TATTING SCALLOP TRIMMING.
Materials—The edging being used to ornament more than one of the patterns in this book, the materials are given with each article.
The Scallops—Fill the Shuttle with the Wool, and commencing a loop work 2 double stitches, then with the Mesh or pin (make a pearl loop and work a double stitch alternately, until 6 loops are made); then work another double stitch and draw the loop nearly close, leaving a space in the centre the size of the Mesh.
Leave three-quarters of an inch of Wool before commencing the next Scallop. Continue them until the length is made.
Work with the Tricot Needle; take the Tatting and, keeping the straight edge at the top, work a plain Crochet stitch in the last pearl of the Scallop; then work 2 plain in the space in the centre of the Scallop and 1 plain in the last pearl. The thread which connects the Scallops is to be worked under these stitches. Continue working 4 plain stitches to each Scallop.
