worked with fine
+tatting cotton in the following manner:--Work a * circle consisting of 6
+double, 1 purl, 6 double, turn the circle downwards and work at a short
+distance another circle consisting of 5 double, 4 purl divided by 2
+double, 5 double; at a similar distance a circle of 5 double fastened on
+to the last purl of the preceding circle, 2 double, 5 purl divided by 2
+double, 5 double; then again a circle consisting of 5 double fastened on
+to the last purl of the preceding circle, 2 double, 3 purl divided by 2
+double, 5 double: fasten the cotton on to the first circle. Then turn
+the work so that the last three circles are turned downwards, leave an
+interval of at least three-fourths of an inch, and repeat three times
+more from *, fastening the circles on to each other from illustration.
+Knot together the beginning and end of the cotton, work button-hole
+stitches round the cotton which joins the circles, as shown in
+illustration. The purl stitches of the four middle circles of the
+diamond are knotted together.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+60.--_Tatted Cravat End_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 50;
+tatting-pin No. 3; 2 shuttles.
+
+This cravat end is given in full size. It is ornamented with a tatted
+medallion, edged with lace. The tatting is worked with tatting fine
+cotton and two shuttles. Make first the two rosettes which form the
+centre of the medallion, then the insertion-like part which edges the
+rosettes. The larger rosette is worked as follows:--Knot the cotton of
+both shuttles together and work with 1 shuttle only 1 circle consisting
+of 10 double, 1 purl one-fifth of an inch long, 10 double; * close to
+this circle, which is turned downwards, work over the cotton with the
+other shuttle, 1 double, 1 purl, 8 double; this forms one of the
+scallops joining two circles. Then turn the work again and work close to
+the just completed scallop another circle like the first, but which is
+joined to the first circle instead of working the purl. Repeat 4 times
+more from *. Then work another scallop and fasten both ends of cotton on
+to the cotton over which the first scallop has been worked, at the place
+where the scallop is joined to the first circle. The first round of the
+rosette is thus completed. Work then the 2nd round over the cotton on
+the 2nd shuttle, beginning to work where the two ends of cotton have
+been fastened, * 6 double, 1 purl, 5 double, fastened on to the purl of
+the next scallop of the preceding round, 5 double, 1 purl, 6 double
+fastened on to the cotton between two scallops of the
+
+[Illustration: 60.--Tatted Cravat End.]
+
+preceding round; repeat 5 times more from *. The larger rosette is now
+completed. The smaller rosette is worked like the first, only without
+the second round. The insertion-like border is worked in two halves as
+follows:--The half which touches the edge of the medallion is worked as
+follows:--Knot both ends of cotton together and *, work with 1 shuttle
+only 1 circle consisting of 8 double, 1 purl one-fifth of an inch long,
+8 double; turn the circle downwards and work close to it over the cotton
+on the 2nd shuttle 6 double, 1 purl, 6 double; this forms a scallop of
+the border. Then turn the work again and work close to the scallop
+another circle like the first, but which is fastened on to the first
+circle instead of working the purl. Turn the work again, work a scallop
+like the preceding one, and repeat 15 times more from *, only the
+scallops at the lower edge of the medallion must have a few double
+stitches more, as can be seen in illustration. After working the last
+scallop fasten the two ends of the cotton on to the 1st circle; then cut
+them off. The second inner half is worked like the first; only the
+circles are worked without any purl stitch, and fastened on to the
+circles of the first half from illustration; the scallops of this half
+are somewhat smaller; each consists of 5 double, 1 purl, 5 double. The
+completed border is sewn on to the rosettes from illustration; the
+different pieces must be first fastened on cardboard. The cotton must be
+wound several times round the long threads, as seen in illustration. The
+medallion is then sewn into the muslin at the top only; the remaining
+border is edged, before joining it to the muslin, with a straight row of
+knots to be worked over cotton, and fastened on to each outer scallop of
+the border at regular intervals. The number of double stitches between
+two purl is different, as distinctly seen in illustration. For the lace
+knot both ends of cotton together, * work with one shuttle only 1 circle
+consisting of 8 double, 1 purl, 8 double; turn the work and make
+another circle consisting of 2 double, 9 times alternately 1 purl, 2
+double; then fasten this circle on to the preceding one, where it has
+been joined into a circle, so that both circles meet as seen in
+illustration. After having turned the work again, work 9 double over the
+cotton on the 2nd shuttle, which form a scallop between the circles, and
+repeat from *. The lace is then sewn round the edge of the muslin.

+61.--_Rosette in Tatting and Embroidery_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 60, or No.
+40 if desired in a larger size.
+
+[Illustration: 61. Rosette in Tatting and Embroidery.]
+
+This rosette is suitable for ornamenting lingeries, cravats, &c. It is
+worked in white embroidery and lace stitch, and edged all round with a
+tatted lace. For the latter work with very fine cotton * 1 large circle,
+consisting of 5 double, 1 purl, 7 times alternately 2 double, 1 purl,
+then 5 double. At a short distance from this circle work a smaller one,
+consisting of 5 double fastened on to the last purl of the large circle,
+5 double. Leave again an interval as small as the last, and repeat from
+* 11 times more. But in working the large circles, instead of working
+the 1st purl, fasten them on the same purl of the large circle on which
+the small circle has been fastened; besides this, in working the last
+(12th) large circle, instead of working the last purl, fasten it on the
+1st purl of the 1st circle; the last small circle is fastened on to the
+same purl. The lace is thus joined into a circle, and is sewn round the
+outside of the rosette with button-hole stitches.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 60;
+tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+[Illustration: 62.--Cravat End in Tatting.]
+
+The illustration shows the end of a tatted cravat. Work first the middle
+row of the cravat at the same time with the row of circles on the left
+side of the middle row in illustration; begin with the first circle of
+the middle row. It consists of 7 times alternately 3 double, 1 small
+purl, then 3 double. Work close to this circle, which must be turned
+downwards, a Josephine knot, consisting of 5 plain stitches, then a
+circle consisting of 5 double, 1 purl one-fifth of an inch long, 5 times
+alternately 3 double, 1 small purl; 3 double, 1 long purl, 5 double.
+*Turn this circle (which is the first of the side row) downwards, work
+close to it a Josephine knot, then a circle consisting of 12 double, 1
+small purl, 12 double. Turn this circle downwards, work a Josephine
+knot, and then again a circle like the first of the side row, but
+instead of working the first long purl, fasten it on to the last purl of
+the preceding circle of the same row. Then hold the work so that the
+circles of the side row are turned downwards, work a Josephine knot, 1
+circle like the first circle of the middle row, turn the work, make 1
+Josephine knot, and then a circle like the second circle of the side
+row. Repeat from * till the cravat is sufficiently long. The last circle
+of the middle row must correspond to the first circle of the same row.
+Then begin to work the lower edge at the same time with the last circle
+of the middle row, * 1 Josephine knot, then a circle like the circles of
+the side row, again 1 Josephine knot, fastened on to the next purl of
+the last circle of the middle row; repeat 3 times more from *. Then
+continue as before, and work on the right side of the middle row a row
+of circles exactly like those which have been worked at the same time
+with those of the middle row.
+
+The fastening on of the cotton between two Josephine knots is seen in
+illustration. The circles at the other end of the cravat are fastened
+like those of the first-described end. The cravat is edged all round
+with a row of circles with Josephine knots worked exactly like those of
+the preceding row, and the manner of fastening which is seen in the
+illustration.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 60, or 40
+if required larger; tatting-pin No. 3.
+
+[Illustration: 63.--Rosette in Tatting and Embroidery.]
+
+The centre of this rosette is worked in lace stitch on muslin, edged
+round with button-hole stitch and trimmed with a tatted lace, which is
+worked at the same time with the centre. Work first * a small circle
+consisting of 5 double, 1 purl, 3 double, fastened on to the button-hole
+stitch edging of the rosette, then 3 double, 1 purl, 5 double. Then turn
+the just-completed circle downwards, and afterwards work at a short
+distance a large circle consisting of 7 double, 6 times alternately 1
+purl, 2 double, lastly 1 purl, 7 double, then 1 Josephine knot
+consisting of 7 plain. Then turn the work again, so that the last large
+circle is turned downwards, and repeat from * 12 times more; the large
+and small circles must be fastened on to one another, as seen in
+illustration. The fastening of the small circles on to the centre is
+likewise done from the illustration.
+
+64.--_Cravat End in Tatting and Darned Netting_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 50;
+tatting-pin No. 3; square of netting; fine Mecklenburg thread No. 80.
+
+[Illustration: 64.--Cravat End in Tatting and Darned Netting.]
+
+The end of this cravat is ornamented with a square of darned netting,
+edged with a tatted border, and sewn on to the material of the cravat.
+But the diamond in tatting (page 18), or the square (page 31) will look
+very pretty with this border. The square is worked in diamond netting,
+and has seven holes in length and breadth. They are darned in linen
+stitch, darning stitch, and _point d'esprit_, with Mecklenburg thread.
+The ground is worked over a mesh measuring three-tenths of an inch
+round. For each square one more row than is needed must be worked, and
+the cast-on stitches are cut off, as they are longer than the stitches
+of the other rows. The tatted border is worked with fine tatting cotton.
+Fasten the cotton at one corner of the square and work * a circle
+consisting of 7 double, 1 purl, then six times alternately 2 double, 1
+purl, 7 double, fasten the cotton on to the same stitch of the ground
+where it was first fastened; #work a second circle like the
+first, but fasten it, instead of working the first purl on to the last
+purl of the preceding circle; fasten the cotton again on to the same
+stitch, then on to the next stitch, and work a small circle, consisting
+of 5 double fastened on to the last purl of the preceding circle, 4
+double, 1 purl, 5 double. The cotton is fastened on to the same netted
+stitch as before, and then on to the next stitch; repeat twice more from
+#, and then repeat from * in all three times more, so that the
+square is edged all round. It is sewn into the material from the
+illustration.

+65.--_Tatted Antimacassar. (See pages_ 574-5.)
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Boar's Head cotton No. 30, or
+tatting cotton No. 24, or for a larger size tatting cotton No. 20;
+tatting-pin No. 1; large shuttle.
+
+The illustration shows the fourth of the antimacassar and the whole of
+the rosette which forms the centre. Begin with the latter, with the
+five-branched pattern in the centre, at the same time with the following
+round of circles:--*Work first one circle of this round, consisting of 3
+double, 1 purl, 4 times alternately 2 double, 1 purl, 3 double; then at
+a short distance a circle like the one just made, in which, however,
+instead of working the first purl, the cotton must be joined on to the
+last purl of the preceding circle. Then work at a short distance the
+first leaf of the five-branched pattern, which consists of 4 double, 1
+purl, 4 double. When this branch is completed, repeat at a short
+distance 4 times more from *; but in working the branches of the
+five-branched pattern, instead of working the purl, join it on to the
+purl of the first branch of the five-branched pattern (this purl forms
+the centre of the pattern). All the circles must also be joined one to
+each other, as can be seen from illustration. Then work the scallops
+round the border of the rosette, * fasten the cotton on to the purl
+which joins the two next circles of the preceding round, and work one
+scallop consisting of 11 times alternately 2 double, 1 purl, then 2
+double. Repeat 9 times more from *. When the rosette is completed, work
+eight rosettes in the same manner and join them into a circle from
+illustration by means of small three-branched patterns, and then join
+them on to the middle rosette.
+
+The strip of insertion which comes next is worked in two halves as
+follows:--Work first, for the half turned towards the centre, two rows
+of circles lying opposite each other; begin with one of the largest
+circles, consisting of 4 double, 1 purl, 3 times alternately 2 double, 1
+purl, then 4 double; * at a short distance work a smaller circle of 4
+double, 1 purl, 4 double; after another short distance, a circle like
+the first joined on to it; then again a smaller circle, which at the
+place of the first purl is joined on to the purl of the preceding small
+circle. A short distance from this work again one of the larger circles
+just described, which is fastened on to the preceding similar circle;
+then repeat from * till the double row has nine larger and eight smaller
+circles. The first half of the strip of insertion is completed; the
+second outer half is worked like the first, only the small circles must
+here be worked without any purl, and two of them together must always be
+fastened on to the two joined small circles of the first half, as was
+done for the five-branched pattern of the rosette; besides this, each of
+the large circles has 4 double, 1 purl, 4 times alternately 2 double, 1
+purl, then 4 double. When eight similar patterns have been worked, join
+them into a circle from illustration by means of small rosettes; this
+circle is then joined to the already-finished part of the cover. The
+small rosettes and remaining patterns of the antimacassar are easily
+worked from illustration. The completed patterns are joined together in
+the course of the work.

+
+EMBROIDERY
+
+
+INSTRUCTIONS.
+
+
+The art of embroidering with cotton on linen, muslin, cambric, pique,
+&c., is very easy to learn by strictly attending to the following
+instructions.
+
+The size of the thread and needle must correspond to that of the
+material on which you embroider; the needle must not be too long, and
+the cotton must be soft. Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s embroidery
+cotton is the best. Skilful embroiderers never work over anything,
+because when you tack the material on paper or cloth each stitch shows,
+and if the material is very fine, leaves small holes; but for those that
+are learning we should advise them to tack the material to be
+embroidered upon a piece of _toile ciree_. If you work without this,
+place the material straight over the forefinger of the left hand; the
+material must never be held slantways. The three other fingers of the
+left hand hold the work; the thumb remains free to give the right
+position to each stitch. The work must always, if possible, lie so that
+the outline of the pattern is turned towards the person who works. For
+the sake of greater clearness one part of the following illustrations is
+given in larger size than nature. Preparing the patterns is one of the
+most important things in embroidery, for the shape of the patterns is
+often spoiled merely because they have not been prepared with sufficient
+care.
+
+
+[Illustration: 66.--Scallop.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 66 shows how to prepare a scallop. Take thicker cotton than
+that with which you work; never commence with a knot, and do not take a
+thread longer than sixteen or eighteen inches. The outlines of the
+scallops are first traced with short straight stitches. In the corners
+particularly the stitches must be short. The space between the outlines
+is filled with chain stitches, as can be seen from illustration; they
+must not be too long, otherwise the embroidery will look coarse. It is
+in this way that every pattern to be worked in button-hole or satin
+stitch is to be prepared.
+
+
+[Illustration: 67.--Double Overcast Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 67 shows the double overcast stitch or button-hole stitch
+in a straight line. After having traced the outline begin to work from
+left to right; fasten the cotton with a few stitches, hold it with the
+thumb of the left hand under the outline, insert the needle downwards
+above the outline, draw it out under the same above the cotton which you
+hold in the left hand, and draw it up. Repeat for all the stitches in
+the same manner; they must be regular and lie close to one another.
+Great care should be taken that the material on which you embroider is
+not puckered.
+
+
+[Illustration: 68.--Overcast Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 68 (_Overcast Stitch_).--The double overcast and the
+button-hole stitches are worked from left to right, whilst back
+stitches, knotted and satin stitches are worked from right to left. The
+stitch is worked in the same way as the double overcast, only the needle
+must never be drawn out _above_, but _below_, the cotton with which you
+work, and which you keep down with the thumb of the left hand.
+
+
+[Illustration: 69.--Slanting Overcast Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 69.--The slanting overcast stitch is worked without tracing
+the outline, always inserting the needle downwards--that is, from top to
+bottom. The needle must be inserted in the manner shown in
+illustration--that is, not straight, but slanting; insert it a little
+farther than the last stitch, and draw it out close to it. The wrong
+side of the work must show back stitches. This sort of stitch is used
+for the fine outlines in patterns or letter.
+
+
+[Illustration: 70.--Back Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 70.--This shows the back stitch, the working of which is
+well known; it is worked in several rows close to each other.
+
+
+[Illustration: 71.--Point Croise.]
+
+[Illustration: 72.--Point Croise.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 71 & 72 show another kind of back stitch, called _point
+croise_, which is only used on very thin and transparent materials. This
+stitch forms on the wrong side a sort of darned pattern, which is seen
+by transparence on the right side, and gives the embroidered pattern a
+thicker appearance, contrasting with the rest of the work (see the lower
+leaves of the flower on illustration 110). For this stitch insert the
+needle into the material as for the common back stitch, draw it out
+underneath the needle on the opposite outline of the pattern, so as to
+form on the wrong side a slanting line. Insert the needle again as for
+common back stitch; draw it out slanting at the place marked for the
+next stitch on the opposite outline, as shown in illustration 71.
+
+
+[Illustration: 73--- Knotted Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 73 shows the knotted stitch; the simplest way of working it
+is to work two back stitches at a short distance from each other over
+the same thread.
+
+
+The knotted stitch seen in ILLUSTRATION 74 is worked thus:--Take about
+four threads of the material on the needle, draw the needle half out,
+wind the cotton twice round the point of the needle, hold it tight with
+the thumb, draw the needle out carefully and insert it at the place
+where the stitch was begun, and draw it out at the place where the next
+stitch is to be worked.
+
+[Illustration: 74.--Knotted Stitch.]
+
+
+[Illustration: 75.--Knotted Stitch]
+
+The knotted stitch seen on ILLUSTRATION 75 is worked in nearly the same
+manner as the preceding one. Before drawing the cotton out of the
+material hold it tight with the left-hand thumb; leave the needle in the
+same position, wind the cotton twice round it, turn the needle from left
+to right, so (follow the direction of the arrow) that its point arrives
+where the cotton was drawn out (marked by a cross in illustration),
+insert the needle there, and draw it out at the place of the next
+stitch.
+
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 76 & 77.--Raised satin stitch is principally used for
+blossoms, flowers, leaves, letters, &c. After having traced the outlines
+of the pattern, fill the space left between them with chain stitches in
+a direction different from that in which the pattern is to be
+embroidered; begin at the point of the leaf, working from right to left,
+make short straight stitches, always
+
+[Illustration: 76.--Raised Satin Stitch.]
+
+inserting the needle close above the outline and drawing it out below.
+The leaves on the flowers, as well as on the branches, must be begun
+from the point, because they thus acquire a better shape. If you wish to
+work a leaf divided in the middle, as seen in illustration 77, you must
+trace the veining before you fill it with chain stitches, then begin at
+one point of the leaf and work first one half and then the other.
+
+[Illustration: 77.--Raised Satin Stitch.]
+
+
+[Illustration: 78.--Point de Plume.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 78 shows the so-called _point de plume_ on a scalloped
+leaf. It is worked like the satin stitch, only the needle is drawn
+through the material in a slanting direction.
+
+
+[Illustration: 79.--Point de Minute.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 79 (_Point de Minute_).--This stitch is often used instead
+of satin stitch when the patterns must appear raised. Wind the cotton
+several times round the point of the needle, which is inserted into the
+material half its length (the number of times the cotton is to be wound
+round the needle depends on the length of the pattern), hold fast the
+windings with the thumb of the left hand, draw the needle and the cotton
+through the windings, insert the needle into the material at the same
+place, and draw it out at the place where the next stitch is to begin.
+
+
+[Illustration: 80.--Ladder Stitch.]
+
+[Illustration: 81.--Ladder Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 80 & 81 show the _ladder stitch_, often used in ornamental
+embroidery. Trace first the outlines as seen in illustrations; mark also
+the cross stitches between the outlines, so that the first touch the
+outlines only at both ends. The outlines are embroidered in overcast
+stitch or double overcast; the material is cut away underneath the
+ladder stitch between the outlines.
+
+We have now shown the different kinds of stitches used in embroidery;
+the following illustrations show them used for different patterns.
+

+[Illustration: 83.--Button-hole Stitch Scallop.]
+
+[Illustration: 84.--Button-hole Stitch Scallop.]
+
+[Illustration: 85.--Button-hole Stitch Scallop.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 82 TO 85 (_Different Button-hole Stitch Scallops_).--These
+scallops are prepared as above described. Take care to have the stitches
+even and regular; the scallops must be wide in the centre and very fine
+at both ends.
+
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 86 & 87 (_Button-holes and Eyelets_).--This kind of
+embroidery is used only in round or long patterns. Trace first the
+outline of the hole, cut away a small round piece of material, not too
+close to the outlines (when the button-hole is very small merely insert
+the point of the scissors or a stiletto into the material), fold the
+edge of the material back with the needle, and work the hole in overcast
+stitch, inserting the needle into the empty place in the centre and
+drawing it out under the outline. Some button-holes are worked
+separately; sometimes they are in a row; if so, take care to begin to
+work each button-hole at the place where it touches the next. In the
+following button-holes the outside must be traced double, so as to reach
+as far as the next one, but each button-hole is finished at once.
+Illustration 86 shows a button-hole worked round in button-hole stitch,
+87 an eyelet-hole worked in overcast.
+

+
+[Illustration: 89.--Shaded Button-hole.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 88 & 89.--Shaded button-holes are worked like the others,
+only they are prepared, as can be seen in illustration 89, so as to mark
+the thickness. The stitches must gradually get narrower or wider, and be
+worked very close to each other.
+
+
+[Illustration: 90.--Leaf in Raised Satin Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 90 & 91 (_Two Leaves in Raised Satin Stitch_).--In a leaf
+like the one seen in 90 work first the outline and veining in overcast
+stitch; work one half of the leaf in satin stitch, and the other half
+between the overcast outline and veining in back stitch. The stem of a
+leaf is always worked last.
+
+[Illustration: 91.--Leaf in Raised Satin Stitch.]
+
+
+[Illustration: 92.--Raised Leaf.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 92 & 93 (_Two Leaves in Satin Stitch and Point de
+Plume_).--For leaves like the one seen in 93 begin with the veinings,
+then work the inner points, then the outer ones, and lastly the raised
+spots in the centre. The leaf seen in 92 is worked, one half in _point
+de plume_, the other half in back stitch or _point d'or_.
+
+[Illustration: 93.--Raised Leaf.]
+
+
+[Illustration: 94.--Leaf.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 94.--- The outline of this leaf is embroidered in overcast
+stitch; the open-work veining consists of eyelets; one half of the leaf
+is worked in back stitch, the other half in a kind of satin stitch
+worked without chain stitches underneath; the stitches are worked
+across the leaf, leaving between two stitches an interval as wide as the
+stitch itself. The next row is then worked in these intervals, and each
+stitch begins half-way up the one before and after it.
+
+
+[Illustration: 95.--Leaf Raised.]
+
+[Illustration: 96.--Leaf Raised.]
+
+[Illustration: 97.--Raised Leaf.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 95 to 97 (_Leaf in Raised Embroidery).--This kind of
+embroidery is particularly beautiful, as it is worked separately and
+sewn on the material with an outline in very fine cotton, this produces
+the shade seen in 95 (see also illustrations 98 to 113). For such leaves
+work first one half in overcast and satin stitch (illustration 96); the
+other half is worked on a separate piece of material (see illustration
+97); cut away the material along the overcast outline, and fasten it on
+the foundation material along the outline which forms the veining on
+illustration 96.
+
+
+[Illustration: 98.--Raised Embroidered Leaf.]
+
+[Illustration: 99.--Half of Leaf (98).]
+
+[Illustration: 100.--Centre of Leaf (98).]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 98 TO 100 show a similar leaf; both halves are worked
+separately (see 99); the centre is worked in open lace stitch. The
+latter (see No. 100) is traced, then make ladder stitches across, work
+the outlines in overcast stitch, and cut away the material underneath
+the ladder stitch. The cross stitches are then worked in darning stitch
+with very fine cotton wherever two threads meet.
+
+
+[Illustration: 101.--Blossom in Satin Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 101 (_Blossom in Satin Stitch_).--The eyelet is worked in
+overcast stitch, then work the upper part of the blossom all in one
+piece as far as the beginning of the veining, thence the blossom is
+worked in two halves.
+
+
+[Illustration: 102.--Blossom in Satin Stitch.]
+
+[Illustration: 103.--Bead partly covered.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 102 & 103 (_Blossom in Satin Stitch_).--The raised centre
+of this flower is formed by a bead, over which the embroidery is worked.
+When the leaves have been worked one after the other, place a bead in
+the centre, left free in such a manner that one hole lies on the
+material, and work over the bead by inserting the needle into its upper
+hole, then underneath the material, drawing it out above the material
+close to the bead, and so on (see 103).
+
+
+[Illustration: 104.--Star in Satin Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 104 (_Star Pattern in Satin Stitch_).--The centre, which
+forms a wheel, is worked first. Draw the threads across the circle
+marked by an outline; in the centre they are wound round, always taking
+one thread _on the needle_ and leaving the next thread _under the
+needle_, as can be seen in 122 on the half-finished pattern. The
+material underneath the wheel is only cut away when the rest of the
+pattern has been embroidered.
+
+
+[Illustration: 105.--Star in Point de Reprise.]

