With the claret silk make a chain of 132 stitches; closeit into a round, and work three rounds in open 1st Pattern round.— *4 dc with the gold, 2 chain withthe silk * repeat all round. Observe that in this and allsubsequent rounds, in which both materials are em-ployed, the thread of the one not in use must be con-cealed within the one that is. Thus the gold thread isto be worked into the chain, as well as the silk into thegold dc. 2d.—Like the first, the 4 dc coming over 2 chain andone dc on each side of it. 3d—Open square crochet, in silk. 4th.—* 1 dc, 2 ch, silk ; 4 dc gold ; 2 ch, 1 dc, 2 ch silk,*repeat all round. 5th.—* 1 dc, 2 ch, silk ; 7 dc gold ; 2 ch silk, * repeatall round. 6th.—* 4 dc, gold ; 2 dc, silk ; * repeat all round. 1th.—* 7 dc, gold ; 2 ch, 1 dc, 2 ch silk ; * repeat allround. 8th.—* 1 dc, 2 ch, silk ; 7 dc, gold ; 2 ch, silk ; * repeatall round. 9th.—* 1 dc, gold ; 2 ch, 1 dc, 2 ch, 1 dc, 2 ch, silk ; 3dc, gold ; * repeat all round. 10^.—Like 5th. llth.—Like 7th. 12th.—Like 6th. 13^.—Like 5th.
