Reversing thepoints on the seventh gathering thread workto the eighth, as on the line above. Thissecures a wave efTect on either side of adiamond. This is often named the doublediamond. This idea can be carried out in any num-ber of stitches, thus increasing tlic size ofthe wave and of the diamond, and severalrows of \va\e can be worked. When doingshaded work this idea is extremely desir-able. The three lines following this patternshow single outline, cable and single out-line, as in the beginning of the we have a point worked in the dia-mond stitch, using two stitches, one up andone down.

Work row after row in diamond stitch, drop-ping one-half diamond at each side of every row ; thusyou narrow to a point. This is an excellent piece ofwork for a beginner in smocking to practice on forplain and shaded work, and to firmly establish theprinciple of the point. In working the diamond point,one applies the same principle as in the cliamonds inthe centre of the middle row. Figure 26. — Here we have the Vandyke stitch, bothsingle and double. The double Vandyke is shown inline row of the band, with the familiar and on either side. The single Vandyke forms thepoint.