+
+
+[Illustration: 117.--Flower appliqued on Net.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 116 & 117 (_Flower worked in Applique_).--To work in
+applique, two materials, either similar or different, are needed. You
+can work either in applique of muslin on muslin, or of muslin on net, or
+of net on net. Muslin on Brussels net is the prettiest way of working in
+applique; we will therefore describe it: the other materials are worked
+in the same manner. Trace the pattern on the muslin, fasten the latter
+on the net, and trace the outlines of the pattern with very small
+stitches work them in overcast stitch with very fine cotton, taking care
+not to pucker the material. The veinings are worked in overcast. When
+the pattern has been embroidered cut away the muslin round the outlines
+with sharp scissors, so that the net forms the grounding (see No. 117).
+The greatest care is required in cutting out the muslin to avoid
+touching the threads of the net.
+
+
+[Illustration: 118.--Border.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 118 & 119 (_Narrow Borders_).--It will be easy to work
+these borders from the above instructions. Observe only that on border
+118 the outer row of scallops is worked first, then the button-hole
+stitch row, and the rest afterwards. The spots are edged all round in
+knotted stitch. The wheels in the centre of the eyelets of No. 119 are
+worked with very fine cotton in loose button-hole stitch; they are wound
+round with the cotton in a second row.
+
+[Illustration: 119.--Border.]
+
+
+[Illustration: 120.--Insertion.]
+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 120 TO 122.--Three strips of insertion, which are worked
+nearly like the ladder stitch. For No. 120, in tracing the outlines,
+make two small knots at short distances by winding the cotton four times
+round the needle, as can be seen in illustration; the windings are held
+down with the thumb of the left hand, draw the needle through, and a
+knot is formed. The outlines are worked in button-hole stitch only when
+all the knots have been made, and then the material is cut away
+underneath.
+
+Illustration 121 is a variety of the slanting ladder stitch.
+
+Illustration 122.--The cross threads are worked in two rows in the
+common herring-bone stitch, as can be seen by the black lines on the
+illustration. The straight lines at the top and at the bottom are worked
+in double overcast; lastly, the wheels are worked in a row as described
+for the star pattern, No. 104.

+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 123 To 129 (_Embroidered Initials_).--To learn to work
+initials the Roman characters are the easiest to begin with. They must
+be traced and prepared like other embroidery in satin stitch, only the
+chain stitches underneath must not be too thick: it would take away the
+shape of the letters. All depends on the fineness and regularity of the
+stitches; they must be worked in overcast stitch. Work from left to
+right, and the letter when completed must look rather like raised
+printing than like embroidery. Gothic letters are much more difficult to
+work on account of the many flourishes; it requires great practice in
+needlework to embroider them well. Illustration 123.--The small black
+dots are worked in black silk on the thick parts of the letter: the fine
+strokes are covered with cross threads of black silk. Illustration
+124.--The outlines of the letter and the fine strokes are worked in
+black silk. Illustration 125.--This letter is embroidered in raised
+satin stitch and _point de plume_. Illustration 126.--This letter is

+EMBROIDERY.
+
+[In working the following Embroidery Patterns it will be found advisable
+to trace the design clearly upon tracing-paper with a sharp-pointed lead
+pencil. The pattern thus traced must be perforated with a fine needle in
+a succession of tiny holes, at the rate of about twenty to the inch.
+Those ladies who possess a sewing-machine will find no difficulty in
+accomplishing this. Several thicknesses of paper can be perforated at
+the same time, if required, by any ordinary machine. To transfer the
+traced and perforated design to the fabric to be embroidered, it is only
+necessary to rub a small quantity of powder blue through the holes.]
+
+
+131.--_Insertion in Embroidery_.
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s embroidery cotton No. 16.
+
+This insertion is worked in raised satin stitch and button-hole stitch.
+The outlines must first be traced and the space filled up with chain
+stitches. To work a leaf, begin at the point, working from right to
+left, making short stitches, and always inserting the needle close above
+the outline and drawing it out below. The holes left for the ribbon to
+pass through are worked in plain button-hole stitch, the dots are worked
+in raised satin stitch.

+
+This small round basket measures seven inches across; it has a cover and
+two handles. The wicker is very delicately plaited, and is ornamented
+with a pattern in chenille which is very easy to work. Upon the cover,
+work in point Russe one large star in blue chenille, with the centre and
+outer circle in black. All round, work small stars in blue chenille,
+with a black stitch in the centre. The position of these stars is shown
+in our illustration. The basket requires no mounting; it is not even
+lined.

+This pretty star should be worked in fine overcast stitch (see No. 68 in
+_Embroidery Instructions_). The centre is worked in raised satin stitch
+leaves round a circle of button-hole stitch, in the middle of which a
+wheel is worked thus:--Slip the cotton under the thick edge and fasten
+it, then cross it over and back so as to make 8 bars, then twist the
+cotton twice round 1 bar; this will bring it to the centre; work over
+and under each of the bars until a thick dot is formed; fasten the
+cotton beneath this, and twist it twice round the bar opposite to the
+first one you worked, and finish off.

+
+This is an embroidery-pattern for a woollen or silk quilted counterpane.
+Such counterpanes generally have a lining which is turned back on the
+right side, and buttoned down at the point of each scallop. The pattern
+is a quilted counterpane of scarlet cashmere; the lining is of fine
+linen. Before embroidering it, make the points for the corners. The
+embroidery is worked in button-hole stitch, overcast, satin, and ladder
+stitch. It can also be worked on fine cambric or muslin, and then the
+embroidered pattern sewn on the piece of linen which forms the cover on
+the wrong side. Make the button-holes as seen on illustration, and sew
+on mother-of-pearl or china buttons.

+184 _and_ 185--- _Embroidery Patterns for Trimming Cravats, Bodices,
+Morning Caps, &c._
+
+[Illustration: 184--Embroidery Pattern for Cravats, &c.]
+
+Materials: Muslin or cambric; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s No. 24 for
+lingerie, No. 12 for couvrettes.
+
+These patterns, worked on muslin or cambric, are suitable for trimming
+various articles of lingerie; joined on to other squares they make
+pretty covers. They can also be embroidered with coloured silk, wool, or
+thread, on cloth, rep, or cashmere, for trimming couvrettes and toilet
+pincushions. The patterns should be embroidered in satin stitch and
+edged with chain stitch; they can also be worked in button-hole stitch.
+When the pattern is worked on woollen material this material must be cut
+away inside the leaves and spots.

+197.--_Embroidered Handkerchief_.
+
+Materials: Grass lawn or French cambric; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s
+embroidery cotton No. 40.
+
+This embroidery pattern is worked between the borders of a handkerchief,
+which may be either of French cambric or grass lawn. The design is
+simple, but effective, and very easy to work. If worked on fine French
+cambric, the handkerchief should be lightly tacked upon _toile ciree_.
+The rows of raised dots should be worked first, and then the graceful
+branches of pointed leaves in satin stitch. The plain round dots might
+be worked in bright red marking cotton in either of the patterns. To
+produce a good effect, rather fine cotton must be selected, and No. 40
+will be found very effective on either lawn or cambric. For mourning
+wear, this pattern should be embroidered with black filoselle, or the
+leaves can be worked in white cotton, and the dots in filoselle.

+embroidery silk of different colours; scarlet satin; red silk braid; red
+cord; cardboard; cotton wool; and a strap of light-coloured leather.
+
+[Illustration: 200.--Work Bag.]
+
+This work-bag is made in the shape of a rolled-up plaid. The outside
+consists of drab cloth, trimmed with applique embroidery. The inside of
+the bag is slightly wadded and lined with red satin, which is quilted in
+diamonds. The seams are covered with red braid, and a leather strap
+completes the whole. Cut out a good pattern in paper, and then cut the
+satin and wadding and the drab cloth which forms the outside. After
+having traced the pattern on the cloth, work it with small pieces of
+coloured cloth in applique embroidery. The different figures are sewn
+over the centre partly in point Russe, partly in button-hole stitches,
+with embroidery silk. The stems in the middle are worked with silk in
+chain stitches. The colours may be chosen according to taste. Cut a
+pattern in cardboard, and fasten the drab cloth on it. The edge must be
+bordered with red satin, and the satin lining must be sewed in. The ends
+of the bag are likewise cut out of cardboard; the inside is wadded and
+lined with red satin; the outside worked in applique embroidery like the
+rest of the bag. All the seams are covered with red silk cord. The
+straps are fastened with a few stitches, as seen in the illustration.

+
+Materials: Java canvas; black silk; red wool; calico.
+
+[Illustration: 201.--Pattern for Braces (full size).]
+
+These braces are made of Java canvas lined with calico ornamented with
+embroidery in black silk and red wool, and edged on either side with
+loose button-hole stitch and crochet vandykes in red wool.
+Illustration 201 shows part of the embroidered braces, full size. Work
+first the embroidery of the braces, then line them with calico; work
+loose button-hole stitch and crochet vandykes on all the edges of the
+cross bands as well as at the top and bottom of these strips, and sew on
+the tabs for the braces between the lining and the canvas. The latter
+are then edged with button-hole stitch and crochet-vandykes. The
+vandykes are worked as follow--in one row: 1 double in 1 button-hole
+stitch, * 1 purl (3 chain, 1 double in the 1st), missing the next
+button-hole stitch under it; 1 double in the following button-hole
+stitch, repeat from *. The tabs are made of tape worked round with red
+button-hole stitch, with button-holes worked with red cotton. No. 203

+brocade; gold and silver braid; silk cord and thread.
+
+This pattern is embroidered on white silk rep with silver and gold
+thread, and sewn on over a black velvet, rep, or cloth centre. The dark
+patterns are worked in applique with black velvet, the two other shades
+in gold and silver brocade. The embroidery is worked in satin stitch
+with gold and silver braid, silk and cord of the same material. The
+border can also be worked upon the material for the centre if it is not
+intended to contrast with it. The pattern can also be worked entirely in
+silk with satin stitch. The size of the border may, of course, be
+increased if desired, but the third pattern in the darkest shade must,
+in any case, form the centre of it.

+
+[Illustration: 206.--Venetian Border.]
+
+This design is elegant and effective, without there being a great deal
+of work in it. It is useful for tuckers for evening dresses or

+_207.--Lace Insertion._
+
+Materials: Fine black sewing silk; black Brussels net.
+
+This lace insertion is first outlined in running stitch upon the net;
+the leaves are then darned across the net holes; the stems are worked in
+overcast stitch; the dots are embroidered by darning across the circle
+previously outlined; the lace stitches in the centre are formed by
+gently enlarging the net holes with a fine stiletto, and then sewn
+lightly round, the remaining holes being filled with lace stitches
+consisting of fine button-hole stitches, very evenly worked over the
+entire space surrounding the open holes.
+
+To be effective the very finest black silk should be employed. This
+pattern may be worked in applique by placing muslin over net, sewing all
+the outlines in fine overcast stitch, and when finished, carefully
+cutting away the muslin.

+wadding; 2 cork soles.
+
+[Illustration: 208.--Slipper on Java Canvas.]
+
+This slipper is very pretty, and easy to work. It is made of light
+brown Java canvas, and embroidered in point Russe with green filoselle.
+It is lined with green silk, and slightly quilted. The soles are of
+cork. The slipper is trimmed all round with a ruche of green silk ribbon
+three-fifths of an inch wide, pleated in double box pleats. The heel is
+turned down inside. No. 209 shows the pattern of the point Russe stitch
+nearly full size.

+
+210 _and_ 211.--_Medallions in Point Russe_.
+
+Materials: Coloured filoselle, cloth, velvet, cashmere, or silk.
+
+These medallions can be alternated for ornamenting small covers,
+cushions, borders, &c. They are worked with coloured filoselle in point
+Russe, herring-bone stitch, coral stitch, and knotted stitch, on cloth,
+velvet, cashmere, or silk. The middle oval of both medallions contrasts
+with the colour of the ground, and must therefore be worked in applique
+on the latter with herring-bone stitch, before working the outer border.
+The wreath on No. 211 is worked in coral stitch; the knots, which
+imitate small blossoms, in knotted stitch. The choice of colours is left
+to the personal taste of the worker.

+
+Materials: French lawn or cambric; fine black silk.
+
+This butterfly is worked in the finest black silk procurable, in order
+more closely to imitate etching. It is worked in point Russe and scallop
+stitch; the dark shaded scallops are worked in button-hole scallop
+stitch, the stitches being taken very closely together, but not raised
+by the usual method of placing chain stitches beneath the button-hole
+stitches. The outlines and flowers are worked in point Russe, the dot in
+knotted stitch (see No. 73, _Embroidery Instructions_.)
+
+[Illustration: 212.--Butterfly for Handkerchief Corner.]
+
+The initials are embroidered in raised slanting overcast stitch, and
+should be worked with great regularity.

+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s embroidery cotton Nos. 24 and
+30; cambric muslin; Brussels net; flesh-coloured silk; sewing silk of
+the same shade; 1 skein of a darker shade; blue silk; brown silk; gold
+thread.
+
+This style of work is most effective for couvrettes or bed covers. It is
+worked in cambric muslin and silk, over Brussels net.
+
+The arabesque patterns are worked in cambric muslin, the outlines are
+embroidered in overcast, and the material is cut away all round. The
+medallions are made of blue silk; the figures upon them are cut out of
+flesh-coloured silk, and are gummed first upon tissue-paper, then upon
+the blue silk; the figures are further fastened upon the medallions in
+overcast stitch with fine silk of a rather darker shade of flesh-colour.
+The scarfs are cut out of bright rose-coloured silk; the quiver and
+arrows and all the other attributes are worked in gold thread; the hair
+in fine brown silk. The edge of the blue silk medallions is worked round
+in button-hole stitch, but so as to be easily unripped when the
+couvrette has to be cleaned. A border in open ladder stitch is worked
+round them (see No. 81, _Embroidery Instructions_). The openings in the
+centre pattern are also filled in with lace stitches.

+CROCHET
+
+
+
+INSTRUCTIONS.
+
+[Illustration: A Crochet-Needle]
+
+Cotton or thread, wool or silk, with a crochet-needle, are the materials
+required for working crochet. The needle, whether it be steel or bone,
+must be smoothly polished. The long wooden and bone crochet-needles are
+used for wool; for cotton and silk work short steel needles screwed into
+a bone handle are best. The beauty of the crochet-work depends upon the
+regularity of the stitches, as is the case with every other style of
+needlework. The stitches must be elastic, but if too loose they look as
+bad as if too tight. The size of the needle and that of the cotton or
+wool must correspond; work only with the point of the needle, and never
+move the stitch up and down the needle. The cotton with which you work
+must be of the very best quality; for borders, insertions, rosettes,
+imitation of guipure, use Evans's crochet cotton; for couvrettes,
+counterpanes, covers, &c., use knitting-cotton. All crochet-work
+patterns are begun on a foundation chain; there are three kinds of
+foundation chains--the plain foundation, the double foundation, and the
+purl foundation chain.
+
+The plain foundation chain consists of chain stitches.
+
+[Illustration: 216.--Plain Foundation Chain.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 216.--Form a loop with the cotton or other material with
+which you work, take it on the needle, and hold the cotton as for
+knitting on the forefinger and other fingers of the left hand. The
+crochet-needle is held in the right hand between the thumb and
+forefinger, as you hold a pen in writing; hold the end of the cotton of
+the loop between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, wind the
+cotton once round the needle by drawing the needle underneath the cotton
+from left to right, catch the cotton with the hook of the needle and
+draw it as a loop through the loop already on the needle, which is cast
+off the needle by this means and forms one chain stitch. The drawing the
+cotton through the loop is repeated until the foundation chain has
+acquired sufficient length. When enough chain stitches have been made,
+take the foundation chain between the thumb and forefinger of the left
+hand, so that these fingers are always close to and under the hook of
+the needle. Each stitch must be loose enough to let the hook of the
+needle pass easily through. All foundation chains are begun with a loop.

+chain is long enough.

+wind the cotton again round the needle, and at the same time draw the
+cotton through the last loop and through the stitch formed by winding
+the cotton round the needle. Wind the cotton once more round the needle,
+and draw it through the 2 remaining loops on the needle. The 4 chain
+stitches form a kind of scallop or purl. Repeat from *. The following
+crochet stitches require foundation chains like Nos. 216 and 217; they
+are all worked in separate rows excepting the two Nos. 222 and 234. Make
+a loop at the beginning of every row, as has been described (No. 216),

+ILLUSTRATION 227 (_Long Treble_).--These are worked like treble
+stitches, only the cotton is wound twice round the needle; the double
+long treble (illustration 228) is worked by winding the cotton three
+times round the needle. The loops formed by winding the cotton round the
+needle are cast off one by one with one of the loops on the needle. The
+two loops that remain at the end are cast off together after winding the
+cotton round the needle.

+ILLUSTRATION 229-231 (_Cross Treble_).--Illustration 229 shows this
+stitch completed; illustrations 230 and 231 show them in the course of
+the work. Wind the cotton twice round the needle as for a long treble,
+insert the needle into the stitch in which the first half of the cross
+treble is to be worked, wind the cotton round the needle, draw the
+cotton through as a loop, wind the cotton again round the needle and
+cast off together with the same the loop on the needle and the loop
+formed by throwing the cotton forward; you have now 3 loops left on the
+needle, 1 of which has been formed by winding the cotton round the
+needle; missing these, wind the cotton again round the needle, miss the
+2 next stitches of the foundation chain, and draw a loop through the
+third stitch. You have now 5 loops on the needle. Always cast off 2
+loops at a time till only 1 loop remains on the needle. Work 2 chain
+stitches (if you wish to have the stitches more or less) slanting,
+work 1, 2, or 3 chain stitches, missing, of course, the same number of
+foundation chain, work 1 treble stitch, inserting the needle, as shown
+by the arrow on No. 231, into the 2 cross chain of the completed treble
+stitch.

+ILLUSTRATION 232 (_Raised Spots_).--The grounding on which these spots
+are worked consists of double crochet. They are worked across 3 rows of
+the ground, and formed of treble stitches, the spots of one row being
+placed between those of the preceding. Work first 2 rows of double
+stitch, in the 3rd row work first 2 double stitches and then 1 spot as
+follows:--1 treble, inserting the needle into both sides of 1 stitch of
+the first row (the preceding row is missed); the treble stitch is only
+completed so far that 2 loops remain on the needle; then work 2 treble
+stitches in the same stitch as the first, which are also only completed
+as far as the first treble stitch, so that after the 2nd treble there
+remain 3 loops and after the 3rd 4 loops on the needle (see
+illustration). The 4 loops are cast off together by winding the cotton
+once more round the needle and drawing it through. Miss under the spot
+the next double stitch of the preceding row; the spots are repeated at
+intervals of 5 stitches and in every other row.
+
+
+[Illustration: 233.--Hollow Spots.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 233 (_Hollow Spots_).--The ground is worked in double
+crochet (illustration 220). These spots, which appear raised, consist of
+5 treble stitches; they are worked in every other row at intervals of 5
+stitches. For working them leave 1 loop on the needle, insert the needle
+between the 2 long sides of the last-worked double stitch, and work 5
+treble stitches, always inserting the needle into the front part of 1
+stitch of the preceding row. The first 4 treble are completed entirely
+without taking up the loop which was on the needle; with the fifth
+treble stitch only the 3 loops are cast off together by winding the
+cotton round the needle. Miss 1 stitch of the preceding row under the
+spot.
+
+
+[Illustration: 234.--Open-work Spots.]
+

+same side of the work and in the long side of the corresponding stitch
+of the last row but two. After every row with treble stitch comes a row
+in ribbed stitch. At the beginning work 3 rows of ribbed stitch; the
+treble stitches begin only in the 4th row.

+244.--_Star in Crochet_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton No. 80, or with
+No. 8 or 10 for couvrettes.
+
+A number of these stars joined together will make very pretty strips of
+insertion. For this purpose they should be worked with fine cotton. They
+may also be used for trimming collars, cuffs, and cravats, the material
+being cut away underneath. If worked with crochet cotton No. 8 or 10,
+they will make nice couvrettes, bed-quilts, &c.
+
+[Illustration: 244.--Star in Crochet.]
+
+The star is begun by the outer circle. Make a chain of 70 stitches, and
+join it into a circle. * Make 10 chain, miss 3, work 1 extra long
+treble, 1 treble, and 1 double, inserting the needle under the chain,
+then 1 double worked as usual, 1 long double, 2 extra long double, miss
+4, and work 1 double, inserting the needle _under_ the 5th. Repeat 13
+times from * Fasten off, and for the centre of the star work as
+follows:--
+
+1st round: * 10 chain, turn, miss 1 and work 1 double in the next 7
+chain, 1 double in the 1st of the 10 chain, thus forming 1 loop. Repeat
+from * 5 times more.
+
+2nd round: 12 double on the first loop of chain of the first branch, 1
+double in the centre of the branch, 2 chain; slip the stitch which is
+upon the needle in one of the stitches of the foundation chain of the
+outer circle, work 1 double in the first of the 2 chain last made, then
+12 double in the remaining loop of chain of the branch, and 1 double at
+the bottom of the branch. Repeat 5 times more from *. The centre star
+must be joined on to the outer circle at regular distances.

+245.--_Crochet Silk Bag over Rings_.
+
+Materials: 2 skeins each of black, blue, rose, and drab coarse purse
+twist; 8 skeins of the spangled silk for the top part of the bag and
+strings; the tassel for the bottom is made of the silks that are left;
+rings.
+
+Work over a ring in double crochet, with black, 48 stitches and fasten
+off; this is for the centre ring. Then with the rose colour take a ring
+and work 24 stitches in double crochet as before, take a second ring,
+and work 24 double crochet over it without cutting off the silk, work
+over 4 more rings in the same manner, then work on the other side of the
+rings to correspond, join the first and last ring together, and sew in
+the centre ring; this completes the 1st circle. Work 12 more rounds in
+the same way, 3 rose colour, with drab centre, 3 blue with black, 3 drab
+with rose centre, 3 black with blue, join 6 circles of the alternate
+colours to the 1st circle, 1 to each ring, then sew the second ring to
+the corresponding one of the next circle, till the 6 are united; join
+the other 6 circles in the following manner: join one ring to the
+second from the one that was sewed to the 1st circle, join the next ring
+to the corresponding one of the next circle (which will be the one
+opposite to the one sewed in the 1st circle), and repeat, joining the
+other 5 in the same way.
+
+[Illustration: 245.--Crochet Silk Bag.]
+
+For the small diamond make a chain of 5 stitches and unite it, work 4
+long stitches into the circle, make 2 chain, work 1 single stitch to the
+centre of the ring missed in joining the last circle, make 2 chain, work
+4 long into the circle, make 2 chain, and work a stitch of single
+crochet to the centre of the next ring, make 2 chain, work 4 long into
+the same place, make 5 chain, work 4 long into the same place, make 2
+chain, and work a stitch of single crochet to the next ring, make 2
+chain, and join it to the first of the long stitches; this completes the
+diamonds; work 5 more, joining them in the same way, then work over 12
+rings, and join one on each side of every diamond; this completes the
+lower part of the bag. For the top part of the bag work 3 stitches of
+double crochet to the centre of each ring, make 5 chain, and repeat. 1st
+round: Work 1 long stitch, make 1 chain, miss 1 loop, and repeat. Work
+12 more rounds in the same way, working the long stitch into the chain
+stitch of last row. Run some cord in the top of the bag to match one of
+the colours used, and make the tassel for the bottom from the silk that
+is remaining after working the crochet.

+246.--_Crochet Sovereign Purse._
+
+Materials: 1 skein of black purse silk: 1 skein of coloured ditto; a few
+steel beads; and a steel clasp.
+
+The open portion of this purse is worked in coloured, and the raised
+rose and outer border in black, silk, the latter being dotted with steel
+beads. A few rows of plain double crochet are worked, increasing where
+necessary, to make the work lie flat; then 4 rows of loops of chain in
+coloured silk, and then 3 rows of thick double crochet, threading the
+beads first on the silk, and pushing them up to the stitches when
+required.
+
+[Illustration: 446.--Crochet Sovereign Purse.]
+
+The black silk must now be joined on to the centre, and the little
+raised piece worked in treble crochet, inserting the hook on the _upper_
+side of the stitches. Three rounds of treble are executed, and when both
+sides of the purse are finished they should be joined together (except
+where the clasp is put on) by a row of open treble, ornamented with
+beads. This purse is so easy to make, that it might be worked without
+the least difficulty from the illustration.

