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.

2nd petal: 15 chain, miss 3 chain, 1 half-treble *, 1 chain, miss 1
chain, 1 treble *. Repeat 4 times from * to *; add: 1 chain, 2 trebles
on the ring.

3rd petal: 21 chain, miss 3 chain, 1 half-treble *, 1 chain, miss 1, 1
treble *. Repeat 7 times from * to *; add: 1 chain, miss 1, 2 trebles in
the ring.

The 4th petal to be worked like the 3rd; the 5th like the 1st.

When the 5 petals are finished, make 2 plain stitches on the ring; then
on the chain stitches of the 1st petal: 2 plain, 7 trebles, 2 trebles on
the 10th stitch; then descending again: 7 trebles, 2 plain and 3 single
on the 3 plain stitches of the ring.

On the 2nd petal work: 3 plain, 10 trebles, 2 trebles on the 14th chain,
10 trebles, 3 plain, 2 single, on the 2 trebles on the ring.

3rd petal: 2 single, 3 plain, 14 trebles, 2 trebles on the 20th chain,
14 trebles, 3 plain, a single.

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 stitches 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 stitches that are still
disengaged, 2 single on the ring and then fasten the thread off with a
few stitches.

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 stitch; make 2 plain,
1 picot, 1 plain on the stitch on which the picot was made = in all the
leaves, the 3rd plain before the picot and the first after, meet in the
same stitch beneath = 2 plain, 1 picot, 3 plain, 2 chain = on the 8th
stitch of the 3rd petal: 1 plain, 2 plain more on the next stitches **,
1 picot, 3 plain. Repeat 6 times from ** and finish with 2 chain.
