Buttercup Design No. 611 A. Rococo Border.

Border.—Work the scallop with Corticelli Persian Floss, White, 615, in buttonhole stitch long and short to the inside line. Shade into the white with one thread of Corticelli Filo Silk, 692.8., making an even line or finish on the narrow part of the scallop but leaving an uneven edge at the points. Shade these points with a few stitches of 692.9, thus giving them a darker effect.

Four Corners in Border.—Work the cross-bar in outline stitch with one thread of Corticelli Filo Silk, 692.8. Make a cross stitch with 692.9 where the lines intersect. Stuff the two jewels with cotton, or, better still, Corticelli Persian Floss, to raise the work, and then work over in satin stitch with Filo, 692.8, and outline with the same shade.