+
+247.--_Stars in Crochet_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton No. 8 or 20.
+
+This pattern can be used for a couvrette or pincushion cover, according
+to the size of the cotton with which it is worked.
+
+Each star is begun in the centre by a chain of 8 stitches. In the 1st
+stitch work 1 treble, * 4 chain, 1 treble in this same 1st stitch,
+repeat from * 3 times more, 4 chain, 1 slip stitch in the 4th of the 8
+chain. You have thus formed 8 rays, joined to the 1st stitch. Now work
+(without cutting the cotton) the branches, which are begun from the
+centre.
+
+1st branch.--1st round: 18 chain, 1 treble in the 13th, so as to form a
+purl with the last 5, 2 chain, 3 treble with 2 chain between, missing 2
+stitches under the 2 chain, 2 chain, 1 slip stitch in the last of the 18
+chain.
+
+2nd round: 2 double over the 1st 2 chain, 2 double with 1 purl between
+over the next 2 chain, 2 double over the next 2 chain, 1 purl, 7 double
+over the next 5 chain; then, on the other side of the branch, 1 purl, 2
+double, 1 purl, 2 double, 2 double with 1 purl between, 2 double on the
+last 2 chain of the branch, 1 slip stitch in the stitch from which the
+leaf was begun, 5 double over the 4 chain of the circle. Here begins the
+second branch.
+
+1st round of the 2nd leaf: 22 chain, 1 double in the last so as to form
+a circle.
+
+[Illustration: 247.--Stars in Crochet.]
+
+2nd round: 1 double in each of the 10 first chain, in the next stitch
+work 1 double, 1 chain, 1 double to form the point, 1 double in each
+of the 10 remaining stitches, 1 slip stitch in the 1st stitch of the 1st
+round.
+
+3rd round: 3 double, 1 purl, repeat from * twice more, then work in
+double crochet as far as the point, work 2 double with 1 chain between,
+then work the 2nd half of the branch the same as the 1st. Before
+beginning the next leaf, work 5 double on the chain stitches of the
+circle; work 6 branches, repeating alternately the 2 above explained;
+cut the cotton and fasten it on again to the point of one of the
+branches, in order to join them together by the two following rounds:--
+
+1st round: 1 double in the point of one of the leaves, * 4 chain, 1 purl
+under the chain; thus make 5 chain, turn the chain with the crochet to
+the right, insert the needle downwards in the first chain, and make a
+slip stitch, 4 chain, 1 purl under, 4 chain, 1 purl under, 4 chain, 1
+slip stitch in the point of the next leaf, repeat from * five times
+more.
+
+2nd round: * 4 double over the nearest 4 chain; 1 purl as usual--that
+is, above the chain--4 double over the next 4 chain. Now work 1 trefoil
+(thus: 1 chain, 1 purl, 1 chain, 1 purl, 1 chain, 1 double in the 1
+double coming just before the 3 purl). 1 double on each of the next 4
+chain of last round, 1 purl, 5 double, 1 trefoil, repeat five times from
+*.
+
+Join the stars by a few stitches, as seen in the illustration.

+248.--_Crochet Purse over Rings._
+
+Materials: 67 rings; 2 skeins each of cerise and black, and 1 of maize
+coarse purse silk.
+
+Work in double crochet with maize over one ring 38 stitches; this is the
+centre ring for the bottom of the purse.
+
+[Illustration: 248.--Crochet Purse over Rings.]
+
+Then work with cerise colour over a ring 19 stitches, take another ring
+and work 19 stitches, repeat this till you have 6 rings, then work round
+the other half of each ring 19 stitches; and when the 6 are finished,
+join the first to the last to make a circle; sew the maize ring into the
+centre of it, then work over 12 rings with black in the same manner, and
+place them outside the cerise circle. Then work over 16 rings with maize
+colour, and join them beyond the black, but not to lie flat down; they
+are to stand up to form the sides of the purse. Work over 16 rings with
+cerise, and these you can join one to each of the former rounds in
+working the second half of the crochet, as it will save the sewing. Work
+over 16 rings in black, and join them in the same manner to the cerise.
+For the edge, with cerise, work into the centre stitch of the ring a
+stitch of double crochet, make 5 chain, work into the stitch joining the
+8 rings an extra long stitch, make 5 chain, repeat. Then work 4 rounds
+of single open crochet.
+
+6th round: * Work a stitch of double crochet and 1 chain alternately,
+missing 1 loop between each 4 times, then work a long stitch, make 1
+chain, work into the next loop 1 long stitch, make 2 chain, work another
+long stitch into the same place, make 1 chain, work a long stitch into
+the next loop, repeat from *.
+
+7th round: Work into the 2 chain 1 long stitch, make 2 chain, work

+crochet into the 1 chain, repeat from * 3 times more, miss the next 2
+stitches of double crochet, * work a stitch of double crochet into the 1
+chain, make 1 chain, repeat from * 3 times more, then repeat from the
+beginning.
+
+9th round: Work into the 2 chain 1 long stitch, make 2 chain, work
+another long stitch into the same place, repeat the stitches of double
+crochet with 1 chain between, as in last round, then repeat from the
+beginning. 10th and 11th rounds the same as the 9th. Add a tassel at the
+bottom, and strings run into the last row of open crochet complete the

+249.--_Crochet Brioche Cushion_.
+
+Materials: 10 skeins of 12-thread fleecy, of six shades of red (these
+should be most of the darker shades); 2 skeins of white ditto; 1 skein
+of white filoselle.
+
+Make a chain of 196 stitches with the darkest shade of red wool, and
+join it into a circle. Work 1 round of raised spots thus:--Turn the wool
+5 times round the needle, insert the needle in 1 chain, and draw it
+through all the loops, then work 1 slip stitch, insert the needle in the
+next stitch, work 1 double, and begin a fresh spot. Continue in the same
+way all round.
+
+2nd round: Divide the round into 7 parts; work 12 spots with the 3rd
+shade of red, always working 1 double between each spot, and taking care
+to place them between those of preceding round: after 12 spots, work 1
+double, then 12 more, and so on.
+
+3rd round: 3rd shade of red, 11 spots, 1 double.
+
+4th round: 4th shade, 10 spots, 3 double.

+13th round: Same shade, 1 spot, 21 double. The pattern of raised spots
+being now completed, continue to work with the lightest shade of red in
+double stitches, decreasing once above each pattern, so as to close up
+the circle gradually. The white flowers are worked over the plain part
+of the cushion with white wool, and silk for the petals, and a black dot
+in the centre. The cushion is stuffed with horsehair and lined with
+glazed calico. A round of thick pasteboard is stitched in at the bottom,

+_250.--Daisy Pattern for a Crochet Couvrette._
+
+Materials: For a large couvrette, Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Boar's
+Head cotton No. 8; for pincushion covers, mats, and such-like small
+articles, Boar's Head cotton No. 16 or 20.
+
+A pattern of this description is most useful, as it can be converted to
+so many purposes. Counterpanes, couvrettes of every description, mats,

+_254 to 257.--Wicker Arm Chair, covered with Crochet._
+
+Material: Berlin wool in two colours.
+
+[Illustration: 254.--Wicker Arm Chair, covered with Crochet.]
+
+The seat and back of this arm-chair are covered with two round
+couvrettes, worked in crochet with Berlin wool of two colours. They are
+fastened on the chair with woollen braid, finishing off with tassels of
+the same colour. Begin each couvrette in the centre with a foundation
+chain of 6 stitches, with the lightest wool; join them into a circle,
+and work the 1st round in the following manner:--12 double.
+
+2nd round: * 3 chain, 1 double, in the next stitch of the 1st round,
+inserting the needle in the upper part of the stitch; repeat from * 11
+times more; at the end of this round work 1 slip stitch in the 1st chain
+of this round. We shall not repeat any more the repetitions from * to
+the end of the round.
+
+3rd round: * 4 chain, 1 double, in the next scallop of the preceding
+round; at the end of the round 4 chain.
+
+4th round: 4 double in each scallop of the preceding round.
+
+5th round: Begin to work with the darker wool and crochet slip stitch,
+inserting the needle in the front chain of the stitches of the 4th
+round.
+
+The 6th round is worked once more with light wool, and consists entirely
+of double stitch, worked by inserting the needle at the back of the
+stitches of the 4th round, so that the slip stitches appear raised on
+the right side of the work, and form a round of chain stitches. The
+middle part of the couvrette is then finished.
+
+[Illustration: 255.--Pattern for Arm Chair Border.]
+
+[Illustration: 256.--Border for Arm Chair (254).]
+
+Illustration 257 shows it in full size.
+
+7th round: * 2 chain, missing 1 stitch of the preceding round under
+them, 1 double.
+
+8th round: * 3 chain, 1 double, in the next scallop of the preceding
+round.
+
+9th round: 3 double in each scallop.
+
+10th round, like the 5th;
+
+11th round, like the 6th;
+
+[Illustration: 257.--Couvrette for Arm Chair (254).]
+
+12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th rounds, like the 7th--11th;
+
+17th--19th rounds like the 7th--9th.
+
+20th round: Alternately 1 treble with the light wool, 1 treble with the
+dark; but every treble stitch must be cast off with the wool of the
+colour of the next stitch; that is, a light treble stitch with the dark
+wool, and a dark treble stitch with the light wool. Now and then crochet
+2 treble stitches in one stitch of the preceding round, so that the
+couvrette remains perfectly flat.
+
+21st round: 1 double in every stitch.
+
+The 22nd--31st rounds consist of a double repetition of the 7th--11th
+rounds.
+
+The 32nd and 33rd rounds are made in open work like the 7th and 8th
+rounds.
+
+The 34th round is worked in treble stitches like the 20th round. Then
+work the outer border. It consists of chain stitch scallops which are
+worked alternately with dark and light wool. Illustration No. 256 shows
+a part of the border with the treble round in full size. Work from it
+with the light wool 1 double on 1 light treble stitch of the preceding
+round, 5 chain, 1 double, on the next light treble, throw the wool off
+the needle and let it hang over the right side of the work; crochet with
+the dark wool 1 double on the treble stitch between the 2 double of this
+round, leave the wool on the right side of the work; 5 chain, 1 double,
+on the next dark treble. Take the needle again out of the loop, draw the
+wool on to the right side, and work the next chain stitch scallop again
+with the light wool.
+
+Instead of this border, pattern No. 255 may be worked. It consists of 3
+rounds to be worked after the 34th round of the couvrette.
+
+1st round of the border: With dark wool, * 1 double in 1 stitch, of the
+34th round; 1 double, 3 treble, 1 double, in the next stitch; repeat
+from *.
+
+2nd round: With the light wool, * 1 treble, inserting the needle in the
+next treble stitch of the 34th round, thus working over the double
+stitch between the spots of the preceding round; 1 chain.
+
+3rd round * 3 double in each chain stitch of the preceding round. To
+work the 2nd of these 3 double, insert the needle at the same time in
+the upper part of the middle treble of the 1st round.
+
+4th round: Dark wool, * 1 double in each double of the preceding round,
+miss 1, and work 3 treble in the next stitch but one; the last of these
+3 treble is cast off with light wool, miss 1, and continue to work with
+the light wool 1 double in the next stitch but one, miss 1, 3 treble in
+the next stitch, cast off the last with the dark wool, miss 1; repeat
+from *.

+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton No. 30, 40, or
+60.
+
+[Illustration: 258.--Crochet Insertion.]
+
+These insertions are worked with crochet cotton of sizes which depend
+upon the use you wish to make of them. The insertion seen in
+illustration 258 is worked the long way in 8 rows. Make a sufficiently
+long foundation chain, and work the 1st row as follows:--1 slip stitch
+in the 1st stitch of the foundation, * 5 chain, miss 3, 1 double in the
+next stitch but 3, repeat from *.
+
+2nd row: 1 slip stitch in the middle of the 1st 5 chain, * 3 chain, 1
+slip stitch in the middle stitch of the next 5 chain, repeat from *.
+
+3rd row: 1 treble in the 1st stitch, * 1 leaf worked as follows: 6
+chain, then without noticing the loop left on the needle 1 long treble
+in the 2nd and 1 in the 1st of the 6 chain; these stitches are not cast
+off separately, but together with the loop left on the needle. Then 5
+chain, miss 7, 1 treble in the 8th stitch, repeat from *.

+the point of the next leaf, repeat from *.
+
+7th and 8th rows: Like the 1st and 2nd.
+
+
+[Illustration: 259.--Crochet Insertion.]
+
+The insertion seen in illustration 259 is worked in 6 rows, and is begun
+in the centre on a foundation chain sufficiently long not to be worked
+too tight.
+
+1st row: 4 double in the 1st 4 stitches, * 4 double divided in the same
+way on the other side of the foundation chain, inserting the needle in
+the 1st row into the 2 chain. Illustration 260 shows an insertion which
+imitates darned netting; it is worked on a grounding imitating netting
+with raised figures. The grounding consists of 9 rows. Work on a
+sufficiently long foundation chain the 1st row as follows: 1 cross
+treble in the 1st and 3rd stitch, * 2 chain, missing 2 stitches under
+them, 1 cross treble in the 6th and 8th stitch, repeat from *.
+
+2nd row: 1 double in the 1st stitch, * 9 chain, miss 4 under them, 1
+double in the 5th stitch, repeat from *.
+
+3rd to 8th rows: 1 double in the middle stitch of every chain stitch

+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton No. 30.
+
+[Illustration: 261.--Crochet Lace.]
+
+A particular kind of purl makes this border look very like guipure lace.
+Begin with a foundation chain worked in the following manner:--* 3
+chain, the last of them forms 1 purl; this is made by drawing out a long
+loop on the needle, taking the needle out of the loop, inserting it in
+the chain stitch before the last one, drawing the cotton through it, and
+continuing to work so that the loop out of which the needle has been
+drawn forms 1 purl. All the purl must be equally long; to do this more
+easily the loop may be kept on the needle till a chain stitch has been
+worked in that which comes just before the purl, continue the foundation
+chain, and repeat from *.
+
+1st row: 1 long double in the 1st stitch of the foundation, * 1 chain, 1
+slip stitch in the nearest purl of the foundation chain; repeat from *.
+
+2nd row: 1 double in the 1st stitch, * 1 purl, 1 chain, missing 1 stitch
+under it; 1 slip stitch in the slip stitch of the preceding row; repeat
+from *.
+
+3rd row: Like the 1st.
+
+4th row: 1 double in the 1st stitch, * 1 purl, 5 chain, 1 purl, 1 chain,
+missing 5 stitches under them; 1 double in the 6th stitch; repeat from *.

+5th row: 1 long double in the 1st stitch, 3 chain, 1 purl, 1 chain, * 1
+double in the middle of the next 5 chain of the preceding row, 1 purl, 5
+chain, 1 purl, 1 chain; repeat from *.
+
+6th to 9th rows: Alternately like the 4th and 5th rows.
+
+10th row: 1 double in the 1st stitch, * 6 chain, 1 double long treble
+(throw the cotton 3 times round the needle) in the 1st of these chain
+stitches; the stitch is only completed so far as still to leave 2 loops
+on the needle; 1 double long treble in the same chain stitch. This
+stitch is cast off so as to leave in all 3 loops, and the cotton over
+the needle; these loops are cast off together by drawing the cotton once
+through them. This forms 1 leaf, or one-half of the bell-shaped
+patterns. 3 purl, 1 chain, 1 leaf like the preceding one, 1 slip stitch
+in the 1st of the first 6 chain stitches; the other half of the pattern
+is then completed; 1 purl, 5 chain, 1 purl, 1 chain, 1 double in the
+middle stitch of the next scallop of the preceding row, 1 purl, 5 chain,

+7 of single crochet. The edging to be the same as in the former
+d'oyleys. The 1st round of the edging takes up so much space to write,
+that we think it better to leave it to the judgment of the worker. It
+will be seen by the engraving when it is necessary to work a double long
+or long stitch, or a stitch of single or double crochet, and the number
+of chain stitches between must be just sufficient to make the circle
+perfect. The best way is to cut a round of blue paper and place them on
+it from the engraving, then sew them together, and tack them to the
+paper, and work the 1st row of the edging before removing the paper.

+272 _and_ 273.--_Work-Basket in Straw and Silk Crochet-Work_.
+
+Materials: Straw; brown floss silk; brown ribbon, 1-1/4 inch wide; small
+glass beads; a piece of bamboo cane.
+
+This basket has a cover formed of two pieces. It can be employed for
+many things, and is formed entirely of crochet-work with brown silk
+over straw. A ruche trimmed with beads and bows of brown silk ribbon
+form the trimming of the basket. The straws over which you crochet must
+be damp, so as not to be stiff. They should be of unequal length, and
+when you join the two ends of two straws together, try to hide the
+beginning with the other straws. Begin the basket in the centre of the
+bottom part with 46 stitches; then work 9 rounds on either side of this
+first row, working alternately 1 double stitch, 1 or 2 chain stitches,
+the double stitch in the chain stitch of the preceding round, the last
+round over wire.
+
+[Illustration: 273.--Bottom of Work Basket (272).]
+
+It is necessary to increase regularly in all the rounds to keep the work
+flat. When you have finished the bottom begin the border of the basket,
+which is worked of the same piece with it, and consists of 11 rounds.
+
+It is worked in the same way as the bottom, the first 2 rounds without
+increasing the number of stitches, but in the following 9 rounds
+increase 2 double stitches at both ends, in order that the edge may be a
+little wider in the upper part. In the last round add a piece of wire to
+the straws.
+
+[Illustration: 272.--Work Basket in Straw and Crochet.]
+
+The cover of the basket is formed of two pieces. Begin in the middle
+with 28 stitches; crochet each half in rows forming a half circle,
+working backwards and forwards; at the beginning of each row turn the
+straws, and take care that the rows which are finished form a straight
+line. Each half of the cover requires 9 rows; the last one is worked
+over wire. The two halves are united at the straight sides by a brown
+silk ribbon 1-1/4 inch wide, which is sewed on underneath, and which
+forms a sort of hinge; sew on also a piece of wire covered with brown
+silk, so as to make the hinge stronger. Form the handle with a piece of
+bamboo cane 23 inches long, and covered with straws; work over it in
+long stitches of brown silk, and let it go down to the bottom of the
+basket; then sew the cover on the handle with the brown ribbon, which
+forms the two parts. Trim the basket with a ruche of double box pleats,
+ornamented with glass beads and with bows of brown silk ribbon.

+274 _and_ 275.--_Two Crochet Borders_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton Nos. 30 and 80.
+
+No. 274.--Crochet cotton of two sizes is used for this border (No. 30
+and No. 80); it is begun in the centre by a chain of stitches of the
+length required.
+
+[Illustration: 274.--Crochet Border.]
+
+1st row: 1 double in each stitch of the chain.
+
+2nd row: Turn and work on the opposite side of the chain, * 1 double, 11
+chain, miss 7. Repeat from *. 3rd row: * 1 double on the 1st loop of
+chain, 2 chain, 1 double in the centre of the 7 stitches which are under
+the 1st loop of chain, 2 chain, 1 double on the same loop, 5 chain.
+Repeat from *.
+
+4th row: * 1 double in the centre of the 1st loop of chain, 3 chain, 1
+treble in the 1st, but before you complete the treble stitch make 1
+chain. Repeat from *. This row completes the upper half of the border.
+The lower half is worked over the 1st row of plain double crochet.
+
+5th row: 1 double in each of the first 5 stitches, 15 chain, miss 9, 1
+double, come back over the loop of chain and work 1 double in each
+stitch, come back again and work 6 small points, each made thus: 5
+chain, 1 double in the 4th, and 1 treble in each of the 3 others, 1
+double over the round scallop. When you have worked the 6 small points
+repeat from *, but always join the 1st point of one scallop to the last
+point of the next scallop. The pattern inside the scallops is worked in
+2 rows with fine cotton. (See illustration.)
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 275.--Crochet Border.]
+
+No. 275.--The border is begun above the pointed scallops, filled up with
+lace stitches, by making alternately 3 chain, 1 purl (_i.e._, 5 chain
+and 1 slip stitch in the 1st). When the chain is long enough, turn and
+work the 1st row: Alternately 7 chain, 1 double in the centre stitch
+between the 2 purl.
+
+2nd row: Turn, work 1 double in the centre of the 1st loop of 7 chain, 1
+chain, 1 purl, 1 chain, 1 double in the centre of next loop, and so on.
+
+The 3rd row (which is the last) is worked on the opposite side of the
+chain with purl. * In each of the 8 first stitches work 1 double, make
+12 chain, miss the 4 last of the 8 double just worked, and work 1 double
+in the 5th, come back over the loop of chain, and work 7 small points
+over it. For each point make 3 chain, work 1 double in the 2nd, 1 treble
+in the 1st of the 3 chain, 1 double upon the loop of chain. Repeat from
+* 6 times more.
+
+In the following scallops always fasten the first point of one scallop
+to the last point of the preceding scallop. When this row is completed
+fill up the inner part of each scallop with a network of fine thread,
+joining the threads at all the places where they cross each other by 2
+or 3 stitches with a sewing needle.

+276.--_Crochet Antimacassar_.
+
+Materials: 18 reels of Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Boar's Head cotton
+No. 10.
+
+[Illustration: 276.--Crochet Antimacassar.]
+
+This pattern can be adapted for a round couvrette or a square one, and
+is also pretty done in silk for a sofa cushion. Make a chain of 4
+stitches, and unite it.
+
+1st round: Work into 1 loop a long stitch, make 1 chain stitch, work
+another long stitch into the same place, make 1 chain, repeat.
+
+2nd round: 3 long stitches into 1 loop, make 2 chain stitches, miss 1
+loop, and repeat.
+
+3rd round: 1 double crochet into the 2 chain in last round, make 7
+chain, and repeat.
+
+4th round: Into the 7 chain 2 double crochet, 5 long stitches, and 2
+more double crochet, and repeat.
+
+5th round: 1 long stitch into the 1st double crochet in last round, make
+9 chain, and repeat. 6th round: Into the 9 chain 2 double crochet, *
+make 4 chain, work 2 double crochet, repeat from * 3 times more, make 5
+chain, work a stitch of single crochet into the 2nd of the 5, make 1
+chain stitch, and repeat from the beginning of the round. 7th round: 1
+long stitch into the loop formed with the 5 chain, make 12 chain, and
+repeat. 8th round: Into the 12 chain 2 double crochet into successive
+loops, make 4 chain, work 1 double crochet into each of the 2 next
+loops, make 1 chain, work into the 6th loop 1 double crochet, 5 long
+stitches, and another double crochet, make 1 chain, miss 1 loop, work 2
+double crochet into successive loops, make 4 chain, work 1 double
+crochet into each of the 2 next, make 5 chain, and repeat. This
+completes the circle. 120 circles sewn together like the engraving will
+make a good-sized couvrette, 12 in the length, and 10 in the width. If a
+round couvrette is wished, work 1 circle for the centre larger than the
+others; this can be done by repeating the 5th and 6th rounds, then sew 8
+circles round the centre one, and increase the number of circles in each
+row till you have made it the size you wish. For the square one, tassels
+are required for the end and sides; these are made by winding the cotton
+over a cardboard 4 inches deep about 80 times, then twist 8 threads of
+the cotton into a cord, cut the cotton wound on the cardboard at one
+end, make 2 inches of the cord into a loop and tie it firmly with the
+middle of the tassel, then turn it, tie a thread tightly round, about an
+inch below the cord, and net over the head; 40 of these tassels will be
+sufficient.

+277.--_Crochet Insertion_.
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton No. 40.
+
+[Illustration: 277.--Crochet Insertion.]
+
+The patterns of this insertion are worked in a row, and always two
+opposite circles at a time. Make a foundation chain of 16 stitches, join
+them into a circle, then work a 2nd circle consisting again of 16 chain
+stitches. Work round this circle 24 double stitches, and 24 double round
+the 1st circle; after the last stitch begin again at the 2nd circle, and
+work 10 chain scallops as follows:--3 double in the next 3 stitches, * 5
+chain, 2 double in the next 2 stitches, repeat 8 times more, 3 double in
+the last 3 stitches; work in the same manner round the other circle. To
+get to the next pattern, work 4 slip stitches between the 2 circles in
+the middle of the just-completed pattern, leaving the cotton under the
+work and drawing it through the stitch upwards through the loop on the
+needle; 7 chain stitches, and then 2 circles like those just described,
+and so on.

+280 _and_ 281.--_Crochet Rosettes_.
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton No. 4, 24, or
+40.
+
+These rosettes are suitable for trimming cuffs, collars, and bodices, or
+for making couvrettes, according to the size of the cotton with which
+they are worked.
+
+[Illustration: 280.--Crochet Rosette.]
+
+280.--Make a foundation chain of 22 chain; join them into a circle and
+work the 1st round; 44 double.
+
+2nd round: * 7 chain, missing 3 stitches of the preceding round under
+them, 1 double; repeat 10 times more from *.

