No. 26.—Fern Pattern.
Work up the stem with plain stem work, turn the pillow round, work down again leaf by leaf with pins and sewings, plait up to the point of the leaf, taking up sewings, throw and tie and come back as before, each raised sewing to be worked in this way throughout the whole leaf.
Leaves of any tree or plant may be copied in Honiton lace, by taking a careful outline, marking the sewings, &c., working the shadowed portion of the leaf in whole stitch, the lighter in half, and the veinings in raised work.
