Draw always the second stitch of 2 stitches through the first, and work 1 stitch in the stitch which has been drawn through the first, and then 1 stitch through the other stitch.  In the 8th round work always 2 stitches in the stitch between the 2 crossed stitches, 1 stitch in all the other stitches.  Lastly, darn the rosette, from illustration, with fine glazed cotton.

For the ground of the rosettes, illustrations Nos. 562 and 563, cast on 6 stitches, join the stitches into a circle, and work then in the 1st round 2 stitches in every stitch; in the following 8 rounds 2 stitches in every increased stitch, in all the other stitches 1 stitch.  The last (10th) round is worked without increasing.  Then darn the rosettes, from illustrations, with thread in darning stitch, linen stitch, and point d’esprit.  The edges of the two rosettes are worked round in button-hole stitch; in every selvedge stitch work 3 button-hole stitches.  These two rosettes can be joined together for small couvrettes.

The ground of the border, No. 561, is formed by a strip of straight netting 9 squares wide, cut out in vandykes on one side, and worked round in button-hole stitch, as seen in illustration.  This ground is darned, from No. 561, in darning stitch, point d’esprit, linen stitch, and ornamented with bars and wheels (See illustration).
