ch on the 5th of the 8 chain.

2nd row--* 1 chain, 5 plain on the first 3 chain, 5 plain on the next 3
chain. On these 10 plain stitches, working to and fro, 9 rows of plain
stitches, decreasing by 1 in each row; after the last stitch, come back
along the side of the little triangle, and make 1 single stitch in every
row, 1 plain on the treble of the 1st row **; repeat 3 times from * to
**.

These small triangles must be worked over 1 single treble and between 2
double trebles.

When the 4th triangle is finished, make directly, starting from the last
stitch at the point, and along the side: 3 plain, 1 picot, 3 plain, 1
picot, 3 plain; 1 single stitch on the treble; all the triangles must be
edged, in this same manner on both sides; on the stitch that forms the
point: 3 plain stitches.

3rd row--* 17 chain, drop the loop = bring it to the front, through the
plain stitch that lies between 2 triangles; returning, make 10 single
stitches backwards on the 10 chain. You make stitches like this,
backwards, in all the trebles that follow, that is, the loop is dropped
after each stitch, and brought forward from the wrong side to the right
= 13 chain, join to the 5th single, counting upwards from below = 7
single on the chain stitches; 13 chain, join to the other trebles; 6
chain, 1 single on the stitch at the point of the triangle **; repeat 3
times from * to **. = The chain stitches for the trebles, must be drawn
up very tight.

4th row--1 plain on each of the stitches of the preceding row, 3 plain
on the corner stitch. On each side there must be 29 plain stitches, not
counting the corner ones.

5th row = 6 chain, miss 2 stitches of the row beneath, * 1 double
treble, 2 chain; repeat 3 times from * = 2 chain, 1 double treble, 2
chain, 1 double treble on the same stitch as the 1st treble = 2 chain, 1
double treble on the same stitch as the 1st treble = 2 chain, 1 double
treble on the same stitch as the two first trebles = 10 times to the
next corner: 2 chain, 1 double treble, 3 double trebles, each of them
with 2 chain stitches at the corner; repeat the same on each of the 4
sides.

6th row--1 plain on each of the stitches of the last row, 3 plain on the
corner stitch = cut off the thread. Join the next squares together at
once by the last corner stitch.