+282.--_Crochet Trimming, with Embroidered Flowers worked in Applique,
+and Velvet Ribbon_.
+
+[Illustration: 282.--Crochet Trimming, with Embroidered Flowers worked
+in Applique and Velvet Ribbon.]
+
+This trimming consists of 2 strips of crochet insertion, ornamented with
+embroidery patterns worked in applique, and velvet ribbon drawn through.
+They are worked the long way with fine crochet cotton. Begin on a
+sufficiently long foundation chain of stitches which can be divided by
+20, and work the 1st row: 1 chain, * 5 double, on the first 5 stitches
+of the foundation, 1 leaf, as follows:--10 chain, without reckoning the
+loop left on the needle, 1 extra long treble (for which the cotton is
+wound 5 times round the needle) in the second of the 10 chain, a similar
+treble in the first, then cast off the 2 treble stitches together, wind
+the cotton once round the needle, and cast off the last loop with the
+loop left on the needle. Miss under the leaf 15 stitches of the
+foundation, and repeat from *.
+
+2nd row: 5 double on the 5 double of the preceding row, inserting the
+needle in the whole stitches, 15 chain stitches between.
+
+3rd row: * 5 double in the first 5 double of the preceding row, 7 chain,

+repeat from *. These 2 last rows (the third and fourth) are repeated on
+the other side of the foundation chain.
+
+When the 2 strips of insertion are completed, sew them together so that
+2 opposite scallops meet, and ornament them with the embroidery patterns
+and velvet ribbon.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+283.--_Crochet Insertion_.
+
+This pretty insertion is very suitable for cerceaunette covers or
+pillow-cases, and should be worked with middle-sized cotton. If the
+insertion is used for anything but a pillowcase, omit the lower border
+on which the button-holes are made. Begin the insertion in the middle of
+one of the star-like figures, with a foundation chain of 9 stitches;
+join them into a circle by making 1 slip stitch, and crochet thus:--*
+10 chain, 1 slip stitch in the 5th of these chain; this forms 1 purl; 4
+chain, 1 slip stitch in the circle, repeat from * 5 times more. Work 4
+slip stitches in the next 4 chain, then crochet * in the next purl; 5
+double divided by 5 chain, 4 chain, repeat 5 times from *. Fasten the
+thread after having fastened the last 4 chain-stitches with a slip
+stitch to the 1st double stitch of this round. This completes the
+star-like figure. Work on one side of these figures the following
+rows:--
+
+1st row: * 1 treble in the 2nd scallop of the four placed together, 3
+chain, 1 double in the next scallop, 3 chain, 1 treble in the last of
+the 4 scallops, 3 chain, 1 treble in the 1st scallop of the following 4
+placed together, 3 chain, 1 double in the next 2nd scallop, 3 chain, 1
+treble in the 3rd scallop, 3 chain. Repeat from *.
+
+2nd row: 3 treble in the 1st stitch of the preceding row, * miss 3
+stitches, 3 treble in the 4th following stitch. Repeat from *.
+
+3rd row: * 3 treble cast off together as one stitch on the next 3
+stitches of the preceding row, 2 chain. Repeat from *.
+
+4th row: 1 double on the next stitch of the preceding row, * 4 chain, 1
+slip stitch in the 3 double; this forms 1 purl; 3 double on the next 3
+stitches of the preceding row. Repeat from *. After having worked these
+four rows likewise on the other side of the star figures, work over the
+last the following 5 rows for the button-holes:--
+
+1st row: 1 double in the next purl, * 2 chain, 1 double in the next
+purl. Repeat from *.
+
+2nd row: 1 double in each stitch of the preceding row.
+
+3rd row: Alternately 11 double, 7 chain, under which miss 7 stitches.
+4th row: Like the 2nd row.
+
+5th row; * 3 double on the next 3 double of the preceding row, 1 purl (4
+chain, 1 slip stitch in the last double stitch). Repeat from *.

+284.--_Crochet Insertion_.
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton No. 30.
+
+This insertion is worked in our pattern with fine crochet cotton on a
+double foundation chain. For the outer edge work a row of purl stitches
+as follows:--1 double in the 1st stitch, * 1 chain, 1 purl, consisting
+of 5 chain, 1 slip stitch in the 1st 2 chain, 1 double in the next
+stitch but 2; repeat from *. The open-work centre consists of 6 rows of
+scallops; the 1st of these rows is worked on the other side of the
+foundation chain; 1 double in the middle stitch of every scallop, 5
+chain between, then 1 row of slip stitches, and finally a row of purl
+stitches like the 1st row of the insertion. For the raised flowers,
+which are fastened over the grounding at unequal distances, * make a
+foundation chain of 10 stitches, fasten it on over the grounding from
+illustration by taking the needle out of the loop, inserting it into the
+1 chain of the grounding, and drawing the loop through; miss the last of
+the 10 chain, and work back over the others; 1 slip stitch, 1 double, 1
+long double, 3 treble, 1 long double, 1 double, 1 slip stitch, then 1
+slip stitch in the 1st stitch, * 9 chain, missing 5 stitches under them,
+1 double in the 6th stitch; repeat from *. Each following row consists
+of 1 double in the middle stitch of every scallop of the preceding row,
+9 chain between. Then work the 1st row of the border on the other side
+of the insertion; 1 double in the 1st stitch of the foundation,
+inserting the needle into the back part of the stitch; repeat 8 times
+more from *, and the flower is completed.

+285.--_Crochet Garter_.
+
+Materials: Grey thread of medium size; fine red wool; fine round white
+elastic cord; a pearl button.
+
+This garter is worked in close double crochet, over fine elastic cord;
+the border and pattern in red wool, the centre in grey thread.
+
+[Illustration: 285.--Crochet Garter.]
+
+Begin in the middle by a chain of 98 stitches, with red wool; take the
+elastic cord, which must always be stretched out a little, and work over
+it. Work on both sides of the foundation chain; the pattern is completed
+in the course of the two first rounds; the button-hole is made at the
+beginning of the first round; make a loop of 21 stitches, and, when you
+come to it, work over this loop instead of over the foundation chain.
+Increase the number of stitches at either end of the garter, to round it
+off. When the second round is completed work two plain grey rounds, then
+a plain red one. The last round (grey thread) is composed of alternately
+1 double, 1 purl formed of 3 chain, 1 slip stitch in the first, missing
+1 stitch under the 1 purl. Sew on a pearl button to correspond with the
+button-hole. The garter would be both more elegant and more elastic if
+worked entirely in silk.

+286.--_Crochet Trimming for a Lady's Chemise_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton, and a needle
+to match.
+
+This pattern, as can be seen in illustration, is an imitation of old
+guipure lace; it is worked all in one piece for the bosom and sleeves,
+and is part of one of the shoulder-pieces in full size. Both strips of
+rosettes join at that place, and one is continued for the part round the
+bosom and the other for the sleeve. In the pattern there are 42 rosettes
+round the bosom, and 14 round each sleeve. These rosettes are fastened
+one to another in the course of the work. They are made in the following
+manner:--Make a chain of 6 stitches, and join it into a ring. 1st round:
+8 chain, 1 slip stitch in the 4th chain, which forms a purl (the 3 first
+chain are reckoned as 1 treble), 1 chain, 1 treble in the ring, * 5
+chain, 1 slip stitch in the 1st to form a purl, 1 chain, 1 treble in the
+ring. Repeat 6 times from *. Instead of the last treble, work a slip
+stitch to fasten the end of the round to the 3 chain of the beginning,
+which thus form 1 treble. 2nd round: 9 chain (the 3 first to be reckoned
+as 1 treble), * 1 treble on the 1st treble of last round, 6 chain.
+Repeat 6 times from *. 1 slip stitch in the treble at the beginning. 3rd
+round: On each scallop of preceding round work 2 double, 1 purl, 2
+double, 1 purl, 2 double, 1 purl, 2 double. This completes the rosette.
+Each rosette is fastened to the last by joining the 2 middle purl of
+both. In the illustration, which is full-size, the purl that are to be
+joined to those of another rosette are marked by a cross. The joining
+between the part round the bosom and the sleeve is made in the same
+manner. The space left between 4 rosettes is filled up with a star
+formed of chain stitches, marked in our illustration with an asterisk.
+For this star make a chain of 5 stitches, the 1st of which forms the
+centre; slip the loop you have on the needle through one of the 8 purl
+that are free, make 5 chain, 1 double in the centre stitch. Repeat 7
+times from *; then tie the two ends tightly, or sew them together 3 of
+these stars are required for each shoulder.
+
+[Illustration: 286.--Crochet Trimming for a Lady's Chemise.]
+
+For the Border.--It is worked at the same time both round the bosom and
+sleeves. 1st round: * 1 double in the centre purl of the 1st scallop of
+the rosette, which we will call the _first rosette_; 5 chain,
+1 double in the centre purl of the 2nd scallop of the same rosette,
+4 chain; then work the kind of cross which comes between each rosette
+(see illustration). To make this cross throw the cotton 3 times round
+the needle, work 1 double treble in the last purl left free of the 1st
+rosette, keep the last loop on the needle, throw the cotton twice round
+it, and work a double treble in the 1st purl left free in the 2nd
+rosette, throw the thread twice round the needle, work 1 treble with the
+loop left on the needle, make 2 chain, and work 1 treble in the last
+double treble, which completes the cross; make 4 chain. Repeat from * at
+each slit on the shoulders; after the last cross make 6 chain, 1 slip
+stitch in the 2 purl at the end of the slit, 6 chain to come to the next
+space, where a cross is to be made. 2nd round: Work alternately 1
+treble, 2 chain, miss 2; at the slit on the shoulders work 6 double over
+the 6 chain. The two rounds just explained are also worked round the
+upper edge, and finished round the sleeves by the following round:--1
+double in one of the spaces in last round, * 6 chain, 1 double in the
+2nd of the 6 chain, which forms a purl, 1 chain, 1 double on the next
+but one of the last round, 6 chain, 1 double in the 2nd of the 6 chain,
+1 chain, 1 double in the next space. Repeat from *. On the upper edge of
+the bosom, between the 1st and 2nd rounds of the border, work 1 round of
+crosses, but throwing the cotton twice only round the needle, so that
+the treble stitches are not double; make 3 chain between each cross.

+
+KNITTING.
+
+
+
+287.--KNITTING, though considered to be an old-fashioned art, is by no
+means so ancient as lacemaking. Knitting has never entirely quitted the
+hands of English and German ladies; indeed, among all good housewives of
+any civilised country, it is reckoned an indispensable accomplishment.
+Knitting schools have been established of late years both in Ireland and
+Scotland, and Her Majesty the Queen has herself set an example of this
+industry, as well as largely patronised the industrial knitters of
+Scotland. Of the rudiments of this useful art many ladies are at present
+ignorant; it is in the hope of being useful to these that the following
+instructions are offered.
+
+To knit, two, three, four, or five needles, and either thread, cotton,
+silk, or wool are required.
+
+Knitting needles are made of steel, of ivory, or of wood; the size to be
+used depends entirely upon the material employed, whether thread,
+cotton, silk, single or double wool, for knitting. As the size of the
+needles depends upon that of the cotton, a knitting gauge is used (see
+No. 287). The gauge (page 290) is the exact size of Messrs. H. Walker
+and Co.'s knitting gauge. Our readers will remark that English and
+foreign gauges differ very essentially; the finest size of German
+needles, for example, is No. 1, which is the size of the coarsest
+English wooden or ivory needle. Straight knitting is usually done with
+two needles only for round knitting for socks, stockings, &c., three,
+four, and five needles are employed.
+
+[Illustration: 287.--Knitting Gauge.]
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+288.--_Casting On_.
+
+This term is used for placing the first row or round of knitting
+stitches on the needles--"casting them on"--and is done in two ways--by
+"knitting on" the stitches, or as follows:--
+
+Hold the thread between the first and second finger of the left hand,
+throw it over the thumb and first finger so as to form a loop, and pass
+the needle in the loop; throw the thread lightly round the needle, pass
+it through the loop, and draw up the thread; this forms the first stitch
+(see No. 288).
+
+[Illustration: 288.--Casting On.]
+
+
+289.--_To Knit On_.
+
+[Illustration: 289.--Knitting On.]
+
+Take the needle on which the stitches are cast in the left hand, and
+another needle in the right hand--observe the position of the hands (No.
+289). Hold the left-hand needle between the thumb and third finger,
+leaving the first finger free to move the points of the needles. (The
+wonderful sense of touch in the first or index finger is so delicate,
+that an experienced knitter can work without ever looking at her
+fingers, by the help of this touch only--in fact, knitting becomes a
+purely mechanical labour, and as such is most useful.) Insert the point
+of the right-hand needle in the loop or stitch formed on the left-hand
+needle, bring the thread once round, turning the point of the needle in
+front under the stitch, bringing up the thread thrown over, which in
+its turn becomes a stitch, and is placed on the left-hand needle.
+
+
+290.--_Simple Knitting (plain)_.
+
+[Illustration: 290.--Plain Knitting.]
+
+Pass the right-hand needle into the 1st stitch of the left-hand needle,
+at the back throw the thread forward, and with the first finger pass the
+point of the needle under the stitch in forming a fresh stitch with the
+thread already thrown over, as in "knitting on," only, instead of
+placing the newly-formed stitch on the left-hand needle, leave it on the
+right-hand needle, and let the stitch drop off the point of the
+left-hand needle. Continue thus until all the stitches are taken from
+the left to the right-hand needle, and the row is then complete.
+
+
+291.--_To Purl, Pearl, or Seam_.
+
+Seaming or purling a stitch is done by taking up the stitch _in front_
+instead of at the back, throwing the thread over and knitting the stitch
+as in plain knitting; but before beginning to purl, the thread must be
+brought in front of the needle, and if a plain stitch follows, the
+thread is passed back after the purl stitch is made (see No. 291).
+[Illustration: 291.--Purling.]
+
+
+292.--_To Increase_.
+
+Increasing or making a stitch is done by throwing the thread once round
+the needle and in the next row knitting it as an ordinary stitch.
+
+[Illustration: 292.--Increasing.]
+
+
+293.--_To Decrease_.
+
+This is done in two ways: _firstly_, taking up two stitches and knitting
+them together as one; _secondly_, by taking up a stitch without knitting
+it, called slipping, then by knitting the following stitch in the usual
+way, and then slipping the 1st (unknitted) over the 2nd (knitted) (see
+No. 293). When it is necessary to decrease two stitches at once, proceed
+thus:--Slip one, knit two stitches together, then slip the unknitted
+stitch over the two knitted together.
+
+[Illustration: 293.--Decreasing.]
+
+
+294.--_Round Knitting_.
+
+To knit a round four or five needles are used; it is thus that
+stockings, socks, cuffs, mittens, &c., are made. To knit with four
+needles, cast on, say, 32 stitches upon one needle, insert a second
+needle in the last stitch of the first, and cast on 30 stitches; proceed
+in a similar way with a third needle, but casting on 28 only; when this
+is done, knit the two extra stitches on the first needle on to the last;
+this makes 30 stitches upon each needle, and completes the round.
+
+
+295.--_Casting Off_.
+
+Knit two stitches, and with the left-hand needle slip the first stitch
+over the second; continue this to the end of the row. _Note_.--The last
+knitted row, before casting off, should be knitted loosely.
+
+
+296.--_To Pick up a Stitch_.
+
+This is done by taking up the thread between two stitches and forming a
+stitch with it.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The following Designs of New Stitches can be used for a variety of
+work:--
+
+297.--_Peacock's Tail Pattern_.
+
+Needles, wood or ivory; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton.
+
+[Illustration: 297.--Peacock's Tail Pattern.]
+
+Cast on a number of stitches divisible by nine, as it takes nine
+stitches for each pattern, and two for each border; the border, which
+is in plain knitting, will not be mentioned after the first row.
+
+1_st Row_.--2 plain for border; 2 plain *, make 1, 1 plain, repeat this
+four times from *, make 1, 2 plain; repeat from the beginning--then 2
+plain for border.
+
+2_nd Row_.--2 purl, 11 plain, 2 purl; repeat.
+
+[Illustration: 298.--Spiral Stitch.]
+
+3_rd Row_.--Take 2 together, 11 plain, take 2 together; repeat.
+
+4_th Row_.--Purl 2 together, purl 9, purl 2 together; repeat.
+
+5_th Row_.--Take 2 together, 7 plain, take 2 together.
+
+Begin from the 1st row.
+
+Thirteen stitches are large enough for a stripe for a sofa-cover. These
+stripes should be sewn together after all are finished.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+298.--_Spiral Stitch_.
+
+Materials: Needles, thick steel or bone; double wool.
+
+This stitch is far more effective worked in thick wool than in cotton.
+It is done in stripes alternately wide and narrow. For wide stripes cast
+on twenty-one stitches, for narrow fifteen; this without counting the
+first and last stitch, the first being slipped, the last always plainly
+knitted.
+
+1_st Row_.--Purl 3 together to end of row.
+
+2_nd Row_.--Make 1, * 1 plain, make 2, repeat from * end by making the
+last stitch before the plain knitted one at end of row.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration 299.--Knotted Stitch.]
+
+299.--_Knotted Stitch_.
+
+Materials: Needles, wood or ivory; double wool.
+
+Cast on 11 stitches.
+
+1_st Row_.--All plain, throwing the wool twice round the needle before
+each stitch.
+
+2_nd Row_.--Each stitch on the needle is now composed of 3 threads of
+wool: knit the first plain, the second purl, the third plain; cast off
+the second over the third, and the first over the second; this leaves
+but one stitch; repeat from first row until a sufficient length is
+obtained. This pattern makes very pretty borders.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+300.--_Knitted Moss Borders_.
+
+Materials: Steel needles; moss wool of several shades of green.
+
+Cast on enough stitches for double the width required, say twenty, and
+knit very tightly in plain knitting, row by row, until a sufficient
+length has been obtained. Cut off and place the strip on a sieve over a
+basin of boiling water, and cover it over. When it has absorbed the
+steam, and while wet, iron it with a box-iron. Then cut the strip down
+the centre, and unravel the wool on each side. The threads of wool all
+curling, resemble moss. They are held firmly by the selvedge of the
+knitting.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+301.--_German Brioche Stitch_
+
+Materials: Wood or ivory needles; wool.
+
+Cast on an even number of stitches.
+
+All the rows are knitted as follows:--Slip 1, taken as for purling,
+make 1, take 2 together. In the following rows the made stitch must
+always be slipped, the decreased stitch and the slipped stitch of the
+previous row knitted together.
+
+[Illustration: 301.--German Brioche Stitch.]
+
+Ordinary Brioche Stitch is made by casting on an even number of
+stitches, and working the rows as follows:--
+
+Make 1, slip 1, take 2 together; repeat. _Note_.--The made stitch and
+the slipped stitch of the previous row must always be knitted together,
+and the decreased stitch of that row slipped.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *

+
+
+
+NETTING.
+
+302.--NETTING is one of the prettiest and one of the easiest
+accomplishments of a lady. The materials are simple, while the effects
+produced by good netting are most elegant and of great durability. One
+great advantage of netting is that each stitch is finished and
+independent of the next, so that if an accident happens to one stitch it
+does not, as in crochet or knitting, spoil the whole work.
+
+Netting, so easy to do, is most difficult to describe. The materials
+required are--a netting-needle and mesh (see illustration No. 302).
+These are made of bone, of wood, of ivory, and most commonly of steel.
+The wood, bone, and ivory are only used for netting wool, the steel for
+silk, cotton, &c.
+
+The needle is filled by passing the end of the thread through the little
+hole at the left-hand point, and tying it; then the thread is wound on
+the needle as on a tatting shuttle. The needles are numbered from 12 to
+24; these last are extremely fine. The meshes correspond to the sizes of
+the needles, and are made of the same materials. The larger the size of
+the stitch required the thicker the mesh must be selected; indeed, large
+hat meshes are often used for some patterns. A stirrup to slip over the
+foot to which the foundation is attached is required by those who do
+not use a netting cushion, placed before them on the table and heavily
+weighted; to this the foundation is fastened.
+
+The stirrup is made of a loop of ribbon, to which the foundation is
+tied. Some ladies work a pretty stirrup of the exact shape of a
+horseman's stirrup; a loop of ribbon is passed through this, and the
+foundation fixed as before.
+
+[Illustration 302.--Needle and Mesh.]
+
+303.--_To Net_.
+
+Place the mesh under the thread, between the thumb and finger of the
+left hand; it must rest on the middle of the finger and be held only by
+the thumb (see illustration No. 303). Take the needle in the right hand,
+pass the thread over the middle and ring finger and over the mesh, pass
+the needle upwards and behind the mesh in the large loop which forms the
+thread round the fingers, and at the same time through the first stitch
+or loop of the foundation. Draw the needle out, retaining the loops on
+the fingers and dropping them off, the little finger being the last to
+release the thread. As the thread tightens and the knot is firm, the
+loop on the little finger should be drawn up quickly and smartly. The
+next stitches are precisely similar, and row upon row is formed in the
+same manner. Having learnt the stitch, the next task is to make a
+foundation. Tie a large loop of strong thread on the stirrup ribbon, and
+net fifty stitches into this loop, then net four or five rows, and the
+foundation is ready.
+
+[Illustration: 303.--Netting.]
+
+Simple netting as above explained forms diamonds or lozenges. When a
+piece of netting is finished it is cut off the foundation, and the
+little ends of thread that held the stitches are drawn out.
+
+304.--_Square Netting_.
+
+Is done precisely in the same manner as plain netting, only begin from
+one stitch, then net two stitches into this first, and increase by
+making two in the last loop of every row. As soon as the right number of
+stitches is complete diminish exactly in the same way by netting two
+stitches as one at the end of each row until one stitch alone remains.
+These squares are used for guipure d'art and for darning on.
+
+305.--_Round Netting_
+
+Is nearly similar to plain netting. A little difference exists in the
+way of passing the needle through the stitch; this is shown in No. 305.
+After having passed the needle through the stitch it is drawn out and
+passed from above into the loop just made. This stitch is very effective
+for purses.
+
+[Illustration: 305.--Round Netting.]
+
+306.--_Diamond Netting_
+
+Is often called "pointed netting," and is made by netting from one
+stitch, increasing one stitch at the end of each row, and decreasing in
+the same way, as described at page 303.
+
+307.--_To Net Rounds_.
+
+To form a circle, as for a purse, the needle must pass through the first
+stitch, keeping the last three or four on the mesh and removing this
+when required by the work.
+
+308.--_"English" Netting_
+
+Is made as follows:--Net a row of plain netting, begin the second row by
+netting the second stitch, then net the first; repeat, always passing by
+one stitch and taking it up.
+
+_3rd Row_.--Plain.
+
+_4th Row_.--Begin by a plain stitch, then continue as in the 2nd row.
+
+_5th Row_.--Plain.
+
+[Illustration: 308.--"English" Netting.]
+
+309.--_Lace Edging_.
+
+Begin by one stitch and net two in one at the end of each row until as
+many stitches are required for the narrowest part of the edge. *
+Increase one then in the two loops until the point of the edge or
+scallop is reached; at the next row leave the squares which form the
+point, and begin from *.
+
+310.--_Open Lace_.
+
+This kind of edging is made with two meshes of different sizes and
+extremely fine crochet cotton.
+
+Tie the thread to the foundation, net 3 rows with the small mesh of the
+required length.
+
+_4th Row_.--On the large mesh, one stitch in each stitch.
+
+_5th Row_.--On the small mesh take 3 stitches together to form 1 loop;
+repeat to end of row.
+
+_6th Row_.--On the large mesh make 5 loops in each stitch; repeat to end
+of row.
+
+[Illustration: 310.--Open Lace.]
+
+_7th Row_.--On the small mesh, one loop in each of the 4 first stitches,
+pass over the 5th, repeat to end.
+
+_8th Row_.--On the small mesh make a loop in each of the two first
+stitches, pass over the 4th; repeat.
+
+_9th Row_.--On the small mesh make a loop in each of the two first
+stitches, pass over the 3rd; repeat.
+
+This lace is often used in fine wool of two colours to trim opera-caps,
+children's hoods, &c.
+
+311.--_Shell Border_.
+
+This border is intended as an edging for square netting for
+couvrettes, d'oyleys, &c. The mesh must be three times as
+long as that employed for the square netting.
+
+Make 12 stitches in the first stitch of the edge, pass over 8,
+make 12 in the ninth, and repeat. Then take the mesh used
+for the square netting, and net one stitch in each stitch, take
+a still smaller mesh, and complete by adding another row of
+one stitch in each stitch.
+
+This border forms a very appropriate edging for all articles
+in square netting, as couvrettes, mats, also for trimming guipure
+d'art work, and should be netted in the row of holes edging the
+work; two sets of shells must be worked at the corners when
+a little fulness is required.

