st treble is on = 3 chain, 1 treble on
the same stitch as the 2 first trebles are on; 3 chain, 1 picot, 3
chain, 1 treble on the picot at the corner. Repeat once from ****.

Upper and lower edge--6 chain, 1 sextuple treble on the 2nd picot of the
lozenge = 6 chain, 1 triple treble on the 4th picot of the lozenge.
Coming back over the 2 trebles of 6 chain, work in 3 journeys to and
fro, 13 plain stitches.

After the 2nd row of plain stitches, 1 quintuple treble on the 6th
treble of the lozenge, and then 4 rows of plain stitches.

After the 6th row, pass at once to the leaves above the lozenge: *****
15 chain, 1 plain on the picot that forms the point of the lozenge =
turn the work to the wrong side = on the chain stitches work: ****** 3
plain, 1 half treble, 4 trebles, 1 half treble, 3 plain = turn the work
to the right side = returning and starting from the point of the leaf: 1
chain and 1 plain on each of the lower stitches.

For the 2nd leaf: 12 chain = turn the work and repeat, as for the former
leaf, from ***** to ******.

This leaf, being finished like the first, with this difference that it
ends at the upper point, you pass to the 2nd little square: 6 chain, 1
sextuple treble on the picot next to the leaves; 3 chain, 1 triple
treble on the 3rd picot, counted from the leaves = 6 chain, 1 sextuple
treble on the 5th picot of the lozenge; keep the 2 last loops of the
treble on the needle, 1 sextuple treble on the picot between every 3
chain of the small square with leaves; draw up the 2 last loops together
with those already on the needle = 6 chain, 1 triple treble on the picot
on the long side of the small square = 3 rows of 13 plain each.

With the last stitch of each of these rows, take 1 of the chain stitches
between the long trebles.

After the 3rd row: 1 sextuple treble on the first treble on the small
leaf of the small middle square = 3 rows of plain stitches to finish the
square, and repeat from *****.

The upper row is similar to this but should be worked from right to
left.

Scalloped edge.--In the right corner of the 1st oblong figure of the
outside corner: 1 double treble, 2 chain, 1 double treble on the 4th
plain stitch = 2 chain, 1 double treble on the stitch that forms the
corner stitch of the square = 2 chain, 1 plain at the extremity of the
first long leaf, 9 chain = 1 quadruple treble on the stitch between the
2 leaves = 2 chain, 1 quadruple treble on the same stitch and on the
1st treble
