THE WRISTBAND.
IN TATTING.
1st Œillet—Fill the shuttle with the gold silk or twine and commence a loop, work 2 double stitches, then (1 pearl and 2 double 3 times), draw the loop quite close; and for the
2nd Œillet—Commence a loop half an inch from the last and work 2 double, then join to the last pearl loop, work 2 double, 1 pearl, 2 double, 1 pearl, 2 double, draw close. Join to the Silk left between the œillets, which will keep it firm; and there will now be about a quarter of an inch between the œillets, which is just sufficient to keep the work straight, Repeat the 2nd œillet until there are 21, then leave a quarter of an inch of silk and join to the last pearl, leave another quarter and join to the next pearl, which is the centre one of the œillet. Turn the work and join to the centre pearl loop of each œillet, leaving a quarter of an inch between to make a straight line to correspond with the first side. Fasten off.
