Fifth row—two stitches light green; three dark blue; one white; three blue; two green.
Sixth row—two stitches light blue; one white; two blue.
Seventh row—two stitches light green; two white; three green.
One plain row of white finishes the stripe. The brown and scarlet rows are again to be worked, when the border may be repeated, alternately with the stripes of the Persian pattern; or, the latter alone may be repeated, with the colour of the ground varied,—the colours of the pattern being also changed, to harmonize with it.—The colours, as above given, are for a white ground.
A Persian Pattern Border.
This pattern is adapted for the border of a table-cover, hearth-rug or stair-carpet. It may be worked in four, six, or eight-thread fleecy, with a steel or ivory needle, according to its appropriation. The colours required are three distinct shades of green, two of scarlet, two of blue, two of gold colour, two of lilac, black, white, and geranium: the proper selection of these constitutes much of the beauty of the pattern:—the geranium colours should be very bright. Commence with:—
No. 10.
Chain and first row—black.
Second row—gold colour.
