p a pin at point 17 = net passings with 6 pairs of bobbins = put up
a pin at point 18 and then repeat from the first point * on the left.
PILLOW LACE (figs. 800, 801, 802).--We here give as an example the
same pattern of lace worked in two thicknesses of thread; fig. 801 in
Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C No. 25[A], fig. 802 in Fil a pointer D.M.C No.
30[A], which is of course much thicker. As this pattern is especially
suitable for trimming household articles, made of unbleached linen, such
for instance as table-covers, curtains and hangings of all kinds, we
prefer it made in the thicker thread; even then it looks very well as a
trimming for articles of dress.
It is worked with 40 pairs of bobbins = hang them on one after the other
in a row = put up a pin at point 1 = twisted linen passing = work all
the pairs to point 2 with linen passing = put up the pin at the last
pair = go back through 3 pairs with linen passing = twist 2 pairs once =
go back with linen passing through all the pairs to point 3 = twist each
pair separately = at point 4 twist the 2 pairs and put up the pin =
twist the last pair twice and so on and coming back to point 5 = put up
the pin = come back again to point 6 = return to point 7 = put up the
pins at the two points.
[Illustration: FIG. 800. PATTERN FOR THE PILLOW LACE FIGS. 801 AND 802.]
Divide the 30 other pairs into twos = put up a pin between every set of
two pairs = linen passing. The ground is all worked alike: twist the
pairs twice = linen passing = put up the pins = linen passing to points
6 and 7 = twist the threads in taking them through = make a plait, fig.
796, for the scallop point 8 = put up a pin at the point marked for the
picot = pass the thread of the outside bobbin from right to left, round
the pin, to form the picot = continue the plait to the next picot = put
up a pin = form the picot = continue the plait to point 9 = connect the
plait with the bobbins of points 9 and 7 = make 4 linen passings with 3
pairs = continue the plait = carry the last pair to point 10 = twist the
threads = make 1 linen passing = put up a pin and enclose it = go on in
this manner to point 12 = make the wheel, as in figs. 789 and 790, with
6 pairs of bobbins, hanging on 4 new pairs at point 12 = work with
twisted linen passing = twist the 4 pairs once and cross with linen
passing = take the last pair out from the middle to point 13, join it to
the first pair of the scallop = make all the wheels before co