+
+
+312.--_Knitted Sock for a Child._
+
+Materials for 1 pair: 1 ounce of single Berlin wool; 1 yard of narrow
+pink or blue ribbon; 2 fine steel pins.
+
+This sock fits well, and is easy to make. It is knitted upon two pins,
+backwards and forwards. Cast on 22 stitches and knit 22 rows, but
+increase once at the end of every other row on the right side of the
+work, so that there are 33 stitches in the 22nd row. Now cast off 28
+stitches and knit 12 rows, increasing 1 stitch at the end of every other
+row. Now 12 more rows, decreasing 1 stitch at the end of every other
+row; this forms the toe. Cast on 28 stitches on the same needle, and
+knit 22 rows, decreasing 1 stitch at the end of every other row, and
+cast off. Pick up the 68 stitches on the upper part of shoe, and knit 20
+rows, alternately 2 plain and 2 purl rows, decreasing 1 stitch on each
+side of the 12 stitches in every other row, which forms the toe and
+front of sock. Knit 14 rows of 2 plain, 2 purl stitches alternately,
+then 3 open rows with 1 plain row between. The open rows are worked as
+follows:--* Purl 2 together, purl 1, make 1, repeat *, 3 plain rows, 1
+open row, 1 plain row, and cast off. The sock is sewn together down the
+back of leg, centre of sole, and the point joined like a gusset to form
+the toe.

+314.--_Knitted Sleeping Sock._
+
+Materials for one pair: 4 ounces white fleecy, 3 ply; 1 ounces light
+blue fleecy.
+
+[Illustration: 314.--Knitted Sleeping Sock.]
+
+These socks are knitted with white and blue wool in a diamond pattern,
+and in rounds like a stocking. Begin at the upper part of the sock; cast
+on 103 stitches with blue wool on pretty thick steel knitting-needles,
+and knit 20 rounds of the diamond pattern as follows:--
+
+1st round: Quite plain.
+
+2nd round: Purled; both these rounds are worked with blue wool.
+
+3rd to 6th rounds: Knitted plain with white wool.
+
+7th round: With blue wool; knit 3, draw the wool through the next stitch
+of the 2nd round worked with blue wool, draw it out as a loop, keep it
+on the needle, knit again 3 stitches, and so on. 8th round: With blue
+wool; the loop which has been taken up on the preceding round is purled
+off together with the preceding stitch. Repeat the 3rd and 8th rounds
+twice more; the loop of one round must be placed between those of the
+preceding one. Then knit with white wool 31 rounds, alternately 2
+stitches knitted, 2 stitches purled, then work the foot in the diamond
+pattern in the same way as usual for a stocking. The heel is formed by
+leaving 23 stitches on each side the seam stitch, and knitted backwards
+and forwards in the diamond pattern. At the toe decrease so that the
+decreasings form a seam on both sides of the toe. This is obtained by
+knitting the 3rd and 4th stitches of the 1st needle together; on the 2nd
+needle slip the 4th stitch before the last, knit the next stitch and
+draw the slipped stitch over the knitted one; decrease in the same
+manner on the other 2 needles of this round. Repeat these decreasings
+exactly in the same direction and at the same places, so that there are
+always 4 stitches between the 2 decreasings at the end and at the
+beginning of 2 needles; they always take place after 3 or 2 plain
+rounds, and at last after 1 plain round. The remaining stitches are
+knitted off 2 and 2 together. To complete the sock, the outline of the
+sole is marked by working slip stitches with blue wool in crochet all
+round it; work also slip stitches on the selvedge stitch of the heel.
+The stocking is finished off at the top with a double round of loops in
+blue wool, worked over a mesh four-fifths of an inch wide.

+
+_315 and 316.--Netted Fichu or Cape._
+
+Material: Fine wool, or white and blue silk; netting needle and
+meshes.
+
+This fichu or cape is made either with fine wool or with silk used three
+or four times double. It may be worn as an evening wrap, either over a
+cap or on the hair, or as a necktie. The ground in our pattern is white,
+the border blue. The illustration of the ground and of the border, in
+full size, will serve as a guide for the size of the meshes to be used.
+For the ground cast on the first mesh, with white silk, 56 stitches;
+work 2 rows on the 56 stitches. From the 3rd row, always miss the last
+stitch, so that each row is decreased 1 stitch. Continue in this manner
+till the 39th row, when there will be but 19 stitches left. From the
+40th row, miss 2 stitches at the end of each row. The ground is
+completed with the 46th row. The 1st row of the work is the _cross-way
+side_; the last, the _point at the bottom_; fasten on the blue silk to
+the 1st stitch of the 1st row, and on a larger mesh work 1 row round the
+ground of the fichu, not forgetting that the stitch on the outer edge at
+the sides must always be taken, and 2 stitches made in the 5th, 10th,
+14th, [Illustration: 315.--Netted Fichu, or Cape, for Evening Dress.]
+18th, 21st, 23rd, and 25th stitches at the sides, as well as in each of
+the 2 middle stitches of the last row; in each of the other stitches 1
+stitch should be made. On the corners of the sides increase _once_, on
+the cross-way side, seven times in all. This forms the 1st round of the
+edging or lace.
+
+[Illustration: 316.--Showing the Netting full size for Border of Fichu.]
+
+2nd round of the lace: In each stitch make 2 stitches--still on the
+larger mesh. 3rd round: Always miss the small flat scallop formed in
+last row, and work 2 stitches in the stitch which forms a tight loop.
+Keep thus the same number of stitches, with which work 6 more rounds.
+For the last round, work 1 stitch in each _tight_ loop.

+_317.--Lady's Knitted Purse._
+
+Materials: 2 skeins of black purse silk; 2 skeins of scarlet ditto;
+black jet beads; a steel clasp with chain; a tassel of black beads; 5
+steel knitting-needles.
+
+[Illustration: 317.--Lady's Knitted Purse.]
+
+This purse is knitted with black and scarlet purse silk, and ornamented
+with black beads and a black bead tassel. Begin the purse with the black
+silk in the centre of the bottom part, and cast on for one part of it 7
+stitches. Knit 14 rows on these backwards and forwards, in such a manner
+that the work is knitted on one side and purled on the other. The 1st
+stitch of every row is slipped, the 1st row of this part is purled. * On
+that side where hangs the thread with which you work take the back chain
+of the 7 selvedge stitches of the part you have just knitted on a
+separate needle, and knit another part, which must have 15 rows, and the
+1st row of which is knitted. Repeat 10 times more from *. The stitches
+of several parts can be taken on the same needle, so as not to be
+hindered in working by too many needles. When the 12th part is
+completed, take the selvedge stitches on the left hand on another
+needle, cast them off together with the cast on stitches of the 1st
+part, and fasten the silk thread. Then take the 7 right-hand selvedge
+stitches of one black part on a needle, take the red silk on which the
+beads have been strung and work 15 rows on these stitches, the 1st row
+from the wrong side, and therefore purled; in the 1st, as well as in all
+the other purled rows, the last stitch must be purled together with the
+next stitch of the next black part. In the purled rows, moreover,
+excepting in the first and last one, a bead must be worked in after
+casting off the 2nd, 4th, and 6th stitches. The stitch must be worked by
+inserting the needle into the back part, and in drawing through the silk
+which has been thrown forward, let the bead slide through the stitch so
+that it is on the right side of the work. In the following knitted row,
+the needle must also be inserted into the back part of the bead stitch.
+When 12 such red parts have been completed, work again 12 black parts on
+the selvedge stitch of the same, in which the beads are not knitted in,
+but sewn on afterwards, when the purse is completed. Then work 3 times
+more alternately 12 red and 12 black parts; when the last 12 black parts
+have been completed cast off the stitches of the last black part
+together with the selvedge stitches, the 1st on the wrong side; the
+stitches of the 6th part are cast off in the same manner together with
+the selvedge stitches of the 7th. The red parts which remain to be
+worked on the black part are thus lessened by 2; the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th,
+and the 7th, 8th, and 9th of these parts must be by 6 rows longer. Then
+gather all the stitches and selvedge stitches of the 10 parts on 2
+needles, in such a manner that the 2 black parts, the stitches and
+selvedge stitches of which have been cast off together, are placed on
+the sides of the purse, and knit as follows with black silk, first on
+the stitches of the one needle, and then on those of the other:--1 row
+knitted, knitting together every 3rd and 4th stitch; then work 3 rows
+backwards and forwards on the same number of stitches, which must be
+knitted on the right side; then work 8 rows more in the same manner,
+casting off the 2 first stitches of the 8 rows. Then cast off all the
+remaining stitches, sew the beads on the black parts from illustration;
+also the clasp and bead tassel.

+
+318 to 320.--_Knitted Antimacassar or Berceaunelle Cover._
+
+Materials: Grey and violot fleecy wool.
+
+[Illustration: 318.--Square for Antimacassar.]
+
+This antimacassar, part of which is seen on No. 320, smaller than full
+size, is made of rosettes and small squares, which are knitted
+separately with violet and grey fleecy wool with fine knitting-needles.
+In the middle of each rosette sew on a tatted circle of grey wool. The
+edge of the antimacassar is ornamented with a grey woollen fringe. For
+each rosette cast on 6 stitches with violet wool, and knit 12 rows
+backwards and forwards in such a manner that the work is knitted on one
+side and purled on the other: the first of these 12 rows is purled, the
+first stitch of every row is slipped; * then take the first five
+selvedge stitches of the knitted part on a separate needle (on the side
+where the end of wool hangs down, leaving it unnoticed for the present),
+inserting the needle into the back chain of the stitch (the selvedge
+stitch which is next to the cast-on stitch remains, therefore, unworked
+upon), and knit on these a new part, which must have 13 rows; the first
+row is knitted, and in this row work 2 stitches in the first stitch, one
+purled and one knitted, so that this new part is equally six stitches
+wide. Repeat 8 times more from *. After having worked several parts, the
+stitches can, of course, be taken on the same needle, so as not to
+increase the number of needles. When the 10th part is com-* *pleted,
+take the selvedge stitches of the left-hand side of the same on a
+separate needle, cast them off with the cast-on stitches of the first
+part, and fasten the wool. Then take the 6 selvedge stitches on the
+right hand of one part on a separate needle; take the grey wool, and
+work on these stitches 13 rows backwards and forwards; the first row is
+knitted; it is worked on the right side of the work; in this, and in
+every following _knitted_ row, knit the last stitch together with the
+next stitch of the next violet part. When 10 such grey parts are
+completed (each of the remaining 9 parts consists of 13 rows, and begins
+with one knitted row), take all the stitches and the selvedge stitches
+of these parts on four needles and knit with these stitches, also with
+grey wool 1 row knitted, in which the 6 selvedge stitches must be
+decreased to 3 by knitting always 2 stitches together as 1 stitch; each
+of the other stitches is knitted as usual. Then purl 2 rows with violet
+wool, and cast off.
+
+[Illustration: 319.--Rosette for Antimacassar.]
+
+[Illustration: 320.--Part of Antimacassar.]
+
+For the tatted circle in the centre of the rosette, work with grey wool
+a circle consisting of 1 double, and 11 times alternately 1 purl 3-10ths
+of an inch long, 2 double, then 1 purl and 1 double. The circle is sewn
+on the rosette, from illustration, with grey wool. No. 319 shows such a
+rosette full size. The small squares (_see_ No. 318) are worked with
+grey wool; cast on 36 stitches, join the stitches into a circle, and
+purl 2 rows. To form the corners, knit together 4 times 2 stitches after
+every 7 stitches in the first of these two rounds, in the second round
+knit together 2 stitches after every 6 stitches; these decreasings and
+those of the other rounds must always take place, at the same places as
+in the preceding round. Then take the violet wool, and knit 7 rows; in
+the first of these knit 4 times 2 stitches together after intervals of 5
+stitches; no decreasings take place in the 2nd, 4th, and 6th rows; in
+the 3rd row knit together 4 times 3 stitches as 1 stitch, and in the 5th
+and 7th rows 4 times 2 stitches as 1 stitch. After the 7th round, the
+remaining stitches are cast off together as 1 stitch. Then fasten the
+wool and cut it off. Lastly, sew the rosettes and squares together from
+No. 320 for a cover, and edge it round the border with a fringe of grey
+wool.

+[Illustration: 321.--Knitted Border.]
+
+321.--_Knitted Border._
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s No. 10 or No. 50 knitting
+cotton.
+
+If knitted with thick cotton, this border will be suitable for trimming
+a quilt or berceaunette cover; if, on the contrary, fine cotton is used,
+the pattern will form a very pretty collar for a little boy or girl.
+
+To make a collar, begin by a chain of 220 stitches, and work 6 rows
+backwards and forwards alternately, knitting 4 stitches and purling 2.
+
+In the 2nd, 4th, and 6th rows the 4 stitches are purled, and the 2 are
+knitted.
+
+7th row: * Purl 2, make 1, knit 2, purl 2. Repeat from *.
+
+8th row: Alternately purl 5, knit 2. All the rows with _even_ numbers
+are knitted like this, except that the number of the knitted stitches
+are increased by 2 in each of them. We will not, therefore, henceforth
+mention these rows.
+
+9th row: * Knit 2, make 1, knit 1, make 1, knit 2, purl 2. Repeat from
+*.
+
+11th row: * Knit 2, make 1, knit 3, make 1, knit 2, purl 2. Repeat from
+*.
+
+13th row: * Knit 2, make 1, knit 5, make 1, knit 2, purl 2. Repeat from
+*. The pattern is continued in the same manner. The small gores formed
+between the ribs are increased by 2 stitches in every second row. Each
+of these gores has 13 stitches in the 21st row, which is the last. Cast
+off all the stitches after this row.
+
+Take a crochet needle, and with the same cotton as that used for the
+knitting work 1 stitch of double crochet in every stitch of the
+selvedge, then the 2 following rows for the edging. 1st row: Alternately
+1 treble, 1 chain, under which miss 1.
+
+2nd row: Alternately 1 double over 1 treble of preceding row, 1 purl
+(that is, 5 chain and 1 slip stitch in the first), under which miss 1.
+Over the first row of the knitting work 1 row of close double crochet.
+The border is now completed.

+
+322.--_Knee-cap in Knitting._
+
+Materials: For 1 pair, 4 oz. pink 4-thread fleecy wool, and a small
+quantity of white ditto.
+
+Begin each knee-cap by casting on with pink wool 114 stitches, equally
+divided upon 4 needles, and joining them into a circle. Upon this number
+of stitches work 47 rounds, alternately knitting and purling 2 stitches.
+In the 48th round begin the gore which covers the knee; it is worked
+separately backward and forwards, always alternately knitting and
+purling 2 stitches.
+
+[Illustration: 322.--Knee-cap in Knitting.]
+
+After 2 rows change the pattern, so as to form small squares Knit the
+first row of this gore upon 26 stitches slipped off from the last row on
+to a separate needle. At the end of each following row knit the nearest
+stitch of the nearest needle, so as to increase 1 stitch in each row of
+the gore.
+
+Continue in this way until only 42 stitches remain of the ribbed part.
+After this work the remainder of the gore separately, decreasing once at
+the beginning and end of each row till only 26 stitches remain; then
+take up 23 stitches of the selvedge on each side of these 26 stitches,
+and work 47 rounds, alternately knitting and purling 2 stitches.
+
+The edging at the top and bottom of the knee-cap is worked in crochet.
+With white wool make a chain of 50 stitches; turn and work 1 row of
+crochet _a tricoter_; then work a second row thus: the first part, as
+usual, with white, but coming back, with pink make 4 chain between each
+stitch, work in the same way on the other side of the foundation chain,
+thus forming a small ruche, and sew it on to the edge of the knitting.

+323.--_Knitted Neckerchief in Black Shetland Wool._
+
+Material: Black Shetland wool.
+
+This three-cornered neckerchief is knitted in the following pattern
+(commencing at the corner).
+
+1st row: slip 1, make 1, knit 2 together, inserting the needle into the
+back part of the stitch, slip 1, make 1, knit 2 together.
+
+2nd row: Knit 1, purl 1 in the stitch formed by throwing the wool
+forward in the preceding row; the other stitches are purled. In the next
+row the holes are alternated; the neckerchief must of course be
+increased at the beginning and end of every other row. It measures at
+the upper edge 1 yard 16 inches across from one corner to the other; the
+lower corner is rounded off. The neckerchief is edged with a knitted
+lace.
+
+[Illustration: 323.--Knitted Neckerchief in Shetland Wool.]
+
+The lace is worked in rows backwards and forwards, the cross way. Cast

+_324 and 325.--Knitted Bodice without Sleeves._
+
+Materials: 4 ounces black, 3-1/2 ounces purple fleecy; black silk
+elastic; a steel buckle; 9 black bone buttons.
+
+This bodice is knitted in brioche stitch with black and purple wool, so
+that the raised ribs appear black on one side and purple on the other.
+The bodice fits quite close. It is fastened in front with black bone
+buttons and a steel buckle. Two strips of silk elastic are knitted in at
+the bottom. Begin at the bottom of the bodice with black wool, and cast
+on 170 stitches. The needles must be rather fine, and the knitting not
+too loose. Work backwards and forwards 24 rows as follows:--Slip the 1st
+stitch, alternately throw the wool forward, slip 1 as if you were going
+to purl it, and knit 1. In the next row knit together the stitch which
+has been slipped and the stitch formed by throwing the wool forward,
+slip the knitted stitch, after having thrown the wool forward. In the
+25th row take the purple wool and work 1 row as before.
+
+[Illustration: 324.--Knitted Bodice without Sleeves (Back).]
+
+[Illustration: 325.--Knitted Bodice without Sleeves (Front).]
+
+Now work alternately 1 row with black wool and 1 row with purple, but as
+the wool is not cut off, the brioche stitch must be alternately knitted
+and purled. Work always 2 rows on the same side from right to left. The
+following 26th row is worked with black wool in common brioche stitch,
+only the slipped stitch of the preceding row is purled together with the
+stitch formed by throwing the wool forward. 27th row: Turn the work,
+with purple wool purled brioche stitch. 28th row: On the same side with
+black wool knitted brioche stitch. After having worked 40 rows all in
+the same manner, begin the front gore. Divide the stitches upon three
+needles, 82 stitches on one needle for the back, and 44 stitches for
+each front part on the two other needles. Then work the first 11
+stitches of the left front part (this row must be worked on that side of
+the work upon which the ribs appear purple) in knitted brioche stitch;
+the 11th stitch must have a slipped stitch, with the wool thrown
+forward, therefore it is a purple rib. After this stitch begin the gore
+with the following 13 stitches. The ribs are then worked so that a
+purple one comes over a black one, and a black one over a purple one. Do
+not work upon the following black stitch; knit the following stitch with
+the one formed by throwing the wool forward. Throw the wool forward, and
+then only slip the black stitch which had been left, so that it comes
+behind the stitch which has just been knitted. This crossing of the
+stitch is repeated once more, then knit the following stitch together
+with the one formed by throwing the wool forward, throw the wool
+forward, slip the crossed black stitch and the two following single
+black stitches. The slipped stitch and the stitch formed by throwing the
+wool forward before the 3rd single black stitch are then knitted
+together, so that the crossed stitches are placed in opposite
+directions. The three black stitches which are knitted off together as 1
+stitch in the next row form the middle line of the front gore, and are
+continued in a straight line to the point of the gore. The crossing
+takes place twice in this row, but now the black stitch is slipped
+first. After the 24th stitch knit together the following stitch with the
+stitch formed by throwing the wool forward. Then continue to work in
+common brioche stitch to the other front part, where the gore begins
+before the 24th stitch from the end. In the next row, which is worked in
+purled brioche stitch with black wool, take up the black loop between
+two purple ribs after the 11th stitch; purl it so as to form the stitch
+which is missing at that place. The 3 slipped stitches in the preceding
+row are purled together as one stitch with the stitch formed by throwing
+the wool forward between the ribs. The loop is also taken up on the
+other side of the front gore in the same manner, as well as on the other
+front part. Then work 6 rows without increasing or decreasing. The
+crossing of the stitch is repeated after every 7 rows, always on the
+knitted brioche stitch side, with purple wool. In the 18th row of the
+gore the 3 middle stitches are not knitted together, but separately, so
+that the pattern must be decreased in 26 rows. In the back 30 stitches
+only must be decreased, two in every 6th row. After the 60th row another
+decreasing takes place on the outer edges of the front parts for the
+neck; they decrease 2 stitches (1st rib) after the 5th stitch from the
+front edge in every 3rd row. The 5 stitches which close to the neck are
+cast off together with the 5 stitches on the shoulders. Then cast off
+loosely the stitches of the back; take all the selvedge stitches of the
+front on the needles, and knit 24 rows of brioche stitch with black
+wool, making 9 button-holes on the right front part. On the wrong side
+of this part sew on a strip of black silk, with slits worked round in
+button-hole stitch, stitching at the same time into the knitting. The
+following scallops are knitted round the top of the jacket and round the
+armholes with black wool:--Take the selvedge stitches on the needles,
+work 4 rows alternately, 1 stitch knitted, 1 stitch purled, thread the
+wool into a Berlin wool-work needle, * cast off 3 stitches together,
+draw the wool through the needle, and take the 2 following stitches on
+the wool in the worsted-needle; repeat from *. Sew on the buttons the
+strips of silk elastic on either side of the black stripe at the bottom,
+and fasten the ends of the latter with the steel buckle.
+
+
+_326.--Baby's Boot._
+
+Materials for one pair: 1/2 ounce red, 1/2 ounce white, Berlin wool;
+steel knitting-needles.
+
+This pretty boot consists of a shoe knitted in red wool, and a sock in
+white wool ornamented with red. Begin the knitting with the upper
+scalloped edge of the latter. Cast on 96 stitches with red wool, divide
+them on four needles, and knit in rounds as follows:--1st and 2nd
+rounds: With red wool, purled.
+
+3rd to 8th round: With white wool.
+
+3rd round: Knitted.
+
+4th round: * Knit 4, throw the wool forward, knit 1, throw the wool
+forward, knit 4, knit 3 together. Repeat 7 times more from *.
+
+5th round: Knitted; the stitches formed by throwing the wool forward are
+knitted as one stitch. Knit 3 stitches together at the place where 3
+stitches were knitted together in the 4th round, so that the decreasing
+of the preceding round forms the middle stitch of the 3 stitches to be
+decreased in this round.
+
+6th and 7th rounds: Like the 5th.
+
+8th round: Knitted; you must have 48 stitches left.
+
+9th to 11th round: With red wool. 9th round: Knitted.
+
+10th and 11th rounds: Purled.
+
+12th to 30th round: With white wool.
+
+12th round: Knitted.
+
+13th round to 30th round: Alternately purl 1, knit 1, inserting the
+needle in the back part of the stitch.
+
+31st to 33rd round: With red wool.
+
+31st round: Knitted.
+
+32nd round and 33rd round: Purled.
+
+34th and 35th rounds: With white wool. 34th round: Knitted.
+
+35th round: Alternately throw the wool forward, knit 2 together. Each
+stitch formed by throwing the wool forward is knitted as one stitch in
+the next round.
+
+36th to 38th round: With red wool.
+
+36th round: Knitted.
+
+37th and 38th rounds: Purled.
+
+39th to 47th round: With white wool. Alternately purl 1, slip 1, as if
+you were going to purl it; the wool must lie in front of the slipped
+stitch; in the following rounds take care to purl the slipped stitches.
+
+[Illustration 326.--Baby's Boot.]
+
+Take now 18 stitches for the front gored sock part (leave 30 stitches
+untouched), and work backwards and forwards with red wool. 48th to 50th
+row: With red wool.
+
+48th row: Knitted.
+
+49th row: Purled.
+
+50th row: Knitted.
+
+51st to 85th row: With white wool in the pattern described in the 39th
+round. But as you work backwards and forwards you must alternately knit
+and purl the stitches. Decrease 1 stitch at the beginning and at the end
+of the 84th and 85th rows; decrease 1 stitch in the middle of the 85th
+row, so that the 85th row has 13 stitches left. After this work with red
+wool.
+
+86th row: Knitted.
+
+87th row: Knit 1, purl 2, knit 1, purl 2, knit 1, purl 2, knit 1, purl
+2, knit 1.
+
+Repeat these last 2 rows 3 times more and knit plain to the 94th,
+decreasing one, however, on each side. Now work with the whole number of
+stitches, taking up the selvedge stitches of the gored part and dividing
+them with the 30 other stitches on four needles. Knit once more in
+rounds; the next 20 rounds are alternately 1 round knitted, 1 round
+purled. In the 2 last knitted rounds decrease twice close together in
+the middle of the back part of the shoe. Knit 8 rounds; in every other
+round decrease twice in the middle of the front of the shoe, leaving 9
+stitches between the two decreasings. The number of stitches between the
+decreasings decreases with every round, so that the decreasings form
+slanting lines meeting in a point. Cast off after these 8 rounds, by
+knitting together 2 opposite stitches on the wrong side. The sock part
+is edged with a raised red border, which is worked by taking all the red
+stitches of the 1st round of the shoe on the needle and knitting 4
+rounds, so as to leave the purled side of the stitch always outside;
+then cast off very tight. Draw a piece of braid through the open-work
+row in the sock part, and finish it off at either end with tassels to
+match.

