work 1 treble at the top of the first treble of last round, ch. 2,
work 1 treble at the top of the next treble of last round; you repeat
all round the leaf with 3 ch., opposite the 3 ch. of last round, and 2
treble at the top of the 2 treble of last round, with 2 ch. between
them, working both sides to correspond, turn back.
4th: Ch. 4 and plain 1 in each lot of the chain of last round, fasten
off, which completes the leaf; you then work a stalk to each leaf as
follows: ch. 5, work 1 treble in the centre of the chain round between
the edge and the centre, work 1 treble on the other side, the same
turn back, and work the 5 chains plain, fasten off, which completes
the stalk; after working the number of each portion required and
joining them together, as shown in the illustration, you work a band
for the neck-part of the collar as follows:—
Work a few plain at the end, then ch. 10, and work 1 treble where it
requires a treble, and a double where it requires a double, and a
plain in the centre of the stalks and rounds as you see the stitches
in the engraving, so as to make it lie to the shape of the neck.
2nd row: Ch. 2, miss 2, work 1 treble, repeat to the end, turn back.
3rd: Ch. 2, work 1 treble at the top of the treble of last row, repeat
to the end, turn back.
4th: D.c., fasten off, which completes the collar.
This collar is begun by making the open hem work thus: 2 ch., miss 3,
1 s.d.c., 2 ch., miss 1 s.d.c., X 2 ch., miss 1, 1 d.c., X 3 times,
then 2 ch., miss 1, 1 s.t.c., then use the t.c., and finally the long
t.c. for the widest parts, and gradually decreasing to s.c. at the
end. On the inner side of this, do as many half-circles as the
engraving indicates: thus, 1 s.c. 1 s.d.c., 1 d.c., 2 t.c., 1 d.c., 1
s.d.c., 1 s.c.; the roses near the neck may then be worked and joined
to these circles in their places. The oblong flowers are then done,
beginning in the centre, with a chain, worked in s.c., a round of d.c.
on this, and a succession of loops all round. Join these flowers in
their places; then make the roses, working from the engraving which is
the best guide, joining these to each other, and to the oblong
flowers, and finally working the neck with the dotted bars as seen in
the engraving.
POINT COLLAR IN CROCHET.
MATERIALS..—Brooks' Great Exhibition Prize Goat's-head Crochet Cotton,
No. 48. Penelope Hook.
Each of the rows in this collar, large and small, are done separately,
beginning with the circle in the centre, and making the six leaves
round it. Each rose is to be joined to the others, where it is
indicated in the engraving, and at the point of two of the petals of
the largest are three small loops, which serve to connect it with the
edge. All the sets of roses required for the length of the collar
being done, the barred edge follows, the trefoils being worked on it,
where they occur, and the roses being joined to it in their proper
places. On this line, another of alternate close and open squares is
done, and then a point edging, similar to one already given in this
volume. The ground, of chains, worked back in slip-stitch with
occasional picots, is to be done when forming the band for the neck.
The collars should be worked a little larger than the engraving.
POINT COLLAR IN CROCHET .
Crochet collar
(fig. 484).—We have avoided as far as possible
describing articles in this book that are subject to the changes of
fashion, the present collar composed of squares, stars, lozenge-shaped
figures and a lace edge, is of a shape that will never be out of date.
Fine and delicate work like this can only be executed in a very fine
material, and we recommend unbleached thread as being more effective
than white. The soft tone and the gloss of unbleached thread give the
work an antique look, unobtainable
in a white material. Fil à dentelle D.M.C No. 120 is the best for the
purpose.
Begin with the straight-edged figures, and then make the connecting
pieces between. The four squares with half stars at both ends of the
collar and on the right and left of the centre square, have their four
sides all alike, whereas the 3 figures
within the scalloped edge are rather narrower on the outer than on
the inner side where they join to the foundation.
Inner squares: 1st row—4 chain, close the ring; 5 chain, * 1 treble
on the ring, 2 chain; repeat 6 times from * and fasten the thread to the
3rd chain stitch.
