Begin with a foundation chain, in coa.r.s.e ecru twist, the light st.i.tch in the middle of the heading of the fringe being also made of the same material.

In the next row, you use the twist and the braid together, as follows--with the twist = 1 chain st.i.tch, put the needle into the first st.i.tch of the foundation chain, take up the braid, draw it through, turn the twist round the needle, draw it through the braid and the chain st.i.tch. To make the braid loops longer, they may be made over a wooden ruler. To the two rows of braid st.i.tches, represented in the pattern, you may add as many other rows as you please. On the fringed side make: 4 plain, 3 chain, draw out one very long loop and fasten into it a cl.u.s.ter of lengths of braid from 10 to 12 c/m. long, and draw the loop tightly round it to secure the ta.s.sel; 3 plain on the chain st.i.tches.

Repeat from *.

LACE WITH TWO ROWS OF LEAVES (fig. 463).--This is one of the pleasantest crochet patterns to work that we know. The leaves are made separately and fastened into a foundation with thread, at least two numbers finer than that of which the leaves are made.

Leaf with 5 petals: 8 chain, make a ring = 2 plain on the ring = 1st petal * 11 chain, miss 3 chain, 1 half-treble on the 8th chain, 1 chain, miss the 7th chain, 1 treble on the 6th chain, 1 chain, 1 treble on the 4th chain, 1 chain, 1 treble on the 3rd chain, 2 chain, 2 plain on the ring.

The 4th petal is worked like the 2nd; the 5th like the 1st, to be followed by 1 single on the 1st of the 3 chain st.i.tches of the ring.

For the stalk: 14 chain; miss 1, 9 plain on the 9 chain; 6 chain, miss 1, 5 plain on the 5 chain, 4 plain on the chain st.i.tches that are still disengaged, 2 single on the ring and then fasten the thread off with a few st.i.tches.

When you have enough leaves, join them together by a row of picots, working from left to right as follows: * take the second petal on the right side of a leaf, put the thread into the 12th st.i.tch; make 2 plain, 1 picot, 1 plain on the st.i.tch on which the picot was made = in all the leaves, the 3rd plain before the picot and the first after, meet in the same st.i.tch beneath = 2 plain, 1 picot, 3 plain, 2 chain = on the 8th st.i.tch of the 3rd petal: 1 plain, 2 plain more on the next st.i.tches **, 1 picot, 3 plain. Repeat 6 times from ** and finish with 2 chain.

On the 7th st.i.tch of the 4th petal: 1 plain, 2 plain on the next st.i.tches ***, 1 picot, 3 plain. Repeat 4 times from ***.

On the 5th st.i.tch of the 5th petal: 1 plain, and on the 4 next, 4 plain ****. Repeat from * to ** round each leaf, then instead of a picot, make 4 chain, join between the 1st and 2nd picot, 4 chain, close the picot.

From this point the preceding series of st.i.tches takes the place of the picot that immediately follows the sign **; proceed to ****.

Foundation for the footing of the lace, with a single row of leaves.--When all the leaves are joined together, take the finer number of cotton and fasten your thread to the last st.i.tch of the small stalk; then make: * 2 chain, 1 plain on the 9th st.i.tch of the 5th petal; 6 chain, miss 2, 1 plain on the 3rd st.i.tch; 6 chain, 1 plain on the 3rd st.i.tch, 1 chain, 1 plain on the 5th st.i.tch of the 4th petal; 6 chain, 1 plain on the 3rd chain; 2 chain, 1 plain on the 4th st.i.tch (counting from the bottom) of the 5th petal of the next leaf; 3 chain, 1 single on the last st.i.tch of the long stalk; 3 chain, join to the 3rd chain st.i.tch, 3 chain, draw the thread again in coming back through the 3rd of the second set of 6 chain st.i.tches in the 1st petal; 1 single; turning back and from left to right: 1 single on the plain st.i.tch between the chain st.i.tches, 6 chain, 1 plain on the 2nd of the last 3 chain, 6 chain, 1 plain on the stalk, 6 chain, 1 plain on the 3rd st.i.tch of the stalk; 6 chain, 1 plain on the 4th st.i.tch of the stalk; 7 chain, 1 plain at the top of the little stalk, then repeat from *.
