To make up the crown, draw a circle the size of the copy, on mounted paper, tack the crochet on it, and connect all the parts with open English lace worked in Evans’s boar’s-head, No. 90. (For the Point Lace Stitches, see Part III. of this work.)
Those who prefer it, may sew the crochet on a round of Brussels net, as is so generally done with real Honiton lace.
INITIALS.
[Fig. 2.]
Materials.—Embroidery cotton, No. 70, white, and ingrain scarlet. These letters are particularly suitable for marking linen, and similar heavy articles. They should be done in satin stitch, with the white cotton, and then every part should have a fine scarlet thread run on each side of it, surrounding the raised part, and sewed closely over with the same ingrain scarlet cotton.
[Fig. 3.]
White embroidery cotton, No. 80. The work of these letters should be very delicately done, the eyelet-holes made with a coarse needle; the point of a stiletto would make them too large. These letters are suitable for handkerchiefs.
KNITTED BAG.

Materials.—7 shades of pink, blue, or green German wool, 2 yards of silk cord to match, and 10 silver rings; bone needles, No. 8. Cast on 90 stitches with the darkest shade.
1st.—Slip 1, ✕ make 1, knit 2 together, knit 2 together, make 1, knit 1, ✕; repeat to the end.
