--_Basket Embroidered in Chenille_.
Materials: A basket of fine wicker-work; 1 skein of black chenille, and
3 of blue chenille.
This small round basket measures seven inches across; it has a cover and
two handles. The wicker is very delicately plaited, and is ornamented
with a pattern in chenille which is very easy to work. Upon the cover,
work in point Russe one large star in blue chenille, with the centre and
outer circle in black. All round, work small stars in blue chenille,
with a black stitch in the centre. The position of these stars is shown
in our illustration. The basket requires no mounting; it is not even
lined.
