Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s tatting cotton No. 40; crochet
cotton No. 60; tatting-pin No. 3.
[Illustration: 43.--Insertion in Tatting and Crochet.]
This pattern is composed of leaves and flowers. Each of the six leaves
forming a circle is composed of 4 double, 2 purl, separated by 2 double,
4 double (the first and last purl of each leaf must be joined in the
manner before explained), and the centre of each circle forms a wheel.
The flower has four leaves: each leaf consists of 6 double, II purl,
separated each by 1 double, and again 6 double; each leaf is filled up
with button-hole stitches in fine cotton. To form the circle in the
centre of this flower, turn several times the thread which joins the
leaves, and work button-hole stitches round it. Join the flowers and the
circles by knotting them together, or by making 1 purl longer than the
others, and by drawing the next figure through. The crochet border on
each side of the tatting consists of six rows, which are plainly seen in
the illustration.
