thread Nos. 16 and 20.
These strips of insertion, rosettes, and borders are very suitable for
ornamenting lingeries, cravats, &c. The ground of insertion, Nos. 558
and 560, is worked with fine white cotton over a fine steel
knitting-needle, in slanting netting, and darned with thread in the
manner seen in illustrations. The ground of each strip is 11 rounds
wide, and worked with button-hole stitch along the edges; the darned
patterns can be worked from illustration.

For the rosette, No. 560, cast on 6 stitches over a fine
knitting-needle, and join the stitches into a circle; in the 1st round
work 2 stitches in every stitch. In the 2nd--5th rounds work 2 stitches
in every increased stitch of the preceding round, and in every other
stitch 1 stitch. In the 6th round take a steel knitting-needle double
the size of the first, and work over it 1 stitch in every stitch of the
preceding round.
