A Table Cover, or Pillow.
Six-thread fleecy with a steel needle.
The pattern of the border is in black,—the ground in shades of gold colour. Commence with a chain of black, and one plain row of the same; then, two plain rows of red brown. In the next row begin the pattern as follows:—
First row—black, with the single stitches of the ground in red brown.
Second and third rows—black and orange.
Fourth, fifth, and sixth rows—black, and gold colour.
No. 13.
Seventh, eighth, and ninth rows—black and yellow. One plain row of straw colour, followed by one plain row of white, complete the border.
Commence the ground of the centre, with one plain row of middle blue. On this blue ground, work the pattern in the following colours:—
First row—dark claret.
Second row—claret.
Third row—claret, with the three centre stitches in white.
Fourth row—middle scarlet.
Fifth row—light scarlet.
Sixth and seventh rows—(forming the second pattern of the centre)—the gold colour and yellow that were used in the ground of the border.
Commence again with the claret, as in the first row of the pattern.
When the square is completed, neatly run in the wools with a rug needle, or tie them close to the work; this will produce a firm edge, on which a fringe may be sewn.
