this with a row of trebles, widening by making extra trebles at corners
to turn them nicely, finish with a row of shells of 8 trebles in a
stitch, miss 3, fasten, miss 3; repeat, and edge with the crochet-silk,
making a double between 1st 2 trebles of shell, (chain 2, a double
between next 2) 6 times, chain 2, double in double between shells, chain
2, and repeat.

on top.
