[Illustration:  593—­Berlin Work Border.]

[Illustration:  594.—­Berlin Work Border.]

In the centre the flower is completed by a knot; the ground in cross stitch is completed on either side by a narrow border of scallops, formed of slanting stitches divided in the centre by 1 slanting stitch.  It is easy to work these stitches from illustration.  The choice of colours depends upon what use the border is intended for and upon personal taste.
