Band of insertion for the Wrist.—­19 c s, unite d c round this ring eighteen times, which will cover about three-quarters of the ring.  Turn the work wrong side up. 6 c s, miss 2, s c into third stitch; repeat this five times more.  Turn 1 d c, 5 l s, 1 d c, into every space formed by 6 c s, d c round the remaining part of the ring six times; fasten off, leaving one end about three inches long.  Turn on the wrong side.  Begin on the third stitch of third scallop of last flower. 12 c s, s c into fifth stitch of next scallop, forming a loop over the two centre scallops.  Turn.  D c round this loop eighteen times.  Turn. * 6 c s, miss 2, s c into third stitch; repeat from * five times more.  Turn. 1 d c, 5 l s, 1 d c into every space formed by 6 c s; fasten off, leaving one end as in last flower.  Work fifteen of these flowers, thread a fine needle with the ends left, and make a few stitches on the wrong side to secure them.  The band between the two puffings is to be worked exactly the same; but there must be eighteen flowers instead of fifteen.  Commence the fulness on the band for the wrist on the first scallop, at the edge, 5 c s (working in the end of the thread), s c into the centre of next scallop, * 6 c s, s c into the first scallop of next flower. 5 c s, s c into next scallop; repeat from * to the end of the band.

2d row.  Commence on the first loop of 5 c s in last row, * 8 c s, d c round the next loop, 8 c s, d c round the same loop; repeat from * to the end of the row.—­3d row.  Commence on first loop of 8 c s in last row, 9 c s, d c into next loop, 9 c s, d c into next loop; repeat to the end of the row.—­4th row.  Commence on the same loop of 8 c s, as the last row was begun on 10 c s, d c round the centre of first loop in last row, * 9 c s, d c round the next loop; repeat from * to the end of the row.  After the d c stitch round the last loop in this row, make 5 c s, and draw the end of the cotton through. These 5 c s must be worked at the end of every alternate row, in order to keep the ends of the fulness even.  Work four more rows like the two last, making in all six rows, then seven rows, having 10 c s in each loop, every alternate row of which is begun in the same loop as the preceding row, having 12 c s in the first loop.  Then work six more rows like the former six, having 9 c s in each loop.  This will make nineteen rows of loops:  fasten off.  Work a fulness on the upper band of insertion in exactly the same manner, and gather it in at the top next the sleeve in this way:  commence on the first loop 2 c s, take the next loop on the needle, and d c round it once, 2 c s, * d c round next loop once, 2 c s; repeat from * to end of row.  In the next row, work 1 l s into every stitch of last row.
