Repeat to end of the loosen the third line by taking out the pin at the right side,hold it in right hand, and knot each thread twice on to it withthe left hand. To make the first leaf:—Take eight threads,hold the first one in the right hand, over the others, and knot each No. 19 of the seven threads twice on to it with the left hand. Take thefirst thread again, hold it in the right hand, and knot the threads onto it as before. Take the next eight threads, hold the eighth one inthe left hand, and knot each of the seven threads twice on to itwith the right hand. Take the eighth thread again, hold it in theright hand, and knot the seven threads on to it, as before. Thenmake a raised Picot, so :—Take the two centre threads of each leaf,and with these four threads make six Solomons knots; then passthe two centre threads between the two leaves, pointing them down ;then knot each of these threads on the two remaining ones, to fastenthem ; then take the eighth thread, hold it in the left hand, and knoteach of the seven threads twice on to it with the right hand; takethe eighth thread again, hold it in the left hand, and knot each of theseven threads on to it, as befor
