treble = fasten off.

For the scallops on the right side, divide the stitches between the
corner scallops into equal portions. Supposing that they are divisible
by 22, count 9 stitches to the right, fasten on the thread at the 9th; *
7 chain, miss 2 trebles of the row beneath, 1 plain on the 3rd, 1 single
stitch on the next = turn the work = 2 chain, 1 treble on the 7 chain,
repeat 5 times from * and finish with 2 chain, 1 single on the 2nd lower
treble, 1 single on the next treble = turn the work = 2 chain and 1
cluster stitch between each treble of the preceding row, 2 cluster
stitches between the 3rd and 2nd trebles = after the 8th stitch: 2
chain, miss 1 treble, 1 single on each of the 2 next stitches = repeat 3
times over 2 chain stitches of the previous row: 2 chain, 1 cluster
stitch = on the 4th, 5th and 6th chain stitches: 2 cluster and 2 chain;
on the 3 last chain the same stitches as on the 3 first = then 1 single
over each of the next 18 and repeat from *.

The final row consists of open picots, formed of 5 chain stitches and 1
plain, between each cluster stitch; after the last of these stitches and
in the indent of the scallops on the straight line, only 2 chain
stitches and 1 plain on the 3rd stitch.

PATTERN IN SQUARES FOR COUNTERPANES (fig. 478).--This pattern may be
worked in the same stitch as the previous one, either in Tunisian
crochet or in any other of the stitches already described.

Make a foundation chain of 18 stitches on which you work 10 rows to and
fro in the dark colour. The 11th and following rows up to the 21st are
worked in the light colour, then take up the dark colour again. Each
stripe should be 3 squares long.

The 2nd stripe is begun in the light colour, and the stitches, made at
the beginning of each row, are joined to those of the first stripe, as
the stitches of the 3rd are to those of the 2nd and so on.

When you have made sufficient big squares, each consisting of 9 small
ones, border them with seven rows of plain stitches, worked to and fro.

The 4 squares that form the corners are only to be bordered in this
manner on two sides; the squares along
