Collars, Cuffs, &c_.
Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No 30;
tatting-pin No. 3.
20.--DIAMOND PATTERN.--Work, not far one from the other, four leaves,
each composed of 5 double stitches, 7 rather long purl divided one from
the other by 2 double stitches, 5 double stitches. Instead of making the
1st purl in each of the 3 next leaves, fasten the cotton to the last
leaf of preceding leaf. Fasten off and cut the cotton; begin a fresh
circle by 2 double stitches, 7 purl divided by 2 double stitches, 2 more
double stitches; fasten the cotton to the centre purl of one of the four
leaves, and work a very small circle thus:--2 double stitches, fasten
the cotton to the last purl of the first circle, 3 double stitches, 1
purl, 2 double stitches; fasten the cotton * to the 6th purl of the
leaf; work a larger circle thus:--2 double stitches fastened to the purl
of the small circle, 2 double stitches, 4 purl divided by 2 double
stitches, 2 more double stitches; fasten the cotton not far off to the
second purl of the second leaf; work another small circle similar to
that above-described; fasten the cotton to the third purl of the second
leaf, then to the fourth purl of the same leaf, and repeat from * three
times more, always fastening the first purl of the first circle you are
working (each time you repeat the pattern) to the purl of the last small
circle last worked; fasten off and cut the cotton.
