We commence to give this month the patternsand directions for making a most exquisitebouquet of flowers, of zephyr worsted, com-posed of a large rose, which forms the centre,and the smaller flowers which surround it—namely, a pansy, a convolvulus, an anemone,a ranunculus, a daisy, a poppy, a narcissus,and a primrose. THE KOSE is made of two shades of crimson or pink, thedarkest for the centre of the flower, the lighterfor the petals which surround Take sixty-five inches of the darkest wor-sted, hold the end firmly between the thumband fore-finger of your left hand, and makecircles by winding the worsted round the fingersthus pressed together.
