Make nine Flowers for the Crown and four for the Lappets.
The Lappets.
Work with the White wool and Tricot needle. Make a chain of 11 stitches.
1st row—Raise 11 loops in the ordinary Tricot stitch, and work back, see [page 28].
2nd row—Raise a loop, Increase a loop, raise 2 loops; then to decrease, put the needle into the three next stitches, and bring the wool through them all. Raise the 2 next loops as before. Increase again, and raise the 2 last loops. There will be 11 loops on the needle. Work back as before. Work 8 rows more as the last.
11th row—Raise the 1st stitch and increase a loop as before; then decrease the two next stitches, taking them together as one stitch; take the next three loops together; then take the two next loops together as one stitch, then Increase a loop as before, and raise the two last loops. There will now be 9 loops. Work back.
12th row—Raise a loop and increase as before; raise the next loop, then take 3 together, raise a loop, increase, raise 2 loops. Work back. Work 8 rows more as the last.
21st row—Raise a loop and increase as before; then put the needle into the next 5 loops, and bring the wool through them all as one stitch; increase again and raise 2 loops: there will now be 7 loops. Work back.
22nd row—Raise a loop and increase; then take the next 3 loops together; increase and raise 2 loops. Work back. Work 20 rows more as the last, or any length preferred.
The Edge—With the colored wool, work loosely a row of plain crochet all round the lappet, putting the needle into the spaces formed by the increased stitches. 2 chain and an extra plain stitch should be made at the two ends and centre of the first white row.
