Beeton, Mrs. Isabella Mary, 1836-1865

"Beeton's Book of Needlework"

--Rosette for Antimacassar.]
[Illustration: 320.--Part of Antimacassar.]
For the tatted circle in the centre of the rosette, work with grey wool
a circle consisting of 1 double, and 11 times alternately 1 purl 3-10ths
of an inch long, 2 double, then 1 purl and 1 double. The circle is sewn
on the rosette, from illustration, with grey wool. No. 319 shows such a
rosette full size. The small squares (_see_ No. 318) are worked with
grey wool; cast on 36 stitches, join the stitches into a circle, and
purl 2 rows. To form the corners, knit together 4 times 2 stitches after
every 7 stitches in the first of these two rounds, in the second round
knit together 2 stitches after every 6 stitches; these decreasings and
those of the other rounds must always take place, at the same places as
in the preceding round. Then take the violet wool, and knit 7 rows; in
the first of these knit 4 times 2 stitches together after intervals of 5
stitches; no decreasings take place in the 2nd, 4th, and 6th rows; in
the 3rd row knit together 4 times 3 stitches as 1 stitch, and in the 5th
and 7th rows 4 times 2 stitches as 1 stitch.
