so that there may be in all, 13 times 5 chain stitches.
Add 2 triple trebles, the last loops of them, connected by a plain
stitch; the 1st triple treble on the 3 last chain stitches of the last
scallop, the 2nd on the plain stitch, that follows the 1st scallop of
the middle figure = 4 chain, 1 treble on the plain stitch of the 2nd
point. Repeat the same, reversed.
2nd row--On the first 5 chain of the last row: 5 plain = on the next 5
chain: 5 plain = on the 3 chain, leave a space: 5 plain, 12 chain, come
back and join to the 8th chain stitch by a single stitch = on the
scallop: 4 plain, 1 picot, 3 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain = and so on, until
you have 8 points altogether.
The plain stitches must be distributed as follows:
For the 2nd point: in the 4th space 4 plain, in the 5th space 3 plain =
for the 3rd point: in the 5th space, 2 plain, in the 6th space, 5 plain
= for the 4th point: in the 6th space 1 plain, in the 7th space 6 plain
= for the 5th point: in the 8th space 4 plain, in the 9th space 3 plain
= for the 6th point: in the 9th space 3 plain, in the 10th space 4 plain
= for the 7th point: in the 11th space 7 plain = for the 8th point: in
the 12th space 7 plain = 5 plain in each of the 2 remaining spaces.
CROCHET LACE (fig. 468).--This is always an effective pattern, in any
number of thread. It is not new, however, and is probably already known
to many of our readers as a pillow lace. Those who are not fond of
making pillow lace, will be glad to learn how to reproduce it in
crochet, as it makes a pretty trimming, both for wearing apparel and
furniture. For furniture, it should be made in unbleached cotton, for
articles of dress, in any of the of the finer numbers, referred to
above.
For the separate squares, cast on 10 chain stitches, and close the ring.
1st row--* 5 chain, 1 plain on the ring. Repeat 3 times from *.
2nd row--1 chain, 1 plain on the first 5 chain: * 5 chain, 1 plain = on
the first 5 chain of the 1st row: 2 chain, 1 plain on the second 5 chain
of the 1st row. Repeat 3 times from *.
3rd row--1 plain on the first 5 of the 2nd row: * 5 chain, 1 plain, 2
chain, 1 plain, 2 chain, 1 plain. Repeat 3 times from *.
In the 4th and following rows, go on increasing, as in the 3rd row,
until, on all 4 sides, you have 11 plain stitches between every 5 chain.
12th row--1 plain, 5 chain, 1 plain, * 1 picot made of 4 chain, 1 plain
between the 1st and the 2nd plain of the last row, 2 chain, 1
