277.--_Crochet Insertion_.
Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton No. 40.
[Illustration: 277.--Crochet Insertion.]
The patterns of this insertion are worked in a row, and always two
opposite circles at a time. Make a foundation chain of 16 stitches, join
them into a circle, then work a 2nd circle consisting again of 16 chain
stitches. Work round this circle 24 double stitches, and 24 double round
the 1st circle; after the last stitch begin again at the 2nd circle, and
work 10 chain scallops as follows:--3 double in the next 3 stitches, * 5
chain, 2 double in the next 2 stitches, repeat 8 times more, 3 double in
the last 3 stitches; work in the same manner round the other circle. To
get to the next pattern, work 4 slip stitches between the 2 circles in
the middle of the just-completed pattern, leaving the cotton under the
work and drawing it through the stitch upwards through the loop on the
needle; 7 chain stitches, and then 2 circles like those just described,
and so on.
