Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Mecklenburg thread No. 2 or 16,
according to the size of the work.
These four patterns will be found useful for filling up small squares,
or for varying the usual groundwork of point d'esprit.
[Illustration: 533.--Pattern in Guipure d'Art.]
No. 533 is a succession of point de feston stitches, which half fill
each square of the netting. This pattern must be worked with great
regularity.
[Illustration: 534.--Pattern in Guipure d'Art.]
No. 534 consists of a kind of double point d'esprit.
No. 535 is a thread twisted and taken _across_ each square, and
resembles lace stitches.

No. 536 is a succession of small close wheels, intermingled with point
d'esprit. This grounding is very effective.