2nd row—1 chain, 3 plain over 2 chain; 1 plain over each treble.
3rd row—8 chain, * 1 treble on each treble of the 1st row, 6 chain.
Repeat 6 times from * = 8 trebles in all, including the first chain
stitches.
4th row—* 10 chain; returning over the chain stitches: 1 plain, 1
half treble, 4 trebles, 1 half treble, 1 plain, join to the 1st chain
stitch = on the 6 chain of the 3rd row: ** 1 plain, 1 half treble, 1
treble, 3 double trebles, 1 treble, 1 half treble, 1 plain ***. Repeat
once more from ** to ***, then 3 times from * to *** = along the first
leaf to the 10th stitch: 10 single.
5th row—starting from the point: * 7 chain, 1 triple treble on the
5th stitch of the small scallop of the 4th row: 7 chain, 1 triple treble
on the next scallop, 7 chain, 1 plain on the 10th stitch of the 2nd
leaf. Repeat 3 times from *.
6th row—1 chain, * 3 plain on the stitch that forms the point of the
leaf; 1 plain on each chain stitch and each treble of the last row = 16
stitches in all, up to the 2nd treble = turn the work = coming back: 1
chain, 1 double treble on the 4th plain, 1 chain, 1 double treble, 1
chain, 1 double treble, 1 chain, 1 double treble, 1 chain, 1 double
treble, 1 chain, miss 3 plain, join to the 4th plain = turn the work =
make on each chain stitch, 2 plain and on each treble 1 plain and 1
picot over the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th treble; 8 plain **. Repeat 3 times
from * to **.
7th row—1 chain, 1 plain on the 2nd of the 3 stitches at the point, *
9 chain, 1 double treble between the two first picots of the semicircle
formed in the last row; 8 chain, 1 triple treble on the 3rd treble of
the semicircle, 8 chain, 1 double treble between the 3rd and 4th picots
of the semicircle, 9 chain, 1 plain on the stitch at the corner.
8th row—19 single on the chain stitches of the 7th row, 1 chain, 3
plain on the corner stitch, 24 plain on the chain
stitches and trebles = turn the
work = coming back: 2 chain, 1 double treble on the 20th plain; on the
same stitch add: 2 double trebles with 2 chain; finish with: 2 chain,
join them to the 5th plain = turn the work = on the chain stitches: 1
plain, 1 picot, 1 plain, 1 plain on the treble. Repeat this series 4
times = add: 4 plain on the chain stitches of the 7th row = turn the
work = 5 chain, 1 double treble on the 1st treble of the small
semicircle; then again 3 times, 3 chain, and twice 1 double treble on
each of the trebles beneath = after the last 5 chain: join to the 4th
plain.
The points in this row are made with: * 1 plain on the chain
stitches, 8 chain, miss 1 stitch = coming back: 1 single, 1 plain, 1
half treble, 1 treble 1½ treble long, 3 double trebles, 1 plain on the 5
chain stitches. The 2nd point must be placed one half of it, before, and
the other half behind the picot; make altogether 7 points = after the
7th: 8 plain on the chain stitches of the 7th row = then work backwards,
without however turning the work: 7 chain, 1 chain on the stitch at the
top of the point and repeat 7 times from * = after the 8th set of 7
chain stitches: 1 chain; 1 plain on the 9th plain, bringing the thread
forwards from the right side to the wrong = 2 chain; take the thread
back to the 3rd plain from the wrong side to the right = 1 treble on
each chain stitch, 1 picot above each point, add 4 trebles and 14 chain,
join them to the 4th treble that comes after the 1st picot.
On the 14 chain: 5 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 1
picot, 5 plain, 4 trebles to the next picot, 1 picot, 4 trebles; 14
plain, join them to the treble nearest the 1st scallop and so on = make
7 scallops in all; after the 7th add 2 trebles on the 2 chain stitches =
after the 2nd treble make 2 plain, followed by the 3 stitches at the
corner = in the next scallop, you fasten by 1 single, the 1st picot of
the 1st scallop to the 3rd picot of the last scallop. When you have
finished the four sides of the figure above-described, fasten off your
thread.
