Buttercup Design No. 406 B.
These designs are especially adapted for beginners. The 7 and 9 inch sizes make pretty doilies, and the larger linens work up into very attractive centerpieces, tray cloths, and bureau scarfs. Only a small quantity of silk is required for these patterns.
Flowers.—Work solid. Begin the edge of petals with Corticelli Filo Silk, Yellow, 506, shading gradually lighter to center with 505, 503. Vary the shading in petals, making some light and some dark. Work the calyx with Green, 781. The buds should be worked darker than the open flowers. A study of Colored Plate XVI will be found helpful to beginners.
Leaves.—Work solid, beginning points with 781 and shading to midvein with 782. Work the stems in outline stitch with 782. (Easy.)