+
+327.--_Knitted Border for a Bedquilt_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s No. 8 white knitting cotton;
+thick steel pins.
+
+Cast on a sufficient number of stitches for the length of the border,
+which must be able to be divided by 31; knit 4 plain rows:
+
+5th row: Alternately make 1, knit 2 together.
+
+Then 5 more plain rows.
+
+[Illustration 327.--Knitted Border for a Bedquilt.]
+
+Now begin the pattern:--1st row: * Make 1, knit 1 _slantways_ (to knit a
+stitch slantways, insert the needle from the front to the back and from
+right to left); # purl 5; knit 1 slantways. Repeat from # 4 times more
+than from * to the end of the row.
+
+2nd row: Purled.
+
+3rd row: Knit 2, * make 1; knit 1 slantways; # purl 5; knit 1 slantways.
+Repeat from # four times more. Repeat from * to the end of the row.
+
+4th row: The same as the second.
+
+The continuation of the work is clearly shown in our illustration. The
+increasing caused by knitting the _made_ stitches is regularly repeated
+in each second row, so that the stitches between the striped divisions
+increase, and form large triangles; the striped divisions, on the other
+hand, are narrowed so as to form the point of the triangles. To obtain
+this result, decrease five times in the 6th, 12th, 18th, and 24th rows,
+by purling together the two last stitches of one purled division, so
+that each division has but eleven stitches left in the 25th row. In the
+28th row knit together one purled stitch with one knitted slantways, so
+that there will be only 6 stitches left for each division; these
+stitches are knitted slantways in the 29th and 30th rows. In the 31st
+row they are knitted together, two and two. There remain in each
+division three more stitches, which are knitted together in the 34th
+row. Two rows entirely purled completethe upper edge of the border.
+

+328.--_Knitted Quilt._
+
+Materials: 8-thread fleecy wool; wooden needles.
+
+This pattern may be worked in narrow strips of different colours, and in
+that case each strip should contain 1 row of patterns; or the quilt may
+be composed of wide strips with several rows of patterns, those of one
+row being placed between those of the preceding. In the first case, that
+is if you work narrow strips, you may use several colours; but if wide
+strips are preferred, they should be of two colours only. Our pattern
+was worked in wide strips, alternately grey and red. Each strip is
+knitted the short way.
+
+[Illustration: 318.--Knitted Quilt.]
+
+For a strip with five raised patterns in the width cast on 20 stitches.
+
+2nd row: Right side of the work. Slip 1, purl 1, * make 1, purl 4.
+Repeat from * 3 times more; make 1, purl 2.
+
+3rd row: Slip 1, knit all the stitches that were purled in the preceding
+row, and purl all those that were made.
+
+4th row: Slip 1, purl 1, * knit 1, make 1, purl 4. Repeat from * 3 times
+more; knit 1, make 1, purl 2.
+
+5th row: Slip 1, knit all the purled stitches, purl all the rest.
+
+6th row: Slip 1, purl 1, * knit 2, make 1, purl 4. Repeat from * 3 times
+more; knit 2, make 1, purl 2.
+
+7th row: The same as the 5th.
+
+8th row: Slip 1, purl 1, * knit 3, make 1, purl 4, and so on.
+
+9th row: The same as the 5th row.
+
+10th row: Slip 1, purl 1, * slip 1, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over
+the knitted one, knit 2, purl 4, repeat from *.
+
+11th row: Knit all the purled stitches, purl all the rest.
+
+12th row: Slip 1, purl 1, * slip 1, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch
+over, knit 1, purl 4, and repeat from *.
+
+13th row: The same as the 11th.
+
+14th row: Slip 1, purl 1, * slip 1, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch
+over, purl 4, and repeat.
+
+15th row: Slip 1, * knit 2 together, knit 3. Repeat from * 3 times more;
+knit 2 together, knit 2.
+
+The second row of patterns begins with the 16th row. There are only 4 in
+this 2nd row, so that after the 1st slipped stitch you purl 3 stitches
+instead of 1, and in the 2nd row, after the 4th made stitch, you purl 4
+more stitches. Repeat alternately these 2 rows of raised patterns, and
+when you have a sufficient number of strips sew them together. Trim the
+quilt all round with a knotted fringe.

+330 _and_ 331.--_Knitted Veil._
+
+Material: Fine Shetland wool.
+
+[Illustration: 330.--Knitted Veil.]
+
+Illustration 330 represents a knitted veil in reduced size. The original
+was worked with fine Shetland wool in an open pattern; it is edged with
+a knitted lace. Its length is 24 inches, its width 18 inches. Work the
+veil from a paper pattern of a shape corresponding to that of
+illustration 330. Compare the paper shape often with the knitting in
+the course of the work, and try to keep them alike.
+
+Knit the veil in the pattern of the original, or in the pattern of
+illustration 331. For the former one begin at the lower edge of the
+veil, cast on 45 stitches upon thick wooden needles, and work the 1st
+row: * Knit 2, throw the wool forward, knit 2 together twice, repeat
+from *.
+
+2nd row: Purled.
+
+3rd row: Knit 1, throw the wool forward, knit 2 together, * throw the
+wool forward, knit 2 together twice, and repeat from *.
+
+4th row: Purled.
+
+5th row: Like the 2nd row. The pattern must be reversed. The pattern
+figures increase with the increasings at the beginning and at the end
+of each row.
+
+The pattern of illustration 331 consists of the 2 following rows:--1st
+row: Slip 1, then alternately throw the wool forward, and knit 2
+together.
+
+2nd row: Entirely knitted; make 1 stitch of the wool thrown forward in
+the last row. When the veil is finished, wet it, and stretch it over
+paper or pasteboard; let it dry, and then edge it with the following
+lace:--Cast on 10, knit the 1st.
+
+2nd row: Knit 1, throw the wool forward, knit 9.
+
+3rd row: Knitted.
+
+4th row: Knit 1, throw the wool forward, knit 2, throw the wool forward,
+knit 2 together twice, knit 4.
+
+5th row: Knitted.
+
+6th row: Knit 1, throw the wool forward, knit 2, throw the wool forward,

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton No. 8 or 20.
+
+This pattern is worked in rows going backwards and forwards with thick
+or fine cotton according to the use you wish to make of it. The
+star-like figures on the knitted squares are worked with soft cotton in
+_point de poste_. Cast on a number of stitches long enough (19 stitches
+are necessary for the two squares), work the 1st row: * Knit 11
+stitches, alternately 4 times knit 2 together, throw the cotton forward.
+Repeat from *, The 2nd row is worked like the 1st, only purled, in this
+row, as well as in the following ones, the stitch must be knitted with
+the cotton thrown forward _after_ the stitch, the last stitch of a plain
+square with the first cotton thrown forward of the open-work figure. The
+number of stitches in the last must always be 8. The pattern consists
+alternately of these two rows. Each pattern contains 12 rows, with the
+13th the squares are reversed. The star figures are embroidered with
+double cotton by working 5 chain stitch in the middle of each square;
+draw the needle underneath the knitting to the next centre of a square.

+_338.--Knitted Braces_.
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton No. 8 or 12.
+
+These braces are knitted with coarse white cotton, taken double; the
+braces themselves are worked in brioche stitch, the lappets are knitted
+plain. Begin at the bottom of the front lappet, make a foundation chain
+of 14 stitches, knit 5 rows plain backwards and forwards, then divide
+the stitches into two halves to form the button-hole; knit 15 rows on
+each of the halves consisting of 7 stitches; then take the 14 stitches
+again on one needle and work 17 rows on them. Then work a second
+button-hole like the first one; knit 6 more rows plain, increasing 1 at
+the end of every row, so that the number of stitches at the end of the
+lappet is 20.
+
+Then begin the pattern in brioche stitch; it is worked as follows:--Knit
+first 1 row, then slip the first stitch of the first following pattern
+row, * throw the cotton forward, slip the next stitch (slip the stitches
+always as if you were going to purl them), knit 2 together; repeat 5
+times more from *; the last stitch is knitted.
+
+2nd row of the pattern: Slip the 1st stitch, * knit 2; the stitch which
+has been formed in the preceding row by throwing the cotton forward is
+slipped after the 2nd knitted stitch; repeat 5 times more from *; knit
+the last stitch.
+
+3rd row: Slip the 1st stitch, * decrease 1 (here, and in all the
+following rows, knit the next stitch together with the stitch before it,
+which has been formed in the preceding row by throwing the cotton
+forward), throw the cotton forward, slip 1; repeat from *; knit the last
+stitch.
+
+4th row: Slip the 1st stitch, * knit 1, slip the stitch which has been
+formed in the preceding row by throwing the cotton forward, knit 1, knit
+the last stitch. Repeat these 4 rows till the braces are long enough.
+The pattern is 19 inches long. Then knit 6 rows plain, decreasing 1 at
+the end of every row, then work each lappet separately, dividing the
+stitches so that each lappet is 7 stitches wide. Each lappet has 72
+rows; after the first 18 rows make a button-hole as described for the
+preceding one. Work 18 rows between the 1st and 2nd button-hole. The
+lappets are rounded off by decreasing after the 2nd button-hole.

+339.--_Pattern for Knitted Curtains, &c._
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton No. 8.
+
+This pattern is suitable for knitting different articles, according to
+the thickness of the cotton used. The number of stitches must be
+divided by ten. The pattern is knitted backwards and forwards.
+
+[Illustration: 339.--Pattern for Knitted Curtains.]
+
+1st row: All plain.
+
+2nd row: * Knit 1, make 2, slip 1, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over
+the knitted one, knit 5, knit 2 together, make 2. Repeat from *.
+
+3rd row: Purl the long stitch formed by making 2 in preceding row, *
+make 2, purl 2 together, purl 3, purl 2 together, make 2, purl 3. Repeat
+from *. (By _make_ 2 is meant twist the cotton twice round the needle,
+which forms one long stitch, and is knitted or purled as such in next
+row.)
+
+4th row: Knit 3, * make 2, slip 1, knit 1, and pass the slipped stitch
+over, knit 1, knit 2 together, make 2, knit 5. Repeat from *.
+
+5th row: Purl 3, * make 2, purl 3 together, make 2, purl 7. Repeat
+from*.
+
+6th row: Knit 3, * knit 2 together (1 stitch and 1 long stitch), make 2,
+knit 1, make 2, slip 1, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over (the
+knitted stitch is a _long stitch_), knit 5. Repeat from *.
+
+Continue the pattern by repeating always from the 2nd to the 5th row;
+the 6th row is the repetition of the 2nd row, but it is begun (compare
+the two rows) about the middle of the 2nd row, so as to change the
+places of the thick diamonds in the following pattern. This will be
+easily understood in the course of the work.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+_340.--Knitted Insertion._
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton No. 20 or 30.
+
+Cast on 14 stitches, and knit in rows, backwards and forwards, as
+follows:--1st row: Slip 1, knit 2 together, throw cotton forward, knit
+2, knit 2 together, throw cotton forward, knit 2, knit 2 together, throw
+cotton forward, knit 3. This row is repeated 18 times more; the stitch
+formed by throwing the cotton forward is knitted as 1 stitch.
+
+20th row: Slip 1, knit 2 together, make 1, knit 1; place next 3 stitches
+upon another needle behind the cotton, and leave them alone; knit 1,
+knit 2 together, throw cotton forward, now knit the first 2 of the 3
+stitches which have been left; knit the last of the 3 together with the
+next stitch on the needle, throw cotton forward, knit 3. Repeat these 20
+rows till strip is long enough.

+341 _and_ 342.--_Knitted Cover for Sofa Cushion._
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton No. 12; eight
+ply fleecy wool.
+
+[Illustration: 341.--Stitch for Sofa Cover.]
+
+This cushion (15 inches wide, 12 inches high) is made of grey calico; it
+is covered on one side with knitting, worked with grey crochet cotton.
+The knitted cover has an open-work pattern, worked backwards and
+forwards on a number of stitches which can be divided by 2, and which
+must suit the width of the cushion, in the following manner:--1st row:
+Alternately throw the cotton forward, knit 2 together.
+
+2nd row: Slip 1, knit the other stitches. The stitch formed by throwing
+the cotton forward is knitted as 1 stitch.
+
+3rd row: Knit 1, * throw the cotton forward, knit 2 together. Repeat
+from *; after the last decreasing knit 1.
+
+4th row: Like the 2nd row.
+
+These four rows are repeated till the cover is sufficiently large. Draw
+a narrow piece of red worsted braid through every other open-work row of
+the pattern, as can be seen in illustration 341. When the cushion has
+been covered with the knitting, it is edged all round with a border
+knitted the long way, in the above-mentioned open-work pattern; it is 14
+rows wide, and also trimmed with worsted braid: a fringe of grey cotton
+and red wool, 3 1/4 inches wide, is sewn on underneath the border at the
+bottom of the cushion; to this is added a thick red worsted cord, by
+which the cushion is hung on over the back of an arm-chair. The
+cushion, on account of its simplicity, is especially suitable for garden
+chairs.

+343.--Netted Nightcap.
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton No. 12.
+
+This cap is netted with crochet cotton over a mesh measuring
+three-quarters of an inch round; work first a long square for the centre
+of the crown, cast on 28 stitches, and work backwards and forwards 27
+rows with the same number of stitches. Then work 34 rounds round this
+square, and fasten the cotton. Then count 43 stitches for the front
+border, and 24 stitches for the back border, and leave them for the edge
+of the cap. On the remaining stitches on each side work the strings in
+95 rows backwards and forwards on the same number of stitches; each
+string is pointed off at the lower end by decreasing 1 stitch in every
+row. Sew in a narrow piece of tape in the back border of the cap; the
+remaining part of the border, as well as the strings, are trimmed with
+crochet lace or with netted edging, No. 311.

+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton, 3-thread, No.
+30.
+
+[Illustration: 344.--Netted Nightcap.]
+
+This nightcap is very simple and practical. It consists of two similar
+three-cornered pieces, sewn together so as to form a double triangle;
+the point of the triangle is turned back, as seen in illustration, and
+fastened on the lower half of the same. The cap is edged with a lace; a
+similar lace covers the seam between both parts of the cap. The pattern
+is worked with crochet cotton over a mesh measuring three-quarters of an
+inch round. Begin each half in the corner; cast on 2 stitches, and work
+backwards and forwards, increasing 1 stitch at the end of every row,
+till the number of stitches is 60. Then sew both halves together, and
+trim the cap and strings (the latter are worked as on the cap No. 343)
+with the following lace: work 2 rows of open-work treble stitches--the
+treble stitches are divided by 1 chain--then work 1 row of double,
+always working 4 double round the chain stitches which divide 2 treble
+in the preceding row, or with netted edging No. 311.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+345.--_Knitted Pattern_.
+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton No. 20 for
+couvrettes, or Berlin wool for sofa quilts.
+
+This pattern can be worked either in wool or cotton, and is suitable for
+many purposes. Cast on a sufficient number of stitches, divided by 18,
+for the 1st row: Knit 4, throw the cotton forward, knit 2 together, throw
+the cotton forward knit 2 together, knit 4, purl 6, repeat from *.
+
+2nd row: The stitches knitted in the 1st row are purled as well as the
+stitches formed by throwing the cotton forward; the purled stitches are
+knitted. This row is repeated alternately, therefore we shall not
+mention it again.
+
+3rd row: * Knit 6, throw the cotton forward, knit 2 together, throw the
+cotton forward, knit 2 together, knit 6, purl 2.
+
+5th row: Purl 4, * knit 4, throw the cotton forward, knit 2 together,

+346 _to_ 348.--Knitted Shawl.
+
+Materials: Shetland wool, white and scarlet; steel needles.
+
+[Illustration: 346.--Pattern for Shawl (348).]
+
+[Illustration: 347.--Pattern for Shawl (348).]
+
+This shawl is knitted in the patterns given on Nos. 346 and 347. Both
+illustrations show the patterns worked in coarse wool, so as to be
+clearer. Begin the shawl, which is square, on one side, cast on a
+sufficient number of stitches (on our pattern 290); the needles must not
+be too fine, as the work should be loose and elastic.
+
+Knit first 2 rows plain, then 3 of the open-work row of pattern No. 346,
+which is worked in the following manner:--1st row: Slip the first
+stitch, * knit 2 together, inserting the needle into the back part of
+the stitch, slip 1, knit 2 together, throw the wool twice forward;
+repeat from *.
+
+2nd row: Knit 1 and purl 1 in the stitch formed by throwing the wool
+forward in the preceding row; the other stitches are purled. In the next
+row the holes are alternated--that is, after the 1st slipped stitch knit
+1, throw the wool forward, and then knit twice 2 together.
+
+When 3 such open-work rows are completed, knit 1 row plain, and then
+work the pattern seen on No. 347, which forms the ground, and is worked
+in the following way:--1st row: Slip the 1st stitch, alternately throw
+the wool forward, and decrease by slipping 1 stitch, knitting the next,
+and drawing the slip stitch over the knitted one.
+
+2nd row, entirely purled.
+
+When 6 such rows have been worked in this pattern, work again 9 rows of
+the open-work pattern, but work on each side of the 2 stripes, each 6
+stitches wide, in the pattern of the ground (No. 347); each first stripe
+is at a distance of 4 stitches from the edge, and each second stripe at
+a distance of 20 stitches. After the 9th open-work row, work again 6
+rows in the pattern of the ground, then again 8 open-work rows, and then
+begin the ground, only continue to work on both sides of the shawl the
+narrow stripes of the ground pattern, the narrow outer and the two wide
+inner stripes of the border in the open-work pattern. When the ground
+(pattern No. 347) is square, finish the shawl at the top with two wide
+and one narrow open-work row, as at the bottom, divided by stripes in
+the ground pattern. Knot in, all round the shawl, a fringe of scarlet
+wool; the fringe must be 3-1/2 inches deep.

+
+353.--Alphabet in Coral Stitch.
+
+Material: Coloured ingrain marking cotton, or black sewing silk, or
+filoselle.
+
+The letters of this alphabet are particularly suitable for
+pocket-handkerchiefs. The embroidery is worked either with marking

+
+This useful alphabet is worked in satin stitch, veined in parts and
+ornamented with tendrils. As the alphabet of capitals (page 377, No.

+
+The letters are worked in point d'or, or dotted stitch, with an outline
+in fine overcast, and large raised spots in satin stitch. The ornamental
+wreaths round the first five letters can of course be worked round any
+of the others. It is very fashionable to work one letter only upon
+handkerchief corners.
+
+[Illustration: 357.--Alphabet in paint d'or.]
+
+358.--_Alphabet in White Embroidery_.
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Embroidery Cotton No. 16
+
+This alphabet is worked in applique; the ears of corn only are worked in
+overcast, satin, and knotted stitch. These letters look particularly
+well on transparent materials. The ears may be omitted by beginners,
+though they add much to the beauty of the alphabet. To this alphabet are
+added the ten numerals, which will be found exceedingly useful. By means
+of the whole alphabet and all these figures, any combination of initials
+and numbers can be made.
+
+[Illustration: 358.--Alphabets and Numerals in White Embroidery.]

+cambric muslin or fine linen. Work the embroidery with white embroidery
+cotton, red cotton, or black silk. The thick parts of the letters are
+worked in slanting satin stitch and back stitch; the outlines of the
+stitched parts are worked in overcast, as well as the fine outlines of
+the letters and all the fine outlines of the patterns. The monograms and
+crowns are worked in a similar manner. Work button-hole stitch round the

+
+[Illustration: 363.--Amalie.]
+
+The highly-ornate initial of this name is not difficult to work,
+requiring only great regularity and evenness in embroidering the
+tendrils and eyelet-holes. The veinings of the letter must be carefully
+defined. The remainder of the name is executed in plain satin stitch, a
+few eyelet-holes being introduced.
+
+"Amalie" can easily be altered into "Amelia" by changing the place of
+the _a_ and _e_. In the centre of each letter a large eyelet-hole is
+placed; smaller eyelet-holes of graduated sizes occupy parts of the
+overcast scrolls, which should be worked with No. 20 cotton. The initial
+letter is worked in raised satin stitch.

+Linen Thread No. 16.
+
+Lace stitches are introduced in the medallion which incloses these
+letters, the outlines being worked in overcast and point de pois, the
+pens and initials in raised satin stitch, as also the flowers. The open
+portion is filled in with Mechlin wheels, which are thus worked: A
+number of single threads cross each other in the space to be filled up;
+these are placed about a quarter of an inch from each other. All the
+bars in one direction must now be worked in fine button-hole stitch,
+then the opposite bars must be worked, and the button-hole stitch must
+be continued about six inches past the point where the two lines cross.
+The thread must be slipped loosely round the cross twice, running over
+and under alternately, so as to form a circle; then work in button-hole
+to the centre of a quarter of the circle; make a dot by inserting a pin
+in the next button-hole and working three stitches in the loop thus
+formed by the pin. These dots may be omitted from these wheels.

+are the stitches used here.

+POINT LACE WORK.
+
+
+
+Lace is of two kinds--pillow lace, which is made upon a cushion or
+pillow, and point lace, which is made of stitches or _points_ worked in
+patterns by hand, which are joined by various stitches forming a
+groundwork, also the result of the needle above.
+
+Pillow lace is entirely worked on the pillow or cushion, the pattern and
+ground being produced at the same time. Pillow lace is sometimes
+correctly called bone or bobbin lace, but it appears that the
+distinction has never been very nicely observed either by lace-workers
+or lace-traders, many sorts which are really pillow lace being called
+point, on account of some peculiarity in the stitch or pattern.
+
+The requisites for producing lace in perfection are the dexterity and
+taste of the workers, and the goodness of the material. To produce many
+beautiful fabrics a mechanical dexterity alone suffices, but in
+lace-making the worker must have some artistic talent, even when
+supplied with designs, for any one can perceive that deviations from the
+design are easily made, and that the slightest alteration by a worker
+wanting in taste will spoil the whole piece of workmanship.
+
+The following illustrations are specimens of ancient and modern laces
+from Mrs. Bury Palliser's collection:--
+
+[Illustration: 419.--Dalecarlian Lace.]
+
+[Illustration: 420.--Old Mechlin.]
+
+[Illustration: 421.--Mechlin Lace (Queen Charlotte's).]
+
+No. 419 shows Dalecarlian lace, made by the women of Dalecarlia. This is
+a coarse kind of lace, and is sewn on caps, &c., and, although highly
+starched, is never washed, for fear of destroying its coffee-coloured
+tint, which, it appears, is as much prized now by the Swedish rustics as
+it was by English ladies in the last century.
+
+[Illustration: 422.--Buckingham Point Trolly, 1851 (Black Lace).]
+
+Both these specimens of Mechlin belonged to Queen Charlotte, who much
+admired this elegant lace.
+
+No. 423.--The Bedford plaited lace is an improvement on the old Maltese.
+
+Honiton guipure lace is distinguished by the groundwork being of various
+stitches, in place of being sewn upon a net ground. The application of
+Honiton sprigs upon bobbin net has been of late years almost superseded
+by this modern guipure. The sprigs, when made, are sewn upon a piece of
+blue paper and united on the pillow with "cutworks" or "purlings," or
+else joined with the needle by various stitches--lacet, point, reseau,
+cutwork, button-hole, and purling.
+
+[Illustration: 423.--Bedford Plaited Lace (1851).]
+
+Those who wish to study lace and lace-making should read Mrs. Bury
+Palliser's _History of Lace_ (Sampson Low and Marston).

