Anti-Macassar.
As Pattern No. 10.
Mesh No. 6, cotton No. 12, foundation 70 stitches.
Net 120 rows. For the fringe, with double cotton, and a mesh 2 inches wide, net 2 stitches in 1 all round; it is then embroidered thus—thread a rug needle with the cotton, and begin in the corner; take 1 thread, and miss 1, twice, as in darning; work 5 threads in each; then work the contrary way, forming a vandyke. Work 2 rows in this manner; then count the middle stitch of the work, and make a diamond, same as the border.
Various patterns may be worked in this manner, but they are impossible to describe.
