The things we do!

Then take some crochet cotton, which must
be finer than the cotton used for tatting, and work a row of double
stitches over the thread which joins the circles. The number of stitches
depends on the length and size of the cotton; work double stitches round
the circles at the place where both ends meet. The outer row consists of
treble stitches, which are worked with 1 chain stitch between, missing 1
stitch under each chain. The scallops consist of the two following
rows:--1 double, with which the last and first purl of 2 circles are
joined, 4 chain; in each of the other purl, 1 double, 4 chain, between 2
double stitches.
2nd row: 1 double in each chain stitch scallop, 1 double, 3 long double,
1 double.
