of the 5th and 6th scallop. Repeat from ** to *; and make
4 figures with rounded edges. When all the figures are finished, join
them together by trebles of a suitable length.

Introduce the thread at the corner stitch on the widest side of the 2nd
8 pointed star and make: 1 plain, 6 chain, miss 3 stitches, 1 plain on
the 3 next stitches, 4 chain, miss 2, 1 plain on the next 3 plain
stitches.

Make 11 loops in this manner, each consisting of 4 chain and 3 plain,
then 2 loops of 3 chain and 2 plain = then miss as many stitches of the
square at the edge of the collar as were left empty in the second
square; 2 plain and draw the loop each time through the 2 last stitches
of the opposite square = 1 chain, 1 single on the 2nd chain stitch of
the opposite side; 1 chain, 3 plain on the edge of the first square, 1
chain, 1 single, 1 chain, miss 3 stitches, 3 plain, 5 chain, bring the
loop from the wrong side to the right = on the chain stitches: 4 plain,
2 chain, miss 3, 3 plain.

From this point onwards, fasten all the bars of chain stitches to the
loops produced by the same stitches in the 2nd square. Thus, the 1st bar
consisting of 5 chain, the 2nd will consist of 7 chain on which make 7
plain, and then add 2 more chain. Nowhere must the two first chain
stitches be uncovered.

The 3rd bar must consist of 9 chain, 9 plain and 2 chain = the 4th of 11
chain, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 2 chain = the 5th of 13 chain, 4
plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 2 chain = the 6th of 16
chain, 6 plain, 1 picot, 6 plain, 1 picot, 6 plain, 2 chain = the 7th of
18 chain, 5 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain,
2 chain = the 8th of 21 chain, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5
plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 2 chain = the 9th of 24 chain, 5 plain, 1
picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 2
chain = the 10th of 26 chain, 6 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5
plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 6 plain, 2 chain = the 11th and last
of 28 chain, 32 plain, 2 chain, fasten off.

As the square with the semicircles in it, has more plain stitches in the
edge than the one with the eight-pointed star in it, the stitches must
be divided so that you miss 3 from time to time, instead of two. When
the 7 top figures are finished, join the 7 bottom ones to them, each
separately, by a row of plain stitches, made on the wrong side of the
work. Below the first square with the semicircles, comes the
eight-
