by
carrying the thread to the opposite bar and back. In the same way, the
second thread is carried over the first. The damask stitches are
described in the next chapter, in figs. 143 and 144.

LATTICE-GROUND AND DAMASK STITCHES FOR SQUARE, FIG. 105 (fig.
104).--Damask, or gobelin stitches, are given in figs. 152, 153, 154.
The ground of this part of the square (fig. 104) is adorned with narrow
bars, worked in darning stitch. From the centre of one bar, proceed
three bars made on three foundation-threads, and a fourth made on two,
on account of the passage to the next bar.

QUARTER OF THE SQUARE IN SINGLE AND CUT OPEN-WORK, AND DAMASK-STITCH
(fig. 105).--Original size 48 c/m. square. This handsome square is
worked in unbleached cotton on a white ground; it may also be worked in
colours. A very good effect is produced by using Chine d'or D.M.C[A]
red, blue, or green for the gobelin stitch, and a uniform pale tint for
the cut open-work.

Figs. 101, 102, 103, 104 illustrate in detail, one quarter of the
square, which is represented here one third of the original size. The
centre piece (fig. 104) is bordered by four stripes, two long and two
short; the former containing two lozenge-shaped open-work figures
separated and finished off by damask stitches; the latter, only one such
figure. For the insertion in single open-work, that recurs three times,
you will find a variety of designs in figs. 81, 82, 83, 84, 87, 88.

DRAWING IN THE PATTERN (fig. 106).--Darning in the threads, as you do
into a net foundation is a slower process and one that requires greater
skill than drawing them in. The illustration shows the proper order and
direction of stitches for Fig. 108. In this case likewise, the little
bars must be finished, before the actual pattern is filled in.
