next plain stitches. Fasten off. The 2 next rows both begin on the
right and consist of plain stitches only; in the indent of the rings
join 3 stitches of the preceding row together by 1 plain.

The 5 leaves over the circles--Begin with the middle and largest one--25
chain, miss 1, 3 plain, 2 chain, miss 2, 1 treble, 2 chain and so on, 7
trebles in all = turn the work = 1 plain on each stitch, passing under
only 1 loop of the stitches = on the stitch you missed: 3 plain; on the
second side: 1 plain on each stitch = turn the work = do as in the last
row = turn the work = do as in the 2 last rows, excepting as regards the
5 last stitches which you leave untouched = turn the work = 15 plain, *
1 chain = turn the work = 12 plain = turn the work = 12 plain on the 12
plain and on all those you missed **. Fasten off the thread. On the 2nd
side of the leaf: draw the thread through the 6th stitch, counting
upwards from below and on the side that is not indented, 15 plain and
repeat from * to ** = then make: 1 row of plain, putting the needle
through both the loops of the lower stitches = at the points of the
leaves: 3 plain, in the indents of the leaves miss 1 stitch.

First leaf on the right of the large leaf--25 chain, miss 1, 3 plain, 1
chain, 1 treble on the 3rd chain; 7 trebles in all = turn the work = 1
plain on each stitch, 18 stitches altogether, to the corner stitch; 3
plain on the corner stitch. The 2nd side is worked like the 1st.

Add 3 more rows of plain stitches and increase 3 plain on the stitch at
the point = in the 3rd row leave the 5 last stitches empty = turn the
work = 11 plain, 1 chain = turn the work = 11 plain and 5 plain on the 5
stitches that were passed over; fasten off.

On the opposite side fasten on the thread on the wrong side at the 8th
stitch counting from the point: 12 plain, 1 chain = turn the work = 12
plain = turn the work = make plain stitches up to the end of the leaf
and border it, like the large leaf, with plain stitches = join the 8
first stitches to the corresponding ones in the large leaf = make 4
leaves all alike.

2nd leaf on the left--19 chain, miss 1, 3 plain, 2 chain, 1 treble on
the 2nd chain; 7 trebles in all = turn the work = 1 plain on each of the
preceding stitches, 3 plain on the stitch at the point = turn the work =
1 row of plain stitches = turn the work = 1 row of plain = turn the work
= 1 row of plain, excepting on the last 7 stitches = turn the work = 14
plain, 1 ch
