21.--CIRCLE.--Begin it in the centre by working a circle of 8 purl,
rather long, divided one from the other by 2 double stitches. After you
have fastened off and cut the cotton, work * one very small circle
composed of 3 double stitches, 1 long purl, 3 double stitches; fasten
the cotton not far off to the first purl of the circle, and repeat from
* 7 times more, at regular distances. Fasten off and cut the cotton, and
begin * a fresh circle of 2 double stitches, 7 purl divided each by 2
double stitches, 2 more double stitches; fasten the cotton to the purl
of the very small circle, and work, not far off, a circle of 2 double
stitches, 2 purl divided by 2 double stitches, 2 more double stitches;
fasten the cotton to the purl of the next small circle, and repeat from
* 7 times more. Instead of making the first purl of the next large
circle, fasten the cotton to the last purl of the small circle.
