Strawbridge & Clothier's quarterly . hand thread broughtfrom the second group of four threads asthe right-hand thread of the first group;and, the right-hand thread brought fromthe first group as the left-hand thread of thesecond By this means we have the singlecrossing threads seen between the solidgroups in Figure 3. Having crossed thethreads, work beneath them a series of eightknots as before. Repeat the process acrossthe board, and so continue until four rowsof solid groups of eight knots, have beenformed, each row separated by a row ofcrossing threads. Pass all the hanging threads under thethird foundation-cord ; attach these to thelatter by double loops. Cut off the hang-ing cords and stitch their raw ends to theunder side with a needle. This will com-plete the second row and constitute themain part of the basket. The border for the upper part of thebasket is made from the fringe of loosethreads hanging over the upper edge of theboard. Begin at the right-hand of the desk,by knotting the first two threads together in. Fig. series ol alternate right-hand and left-hand knots; making in all fourteen six threads, fasten the two thread=hanging from the end of the series of knot*just made, around the foundation-cord by a plain knot, so as to form a scallop; leavingin the row immediately beneath it four olthe crossing bunches of knots forming thediamonds. In Figure 2, is given a detail ofthe scalloped border and of the open dia-monds. Having secured the scallop by aknot, cut off the threads closely and with aneedle fasten their raw ends underneath thework. Then of the threads skipped, take thesixth, and take up also the thread imme-diately succeeding the knot securing thescallop. Knot these two threads together,so as to form another series of fourteenknots. Secure as before, making anotherscallop ; taking care, however, to skip seventhreads this time instead of six. In pre-paring for the next scallop, take the sevenththread of the group of seven threadss
