The things we do!

For each of the four centre leaves work 6 double stitches, 6
purl divided one from the other by 3 double stitches, then 6 more
double stitches. Fasten off the cotton, cut it, and begin a fresh leaf
by working 2 double stitches, 10 purl divided one from the other by 2
double stitches, then 2 more double stitches. (This small leaf forms one
of the corners of the diamond pattern.) Fasten the cotton to the fourth
purl of one of the four centre leaves, and work another leaf similar to
the preceding. Join this leaf by its two centre purl to the two last
purl of the corner leaf (see illustration). After two more similar
leaves, work one corner leaf, and continue the pattern in the same
manner until you come back to the first corner leaf, then fasten off,
and cut the cotton. Place the diamond pattern upon the point of the
collar, and cut away the material under it; fold back the edges, sew
them neatly, and cover them with the following crochet edging:--Make
alternately 2 chain, 1 purl (the latter composed of 3 chain joined
together by 1 slip stitch).
