e setting, towards the top is made exactly in the same manner as the
wide part of the upper square, that is, as from the 3rd scallop of the
first semicircle to the 5th scallop of the 2nd. From this point, the
series of stitches changes, so as to form a rounded edge: * 7 chain, 1
plain on the 6th scallop; 15 chain, 2 triple trebles joined by the last
loops to the 7th and 1st scallop; 14 chain, 1 plain on the 2nd of the 5
scallops; 15 chain, 1 plain on the 3rd scallop; 15 chain, 1 plain on the
4th scallop, 15 chain **, 2 triple trebles joined by the last loops in
the 5th and 1st scallop. Repeat once again from ** to * = add 1 row of
plain on each stitch of the preceding row; 3 plain on the two top corner
stitches. You will thus have 3 figures with a rounded edge on one side.
The second kind of square consists of 8 leaves inside and is begun in
the same way by 6 chain formed into a ring.
1st row--5 chain, 1 treble, 2 chain, * 1 treble, 2 chain. Repeat 6 times
from * and join to the 3rd of the 5 chain.
2nd row--1 chain, 3 plain over 2 chain, 1 plain on each treble.
3rd row--9 chain, * miss 1 stitch = coming back: 1 single, 1 plain, 1
half treble, 1 treble, 1 double treble, 1 triple treble, 1 treble over
the treble of the 2nd row; 7 chain. Repeat 7 times from * = after the
8th point: 7 single along the 1st.
4th row--* 1 plain on the stitch you missed at the point, 5 chain, 1
triple treble on the treble of the 3rd row, 5 chain. Repeat 7 times from
*.
5th row--3 chain, 1 treble on each stitch of the 4th row; join to the
3rd of the 3 chain.
6th row--10 chain, 1 plain on the treble over the triple treble of the
4th row: 10 chain, 1 plain on the treble above the little point.
7th row--15 plain on the 10 chain = on the 3rd scallop only: * 7 plain,
10 chain, come back to the second scallop, bring the thread back from
the wrong side to the right between the 7th and 8th plain stitches, 15
plain on the 3rd scallop, 8 plain on the next scallop, 15 plain and
repeat 6 times from *.
When the 16th scallop is finished, pass to the point of the 1st scallop
by means of 7 single, then add the 10 chain to pass to the 8th scallop
above; when that is finished, fasten off, and fasten on again to one of
the 8 scallops.
8th row--* 21 chain, miss 1 stitch, 1 plain, 1 half treble, 1 treble, 1
treble 11/2 treble long, 1 double treble, 1 treble 21/2 trebles long, 1
triple treble, 1 treble 31/2 trebles long, 1 quadruple treble, 1 tre
