the long stalk, 5 chain, 1 plain on the 2nd picot of the 1st petal of
the preceding leaf, 5 chain, 1 single on the 2nd picot of the 4th petal
of the top leaf, 4 chain, 1 plain on the 4th single of the stalk, 3

plain on the 6th picot of the top leaf, 3 chain, 1 plain on the little

Three and even four rows of leaves may be joined together in this manner
and make a very handsome lace, particularly suitable for church linen.

INSERTION WITH WAVED BRAID (fig. 464).--1 plain stitch at the point of
the braid, 7 chain, 1 single on the 2nd chain. On the next chain
stitches: 1 half-treble, 1 treble, 1 double treble, 1 triple treble, 1
plain on the next point of the braid.

Repeat the same stitches on the second side, only that after the 6th
chain stitch, you draw the thread through the 7th of the 1st finished
row.

Little wheels, set between the crochet pyramids, and described in the
chapters on filet-guipure and Irish lace, complete the insertion.

treble, at the third of the leaf, 1 double treble at the 2nd third of