The edging of these squares should be begun on the narrower of the
inner sides and at the 3rd little scallop: * 1 plain on the middle picot
of the 3rd little scallop, 7 chain, 1 double treble on the 1st picot of
the 4th scallop; 7 chain, 1 triple
treble on the 2nd picot of the same scallop, 6 chain, 1 double treble on
the 3rd picot of the same scallop, 6 chain, 1 plain on the middle picot
of the 5th scallop; 10 chain, 1 treble on the middle picot of the 6th
scallop, 11 chain **, 1 quadruple treble on the middle picot of the 7th
and 1 quadruple treble on the middle picot of the 1st scallop following
and draw the last loops of the 2 trebles up together. Repeat once from *
to **. Carry the trebles all round the figure on the picots just
referred to.
For the second half of the edging which becomes a little wider: ***
10 chain, 1 treble on the 6th scallop, 11 chain, 2 quadruple trebles,
the last loops of which you join to the middle picots of the 7th and 1st
scallop; 11 chain, 1 treble in the next scallop; 10 chain, 1 treble in
the 3rd scallop; 7 chain, 1 treble 2½ long, 8 chain, 1 treble 3½ long, 8
chain; 1 double treble, 8 chain, 1 plain, 12 chain, 1 treble, 14 chain,
**** 2 quadruple trebles, the last loops of which are joined together.
Repeat from **** to ***, that is the reverse way = finally add 1 more
whole row of plain and 3 plain stitches at the corners = on the wider
side you should have 99 stitches, not counting the increases at the
corner.
To make the same figure, forming a part of the large outside
scallops, repeat the same rows you have in the inner square up to the
7th row, the first half of which you make exactly the same as before. In
the second half of the row of chain there should be 1 chain stitch less
in each intervening space than there were in the first half.
8th row—make the first half of this row like the 8th row of the inner
square = over the 2nd half, one quarter of which is 4 chain stitches
narrower, the little wheels are made like the others with 7 picots. The
number of chain stitches and the trebles of the setting are also the
same, but instead of 7 points you have to make 5 and over these, 5 small
scallops instead of 7.
The setting, towards the top is made exactly in the same manner as
the wide part of the upper square, that is, as from the 3rd scallop of
the first semicircle to the 5th scallop of the 2nd. From this point, the
series of stitches changes, so as to form a rounded edge: * 7 chain, 1
plain on the 6th scallop; 15 chain,
2 triple trebles joined by the last loops to the 7th and 1st scallop; 14
chain, 1 plain on the 2nd of the 5 scallops; 15 chain, 1 plain on the
3rd scallop; 15 chain, 1 plain on the 4th scallop, 15 chain **, 2 triple
trebles joined by the last loops in the 5th and 1st scallop. Repeat once
again from ** to * = add 1 row of plain on each stitch of the preceding
row; 3 plain on the two top corner stitches. You will thus have 3
figures with a rounded edge on one side.
The second kind of square consists of 8 leaves inside and is begun in
the same way by 6 chain formed into a ring.
1st row—5 chain, 1 treble, 2 chain, * 1 treble, 2 chain. Repeat 6
times from * and join to the 3rd of the 5 chain.
2nd row—1 chain, 3 plain over 2 chain, 1 plain on each treble.
3rd row—9 chain, * miss 1 stitch = coming back: 1 single, 1 plain, 1
half treble, 1 treble, 1 double treble, 1 triple treble, 1 treble over
the treble of the 2nd row; 7 chain. Repeat 7 times from * = after the
8th point: 7 single along the 1st.
4th row—* 1 plain on the stitch you missed at the point, 5 chain, 1
triple treble on the treble of the 3rd row, 5 chain. Repeat 7 times from
*.
