The strip is finished off in a straight line at the bottom by
working a certain number of rows in which the last stitch remains
untouched. At the beginning of the row do not work 1 stitch ever the
mesh, but only 1 knot in the stitch of the preceding row, so that the
cotton is drawn on tight. When the strip is completed, trace from No.
568 the outlines for the pattern of each of the eight parts of the
parasol with double thread, in such a manner that two parts lie next to
each other, but reversed, that is, the point of one part must lie next
to the wide part of the next part. Then work in each part the pattern
seen in illustration, and afterwards each part round with button-hole
stitch, working over the double outline. Cut out the different parts,
and sew them together on the wrong side with close overcast stitch.