+
+POINT LACE.
+
+
+The materials required for this elegant branch of needlework are neither
+numerous nor expensive. TRACING CLOTH, LEATHER, or TOILE CIREE, various
+BRAIDS and CORDS, LINEN THREAD and two or three sizes of needles,
+scissors and thimble. TRACING CLOTH is required when ladies copy point
+lace patterns, and is the most convenient mode of taking them, as the
+design can be worked upon the tracing cloth, which, though transparent,
+is very strong; the price is 1s. 6d. per yard. Fine LEATHER is the
+material upon which bought patterns are usually traced, and is decidedly
+more pleasant to work on than is any other material. In selecting
+patterns ladies should choose those traced upon green leather in
+preference to scarlet or buff, as green is better for the eyesight than
+any other colour.
+
+[Illustration: 425.--Point Lace Scissors.]
+
+TOILE CIREE is only a substitute for leather, and is not as pleasant to
+work upon in warm weather.
+
+The needles employed are usually Messrs. Walker's needles, Nos. 9 and
+10. The scissors should be small, sharp, and pointed, as in illustration
+No. 425. An ivory thimble may be safely employed in this light work.
+

+
+[Illustration: 429.--Linen Braid.]
+
+[Illustration: 430.--Linen Braid.]
+
+[Illustration: 431.--Linen Braid.]
+
+The BRAIDS are of various widths and kinds. None but pure linen braid
+should be employed; those with machine-made edgings are eschewed by many
+lace-workers, the plain, loose-woven linen braid of various widths and
+qualities being alone acceptable to experienced hands.
+
+But all ladies do not care to be at the trouble of edging the braid, and
+will find Nos. 426, 428, 430, and 431 very useful. No. 429 is a plain
+linen braid with a vandyked edge, which works out very prettily. No. 431
+is an edged braid with open holes, in imitation of the point lace work
+of the fifteenth century.
+
+Point lace cords resemble the satin stitch embroidery in their close,
+regular smoothness; the price is 1s. per hank, and they are of various
+thicknesses, from the size of a coarse crochet thread up to that of a
+thick piping cord. These cords are used to ornament the braid, and are
+closely sewn on the braid, following its every outline, and serve as
+_beading_ to the edging, being always sewn on the outer edge alone. The
+finer kinds of this cord are used in place of braid where very light
+work is needed, as in the point lace alphabet which forms the
+frontispiece of this work. Directions for laying on the cord when
+employed as braid are given on page 500. When used as a finish only, and
+to impart the raised appearance of Venice and Spanish lace, it is fixed
+on the braid by plain, close sewing. The thread used should be
+Mecklenburg linen thread; that of Messrs. Walter Evans and Co. we
+strongly recommend as being of pure linen, washing and wearing well; it
+is pleasant to work with, from the regularity and evenness of the make.
+The numbers run thus:--2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36,
+and 40--and will be found adapted for every kind of lace stitch. No. 2
+is the coarsest, No. 40 the finest, size.
+
+In working point lace the following directions must be attended to:
+Begin at the left hand, and work from left to right, when not otherwise
+directed, as in reverse rows. Before cutting off the braid run a few
+stitches across it to prevent it widening. Joins should be avoided, but
+when a join is indispensable, stitch the braid together, open and turn
+back the ends, and stitch each portion down separately. When passing the
+thread from one part to another, run along the centre of the braid,
+allowing the stitches to show as little as possible. In commencing, make
+a few stitches, leaving the end of the thread on the wrong side and
+cutting it off afterwards. In fastening off, make a tight button-hole
+stitch, run on three stitches, bring the needle out at the back, and cut
+off.
+
+Having now completed our list of materials, we can proceed to lay on the
+braid.
+
+[Illustration: 442.--Mode of Placing the Braid.]
+
+TO PLACE THE BRAID.--No. 442 shows the design traced upon paper or
+tracing cloth, and lightly tacked to a foundation of leather or toile
+ciree. Run on a straight line of braid for the lower edge, with fine
+stitches, working as shown from left to right. Take another piece of
+braid, or the other end of the same piece, and begin to lay the braid by
+"running" stitches in its centre, keeping it as smooth and even as
+possible. The outer edge presents no difficulty, but the inner edge will
+not lie evenly without being drawn in by a needle and thread, as
+follows:--Thread a No. 9 needle with No. 12 Mecklenburg thread about 20
+inches long, fasten the thread to one point, and insert the needle in
+and out of the edge of the braid, as if for fine gathering; this thread
+when drawn up will keep the braid in its place. Two or three fastening
+off stitches should be worked when each circle, half circle, or rounded
+curve of a pattern is finished, as the drawing or gathering thread
+remains in the work, and forms an important, though unseen, part of its
+structure.
+
+As much of the beauty of point lace depends upon the manner of placing
+the braid, ladies cannot bestow too much pains upon this part of the
+work, which is a little troublesome to beginners. Many fancy shops now
+undertake this braid-placing for ladies, who can have their own pattern
+braided and commenced or braided alone at trifling expense. Among these
+may be mentioned the following houses:--Goubaud, 30, Henrietta-street,
+Covent-garden. Boutillier, Oxford-street, W.

+

+
+The term point lace, or lace stitches (_points_), has of late been
+applied to every stitch executed with Mecklenburg thread, and many
+stitches are erroneously named by modern writers. As there are more than
+one hundred stitches employed in this beautiful art, much study and
+opportunity of seeing specimens of old point lace is required to give a
+novice any idea of the various kinds of point lace; but by attention to
+the following stitches the rudiments of the art may be easily acquired
+and very beautiful lace produced.
+
+The first stitch is POINT DE BRUXELLES, or Brussels lace stitch. This
+stitch, as may be clearly seen in illustration No. 433, is a simple
+button-hole stitch worked loosely and with great regularity. The whole
+beauty of Brussels lace depends upon the evenness of the stitches. This
+stitch is sometimes employed as an edging, but is more often worked in
+rows backwards and forwards, either as a groundwork or to fill spaces,
+as in the point lace collar, No. 496.
+
+[Illustration: 433. Point de Bruxelles (Brussels Lace).]
+
+[Illustration: 434.--Point de Bruxelles (Brussels Lace Worked in Rows).]
+
+Brussels Point is the foundation of nearly all the lace stitches.
+
+
+POINT DE VENISE (Venetian or Venice Point) is worked from left to right,
+like Brussels point. Work one loose button-hole, and in this stitch
+work four button-hole stitches tightly drawn up, then work another loose
+button-hole stitch, then four more tight button-hole stitches in the
+loose one, repeat to the end of the row, and fasten off.
+
+[Illustration: 435.--Point de Venise (Venice Point).]
+
+
+[Illustration: 436.--Petit Point de Venise (Little Venice Point).]
+
+PETIT POINT DE VENISE (Little Venice Point) is worked in the same manner
+as Point de Venise, but one tight stitch only is worked in each loose
+button-hole stitch. This is a most useful stitch for filling small
+spaces.
+
+
+[Illustration: 437.--Point d'Espagne (Spanish Point).]
+
+No. 437.--POINT D'ESPAGNE (Spanish Point) is worked from left to right
+as follows:--Insert the needle in the edge of the braid, keeping the
+thread turned to the right, bringing it out inside the loop formed by
+the thread (see illustration No. 437); the needle must pass from the
+back of the loop through it. Pass the needle under the stitch and bring
+it out in front, thus twice twisting the thread, which produces the
+cord-like appearance of this stitch. At the end of each row fasten to
+the braid and return by sewing back, inserting the needle once in every
+open stitch.
+
+
+[Illustration: 438.--Close Point d'Espagne (Close Spanish Point).]
+
+No. 438.--POINT D'ESPAGNE (Close) is worked in the same way as open
+point d'Espagne, but so closely as to only allow the needle to pass
+through in the next row. This stitch is also worked from left to right;
+fasten to the braid at the end of each row, and sew back to the left
+again.
+
+
+No. 439.--TREBLE POINT D'ESPAGNE is worked in exactly the same way as
+the open and close point d'Espagne, as may be seen in illustration No.
+439.
+
+Three close stitches, one open, three close to the end of each row. Sew
+back, and in the next row begin one open, three close, one open, then
+close to the end; repeat the rows as far as necessary, taking care that
+the close and open stitches follow in regular order. Diamonds, stars,
+and various patterns may be formed with this stitch.
+
+[Illustration: 439.--Treble Point d'Espagne (Treble Spanish Point).]
+
+
+No. 440.--POINT DE GRECQUE is begun from left to right, is worked
+backwards and forwards, and is begun by one stitch in loose point de
+Bruxelles and three of close point d'Espagne; then one Brussels, three
+point d'Espagne to the end of the row; in returning work back in the
+same manner.
+
+[Illustration: 440.--Point de Grecque (Grecian Point).]
+
+
+No. 441. POINT DE VALENCIENNES (Valenciennes Stitch).--This stitch
+appears complicated, but is really easy to work. Begin at the left hand
+and work six point de Bruxelles stitches at unequal distance, every
+alternate stitch being larger. 2nd row: Upon the first large or long
+stitch work 9 close button-hole stitches, then 1 short point de
+Bruxelles stitch under the one above, then 9 close stitches, and so on
+to the end of row (right to left).
+
+[Illustration: 441.--Point de Valenciennes (Valenciennes Stitch).]
+
+3rd row: 5 close button-hole in the 9 of previous row, 1 short point de
+Bruxelles, 2 close in the Bruxelles stitch, 1 short point de Bruxelles,
+5 close, 1 short point de Bruxelles, 2 close, l short, 5 close, 1 short,
+and repeat. 4th row: 5 close, 1 short point de Bruxelles, 2 close, 1
+short, 5 close, 1 short, 2 close, l short, and repeat. Continue the rows
+until sufficient of the pattern is worked.
+
+
+[Illustration: 442.--Point d'Alencon, with Twisted Stitch.]
+
+No. 442. POINT D'ALENCON.--This stitch is used to fill up narrow spaces
+where great lightness is required. Point d'Alencon is worked under and
+over in alternate stitches, like hem stitch. Nos. 442 and 443 show point
+d'Alencon. In No. 442 a twisted stitch is worked over the plain point
+d'Alencon, which is clearly shown in No. 443; this twist is made by
+passing the thread three times round each plain bar, and working the
+knot shown in illustration No. 442 over _both_ strands of the bar.
+
+[Illustration: 443.--Point d'Alencon, with Button-hole Stitch.]
+
+The POINT D'ALENCON No. 443 is a festoon of close button-hole stitch
+worked over the plain bars.
+
+
+[Illustration: 444.--Point d'Angleterre (Open English Lace).]
+
+No. 444.--POINT D'ANGLETERRE (Open English Lace).--Open English Lace is
+thus worked:--Cover the space to be filled in with lines of thread about
+one-eighth of an inch apart, then form cross lines, intersecting those
+already made and passing alternately under and over them; work a rosette
+on every spot where two lines cross, by working over and under the two
+lines about 16 times round, then twist the thread twice round the
+groundwork thread, and begin to form another rosette at the crossing
+threads. No. 445 shows this stitch much enlarged.
+
+[Illustration: 445.--Point d'Angleterre (Enlarged).]
+
+
+No. 446,--POINT TURQUE (Turkish Stitch).--This easy and effective stitch
+looks well for filling either large or small spaces; the thread employed
+should be varied in thickness according to the size of the space to be
+filled. 1st row: Work a loop, bringing the thread from right to left,
+passing the needle through the twist and through the loop, draw up tight
+and repeat. 2nd row: 1 straight thread from right to left. 3rd row: Work
+the same as first using the straight thread in place of the braid, and
+passing the needle through the loop of previous row, as shown in
+illustration No. 446.
+
+[Illustration: 446.--Point Turque.]
+
+
+No. 447.--CORDOVA STITCH is useful for varying other stitches. It
+resembles the point de reprise of guipure d'art, and is worked in a
+similar manner over and under the side of squares formed by straight and
+parallel lines. (See No. 448.)
+
+[Illustration: 447.--Point de Cordova (Cordova Stitch).]
+
+
+No. 448.--POINT DE REPRISE.--This stitch is worked by darning over and
+under two threads, forming a triangle. The space is filled by parallel
+and cross-way bars, placed at equal distances, and on the triangles thus
+produced point de reprise is worked.
+
+[Illustration: 448.--Point de Reprise.]
+
+
+No. 449.--POINT BRABANCON (Brabancon Lace) is worked as follows:--Left
+to right. 1st row: 1 long loose, 1 short loose, point de Bruxelles
+alternately to end of row. 2nd row: 7 tight point de Bruxelles in the 1
+long loose stitch, 2 short loose point de Bruxelles in the short loose
+stitch of previous row, repeat. 3rd row: Same as first.
+
+[Illustration: 449.--Point Brabancon (Brabancon Lace).]
+
+
+[Illustration: 450.--Point de Fillet (Net Groundwork Stitch).]
+
+[Illustration: 451.--Point de Fillet and Point de Reprise.]
+
+No. 450 is used for groundwork where Brussels net is not imitated, and
+is very effective. It is begun in the corner or crosswise of the space
+to be filled. A loose point de Bruxelles stitch is first taken and
+fastened to the braid, then passed twice through the braid as shown in
+illustration, and worked in rows backwards and forwards as follows:--1
+point de Bruxelles stitch; before proceeding to the next stitch pass the
+needle _under_ the knot, _over_ the thread, and again _under_ it, as
+shown in illustration No. 450. This stitch is very quickly worked. No.
+451 shows point de fillet applied in filling a space, with a few
+stitches of point de reprise worked upon this pretty groundwork.
+
+
+No. 452.--POINT DE TULLE.--This stitch is used as a groundwork for very
+fine work, and is worked in rows backwards and forwards in the same
+stitch as open point d'Espagne, page 457. When this is completed the
+work is gone over a second time, by inserting the needle under one
+twisted bar, bringing it out and inserting it at +, and bringing it out
+again at the dot. This produces a close double twist which is very
+effective.
+
+[Illustration: 452.--Point de Tulle.]
+
+
+No. 453.--MECHLIN LACE (Mechlin Wheels).--This is one of the prettiest
+stitches in point lace, but also one of the most difficult to work
+correctly. It is thus worked:--Work a number of diagonal bars in
+button-hole stitch on a single thread in one direction, then begin in
+the opposite side the same way, and work 5 or 6 stitches past the spot
+where the two lines cross, pass the thread round the cross twice under
+and over the thread to form a circle. Work in button-hole stitch half
+one quarter, make a dot by putting a fine pin in the loop instead of
+drawing the thread tight, and work 3 button-hole stitches in the loop
+held open by the pin, then take it out, and continue as before.
+Beginners will do well to omit the dot, leaving the loop only on the
+wheel. Mechlin wheels are also worked in rows upon horizontal and
+parallel lines of thread.
+
+[Illustration: 453.--Mechlin Lace Wheels.]
+
+
+No. 454.--ESCALIER LACE.--This useful lace may be varied in pattern to
+any extent by placing the open stitches in any desired order; it then
+takes the name of diamond or Antwerp lace, according to the design. True
+escalier lace is made by working nine button-hole stitches close
+together; then miss 3--that is, work none in the space that 3 stitches
+would occupy--work 9, miss 3 as before to the end of row, begin the 2nd
+row 3 stitches from the end, to cause the open spaces to fall in
+diagonal lines--a succession of steps or stairs (_escalier_), which
+gives name to this stitch.
+
+[Illustration: 454.--Escalier Lace Worked in Diamonds.]
+
+
+No. 455.--SPANISH POINT LACE is adorned with highly-raised scrolls,
+flowers, &c. This is effected by working over an underlay of coarse
+white thread or over fine white linen cords. The wheels are worked by
+winding soft coarse linen thread round pencils or smooth knitting-pins
+of various sizes, and working over the circle thus obtained a succession
+of close button-hole stitches. These wheels are sewn on to the lace when
+completed. The groundwork of Spanish lace is usually worked in what are
+called Raleigh Bars (see page 477), but this lace has sometimes for
+groundwork point de Venise. An easy mode of working this handsome lace
+is to trace the design upon very fine good linen; raise the thick parts
+as above directed, and embroider the whole in fine thick scalloped
+button-hole stitch; fill the ground with Raleigh bars, or, as shown in
+illustration No. 455, in treble point de Venise, and cut away the linen
+from beneath the groundwork.
+
+[Illustration: 455.--Spanish Point Lace (Worked a l'Anglaise).]
+
+
+
+WHEELS AND ROSETTES.
+
+
+Wheels or rosettes are used to fill up circles, or in combination to
+form lace. The simplest is--
+
+THE SORRENTO WHEEL.--Nos. 456 and 457.--This is worked by fastening the
+thread in the pattern to be filled up by means of the letters. Fasten it
+first at the place _a_, then at the place _b_, carrying it back to the
+middle of the first formed bar by winding it round, fasten the cotton at
+the place _c_, carrying it back again to the centre by winding it round
+the bar, and so on; then work over and under the bars thus formed as in
+English lace. See page 462, and illustrations Nos. 456 and 457.
+
+[Illustration: 456 and 457.--Sorrento Wheels.]
+
+
+No. 458.--ENGLISH WHEEL.--This is worked in the same manner as the
+Sorrento wheel, but instead of _winding_ the thread over and under the
+bars, the needle is inserted under each bar and brought out again
+between the thread and the last stitch; this gives a kind of button-hole
+stitch, and gives the square, firm appearance possessed by this wheel.
+
+[Illustration: 458.--English Wheel.]
+
+
+No. 459.--ROSETTE IN POINT D'ANGLETERRE.--This rosette is worked in a
+somewhat similar manner to the wheel above described, the difference
+being that after each stitch passed round and under the bars, the thread
+is passed loosely round in the reverse direction, as shown in
+illustration No. 459, before proceeding to make the next stitch.
+
+[Illustration: 459.--Rosette in Raised Point d'Angleterre.]
+
+
+No. 460 is a rosette or star which is used to fill circles of braid, and
+forms the centre of many modern point lace patterns. It is worked upon
+a pattern traced and pricked in small holes at equal distances. Two
+threads are employed, one coarse tracing thread, the other of finer
+thread. The coarse thread is laid on thus:--Pass the needle containing
+the fine thread, No. 12, through one of the pricked holes, over the
+tracing thread and back through the same hole; repeat, following the
+traced outline until the whole of the coarse thread is laid over the
+outline, then work over in tight button-hole stitch with picots or
+purls, as on the Raleigh bars (see page 477). This mode of laying on
+tracing or outlining thread is also applied to fine braid and to point
+lace cord, as in the alphabet No. 400 (see page 500).
+
+[Illustration: 460.--Rosette for centre of Point Lace Circles.]
+
+
+
+BARS.
+
+
+The word _Bar_ is applied to the various stitches used to connect the
+various parts of point lace work, and the beauty of the work depends
+greatly upon the class of bar and its suitability to the lace stitches
+used. The simplest bar is--
+
+No. 461.--THE SORRENTO BAR.--It is worked from right to left, a straight
+thread being carried across and fastened with a stitch. The return row
+consists of a simple twist under and over the straight thread; three of
+these bars are usually placed close together at equal distances between
+each group. The thread is sewn over the braid in passing from one spot
+to another.
+
+[Illustration: 461.--Sorrento Bars.]
+
+[Illustration: 462.--Sorrento Bars.]
+
+Sorrento bars are also applied as shown in illustration No. 462.
+
+
+No. 463.--D ALENCON BARS are worked upon point de Bruxelles edging, and
+are only applied to the inner part of a pattern, never being used as
+groundwork bars. The thread is merely passed three times over and under
+the point de Bruxelles stitches, the length of these bars being
+regulated by the space to be filled; when the third bar is completed a
+tight point de Bruxelles stitch is used to fasten off the bar, the
+thread is passed through the next point de Bruxelles stitch, and a
+second bar begun.
+
+[Illustration: 463.--D'Alencon Bars.]
+
+
+[Illustration: 464.--Venetian Bar.]
+
+No. 464.--THE VENETIAN BAR is so simple that it hardly needs
+description. It is worked over two straight threads in reverse
+button-hole stitch. No. 465 shows the Venetian bar applied as the
+"veining" of leaf, and worked upon Sorrento bars.
+
+[Illustration: 465.--Venetian Bar.]
+
+
+No. 466.--VENETIAN BARS are worked so as to form squares, triangles,
+&c., in button-hole stitch upon a straight thread. The arrow in the
+illustration points to the direction for working the next.
+
+[Illustration: 466.--- Plain Venetian Bars.]
+
+
+No. 467.--BARS OF POINT D'ANGLETERRE.--These bars may be worked singly
+or to fill up a space, as in illustration. Work rosettes as in point
+d'Angleterre, page 461; when each rosette is finished twist the thread
+up the foundation thread to the top, fasten with one stitch, then pass
+it under the parallel line running through the centre and over into the
+opposite braid; repeat on each side of each rosette, inserting the
+threads as in illustration.
+
+[Illustration: 467.--Bars of Point d'Angleterre.]
+
+
+No. 468.--POINT DE VENISE BARS (EDGED).--Begin at the right hand and
+stretch a line of thread to the left side of the braid, fastening it
+with one tight stitch of point de Bruxelles. Upon this line work a
+succession of tight point de Bruxelles stitches. In every third stitch
+work one point de Venise stitch.
+
+[Illustration: 468.--Point de Venise Bars (Edged).]
+
+
+No. 469.--We now come to the most important feature of BARS--the _dot,
+picot_, or _purl_, for by all these names it is known. This dot is
+worked in various ways upon different lace bars. Dotted point de Venise
+bars are worked as follow:--
+
+[Illustration: 469.--Dotted Point de Venise Bars.]
+
+Stretch the thread from right to left, on this work five tight stitches
+of point de Bruxelles, then insert a pin in this last stitch to hold it
+open and loose, pass the needle under the loose stitch and over the
+thread, as clearly shown in illustration No. 469, and in this loop work
+three tight point de Bruxelles stitches. Then work five more stitches,
+and repeat to end of row.
+
+
+[Illustration: 470.--Picot or Dot on Sorrento Bar.]
+
+No. 470 shows a dot or picot upon a Sorrento bar worked between rows of
+point de Bruxelles, three twisted stitches being worked into the loop
+left by the twisted thread; this forms a picot resembling satin stitch
+in appearance.
+
+
+Nos. 471 and 472.--RALEIGH BARS are worked over a foundation or network
+of coarse thread, twisted in places so as to more easily fall into the
+desired form.
+
+[Illustration: 471.--Raleigh Bars.]
+
+[Illustration 472.--Network for Working Raleigh Bars.]
+
+
+By following the numbering from No. 1 to 21, in No. 472, a square place
+may be easily filled, and portions of this arrangement applied to form
+groundwork of any shape desired. Upon this groundwork tight point de
+Bruxelles stitches are worked, and the dot worked upon these in one of
+the following ways:--
+
+DOT or PICOT.--1st Mode: Five tight point de Bruxelles stitches, one
+loose point de Bruxelles; pass the needle under the loop and over the
+thread, as shown in point de Venise bars No. 469, draw up, leaving a
+small open loop as in tatting. Work five tight point de Bruxelles and
+repeat. 2nd Mode: Proceed as above, but instead of continuing the tight
+stitches work two or three tight stitches in the loop thus formed, and
+repeat. 3rd Mode: Work four tight point de Bruxelles stitches, one
+loose, through which pass the needle point, wind the thread three or
+four times round the point, as shown in illustration No. 473, press the
+thumb tightly on this, and draw the needle and thread through the
+twists. This is a quick mode of making the picot, and imitates most
+closely the real Spanish lace.
+
+
+Illustration No. 473 also shows how this stitch may be applied as a
+_regular_ groundwork, but the beauty of old point groundwork bars is the
+variety of form.
+
+[Illustration: 473.--Third mode of making Picots or Dots.]
+
+
+
+EDGES AND PURL FINISH.
+
+
+The correct edging of lace is a most important part of this art, and
+care should be taken to work a proper edge for each kind of lace.
+Sorrento edging should be worked upon Limoges lace. Spanish lace
+requires a full rich edge, as shown in No. 478, &c. The simplest edge is
+point de Bruxelles, which is worked somewhat like the stitch No. 433,
+and is secured by a knot worked in the braid. Many lace-workers omit
+this knot.
+
+[Illustration: 474.--Point de Bruxelles Edging.]
+
+
+No. 475.--SORRENTO EDGING is worked with one short and one long stitch
+alternately.
+
+[Illustration: 475.--Sorrento Edging.]
+
+
+No. 476.--POINT DE VENISE is worked precisely like that stitch (see page
+456), three and even four stitches being worked in the loop.
+
+[Illustration: 476.--Point de Venise Edging.]
+
+
+No. 477.--POINT D'ANGLETERRE EDGING is worked in point de Bruxelles, the
+thread being again drawn through the braid before proceeding to the next
+stitch. This edging is strong and useful.
+
+[Illustration: 477.--Point d'Angleterre Edging.]
+
+No. 478.--POINT D'ESPAGNE EDGING.--This stitch is easily worked. Insert
+the point of the needle through the braid and wind the thread round it
+20 times, draw the needle through these windings and draw the picot
+tight, sew over the braid the space of 3 stitches, and repeat.
+
+[Illustration: 478.--Point d'Espagne Edging.]
+
+
+No. 479.--ANTWERP EDGE.--This edge is only a variety of point
+d'Angleterre edging, and differs only in the mode of making the knot;
+the thread is passed over, under, and through the loop formed by the
+point de Bruxelles lace.
+
+[Illustration: 479.--Antwerp Edge.]

