pair
once = take out the pin at point _a_ and put it up again at the same
point between the pairs = enclose the pin with 1 half passing = twist
the pair once = lay the 1st pair aside = 1 half passing with the 2nd and
3rd pair = twist the pair again = take out the pin at _b_, put it in
again at the same point between the pair = enclose the pin = twist the
pairs again = lay the 2nd pair aside = 1 half passing with the 3rd and
4th pair = twist the pair again = take out the needle at _c_ and put it
in again at the same point between the pairs = enclose the pin = twist
the pair again = 1 half passing with the 3rd and 2nd pair = twist the
pair again = put up a pin at point 1 = enclose the pin = twist the pair
again = 1 half passing with the 2nd and 1st pair = twist the pair again
= put up a pin at point 2 = enclose the pin = work point 2 and 1 with
the 3rd and 2nd pair = 1 half passing with the 4th and 5th pair = twist
the pairs again = take out the pin at _d_ and put it in again at the
same point between the pair = work point _e_ exactly like point _d_ with
the 5th and 6th pair = work point 4 like point 3 with the 4th and 5th
pair = work points 5, 6 and 7 in a slanting direction from right to left
= carry out point 8 with the 5th and 4th pair = lay both pairs aside =
work point 9 with the 3rd and 2nd pair = work point _f_ like point _e_
with the 6th and 7th pair = work point _g_ like point _f_ with the 7th
and 8th pair = then work points 10 to 15 with the 6th and 7th pair =
point 16 with the 7th and 6th pair = point 17 with the 5th and 4th pair
= point 18 with the 3rd and 2nd pair = point _h_ like point _g_ with the
8th and 9th pair = point _i_ with the 9th and 10th pair = points 19 to
26 with the 9th and 10th pair = point 27 with the 9th and 8th pair =
point 28 with the 7th and 6th pair = point 29 with the 5th and 4th pair
= point 30 with the 3rd and 2nd pair. Proceed in this manner until the
whole ground be finished.

[Illustration: FIG. 794. DOUBLE OR ORNAMENTAL GROUND.]

DOUBLE OR ORNAMENTAL GROUND (figs. 793 and 794).--This ground should be
worked in a comparatively fine material; we should recommend Fil a
dentelle D.M.C Nos. 30 to 100. Put up pins at points _a_ and _g_ in the
pattern and hang on a pair of bobbins = put up pins likewise at _b_,
_c_, _d_, _e_ and _f_ and hang on a pair of bobbins to each = 1 half
passing with the 2nd and 3rd pair = take out the pin at poi
