rnately, the change
from one to the other is distinctly marked in the engraving.

The outside edge consists of light scallops, formed by the regular
increase and decrease of the stitches. The original piece of work from
which our drawing was taken, forms the border of a dark blue plush
carpet; the red and ecru hues of the lace harmonize exceedingly well
with the soft colour of the plush.

INSERTION IN KNOTTED STITCH (figs. 814 and 815).--This kind of work,
similarly composed of knotted stitches, can be used instead of crochet
insertion or single and cut openwork in linen. It looks exceedingly well
as a trimming for bed and table linen and is executed on foundation
threads or cords, which connect the different figures together, with
closely connected rows of knots between.

INSERTION IN KNOTTED STITCH (figs. 816 and 817).--The mode of making
the insertion in knotted stitch, which is represented in the two
accompanying engravings, is supposed to be of Italian origin, but we
have met with quite as perfect specimens of work done in the same way,
which were the products of Persia and Asia Minor. We have called it by
the same name as the preceding patterns, for even the way in which the
stitch is worked is almost the same. Through some slight difference
however in the interlacing of the threads, shown by the open loops in
fig. 817, the stitches lie closer together and are alike on both sides
of the work.

No difficulty will be found in making out the course of the rows; it is
best to begin by the two rows of stitches that form the perpendicular
bars and make the stitches, that compose the 4 staves between the bars
next. For the little picots see fig. 700.
