3. Put 1 single crochet between next 2 double crochets, and 3 double crochets between the next 2. Continue to do this all around the top.
4. Tie on the trimming cotton, and make 1 slip stitch in each double crochet of the scallops, with 2 chain stitches between each slip stitch.
To Make the Thumb
1. Fasten yarn to the inner edge of the little opening. (See picture on [page 212].)
2. Make single crochet stitches in the stitches around the opening, except on the top part of the thumb, where you should put 1 double crochet. (That is, in the middle chain stitch. See No. 4 on [page 212].)
3. Continue with single crochets.
4. Second row: Same as the first.
5. Third row: Make single crochets in every other stitch, drawing the thumb down to a point. Break off the yarn and draw end with a zephyr needle into the inside of the thumb.
To Make the Runner
With the trimming cotton, make a chain of 50 chain stitches, and run through the runner spaces as in making doll’s petticoat ([page 90].)
