A treatise on lace-making, embroidery, and needle-work with Irish flax threads . same st attop, until there are 6 ridges onthe wrong side and 5^ on theright.

Both sides of the leaf will thus be alike, with the excep-tion that the 6th rib is not completed on the right side. In thelast row, make the 1st of the 3 sts at the top, 1 sc in the middle ofscallop of 14 tc of centre, then 2 dc in same place as 1st dc, andcomplete the row. Make another leaf, as before, join to the pre-ceding at the beginning of last row, omitting the 1 ch, joining to thenext scallop of small wheel at the top of leaf, as directed. The 8thleaf is joined at the end of last row to the 1st leaf, in same manner. A tidy of medium size requires 3 rows of these figures (illustratedin detail by Fig. 1), 3 in a row. They are joined at the tips of theleaves, by 2s, with needle and thread— the same of which the tidyis made or a little finer. Fig. 2 shows a section of the tidy with the. 48 barbours prize needle-work series. 8-leaved figures joined, the spaces being filled by wheels (Fig. 3)worked as follows:Ch 6, join. 1. Ch 3, for 1st tc, 15 tc in ring, join to top of 3 ch with 1 sc. 2. Ch 6, * miss 2, 1 tc between next 2, ch 3, repeat from * until8 sps are formed, join to 3d of 6 ch. 3. Ch 3, 5 tc in 1st sp, * tc on tc, 5 tc in next sp, repeat from *all around, join to top of 3 ch. 4. Ch 6, * miss 3, 1 tc between next 2, ch 3, repeat to form i««sps, fasten last 3 ch to 3d of 6 ch. 5. Ch 3 for 1 st tc, 2 tc in 1st sp, ch 7, 3 tc in same sp, * 3 tc innext sp, ch 7, 3 tc in same sp, repeat to form 16 loops of 7 ch, jointo top of 3 ch. 6. 14 tc in loop of 7 ch, 1 dc between groups of 3 tc each follow-ing, repeat all around, end with 1 dc, and fasten off. The wheel may be fastened in the spaces with needle and thread,or joined in when working, between 7th and 8th tc of every 4thscallop, th