5th row—3 chain, 1 treble on each stitch of the 4th row; join to the
3rd of the 3 chain.
6th row—10 chain, 1 plain on the treble over the triple treble of the
4th row: 10 chain, 1 plain on the treble above the little point.
7th row—15 plain on the 10 chain = on the 3rd scallop only: * 7
plain, 10 chain, come back to the second scallop, bring the thread back
from the wrong side to the right between the 7th and 8th plain stitches,
15 plain on the 3rd scallop, 8 plain on the next scallop, 15 plain and
repeat 6 times from *.
When the 16th scallop is finished, pass to the point of the 1st
scallop by means of 7 single, then add the 10 chain to pass to the 8th
scallop above; when that is finished, fasten off, and fasten on again to
one of the 8 scallops.
8th row—* 21 chain, miss 1 stitch, 1 plain, 1 half treble, 1 treble,
1 treble 1½ treble long, 1 double treble, 1 treble 2½
trebles long, 1 triple treble, 1
treble 3½ trebles long, 1 quadruple treble, 1 treble 4½ trebles long, 1
quintuple treble. After passing through the 3rd loop, make 1 quadruple
treble, between the 2 plain scallops; then finish the quintuple treble,
7 chain, 1 plain on the 2nd scallop and repeat 7 times from *.
9th row—* 7 plain on the 7 chain; 1 plain on each stitch of the
pyramid, 3 plain on the stitch at the point; 4 plain on the 7 chain on
the opposite side = turn the work = ** 1 chain, miss 1 plain, 1 treble
on the 2nd stitch = after the 5th treble, leave out no more stitches
between the trebles ***; place the 8th, 9th and 10th trebles on the 2nd
of the increased stitches. Repeat on the opposite side from *** to **
and join to the 4th of the plain stitches = make 17 trebles in all, then
one plain over each chain, 1 plain on each treble and 1 picot after
every 3rd plain = after the 4th and up to the 8th picot, leave only 2
plain between: 11 picots in all = in conclusion: 3 plain more on the 7
chain and repeat the whole 7 times from *.
The little wheel at the top of the square is begun with 10 chain for
the ring = 16 plain on the ring, 4 chain, * 1 treble, 1 chain = repeat
14 times from *; 16 trebles in all, including the chain stitches = then
on each treble and each chain stitch: 1 plain; after 4 plain: 1 picot;
connect the wheel first on the right.
The 2nd picot is to be fastened to the 9th picot of the large scallop
= proceed with: 3 times 4 plain with 1 picot = after the 3rd plain,
fasten the picot to the 3rd picot of the next large scallop and complete
the small wheel. The left wheel is made and inserted in the same manner
as the right one. The wheels at the bottom of the square require for the
foundation ring: 14 chain, on which you make 21 plain = on these: 4
chain, * 1 treble, 1 chain = repeat 19 times from *; 21 trebles in all,
including the chain stitches = 3 plain, 1 picot, 3 plain, 1 picot, 3
plain, 1 picot, 3 plain, 4 chain, join to the 8th picot of the 2nd
scallop; 4 chain, finish the picot, 3 plain, 1 picot, 3 plain, 8 chain,
join to the 10th picot of the scallop, 8 chain, complete the picot; 3
plain, 1 picot, 3 plain, 8 chain, join to the 2nd picot of the 3rd
scallop, 8 chain, close the picot, 3 chain, 1 picot, 3 plain, 4 chain,
join to the 4th picot of the 3rd scallop;
4 chain, complete the picot, 3 plain, 1 picot and so on, until you have
14 picots round the wheel. Repeat the same wheel to the left between the
4th and 5th scallop.
