Work five Divisions more the same, and sew the slanting sides of them together. Three rounds of 1 chain, miss 1 and 1 plain, should be worked along the neck, then commencing at the right point work a plain row up the front, across the neck, and down the other side.
The Trimming in Tatting.
The Rosette—Fill the Shuttle with the Wool and using the mesh for the pearl loops, commence a loop, work 1 double, (then make a pearl and work a double stitch alternately for 7 loops); draw close. Keep the Wool at the back and join it to the centre pearl.
Work another Rosette the same, and join it to the same pearl of the previous Rosette as before; then keep the Wool as the back and join to the centre pearl of the last Rosette. Repeat the last Rosette until sufficient is made for the sides and border, to which it is to be attached by sewing it with the same colored Wool.
The Rosettes down the Divisions are made in the same manner, but as they are to be smaller, only 5 pearls instead of 7 pearls are to be made for each Rosette.
The Balls—Take a yard of the Wool the same color as the Tatting, split it three times, and wind it round the tops of the first and second fingers, take it off the fingers and wind a piece of fine thread about three times very tightly round the middle of the wool, knotting the ends together, also tie in a piece of the wool not split, to form the thread to attach the Balls to the work; cut the wool at each end, rounding it into the shape.
Make sufficient of these Balls to go all round the Edge, placing them about two inches apart.
