It will be remembered that when the letters b a occur, the stitches between are to be repeated backwards, those following the a being the centre of the line, whether few or many.
The knitted edgings for trimming this sachet are given separately; the narrow one trims the point, which is then sewed to the top of one of the squares; the two squares are then sewed together at the bottom and sides, and the broad lace goes all round. The whole is lined with silk or gingham.
