throughout, the centre of each figure should consist of 4 stitches in
yellow.

In fig. 321, which serves as a border to the above, only the stalks of
the 4 conventional pinks, which, with the cross in their middle, form a
square, are in brown.

These squares are separated from the bottom border by an insertion, in
Gobelin stitch, worked over 6 threads, in red, blue, green and yellow,
from 20 to 25 stitches of each. This band is edged on both sides with a
row of stem stitches, worked in yellow over 4 threads. The Holbein
stitches that border the band, can be made in whichever colour the
worker prefers, or else in red and gold thread.

BORDERS IN STROKE STITCH (figs. 323, 324, 325).--These three patterns
will give our readers an opportunity of perfecting themselves in
two-sided, square stitch (see figs. 310 and 311), also called stroke, or
line stitch, according as it is worked, in oblique, or straight rows.

We again recommend our readers, to begin by ascertaining the course the
stitches should take, in order to avoid all unnecessary stitches and be
sure of finding their way back according to the prescribed rule.

CORNERS IN STROKE STITCH (figs. 326 and 327).--These pretty little
patterns are suitable for the decoration of ladies' and children's
collars, fine pocket-handkerchiefs and finger napkins, and can be worked
in one or two colours, as preferred. If two colours be used, the darker
should be taken for the interior, the lighter for the narrow outside
edge.
