Bar with picot made in bullion stitch (fig. [700]).—Put the needle halfway into the last button-hole stitch, twist the thread ten or twelve times round it from left to right, draw it through and tighten the thread, so that the spiral on the thread form a semicircle, then continue the bar (see also for the bullion stitch figs. [179] and [661]).
Bar with button-hole picot (fig. [701]).—Cover rather more than half the bar with button-hole stitches, carry the thread three times to the 6th stitch and back, then button-hole these threads that are attached to the bar in the same way as the bar itself and finish the bar in the usual way.
These button-hole picots are generally used for edging lace; they may in their turn be adorned with small pinned picots to produce a richer effect.
