Eighth lace stitch (fig. [727]).—This stitch is generally known as the “pea-stitch” on account of the holes occasioned by the different distribution of the stitches.
The first row consists of stitches, set rather closely together, and all the same distance apart. In the second row, you make one button-hole stitch in the last stitch of the first row, then, missing two loops and three button-hole stitches, you make two stitches in the next loops and so on. In the third row, you make three stitches in the big loop, and one in the loop between the stitches of the second row.
Ninth, and tenth lace stitch (figs. [728] and [729]).—Both, the small and the big pointed groups of stitches, begin with a row of close button-hole stitches.
