The seat and back of this arm-chair are covered with two round
couvrettes, worked in crochet with Berlin wool of two colours. They are
fastened on the chair with woollen braid, finishing off with tassels of

chain of 6 stitches, with the lightest wool; join them into a circle,
and work the 1st round in the following manner:--12 double.

inserting the needle in the upper part of the stitch; repeat from * 11
times more; at the end of this round work 1 slip stitch in the 1st chain
of this round. We shall not repeat any more the repetitions from * to
the end of the round.
3rd round: * 4 chain, 1 double, in the next scallop of the preceding
round; at the end of the round 4 chain.
4th round: 4 double in each scallop of the preceding round.
