Rh Count the points of braid and place them as shown in No. 107. Work one double in the seventh and eighth points together, two chain. Join these two pieces of braid together by working one double into each of the four points on both sides together (see design). Fasten off.


 * Now work one double into the second point from the top of left-hand side of braid, two chain, one double into next point, one chain, one double into next point, one chain, one treble into each of the three next successive points of the braid, one chain, one double into each of the three next points of the braid, join to the first double of this inner side of point, and fasten off (with a needle, to secure the cotton and make the work neat). Between the small points, which come alternately, join with a needle and cotton, working with it two chain between the points. Repeat from * until you have eight complete points (see No. 107).

For the inside of the pattern work one double into the first inner left-hand point of braid, six chain, one double into the next inner point, twelve chain, one double into next point, six chain, one treble into each of three next inner points, six chain, one double into the next point, six chain, one single into the centre of twelve chain, six chain, one double into the next point, four chain, one single into the second of first six chain, two chain, one double into the lower point. This completes the inner part; fasten off.

The braid is carried across to begin the next outer pattern in the same place as the last.

Leave eight clear points on the lower side of the braid, and begin the next circle. (Ten circles are needed for the d'oyley).

After working between the first two lines of braid for the next circle, work on the outer side of the points of braid left between the two circles, two chain, one
