t chain stitch: 3
double trebles, of which you retain the two last loops on the hook, 1
over, draw the thread through the 4 loops, 5 chain, 1 single on the
stitch on which the trebles are.

CHAIN PICOTS.--For the small chain picots, make: 5 chain and 1 plain
stitch on the first of these 5 stitches. For the large ones: 5 chain and
1 treble on the first stitch.

PICOTS IN BULLION STITCH (figs. 424 and 425).--5 chain, 1 treble in
bullion stitch drawn up into a ring, and joined to the 5th chain stitch.

DROOPING PICOTS (fig. 434).--5 chain, drop the loop, put the needle
into the first of the 5 chain, take up the dropped loop, and draw it
through the stitch.

LACE PICOTS (figs. 435 and 436).--Fig. 435 represents picots formed of
chain stitches, as follows: 2 chain, put the needle into the first, 1
over, bring the thread back to the front, 2 chain: * put the needle into
the two loops, and at the same time, into the second loop and the first
chain, draw the thread through in a loop, make 2 chain and repeat from
*.

In order to make the picots more even and regular, it is advisable to
form them over a coarse knitting needle or mesh.

Fig. 436 represents picots attached by plain stitches to the edge of a
finished piece of work; this is done as follows: 1 plain stitch, draw
out the loop to the proper length for a picot, and slip it on a mesh:
put the needle into the horizontal parts of the last stitches, turn the
thread round the needle, draw it through in a loop, and make 1 plain
stitch on the next stitch and so on.

METHOD FOR COPYING TAPESTRY PATTERNS IN CROCHET WORK (figs. 437 and
438).--Printed cross stitch and embroidery patterns can very well be
copied in crochet work especially when they are in two colours only, or
rather, are drawn in one colour, on a plain ground.

The way in which such patterns are copied in crochet is by means of
chain stitches and trebles, which, rising one above the other in rows,
form little squares. For each square marked on the pattern, you must
count, in the grounding, 1 treble and 2 chain stitches; in the solid
parts, 3 trebles.
