by a
picot of 6 chain, to the middle picot of the 6th scallop underneath the
connecting bar. Repeat the same on the 2nd side and make 6 lozenges in
all.

The lace that finishes off the collar at the neck must be made to stand
up, and is begun by a row of trebles on the plain stitches.

From the corner as far as the 2nd treble of the 4th scallop, make triple
trebles, from the 4th scallop to the 6th chain stitch after the 5th
scallop, make double trebles, from this point to the 2nd scallop of the
next semicircle, only single trebles, then again double trebles and
finish with triple trebles as at the beginning. Decrease by 2 or 3
stitches in each square.

When this row of trebles is finished, fasten off, and fasten on again on
the right and on the base of the 1st treble which you border with 4
chain, then follow: * 15 plain on the row of trebles, put the needle in
under the 2 loops of the trebles = turn the work = 2 chain, 1 double
treble, miss 4 plain, 1 double treble on the 5th stitch, 2 chain, 1
double treble, 2 chain, 1 double treble, 2 chain, miss 4 plain = turn
the work = bring the loop to the front; ** 1 plain, 1 picot, 1 plain, 1
plain on the treble; repeat 3 times again from ** and add 4 plain on
the trebles = turn the work = 6 chain, 1 double treble over the treble
beneath; again 3 times 6 chain stitches and 1 double treble; join the
4th set of 6 chain to the 4th plain = bring the thread back to the
front: 1 plain on the 6 chain = 8 chain, miss 1, and make on the others:
1 plain, 1 half treble, 2 trebles, 1 treble 11/2 treble long, 2 double
trebles, 1 plain stitch on the 6 chain. The next point comes above a
treble; you make 7 points in all. After the 7th: 5 plain, then 7 chain,
1 plain on each point between the points and join.

Join the 8th set of 7 chain on to the 4th plain of the first treble =
then add: 2 chain, draw the loop from the wrong side to the right
through the 1st plain stitch; 8 trebles, 1 picot, 4 trebles, 12 chain,
bring them back over the picot, join it between the 4th and 5th trebles;
5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain, 1 picot, 5 plain.

Over each point: 1 picot and over the picot 1 scallop, like the one made
in the square. On the 7th point only 1 picot = after the last treble on
the last chain: 2 chain; then go on with the plain stitches until you
have 27 and repeat from *.

In the semicircles that follow you leave out the first and last little
scallops, the first and the la
