Work 2 patterns from No. 2 in 1st d’oyley, 2 patterns from No. 3 in same d’oyley, 1 pattern from No. 4 in same d’oyley, and 1 pattern from No. 5, 2 patterns from No. 6 in same d’oyley, 1 pattern from No. 7, 1 pattern from No. 8; and 1 from No. 10 in same d’oyley, 2 patterns from No. 11 in 1st d’oyley, 1 pattern from No. 2 in 2nd d’oyley, 1 pattern from No. 3 in same d’oyley, 1 pattern from No. 9 in same d’oyley, and 2 from No. 10.

Then 1 pattern in the following manner:—­Round 1:  Make a chain stitch of 12 stitches, 1 double crochet, 10 long into successive loops, 1 double crochet, 1 double crochet at the point, and work down the other side to correspond.

Round 2:  2 long into each loop.

Round 3:  4 chain, miss 2 loops, 1 double crochet into the next, repeat.

Round 4:  1 double crochet into the 1st 4 chain of 3rd round, 5 chain, repeat.

Work 1 pattern in this way, 1 chain of 14, 1 double crochet into each, 5 chain, 1 double crochet into the last double crochet, turn, 6 double crochet into the circle, with 3 chain between each, into each 3 chain, 5 long, turn, 1 double crochet between each of the 5 long, with 6 chain between each double crochet, turn, into the 1st double crochet 1 long, 2 chain, 1 double long, 2 chain, 1 treble long, 2 chain, 1 double long, 2 chain, 1 long all into the same place, 1 double crochet into the 6 chain.  Repeat this 5 times more, then work down the 7 of 14, 7 long, and 7 of single crochet.  The edging to be the same as in the former d’oyleys.  The 1st round of the edging takes up so much space to write, that we think it better to leave it to the judgment of the worker.  It will be seen by the engraving when it is necessary to work a double long or long stitch, or a stitch of single or double crochet, and the number of chain stitches between must be just sufficient to make the circle perfect.  The best way is to cut a round of blue paper and place them on it from the engraving, then sew them together, and tack them to the paper, and work the 1st row of the edging before removing the paper.
