Commence with the Wool for the centre, and make 15 chain stitches.
1st row—Miss the last 4 chain and work a plain crochet stitch in the next stitch; (then 2 chain, miss 1 and 1 plain, 5 times); turn back. It should measure 3 inches in length without stretching. If single Wool is used it should be worked loosely.
2nd row—Work 3 chain, miss 1 and 1 treble in the last 2 chain; then 2 chain, miss 2 and 1 plain in each loop of 2 chain to the end; turn back.
3rd row—Work the same as the 2nd row.
4th row—3 chain, miss 1, 1 treble in the last loop of chain; then 2 chain, miss 2, and 1 plain as before to the end; and to Increase a loop work 3 chain and 1 plain in the same loop as the last plain stitch; turn back.
5th row—Work the same as the 4th row.
Repeat the last 4 rows 6 times more. As the work will increase two loops every four rows there will now be 20 loops. It is intended that the work should be longer at the sides than in the centre of the division.
30th row—3 chain, miss 1 and 1 treble; then 2 chain, miss 2 and 1 plain as before, for 7 loops, then work 5 loops, making only 1 chain instead of 2 chain; then work 7 loops with 2 chain, and increase in the last loop.
31st row—3 chain, miss 1, 1 treble, then work 7 loops with 2 chain; 6 loops with 1 chain, and 7 loops of 2 chain; then increase at the end.
32nd row—Work 1 chain, miss 1 and 1 plain in each loop of chain to the end; then 1 chain and 1 plain in the last loop. Work 2 rows more as the last, and fasten off.
