Fig. 161. Eighteenth pattern.

Nineteenth pattern (fig. [162]).—The steps formed by this pattern are 11 stitches high, and 11 wide, and each stitch covers 4 threads.

Fig. 162. Nineteenth pattern.

Eight threads intervene between each row of steps, which are covered at the bend, by a square of stitches, from the last of which, the thread is carried on at once, to the four single stitches.

Twentieth pattern (fig. [163]).—The 4 squares set opposite to each other, with 2 threads between, are edged all round by 3 rows of overcasting.

Fig. 163. Twentieth pattern.

Twenty-first pattern (fig. [164]).—Begin by rows of stitches, like those described in fig. [155], over 4 and 2 threads, with 4 threads between, not counting those covered with cross-stitch. Between the two rows of cross-stitch, join 6 threads together by a back-stitch, and carry your thread over the two last of the 6, to the 2 first of the next cluster. The narrow diagonal stripes are separated by 24 threads, exclusive of those covered by the cross-stitches. These spaces are filled in with squares, 10 threads wide and 10 long, formed by back-stitches crossed on the wrong side.
