Balls for trimmings (figs. [836], [837], [838], [839], [840], [841]).—Amongst the crochet patterns are two that are finished off with balls; to make these, begin by cutting a number of rounds of cardboard, two for every ball, with holes in the middle, fig. [836].
If you have a great many balls to make it is well worth your while providing yourself with a metal die of the proper size, to cut the rounds with.
