e close; and for the

2nd [OE]ILLET--Commence a loop half an inch from the last and work 2
double, then join to the last pearl loop, work 2 double, 1 pearl, 2
double, 1 pearl, 2 double, draw close. Join to the Silk left between
the [oe]illets, which will keep it firm; and there will now be about a
quarter of an inch between the [oe]illets, which is just sufficient to
keep the work straight, Repeat the 2nd [oe]illet until there are 21,
then leave a quarter of an inch of silk and join to the last pearl,
leave another quarter and join to the next pearl, which is the centre
one of the [oe]illet. Turn the work and join to the centre pearl loop
of each [oe]illet, leaving a quarter of an inch between to make a
straight line to correspond with the first side. Fasten off.

With the black or colored silk and crochet needle commence in one of
the spaces of gold left between the [oe]illets, work 5 chain and 1
plain in the centre pearl loop of the next [oe]illet, 5 chain, 1 plain
in the next space; repeat round both sides of the Band and fasten off.
In the first side the plain stitch must be worked in the joining
stitch at the end of the [oe]illet.