+
+Materials: Fine lace braid or cord; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s
+Mecklenburg thread No. 24.
+
+This border is suited for a handkerchief or for trimming a square
+bodice. The braid is not tacked on by stitches running through the
+centre, as is usual in point lace braids, but sewn on by passing a
+thread from underneath over the braid and out through the same hole, as
+is done by lace-workers with a thick thread; this forms the design. The
+stitches employed in this pattern are Raleigh bars, which connect the
+work; Sorrento edging, which finishes the whole outline; English
+rosettes filling the open spaces. Point lace cord may be used for this
+in place of braid.

+GUIPURE D'ART.
+
+
+
+INSTRUCTIONS AND PATTERNS
+
+IN
+
+GUIPURE D'ART.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+Ancient Guipure was a lace made of thin vellum, covered with gold,
+silver, or silk thread, and the word Guipure derives its name from the
+silk when thus twisted round vellum being called by that name. In
+process of time the use of vellum was discontinued, and a cotton
+material replaced it. Guipure lace was called _intelle a cartisane_ in
+England in the sixteenth century. Various modern laces are called
+Guipure, but the word is misapplied, since Guipure lace is that kind
+only where one thread is twisted round another thread or another
+substance, as in the ancient Guipure d'Art.
+
+In every design where lace can be introduced, Guipure d'Art will be
+found useful. It looks particularly well when mounted upon quilted silk
+or satin. The squares, when worked finely, look well as toilet-cushions,
+or, if worked in coarser thread, make admirable couvrettes, and as
+covers for eider-down silk quilts are very elegant. Guipure squares
+should be connected by guipure lace, crochet, or tatting, or they may be
+edged with narrow guipure lace and joined at the corners only when
+placed over coloured silk or satin; thus arranged, a sofa-cushion
+appears in alternate squares of plain and lace-covered silk; a ruche of
+ribbon and fall of lace to correspond completes this pretty mounting.
+
+Not one of the least important attractions of Guipure d'Art is the speed
+with which it is worked, and the ease with which fresh patterns are
+designed by skilful workers.
+
+GUIPURE D'ART is an imitation of the celebrated ancient Guipure Lace,
+and is worked in raised and intersected patterns upon a square network
+of linen thread, Mecklenburg thread of various sizes being used for this
+purpose. The needles employed are blunt, and have large eyes, to admit
+the linen thread.
+
+Materials required: One frame of wire covered with silk ribbon; one
+square of Mecklenburg thread net (_fillet_), either coarse or fine;
+Mecklenburg thread; netting-needles and meshes of various sizes.
+
+The netted foundation, or "_fillet_," upon which this elegant work is
+embroidered, can be made by ladies very easily, and at much less cost
+than when bought ready made.
+
+The square is worked by netting with coarse No. 2 or fine No.10 thread
+over a mesh measuring three-quarters of an inch or more, in rows
+backwards and forwards. Begin with 2 stitches, and increase 1 at the end
+of every row till you have one more stitch than is required for the
+number of holes. Thus, if a square of 26 holes is required, continue to
+increase up to 27 stitches, then decrease 1 at the end of every row till
+2 stitches only remain. The last 2 stitches are knotted together without
+forming a fresh stitch.
+
+The completed foundation is laced upon the frame, taking the lacing
+cotton through the double edge formed by the increased and decreased
+stitches. If the four corners of the netting are tied at each corner of
+the frame before beginning the lacing, that operation is greatly
+facilitated. The netting should be laced as tightly as possible, it
+being far easier to darn on than when loose.
+
+[Illustration: 503.--Frame for Guipure d'Art.]
+
+Ladies who wish to excel in working guipure d'art should practise each
+of the stitches until they attain perfect regularity and quickness in
+their execution. Two or three hours devoted to this in the first
+instance will not be time wasted, as the most elaborate pattern will be
+worked with ease as soon as the stitches are mastered.
+
+The Mecklenburg thread of Messrs. Walter Evans and Co., of Derby, will
+be found a better colour than any other, as it closely resembles the
+shade of the ancient guipure lace.
+
+It is sold only in spools of 200 yards each, and the numbers run as
+follow; No. 2, 4, 6, 8, lo, 12, 16, 20; No. 2 being the coarsest, and
+No. 20 the finest.
+
+The principal stitches used in guipure d'art are POINT D'ESPRIT, POINT
+DE TOILE, POINT DE FESTON, POINT DE REPRISE, POINT DE BRUXELLES, and
+WHEELS and STARS. POINT D'ESPRIT is worked with finer cotton than the
+foundation, say No. 10 on a foundation of No. 6. It consists of a
+succession of small loops, as will be seen clearly in the illustration.
+The learner should begin from the mark * No. 503, and working a row of
+loops the length required, turn the frame and work loops on the opposite
+half of each square intersecting the first worked loops in the centre of
+each intervening bar of netting. A careful examination of Nos. 503 and
+506 will explain this more clearly than is possible in words.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 504.--Point d'Esprit.]
+
+POINT DE TOILE, or LINEN STITCH, is plain darning under and over each
+thread; this forms a fine close groundwork, and is much used in guipure
+d'art. Care should be taken to keep the same number of stitches in each
+square, both along and across; the number of threads shown in
+illustration No. 504 is 4 only, but 6 and even 8 are used in many netted
+foundations in fine patterns.
+
+[Illustration: 505.--Point de Toile.]
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+POINT DE FESTON is worked by a series of overcast stitches, as seen by
+illustration 506, which clearly shows the manner of working. The frame
+is turned at each stitch, the stitches are taken across the squares, and
+increase in length at the top of the square.
+
+[Illustration: 506.--Point de Feston.]
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+POINT DE REPRISE, or DARNING, is worked by stretching 2 or 3 threads
+over 1, or 2, or more squares. The thread is darned over and under, and
+the needle used to arrange the last stitch while passing through to form
+the next. This stitch is very easily acquired. It is always worked with
+coarser thread than the foundation; No. 2 thread should be employed for
+a coarse groundwork. No. 510 shows this stitch used to form stars,
+figures, &c.
+
+[Illustration: 507--Point de Reprise.]
+
+[Illustration: 508.--Leaf.]
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+POINT DE BRUXELLES, as shown on pages 506 and 507, is a kind of loose
+button-hole stitch, and is used for forming various patterns and for
+filling up squares. It also forms "leaves," when the number of stitches
+is decreased each row until the leaf finishes off in a point. Nos. 509
+and 510 clearly show this stitch.
+
+[Illustration: 509.--Point de Bruxelles.]
+
+[Illustration: 510.--Point de Bruxelles.]
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+WHEELS are easy to work, and are begun in the centre. Four threads are
+taken across, as shown in design No. 511; the thread is twisted in
+bringing it back to the centre, and the wheel formed by passing the
+thread under and over the netting and the crossing threads. It is
+fastened off on the back of the several wheels.
+
+[Illustration: 511.--Wheel (commenced).]
+
+[Illustration: 512.--Wheel.]
+
+Wheel No. 513 is a square wheel, and is worked in the same manner, with
+the addition of point d'esprit loops, through which, and under and over
+the cross-twisted threads, 4 or 5 rows of thread are passed.
+
+[Illustration: 513.--Square Wheel.]
+
+[Illustration: 514.--Wheel larger than its real size.]
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+STARS are of various form, as shown in Nos. 516, 517, 518, 519, and 520.
+
+No. 516 is worked in point de feston (see page 507) round a single
+square hole, which is filled in by a small wheel or rosette.
+
+No. 517 is worked in point de feston and point de Bruxelles,
+alternately round a centre simply crossed by point d'esprit threads.
+
+[Illustration: 516.--Star.]
+
+No. 518 is more elaborate, and is worked thus:--Begin at the place
+marked _a_; twist the linen thread 3 times round the nearest thread,
+draw it on to the knot _b_; repeat this 3 times, following the order of
+the letters; twist the linen thread also between the threads, as can be
+seen from the illustration, and fasten it underneath the knot _a_; for
+the wheel fasten on the cotton afresh and work the remaining pattern in
+darning stitch (point de reprise).
+
+[Illustration: 517.--Star.]
+
+[Illustration: 518.--Star.]
+
+No. 520 consists of a double cross formed by twisted loops of linen
+thread. Copy these loops exactly from illustration 520 One part of the
+straight cross lies underneath, then comes the slanting cross, and
+lastly, the other part of the straight cross.
+
+[Illustration: 519.--Detail of Star.]
+
+[Illustration: 520.--Star.]
+
+In the centre the loops of linen thread are fastened with two rounds of
+stitches. (See illustration 520).
+
+OVERCAST STITCH is worked like embroidery overcast, and forms the stems
+of the flowers and leaves of guipure d'art; it is worked over one or two
+coarse threads. It is employed in No. 530, and forms the triangles in
+the centre of the middle squares.

+521.--_Insertion in Guipure d'Art._
+
+Materials: Guipure frame netting of 6 holes wide; Mecklenburg thread No.
+8 or 10; needle No. 7.
+
+For the netted foundation, which is six holes wide, begin at one corner
+with 2 stitches, work 5 rows, at the end of each of which increase 1
+stitch, continue to work the strip with the same number of stitches,
+alternately decreasing 1 at the end of one row and increasing 1 at the
+end of the next. For decreasing net 2 stitches together, for increasing
+net 2 stitches in the same hole. When the strip is sufficiently long,
+complete it by decreasing in the same proportion as the increasing at
+the beginning. As the pattern is so clearly shown in the illustration,
+it will be very easy to work from it. It is worked in point de feston
+and star wheels; the border is in point d'esprit. The insertion is
+finished on either side with a row of button-hole stitches.

+
+Materials: Frame; 1 square of netting; Mecklenburg reel thread Nos. 8
+and 10; needle No. 6.
+
+[Illustration: 523.--Pattern of Square for D'Oyley.]
+
+This square may be used to form part of a couvrette, or a d'oyley, or
+pincushion. The three other corners of the square are worked exactly
+like the one seen in illustration; the rosette in the centre is shown in
+full size. The square is worked in point d'esprit, linen stitch, and
+point de reprise. Each of the leaves of the foliage is worked in one
+hole of the netting; they are worked by throwing the cotton three times
+across the hole, and working darning stitch on them. The stem is worked
+in overcast on the thread of the netting. The daisy in the centre is
+worked like the leaves, each leaf taking up one or more holes of the
+netting.

+526.--_Strip of Insertion in Guipure d'Art._
+
+Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Mecklenburg thread No. 8.
+
+This strip of insertion is 8 stitches wide, and is worked in zigzag
+lines of point de feston, with a border of point d'esprit and point de
+toile; a four-point star occupies the centre of the triangle left by the
+zigzag line. This pattern is so easy to work that it hardly needs
+description, the only part requiring care being the squares of point de
+feston; these are begun in the centre, and the thread should be drawn
+rather tightly so as to form a good square.

+No. 531. The outer border of this pretty square is worked in point
+d'esprit, the inner border in point de toile; then follows a round of
+small wheels or rosettes.
+
+For these, fasten the cotton to one of the knots of the first square
+stitch of this round, work one loop upon each of the three other knots,
+so as to form a slanting cross; then work round the centre point of the
+cross, passing alternately under and over its branches, then twist the
+cotton over the threads of the foundation until the next square is
+reached, and begin another wheel.
+
+[Illustration: 532.--Square Pattern in Guipure d'Art.]
+
+The centre of No. 531 is composed of wheels and point de reprise; the

+No. 532 has similar borders to No. 531; the centre is occupied by a star
+(see page 512) in point de feston; four large wheels surround this; the
+square stitches between are filled with small wheels and with groups of
+long loops, fastened together in sheaves. Point d'esprit and point de
+toile, worked one way only, complete this square.

+540 _and_ 541.--_Square in Guipure Point de Venise (Reticella)_
+
+Materials: Coarse or fine linen; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s
+Mecklenburg thread No. 4 or 12.
+
+[Illustration: 540.--Square in Point de Venise.]
+
+[Illustration: 541.--Quarter Square in Reticella Work (Enlarged).]
+
+This square is worked in the so-called point de Venise, together with
+other squares; it is very pretty for covers, toilet cushions, &c. It is
+worked on coarse or fine linen, according to the use you wish to make
+of it. Prepare a square piece of linen, by drawing out long and cross
+threads, so as to form perfect squares. In the pattern No. 540, which is
+worked on fine linen, 28 threads have been drawn out, both the long and
+cross way; 8 squares are formed in this way each time that 28 threads
+have been drawn out; leave 7 or 8 threads of the ground, which form the
+framework. Then fasten the piece of linen on cardboard, and work close
+button-hole stitch round the inner edge Then work with darning stitch
+over the long and cross threads of the ground.
+
+From No. 541, which shows the fourth part of the square 4 times larger
+than full size, it is easy to see how the framework is darned. When the
+latter is entirely darned, work the patterns in the different squares in
+button-hole stitch. The circular and serpentine patterns consist of 3
+rows of button-hole stitch; the patterns which imitate whole rosettes
+and half rosettes are worked in rows of button-hole stitch. For each row
+the thread must be first drawn from one place to the other, as can be
+seen in illustration, and fastened on the framework. The knots in the
+last button-hole stitched row are made by working in each stitch when
+completed, another stitch, and drawing the cotton again through the
+first completed knot. It is easy, however, to work all the patterns from
+No. 541. The dotted lines in the right-hand corner show the direction of
+the patterns which are wanting there. The square is edged all round with
+an open-work hem, which can also be worked from No. 541.

+
+Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Mecklenburg thread No. 20, and
+cotton No. 80.
+
+For working this cover, one part of which is shown in our illustration
+two-thirds of its full size, work first a straight strip of netting for
+the foundation, which must count as many holes in width as are required
+for the width of the covering. The size of the holes depends on the size
+of the knitting-needle or mesh which you use. The pattern is worked with
+cotton No. 80, over a steel knitting-needle which measures two-fifths of
+an inch round. Begin the strip in one corner. Cast on 2 stitches, and
+work in rows backwards and forwards, increasing 1 stitch at the end of
+every row, till you have 1 stitch more than the stripe is to have holes
+in width, on our pattern 68 stitches; then work 1 row on the same number
+of stitches, and then increase alternately 1 stitch at the end of 1 row,
+and decrease 1 at the end of the next, till the strip is 250 stitches
+long. The strip is finished off in a straight line at the bottom by
+working a certain number of rows in which the last stitch remains
+untouched. At the beginning of the row do not work 1 stitch ever the
+mesh, but only 1 knot in the stitch of the preceding row, so that the
+cotton is drawn on tight. When the strip is completed, trace from No.
+568 the outlines for the pattern of each of the eight parts of the
+parasol with double thread, in such a manner that two parts lie next to
+each other, but reversed, that is, the point of one part must lie next
+to the wide part of the next part. Then work in each part the pattern
+seen in illustration, and afterwards each part round with button-hole
+stitch, working over the double outline. Cut out the different parts,
+and sew them together on the wrong side with close overcast stitch.

+button. The back, front, side, and the flap are worked all in one piece.
+The netting is worked with white thread No. 12, over a mesh measuring at
+least two-fifths of an inch round. For the flap the netting must be
+slanted off on both sides; this is done either by decreasings, or by
+cutting off the corners of the work. The latter is then darned in linen
+stitch, darning stitch, and point d'esprit, from No. 572, which shows
+the front of the case, and from No. 571, which shows the back. The
+netting is then lined with blue satin, and sewn together at the sides
+with button-hole stitches on the right side. The flap is edged with
+button-hole stitch; sew on a small button, and make a small loop to

+
+Materials: Netting; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Mecklenburg thread
+No. 12; carved oak stand; glace silk; cords; tassels.
+
+Banner-screens are used in two ways, either suspended from the
+mantelpiece or mounted as shown in illustration No. 573. The banner is
+23 inches long, 19 inches wide, lined with coloured glace silk, and
+edged with a lace border of guipure d'art. The design for the banner is
+given in page 554. Work the netting for the groundwork over a larger or
+smaller mesh, according to the size you wish it to be. The pattern is
+worked in point d'esprit, point de reprise, and point de toile. When the
+ pattern is completed, line the banner with coloured silk, edge with a
+gathered border of guipure d'art, finish with coloured silk cords and
+tassels. The banner may be finished off in close button-hole stitch,
+instead of adding the lace border.

+BERLIN WORK
+
+
+INSTRUCTIONS.
+
+Berlin Work includes every kind of stitch which is made upon canvas with
+wool, silk, or beads. The principal stitches used are common cross
+stitch, Gobelin stitch, leviathan stitch, raised or velvet stitch, tent
+stitch, and others. The materials and needle must always be carefully
+chosen of a corresponding size. For common cross stitch and raised
+stitch Penelope canvas must be used; for small articles, such as
+slippers, bags, or borders, single Berlin wool is preferable; for larger
+ones fleecy wool or double Berlin wool (the latter, however, is much
+more expensive). For Gobelin stitch and tent stitch undivided canvas
+(not Penelope) is required. Purse silk is often used for the latter; it
+is more brilliant than floss silk or filoselle. Floss silk is generally
+used for other stitches because it covers the thread of the canvas
+better than purse silk; it is, however, often replaced by filoselle,
+which is a much cheaper material. Moss wool is hardly ever used. Before
+beginning to work upon a piece of canvas the raw edges must be hemmed or
+sewn over with wool. Care must be taken not to crumple the canvas in
+the course of the work. It is best to roll one end of the canvas upon a
+round piece of deal while the other end is kept down upon the table with
+a lead cushion. Handsome artistic patterns should always be worked in a
+frame. When you undertake to work a large pattern begin in the centre,
+and complete one half before you commence the other. Always work the
+stitches in the same direction, from the top downwards--this is very
+essential to the beauty and regularity of the pattern.
+
+Always begin with the colour which is used the oftenest; those colours
+that lose their dye in working must be put in last. When the pattern is
+finished begin the grounding. The wool must not be drawn too tightly,
+otherwise the threads of the canvas appear. If the wool is too coarse
+for the canvas, one long stitch is to be made from left to right as far
+as the particular colour is to be worked, and over this long stitch,
+cross back in the usual way.
+
+The plainest stitch in Berlin wool work is the common cross stitch;
+illustrations 577 to 584 show varieties of the same.
+
+We now proceed in the following pages to show, by description in writing
+and by most careful illustration, all the stitches which are used in
+Berlin Work. These are numerous, but neither too great in number nor too
+simple or too elaborate in execution for those who aspire to become
+Berlin workers.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 577.--Common Cross Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 577.--The common cross stitch is worked in rows backwards
+and forwards over 2 threads in height and 2 in width (square of the
+canvas) in straight lines; the 1st row is worked from left to right; the
+2nd row, which completes the stitches, from right to left. Illustration
+577 shows 2 rows of completed stitches and 1 row in course of working.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 578.--Long Cross Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 578 shows the long cross stitch. It is worked like the
+preceding one, only over 4 threads in height and 2 in width.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 579.--Long Cross Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 579 shows a long cross stitch, which is worked like the
+preceding one, except that 2 threads are missed between 2 stitches, and
+in the next row the stitches are worked between those in the preceding
+row. This stitch is not worked in rows backwards and forwards; each
+stitch is completed before beginning the next.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 580.--Slanting Cross Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 580.--The long slanting cross stitch is worked like No.
+578, in rows backwards and forwards; the 1st row is slanting, the 2nd is
+straight. The places for inserting the needle and for drawing it out are
+marked on the illustration with a cross and dot.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 581.--Damask Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 581.--The damask stitch is worked in single rows from left
+to right, over 4 threads in height and 2 in width. The stitches of one
+row come between those of the next. The cross and dot shown in
+illustration are where to insert and draw out the needle.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 582.--Rep Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 582 shows the rep stitch--a variety of the preceding. The
+first half of it is worked slantways over 6 threads in height and 2 in
+width, the second half, like the common cross stitch, from right to left
+over the 3rd and 4th of the 6 canvas threads; each stitch is completed
+at once. The illustration shows the last stitch being worked; the first
+half of the stitch is completed; the dot shows where the needle must be
+inserted for the second half; it is drawn out where the cross is placed
+on illustration.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 583.--Leviathan Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 583.--The leviathan stitch consists of 1 slanting and 1
+straight cross stitch over 4 threads in height and 4 in width. Each
+stitch is completed immediately. No. 583 shows one half of the stitch
+completed and the wool as it must be placed for working the first half
+of the straight cross stitch.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 584.--Leviathan Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 584.--The leviathan stitch is worked exactly like the
+preceding, only the stitches are not worked on the same threads in the
+different rows, as may be seen from illustration.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 585.--Double Leviathan Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 585.--The double leviathan stitch is a variety of the
+preceding; it is worked over 6 threads in height and as many in width.
+Make a common cross stitch over these 6 threads, then a long cross
+stitch in height and a long cross stitch in width. Illustration 585
+shows 2 stitches completed and 1 being worked.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 586.--Tent Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 586.--Tent stitch. Each stitch is worked over 1 stitch in
+height and 1 in width, and is worked in rows from left to right.

+
+[Illustration: 587.--Slanting Gobelin Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 587.--The slanting Gobelin stitch is worked on undivided
+canvas; each stitch is worked over 3 threads in height and 2 in width,
+divided from the next stitch only by an interval of 1 thread.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+[Illustration: 588.--Straight Gobelin Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 588.--The straight Gobelin stitch is worked over 2 threads
+in height with 1 thread between, so that the stitches appear more
+raised; they are worked over thin cord or a thick piece of wool.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+ILLUSTRATION 589.--The raised or velvet stitch is worked over small
+round wooden meshes, and forms small raised loops. Take 2 similar meshes
+and as many threaded needles as there are colours in the work; make
+first a slanting stitch, as for the beginning of the common cross
+stitch, but instead of drawing out the needle straight under the place
+where it was inserted, draw it out exactly at the same place, so as to
+form a slanting stitch on the right and on the wrong side; then begin to
+work over 1 mesh; insert the needle above it and draw it out in a
+slanting direction underneath. On the wrong side of the work a regular
+cross stitch is formed. Illustration 589 shows 2 rows of velvet stitch
+completed and 2 rows being worked; the first of the latter is yet on the
+mesh, the second being worked so as to show the position of the wool
+upon the mesh. Observe that the rows of the velvet stitch are worked
+upwards, and that 2 meshes are necessary, because the lower one must not
+be drawn out before the next row is completed. The loops may be cut open
+if preferred.
+
+[Illustration: 589.--Raised or Velvet Stitch.]

+
+[Illustration: 590.--Plaited Stitch.]
+
+ILLUSTRATION 590.--The plaited stitch is worked like the herring-bone
+stitch. Each stitch is worked over 4 threads in height and 4 in width.
+Illustration 590 shows one part of the plaited stitch completed, and the
+place where the needle is to be inserted for the next stitch is marked
+by a dot. For the next stitch the needle is carried under the 2 threads
+below the stitches of the preceding row.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+ILLUSTRATION 591.--The plush stitch is also worked upwards. Begin to
+work a common cross stitch, then insert the needle through the canvas
+over 2 threads in height and 2 in width, downwards in a slanting
+direction. Do not draw the wool close up, but leave a loop hanging down
+about four-fifths of an inch long, and make 1 more common cross stitch
+to fasten the loop. This stitch can also be worked over flat meshes.
+Work a common cross stitch at the end of every row. When the work is
+completed the loops are cut open and clipped, as may be seen from
+illustration.
+

+
+ILLUSTRATIONS 592 to 594.--Three Berlin wool work borders for trimming
+baskets, &c. No. 592.--The 2 outer rows which edge the border are worked
+in long straight cross stitch; each stitch is crossed in the centre with
+a back stitch.
+
+[Illustration: 592.--Berlin Work Border.]
+
+The grounding consists of 2 rows of vandykes placed opposite each other,
+which are formed of long straight stitches of different lengths. The
+squares in the centre are formed in the same way, and are completed in
+the middle with a knot. No. 593.--The ground is worked in cross stitch,
+the raised patterns in satin stitch; in the middle of each pattern there
+is a cross stitch. The outer rows are worked in half cross stitch over 2
+threads in height and 4 in width in 2 different shades. No. 594.--The
+petals of the flowers are worked over 4 threads in height and in width,
+and consisting of 4 slanting stitches.
+
+[Illustration: 593--Berlin Work Border.]
+
+[Illustration: 594.--Berlin Work Border.]
+
+In the centre the flower is completed by a knot; the ground in cross
+stitch is completed on either side by a narrow border of scallops,
+formed of slanting stitches divided in the centre by 1 slanting stitch.
+It is easy to work these stitches from illustration. The choice of
+colours depends upon what use the border is intended for and upon
+personal taste.

+Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no

+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to

+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and

+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+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
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+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
+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
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at

+     gbnewby@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.
