52.--_Border in Crochet and Tatting_.
Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Boar's Head cotton No. 26.
This border is formed of circles in tatting and crochet leaves, which
are joined together by rows of crochet work; a narrow
[Illustration: 52.--Border in Crochet and Tatting.]
border in tatting forms the lower edge. Omitting this edge, the border
forms a strip of insertion. Each of the rosettes or circles is begun in
the centre; work first 2 double (a double stitch is formed by passing
the thread over the back of the hand, and then passing the shuttle
upwards between the forefinger and second finger, and drawing it up,
then work a stitch of plain tatting; this completes the double stitch,
and whenever so many double stitches are directed it means the 2
stitches), 1 purl, repeat 9 times, join the stitch into a circle, work
at a small distance * a smaller ring consisting of 3 double, 5 purl,
divided each by 2 double stitches, 4 double, draw the cotton through the
purl of the first circle, and repeat 8 times more from *, only each
following circle must be fastened on to a purl of the preceding circle
after 3 double stitches, and having completed each circle the thread
must be drawn through the purl of the first circle, which forms the
centre of the rosette.
