king the large scallop at the point of the
square, and pass the double thread over the 3rd treble that comes before
the 3 trebles at the point of the square and make: 1 plain stitch on
each stitch of the square, up to the 3rd treble on the opposite side;
then draw out a long loop which you carry back to the beginning. In the
2nd row increase by 2 stitches, right and left of the middle stitches,
for the rounding of the scallop, and decrease by 1 on each side. Make 10
rows in all, and in each row, decrease by 4 stitches and increase by 2.
Fasten off after the 10th row.

The two little scallops, right and left of the big one, are worked in 5
rows, over 5 trebles and 4 intervals of chain stitches, taking off 2
stitches in every row. For the small triangle between, worked in 4 rows,
you must increase on both sides by 2 stitches.

When all the scallops are finished, edge them with 3 plain stitches, 1
picot and 3 plain and work in all the ends of thread from the preceding
rows at the same time.

For the footing and the small triangles, that fill up the spaces between
the squares: 22 chain, miss 1, 10 rows of plain stitches, worked to and
fro, decreasing by 1 in every row.

When the triangle is finished, make on one side, 1 single in every row;
then, on the 11 remaining chain stitches, a second triangle, like the
first, which you then join to the plain stitches, above the 5th treble;
then returning along the side of the triangle, add 3 plain, 1 picot, 3
plain, 1 picot, 3 plain; 1 single on each of the 22 chain stitches.

Edge the next side of the 2nd triangle like the first, join the corner
stitch to the 5th treble; edge the two inner sides 3 times with 3 plain
stitches and 2 picots.

Then from right to left on the plain stitches: 6 plain, 15 chain, join
them to the middle of the 2 triangles = 1 single on each chain, 5 plain
on the square; 11 chain, 1 single on the 9th of the first 15 chain; 1
single stitch on each of the chain stitches; 1 plain on each stitch of
the square, to the point where the squares join, 8 chain, 1 single on
the 6th of the 11 chain, 1 single on each of the 8 chain.

On the 2nd side: 7 plain, 5 chain, 1 single on the 6th of the 11 chain,
1 single on each of the 5 chain, 5 plain, 9 chain, 1 single on the 9th
of the 15 chain, 1 single on each of the 9 chain, 6 plain on the square;
fasten off.

Fasten on, at the 2nd of the 3 corner stitches = 17 chain, 1 plain on
the corner stitch of the triangle; 8
