FOR THE LEAVES AND STEMS.
Make a chain of 80 stitches for the long stem.
First Leaf—Turn, miss 2, 3 plain, (2 chain, miss 2, and 1 treble 4 times), 2 chain, miss 2, 1 plain, turn, leaving the chain stitches for the stem, work 1 chain to cross it; then on the other side of the foundation, 7 chain, miss 1, 1 plain in the 2 chain of foundation, miss 1, 1 plain in the next 2 chain, turn back; and missing the 2 plain, work 5 treble and 1 plain in the 7 chain, turn back; 9 chain, 1 plain in the same 2 chain of the foundation as before, miss 1, 1 plain in the next 2 chain, turn back, and missing the 2 plain, work 7 treble and 1 plain in the 9 chain; turn back, and join it to the 29th chain stitch of the long stem, counting from the commencement; then for the leaf, 7 chain, 1 plain in the 2 chain as before, miss 1, 1 plain, turn back; 5 treble and 1 plain in the 7 chain, turn back; 5 chain, 1 plain in the 2 chain, miss 1, 1 plain, turn back; 3 treble and 1 plain in the 5 chain, turn back; 2 chain, miss 1, 3 treble on the 3 plain, and in the 2 chain at the point of the leaf, (work 1 plain, 1 chain; join it to the 17th chain stitch of the long stem, and on the Leaf, 1 chain, and 1 plain). Work the other side to correspond, thus:—3 treble, 5 chain, 1 plain in the 2 chain, miss 1, 1 plain, turn back, and missing the 2 plain, work 3 treble and 1 plain in the 5 chain, turn back; 7 chain, 1 plain, miss 1, 1 plain, turn back; work 5 treble and 1 plain in the 7 chain, turn back; 9 chain, 1 plain, miss 1, 1 plain, turn back; 7 treble, and 1 plain in the 9 chain, turn back; 7 chain, 1 plain, miss 1, 1 plain, turn back; 5 treble and 1 plain in the 7 chain, turn back; 5 chain, 1 plain; this finishes the Leaf. (The 5 leaves are all worked in the same manner, the difference being in the joining). Work 5 single stitches down the stem: and for the
Second Leaf—38 chain, and work the same as the 1st leaf: but instead of joining it to the 29th chain of the long stem, join it to the 2d division or open space of the 1st leaf, always counting from the point of the leaf; and in the 2d joining at the point of the leaf, join it to the 1st stitch of the long stem.
Third Leaf—34 chain, turn, miss 2, 3 plain, (2 chain, miss 2, and 1 treble 4 times), 2 chain, miss 2, 1 plain, turn; leaving the chain stitches for the stem, work 1 chain to cross it; then on the other side of the foundation, 7 chain, miss 1, 1 plain in the 2 chain of foundation, miss 1, 1 plain in the next 2 chain, turn back, and missing the 2 plain, work 5 treble and 1 plain in the 7 chain, turn back, join it to the 2d division of the 2d leaf; then 9 chain, 1 plain in the same 2 chain of the foundation as before, miss 1, 1 plain in the next 2 chain, turn back, and missing the 2 plain, work 7 treble and 1 plain in the 9 chain; turn back, then 7 chain, 1 plain in the 2 chain as before, miss 1, 1 plain, turn back, 5 treble and 1 plain in the 7 chain, turn back; 5 chain, 1 plain in the 2 chain miss 1, 1 plain, turn back; 3 treble and 1 plain in the 5 chain, turn back; 1 chain, miss 1, 3 treble on the 3 plain, and in the 2 chain at the point of the leaf, (work 1 plain, 2 chain, and 1 plain), turn, and work the other side to correspond, the same as in 1st leaf; when finished, work 8 single stitches down the stem, and for the
Fourth Leaf—25 chain, and work the same as the 3d leaf, joining it to the 4th division of the 3d Leaf; when finished, work 5 single stitches down the stem, and 13 plain down the centre stem; and for the
