ired and
joining them together, as shown in the illustration, you work a band
for the neck-part of the collar as follows:--

Work a few plain at the end, then ch. 10, and work 1 treble where it
requires a treble, and a double where it requires a double, and a
plain in the centre of the stalks and rounds as you see the stitches
in the engraving, so as to make it lie to the shape of the neck.

2nd row: Ch. 2, miss 2, work 1 treble, repeat to the end, turn back.

3rd: Ch. 2, work 1 treble at the top of the treble of last row, repeat
to the end, turn back.

4th: D.c., fasten off, which completes the collar.

This collar is begun by making the open hem work thus: 2 ch., miss 3,
1 s.d.c., 2 ch., miss 1 s.d.c., X 2 ch., miss 1, 1 d.c., X 3 times,
then 2 ch., miss 1, 1 s.t.c., then use the t.c., and finally the long
t.c. for the widest parts, and gradually decreasing to s.c. at the
end. On the inner side of this, do as many half-circles as the
engraving indicates: thus, 1 s.c. 1 s.d.c. 1 d.c., 2 t.c., 1 d.c., 1
s.d.c., 1 s.c.; the roses near the neck may then be worked and joined
to these circles in their places. The oblong flowers are then done,
beginning in the centre, with a chain, worked in s.c., a round of d.c.
on this, and a succession of loops all round. Join these flowers in
their places; then make the roses, working from the engraving which is
the best guide, joining these to each other, and to the oblong
flowers, and finally working the neck with the dotted bars as seen in
the engraving.

Each of the rows in this collar, large and small, are done separately,
beginning with the circle in the centre, and making the six leaves
round it. Each rose is to be joined to the others, where it is
indicated in the engraving, and at the point of two of the petals of
the largest are three small loops, which serve to connect it with the
edge. All the sets of roses required for the length of the collar
being done, the barred edge follows, the trefoils being worked on it,
where they occur, and the roses being joined to it in their proper
places. On this line, another of alternate
