the sides and ends, dip it in some sugar and water, 2 lumps to a rather large cup of water, then strain it out on a sheet to dry, it will not require pinning. The same process will do for Shetland Shawls after washing.

SOFA COVERING.

BOUQUET DE ROSE.

DESIGNED BY MRS. WARREN.

8 Reels Evans's Boar's Head, No. 8, White. No. 16, Steel Crochet Hook. Dc means Double Crochet.

The long stitches should all, be rather more than a quarter of an inch in length.

In describing this pattern, for the sake of brevity and also to greatly facilitate the working, it will be better to designate the (open work) between the thick parts, or on each side of it as "squares," each square to be worked thus, (1 long, 2 chain, 1 long into 3rd loop,) this will be readily understood, when it is observed that the first five rows are composed entirely of squares."

66

1st Row. Make a chain of 342 stitches, turn back, work 1 long, 2 chain, 1 long into 3rd loop, 114 squares in this row; the work must not be turned again. Cut off the thread sufficiently long to admit of its being worked into the last stitch of

next row.

2nd Row.-Commence with 5 chain on the 1st long of last row, leaving one end of the Cotton a full yard in length, this 5 chain is equivalent to 1 long, 2 chain: and makes it less thick, than working 1 long at the commencement of every row. 1 long on long, 2 chain, repeat to the end of the row, at the last stitch, weave the end of Cotton in the last row into the stitch. Cut off the Cotton as before, this is to prevent any threads being left at the termination of the row.

3rd Row.-Tie the end of the Cotton on the reel, on to the end of the Cotton that was left in last row, it should be tied in a weaver's knot; then commence the row as in last row, and work the same. Be careful to work the knot into a long stitch and not into a chain.

4th and 5th Rows are the same, which will make 5 rows of squares; the Cotton that is left at the beginning of a row should be of various lengths, or the knots will all come in one place.

6th Row.-18 squares,* 6 long, 9 squares, 12 long, 20 squares, repeat from,* these long stitches are exclusive of the 1 long that forms the last square. This row ends with 11 squares. 7th Row.-9 squares,* 12 long, 4 squares, 12 long, 7 squares, 15 long, 11 squares, repeat from. This row ends with 11

squares.

8th Row.-8 squares,* 15 long, 4 squares, 21 long, 4 squares, 6 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 7 long, 10 squares, repeat from.* This row ends with 11 squares.

9th Row.-8 squares,* 6 long,† 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 7 long, repeat from, twice more, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 16 long, 3 squares, 3 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 10 long, 10 squares, repeat from. This row ends with 11 squares.

10th Row.-8 squares,* 3 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 10 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 13 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 10 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 10 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 16 long, 11 squares, repeat from.* This row ends with 12 squares.

11th Row.-5 squares,* 3 long, 2 squares, 3 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 7 long, 2 squares, 12 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 7 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 16 long, 13 squares, repeat from.* This row ends with 17 squares.

12th Row.-5 squares,* 6 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 10 long, 2 squares, 15 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 7 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 13 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 13 long, 9 squares, repeat from.* This row ends with 13 squares.

13th Row.-6 squares,* 6 long, 3 squares, 6 long, 2 squares, 18 long, 2 squares, 9 long, 2 squares, 3 long, 2 squares, 15 long, 5 squares, repeat from.* This row ends with 8 squares.

14th Row.-7 squares,* 12 long, 3 squares, 6 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 7 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 16 long, 2 squares, 9 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 4 long, 2 squares, 9 long, 5 squares, repeat from.* This row ends with 7 squares.

15th Row.-7 squares,* 3 long, 3 squares, 12 long, 2 squares, 9 long, 2 squares, 6 long, 2 squares, 6 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 4 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 10 long, 2 squares, 6 long, 4 squares, repeat from.* This row ends with 6 squares.

16th Row.-8 squares,* 9 long, 6 squares, 24 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 7 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 4 long, 2 squares, 18 long, 5 squares, repeat from.* This row ends with 6

squares.

17th Row.-7 squares, 3 long, 2 squares, 9 long, 4 squares, 12 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 10 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 13 long, 3 squares, 15 long, 4 squares, repeat from.* This row ends with 6 squares.

This

18th Row.-7 squares,* 9 long, 2 squares, 6 long, 4 squares, 6 long, 6 squares, 12 long, 12 squares, repeat from.* row ends with 14 squares.

19th Row.-7 squares,* 15 long, 2 chain, miss 2 loops, 7 long, 12 squares, 6 long, 13 squares, repeat from.* Ending with 15

squares.

20th Row.-8 squares,* 21 long, 28 squares, repeat from.* Ending with 29 squares.

Work 5 rows of squares, then 3 more, patterns with 5 rows of squares between each. Beginning at the 6th row. Then work at the top and bottom 3 De stitches under every long stitch. And at the sides, the same under every 2 chain, at each corner work 7 De stitches into the square.

For the Border.

At the end of each row cut off the thread and commence again unless directed otherwise. Work at the top and bottom 2 rows thus

1st Row.-Into the centre loop at the corner work 2 long, 3 chain, 2 long into same loop, 3 chain, 2 long into the centre loop of the 3 De stitches over the next square, 3 chain, 2 long into same loop, 3 chain, now work exactly the same, only missing 1 square, working on every alternate one till the end of the row, when work into the corner loop as at beginning.

2nd Row. Turn the work without cutting off the thread, 3 chain, 1 long into centre loop of the 3 chain, 3 chain, 2 long into same loop, 3 chain,* 2 long into centre loop of the 3 chain, 3 chain, 2 more long into the same, 3 chain, repeat from* till the end, omit the 3 chain the last time, fasten off and commence at the side. Begin in the centre loop at the corner, work till the end of the squares as in 1st row of the top and bottom, then after the 3 chain work 2 long into the same loop that the 1st long stitch of the 1st row was worked, 3 chain, 2 long into same loop, 1 chain, 2 long into the same loop that the next 2 long stitches were worked, 3 chain, 2 more long into the same, 1 chain, 3 long into the centre loop of the 3 chain, 3 chain, 3 long into same loop, 3 chain,† 2 long into centre loop of the 3 chain, 3 chain, 2 long into same loop, 3 chain, repeat from,† and work at the other corners exactly the same.

Last Row but one.-Commence at the extreme corner, 9 long into the centre loop of the 3 chain, making 3 chain between each 3rd long stitch, 3 chain,* 2 long into centre of the 3 chain, 3 chain, 2 more long into the same, 3 chain, repeat from all round, working at the corners 9 long.

Last Row. De into every 3 chain round the corners making 9 chain between each, then De under every 3 chain omitting the 3 chain between the 4 long stitches, 9 chain, repeat.

When washed the Tidy should be made nicely blue, and when half dry, but of an equal dryness, pull it in form, particularly the edges, fold it in half lengthways, place it between a linen cloth with a heavy weight upon it till dry. The Border may be made of 5 shades of Amber 4-Thread Berlin Wool, and will wash equally well with White Cotton.
