Crochet the ends of the stripe. Work 3 of these stripes in Cotton, then work a row of long stitches in Green Wool down each side of the stripes, working 1 long stitch into every loop.

For the Circles

1st Row. With the lightest shade of Scarlet, work a chain of 11 stitches, unite the ends and work a row of De, making only 11 stitches, draw the Wool to the back, tie it securely and cut it off, this must be done at every row, then work 11 long stitches, one into every loop, making 2 chain between each.

2nd Row.-2nd shade, De under the 2 chain, 5 chain, repeat. 3rd Row.-3rd shade, De into the centre stitch of the 5 chain, 6 chain, repeat.

4th Row.-4th shade, De under the centre of the 6 chain, 7 chain, repeat.

5th Row.-5th shade, D° on D°, 3 chain, 3 long under the 7 chain, 3 chain, repeat.

This forms one Circle.

There should be 24 circles, the diameter of each being about 2 inches, join 12 of these circles on one side of a stripe, and 12 on the other, then sew the other stripes on each side of the circles, work some chain stitches from one Green edge to the other of the stitches at each end of the covering, catching up the points of the circles, about 24 stitches will be found sufficient, fasten in the ends securely into the cotton stripes, then with the Green Wool work a row of long stitches, one stitch into every loop, to correspond with the sides, then commence at one end and work up the side thus, 1 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, repeat this 44 times more, then turn back, work 1 long on long, 2 chain, repeat, work forwards and back till there are 4 rows, do this on both sides.

For the Border on both ends.

1st Row. Take the Green, make 7 chain, De into 6th loop, then with the darkest Scarlet commence on the 1st De stitch of the Green, 5 chain, 5 long under the 7 chain,* 5 chain, De under next 7, 5 chain, D° under next 7, 5 chain, 5 long under next 7, repeat from.*

2nd Row. Next shade, D° into 2nd loop, 5 chain,* De on 1st long, 5 chain, D on last long, 5 chain, 5 long under the 5 chain, 5 chain, repeat from.*

3rd Row. Next shade, De into 2nd loop, 5 chain,* 5 long under the 5 chain, 5 chain, D under 5 chain, 5 chain, De under 5 chain, 5 chain, repeat from.*

4th Row. Next shade, same as 2nd row.

5th Row.-Lightest shade, same as 3rd row.

Pull the work well, damp and lay it open between a cloth

with a weight upon it for some hours, then sew it up at the sides, take an oz. of shaded Scarlet Wool, cut it twice, divide it once and tie each portion into the 5th bar at each side, as in Engraving.

row.

This forms one Star.

Make 3 more stars exactly the same as the last, it will be found less monotonous to work the 4 stars at once, that is, working the same row on each of the 4 stars before proceeding to another row.

With the Violet Wool, crochet one point of each of the 2 stars together, (keeping both on the wrong side,) do this by inserting the Hook through the centre loop of the 5 chain at the point of both stars, draw the Wool through and again crochet it through, 3 chain, 1 long on 2nd of the Green stitches, 3 chain,* 1 long on long, 3 chain, repeat from* till the 1st of the 2 Green stitches, on which make 1 long, 3 chain, crochet the points of the 2 stars together through the centre loops of the 5 chain, then make 3 chain, and on the other star make 1 long on the 2nd of the Green stitches and proceed exactly as in the last star, this will form an oval, continue on the wrong side 3 chain, crochet the opposite Violet long stitches together of each star, 3 chain, 1 long on long, 3 chain till the last Violet long stitch, crochet this and the opposite one together, 3 chain, crochet