Fifth Leaf—25 chain, turn, miss 2, 3 plain, (2 chain, miss 2 and 1 treble 4 times), 2 chain, miss 2, 1 plain, turn; leaving the chain stitches for the stem, work 1 chain to cross it; then on the other side of the foundation, 7 chain, miss 1, 1 plain in the 2 chain of foundation, miss 1, 1 plain in the next 2 chain, turn back, and missing the 2 plain, work 5 treble and 1 plain in the 7 chain, turn back; 9 chain, 1 plain in the same 2 chain of the foundation as before, miss 1, 1 plain in the next 2 chain, turn back, and missing the 2 plain, work 7 treble and 1 plain in the 9 chain, turn back; then 7 chain, 1 plain in the 2 chain as before, miss 1, 1 plain, turn back; 5 treble and 1 plain in the 7 chain, turn back; 5 chain, 1 plain in the 2 chain, miss 1, 1 plain, turn back; 3 treble, and 1 plain in the 5 chain, turn back; join it to the 4th division of the 4th Leaf; 2 chain, miss 1, 3 treble on the 3 plain, and in the 2 chain at the point of the leaf, (work 1 plain, 2 chain, and 1 plain), turn, and work the other side to correspond, thus—3 treble, 5 chain, 1 plain in the 2 chain, miss 1, 1 plain, turn back, and missing the 2 plain, work 3 treble and 1 plain in the 5 chain, turn back; 7 chain, 1 plain, miss 1, 1 plain, turn back; work 5 treble and 1 plain in the 7 chain, turn back; 9 chain, 1 plain, miss 1, 1 plain, turn back; 7 treble, and 1 plain in the 9 chain, turn back; join on a rose at the centre stitch of the 1st 8 treble; then for the leaf, 7 chain, 1 plain, miss 1, 1 plain, turn back; 5 treble and 1 plain in the 7 chain, turn back; 5 chain, 1 plain, 5 single down the stem, and 14 plain down the centre stem; then
For the Stem of the Rose—9 chain; join it to the rose by working a single stitch in the 22d stitch from the last joining; then 9 chain, and join it to the 12th stitch from the last joining, 10 chain, join it to the 6th stitch from the last joining, turn, and work 28 plain down the stem, and 5 plain down the centre stem.
For the Small Leaf—16 chain, join it to the 15th plain stitch of the stem of the rose, turn, work 3 plain, 5 treble, 2 plain, 2 single, leaving 3 chain for the stem; then work 26 chain for the stem of the bud; and to form the
Calyx and Bud—Turn, miss 4, 8 plain, turn, work 1 chain to cross the stem; and on the other side, 2 plain, 3 treble; join it to the 5th stitch of the stem of the rose, then 2 treble, 1 plain; and in the round loop, 1 plain, 9 chain, turn, miss 1, 8 plain on the 9 chain, 1 plain in the round loop, turn back; (1 chain, 1 treble, 2 chain, and 1 treble: these 2 treble in the last 1 plain); then 1 single in the 4th stitch of the 8 plain, turn back; (1 chain, miss 1, 2 treble, 3 chain, and 2 treble, 1 chain: these 4 stitches in the 2 chain), 5 single down the side of the 1 treble, and 1 plain in the round loop, 3 chain, 1 single in the 1 chain stitch 5 chain, turn; miss 1, work 8 plain down the chain stitches, and 1 plain in the round loop; then down the calyx, 1 plain, 5 treble, 2 plain, 13 single down the stem, 3 single down the stem of the small leaf, and 6 plain down the centre stem; then 13 chain; for the
Second Bud—Work a bud and calyx as before, not joining it; when finished, work 5 plain, and 3 treble down the centre stem, turn back; work 5 chain, miss 9, and 15 single stitches on the side of the bud. This finishes one pattern of the Collar, and is to be repeated, with the following variation:—