The edging of this second kind of square is also slightly different;
fasten the thread to the 6th picot of the 1st scallop before the small
wheel, then working from right to left, count: * 10 chain, 1 treble on
the 2nd empty picot of the small wheel; 8 chain, 1 triple treble on the
4th picot of the wheel = upwards: 9 chain, 1 double treble on the 6th
picot of the wheel; 9 chain, 1 plain on the 6th picot of the 8th
scallop, 12 chain, 1 plain on the 7th picot of the scallop, 11 chain **,
1 quadruple treble on the 9th picot of the 8th scallop and on the 3rd
picot of the 7th; draw the last loops of the two trebles up together.
Repeat once more from ** to *, then: 1 plain on the 6th picot of the 6th
scallop; *** 12 chain, 1 sextuple treble on the 9th picot of the 6th
scallop, retain 2 loops of the treble on the needle, make 4 more overs,
join the treble to the 3rd picot of the 5th scallop; finish the bars, 12
chain, 1 plain in the 6th picot of the next scallop = 12 chain, 1 double
treble on the 2nd picot of the 7 empty picots of the bottom wheel; 9
chain, 1 quadruple treble on the 4th picot; 12 chain, 1 double treble on
the 6th picot, 14 chain, 1 plain on the 6th picot of the 4th scallop, 14
chain ***, 1 septuple treble, in the 9th and 3rd picots of the 4th and
3rd scallops ****. For the preceding treble, you pass first through 4
loops only, then make 4 more overs for the other half of the treble, and
finish the last loops one by one. Repeat from **** to ***. One row of
plain stitches completes the square.
After having made the square similar to that of the upper one, you
have merely to add the large wheels at the top.
The setting of chain stitches and trebles is begun at the first
scallop between 2 wheels = 1 plain on the 6th picot of the 1st scallop;
14 chain, 2 quintuple trebles, of which the last loops only are joined
together, on the 9th and 3rd picot of the 1st and 2nd scallop, = 14
chain, 1 plain on the 6th picot of the next scallop; * 14 chain, 1
treble on the 2nd empty picot of the wheel; 10 chain, 1 quadruple treble
on the 4th picot, 10 chain, 1 treble on the 6th picot; 14 chain, 1 plain
on the 6th picot of the 3rd
scallop; 14 chain, 2 sextuple trebles on the 10th and 2nd picot of the
3rd and 4th scallop; 15 chain, 1 plain on the 6th picot of the 4th
scallop; 16 chain, 2 sextuple trebles on the 10th and 2nd picot of the
4th and 5th scallop; 16 chain, 1 plain on the 6th picot of the 5th
scallop; 15 chain ** 3 septuple trebles on the 10th and 2nd picot of the
5th and 6th scallop. Repeat from ** to *; and make 4 figures with
rounded edges. When all the figures are finished, join them together by
trebles of a suitable length.
Introduce the thread at the corner stitch on the widest side of the
2nd 8 pointed star and make: 1 plain, 6 chain, miss 3 stitches, 1 plain
on the 3 next stitches, 4 chain, miss 2, 1 plain on the next 3 plain
stitches.
Make 11 loops in this manner, each consisting of 4 chain and 3 plain,
then 2 loops of 3 chain and 2 plain = then miss as many stitches of the
square at the edge of the collar as were left empty in the second
square; 2 plain and draw the loop each time through the 2 last stitches
of the opposite square = 1 chain, 1 single on the 2nd chain stitch of
the opposite side; 1 chain, 3 plain on the edge of the first square, 1
chain, 1 single, 1 chain, miss 3 stitches, 3 plain, 5 chain, bring the
loop from the wrong side to the right = on the chain stitches: 4 plain,
2 chain, miss 3, 3 plain.
From this point onwards, fasten all the bars of chain stitches to the
loops produced by the same stitches in the 2nd square. Thus, the 1st bar
consisting of 5 chain, the 2nd will consist of 7 chain on which make 7
plain, and then add 2 more chain. Nowhere must the two first chain
stitches be uncovered.
