156.--_Cravat End in Raised Embroidery_.
Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s. embroidery cotton Nos. 50 and
16.
This pattern is a muslin cravat 32 inches long. The greater part of the
embroidered ends is worked in satin stitch; the leaves in the bouquet of
the centre are worked in raised embroidery. (See Nos. 113 and 116,
_Embroidery Instructions_.)
The dotted lines are raised by taking four threads of the muslin on the
needle, draw it half out, wind the cotton twice round the point, holding
it tightly under the thumb, draw the needle out and insert it at the
place where the stitch was begun, and draw it out where the next stitch
is to be worked.
