Turning over one of the corners adds to the novelty of this design and
the 9 inch size makes an especially dainty doily. The 22 inch size is
for a centerpiece.
Border.--Work the scallop in buttonhole stitch with Corticelli
Persian Floss, 615. One corner is turned under on the wrong side and
buttonholed on the right side through both thicknesses of linen.
Work the straight line, or slit, in the turned over corner in fine
buttonhole stitch with Corticelli Persian Floss, 615. The stems, which
apparently come through the slit, should be worked in outline stitch
with Filo Silk, Green, 755. Colored Plate V.
Flowers.--Make the edge with Corticelli Filo Silk, Yellow, 507, shading
lighter to the center with 506, 505, 504, 502. Some flowers should be
darker than others. In the center of the flower work a few stitches of
Green, 781, and around these stitches make a few French knots in 781
also. For the back petals of the buds use 507, shading lighter to the
stem with 506, 505. Use Green, 582, for the points of calyx, and shade
573 into the stem, using this shade also for a part of each stem.
Leaves.--Make the points in Green, 781, shading gradually to midvein
with 582, 753, 754. Omit 781 in some of the leaves, thus making them
darker, and adding 755 at the bottom of the leaf. Use 755 for the
stems. (Easy.)

quantity of silk and little time to work them.

darker with 781 and 782. Work the stems with 783. (Easy.)