The 3rd bar must consist of 9 chain, 9 plain and 2 chain = the 4th of
11 chain, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 2 chain = the 5th of 13 chain, 4
plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 2 chain = the 6th of 16
chain, 6 plain, 1 picot, 6 plain, 1 picot, 6 plain, 2 chain = the 7th of
18 chain, 5 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain,
2 chain = the 8th of 21 chain, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5
plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 2 chain = the 9th of 24 chain, 5 plain, 1
picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 2
chain = the 10th of 26 chain, 6 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot,
5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 6 plain, 2 chain = the 11th and last
of 28 chain, 32 plain, 2 chain, fasten off.
As the square with the semicircles in it, has more plain stitches in
the edge than the one with the eight-pointed star in it, the stitches
must be divided so that you miss 3 from time to time, instead of two.
When the 7 top figures are finished, join the 7 bottom ones to them,
each separately, by a row of plain stitches, made on the wrong side of
the work. Below the first square with the semicircles, comes the
eight-pointed star, below the next eight-pointed star, the square with
the semicircles, and so on.
A narrow edging forms the outside border, the foundation of which is
a row of plain stitches running all along the squares. At the middle of
the square you decrease by 2 stitches, and at the point where two
squares meet, by 3. When you reach the left side and the end of the row,
make 3 plain on the corner stitch, then: * 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 14
chain, join them to the first of the 5 first plain (drop the thread at
each scallop and bring it forward from the wrong side to the right) = on
the 14 chain: 5 plain, 1 picot, 11 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain = along the
square: 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, then 14 chain, join them to the first
plain = over the 14 chain: 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 14 chain, join
them in turning back between the 5th and 6th of the 10 plain of the 1st
scallop; 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain;
on the half-finished scallop: 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain ** = on the
plain stitches of the edge: 4 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 12 chain, come
back, join to the 1st of the 4 plain = on the 12 chain: 4 plain, 1
picot, 4 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain *** = repeat on the
same figure once from * to *** and once from * to **.
This makes 77 stitches, the number there ought to be on the wide side
of the straight-edged figures.
The scallops vary a little on the rounded sides. There, you should
have 110 stitches, counting from the corner to the treble that marks the
middle at the bottom. The single scallops, between the triple scallops
of the border, are also all made over 8 stitches; the first triple
scallop is made over 20 stitches, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th triple scallop
over 16 stitches.
Make no single scallop after the 4th triple one; which is immediately
succeeded by the 5th triple scallop, over 16 stitches.
Altogether, round each star, there are 9 triple and 8 single
scallops. After the 8th single one, make 3 plain stitches on the 2 chain
stitches of the connecting bar.
On the 32 plain stitches of the last bar: 8 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain,
12 chain, bring them back and join to the 5th of the 8 plain = on the 12
chain: 5 plain, 2 chain, draw the loop through the picot in the middle
of the last single scallop, 2 chain, close the picot, 8 plain, 1 picot,
5 plain = in the bar: 4 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 12 chain, bring them
back and fasten them to the 1st plain = 5 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain, 12
chain, join them to the 4th plain of the 1st scallop; 5 plain, 1 picot,
8 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain = in the half-finished scallop: 4 plain, 1
picot, 4 plain = in the bar: 4 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain = 12 chain, bring
them back and fasten them to the 1st plain. 4 plain, 1 picot, 4 plain,
12 chain, join them close to the scallop above = 5 plain, 1 picot, 4
plain, 12 chain, bring them back and join them to the 4th plain of the
2nd scallop; 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5
plain = in each of the 2 half-finished scallops: 4 plain, 1 picot, 5
plain = finish with 4 plain, 3 plain on the 2 chain and repeat from *
round all the rounded parts.
The lozenges that fill the empty spaces between the large figures are
made in 7 rows, on a ring formed of 4 chain.
1st row—5 chain, 1 treble on the ring, 2 chain, 8 trebles in all,
including the bar of chain stitches.
2nd row—3 plain over 2 chain, 1 plain over each treble.
3rd row—7 chain, 1 treble over the treble beneath, 5 chain, 1 treble;
8 trebles in all.
