Violet Design No. 613 A.
These octagon shaped patterns require no buttonhole work on the edges, as the linen is folded under and securely sewed as shown by the illustration. The effect is quite novel, and as the designs are simple only a small quantity of silk is needed to work the pattern.
Flowers.—Work solid. Use Corticelli Filo Silk, Violet, 725, for the edge of the petals, shading darker toward the center with 727, 728, 729. Make the three lower petals lighter than the upper two. In the center of the open flowers work a few stitches of Yellow, 506, and a stitch of Green, 781, on each side of the yellow. Work the buds with 729, 728, and 727. Work the calyx solid with 781 and 782, the darker shade nearest the stem.
Leaves.—Work solid, using 781 for the edge and shading darker to the center with 782. Work the veins and stems in 783. The slit in corner, or the line across the ends of the stems, work in fine buttonhole stitch with Persian Floss, White, 615. (Easy.)
