is then sewn into the muslin at the top only; the remaining border is edged, before joining it to the muslin, with a straight row of knots to be worked over cotton, and fastened on to each outer scallop of the border at regular intervals.  The number of double stitches between two purl is different, as distinctly seen in illustration.  For the lace knot both ends of cotton together, * work with one shuttle only 1 circle consisting of 8 double, 1 purl, 8 double; turn the work and make another circle consisting of 2 double, 9 times alternately 1 purl, 2 double; then fasten this circle on to the preceding one, where it has been joined into a circle, so that both circles meet as seen in illustration.  After having turned the work again, work 9 double over the cotton on the 2nd shuttle, which form a scallop between the circles, and repeat from *.  The lace is then sewn round the edge of the muslin.

61.—­Rosette in Tatting and Embroidery.

Materials:  Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.’s tatting cotton No. 60, or No. 40 if desired in a larger size.

[Illustration:  61.  Rosette in Tatting and Embroidery.]

This rosette is suitable for ornamenting lingeries, cravats, &c.  It is worked in white embroidery and lace stitch, and edged all round with a tatted lace.  For the latter work with very fine cotton * 1 large circle, consisting of 5 double, 1 purl, 7 times alternately 2 double, 1 purl, then 5 double.  At a short distance from this circle work a smaller one, consisting of 5 double fastened on to the last purl of the large circle, 5 double.  Leave again an interval as small as the last, and repeat from * 11 times more.  But in working the large circles, instead of working the 1st purl, fasten them on the same purl of the large circle on which the small circle has been fastened; besides this, in working the last (12th) large circle, instead of working the last purl, fasten it on the 1st purl of the 1st circle; the last small circle is fastened on to the same purl.  The lace is thus joined into a circle, and is sewn round the outside of the rosette with button-hole stitches.