4th row—* 1 plain, 1 half treble, 1 treble, 1 double treble, 1 treble
2½ trebles long; ** repeat the reverse way to * = 1 plain on the treble,
7 chain, miss 1 stitch, 1 plain, 1 treble, 1 double treble, 1 treble, 1
plain. Repeat twice from * to **, followed by: 9 chain, miss 1, 1
single, 1 plain, 1 half treble, 2 trebles, 1 half treble, 1 plain, 1
single ***. Repeat once from * to ***, then again from * to **, and add
5 single all along the scallop.
5th row—9 chain * 1 plain on the top stitch of the small leaf, 7
chain, 1 treble on the middle stitch of the scallop, 7 chain, 1 treble
on the next scallop = 9 chain, 1 plain on the leaf, 9 chain, 1 treble on
the scallop, 7 chain, 1 treble on the next scallop, 7 chain and repeat
once from *.
6th row—1 plain on each stitch of the row before, 3 plain on the
points.
7th row—on each side of the lozenge 3 little scallops on 8 chain,
with 3 picots and 1 picot below the scallops and between every 4 plain;
the scallops at the points extend over 4 stitches only, so that the
picot below is left out.
These lozenges are fastened on two sides to the middle picot of the
triple scallop; then, starting from the 3rd scallop of the lozenge you
make, 8 chain, join them to the middle picot of the 1st triple scallop;
coming back over the 8 chain: 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain and finish the
scallop. The next scallop, at the point of the lozenge, is fastened by a
picot of 6 chain, to the middle picot of the 6th scallop underneath the
connecting bar. Repeat the same on the 2nd side and make 6 lozenges in
all.
The lace that finishes off the collar at the neck must be made to
stand up, and is begun by a row of trebles on the plain stitches.
From the corner as far as the 2nd treble of the 4th scallop, make
triple trebles, from the 4th scallop to the 6th chain stitch after the
5th scallop, make double trebles, from this point to the 2nd scallop of
the next semicircle, only single trebles, then again double trebles and
finish with triple trebles as at the beginning. Decrease by 2 or 3
stitches in each square.
When this row of trebles is finished, fasten off, and fasten on again
on the right and on the base of the 1st treble which you border with 4
chain, then follow: * 15 plain on the row of trebles, put the needle in
under the 2 loops of the trebles = turn the work = 2 chain, 1 double
treble, miss 4 plain, 1 double treble on the 5th stitch, 2 chain, 1
double treble, 2 chain, 1 double treble, 2 chain, miss 4 plain = turn
the work = bring the loop to the front; ** 1 plain, 1 picot, 1 plain, 1
plain on the treble; repeat 3 times again from ** and add 4 plain on
the trebles = turn the work = 6
chain, 1 double treble over the treble beneath; again 3 times 6 chain
stitches and 1 double treble; join the 4th set of 6 chain to the 4th
plain = bring the thread back to the front: 1 plain on the 6 chain = 8
chain, miss 1, and make on the others: 1 plain, 1 half treble, 2
trebles, 1 treble 1½ treble long, 2 double trebles, 1 plain stitch on
the 6 chain. The next point comes above a treble; you make 7 points in
all. After the 7th: 5 plain, then 7 chain, 1 plain on each point between
the points and join.
Join the 8th set of 7 chain on to the 4th plain of the first treble =
then add: 2 chain, draw the loop from the wrong side to the right
through the 1st plain stitch; 8 trebles, 1 picot, 4 trebles, 12 chain,
bring them back over the picot, join it between the 4th and 5th trebles;
5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain.
Over each point: 1 picot and over the picot 1 scallop, like the one
made in the square. On the 7th point only 1 picot = after the last
treble on the last chain: 2 chain; then go on with the plain stitches
until you have 27 and repeat from *.
In the semicircles that follow you leave out the first and last
little scallops, the first and the last scallop must be joined together
by the first and the last picot; in the last semicircle, make 6 little
scallops, the same as you did in the first.
