If there is any difficulty in counting the threads when working the green across, look at the back of the work.
Repeat the 6 rows until all the canvas between the pink threads is covered.
The Twisted and Darned Pattern.
If you want to use the design for a carpet you can make it larger and square-shaped, or here is another design that is thicker, and will therefore be softer and nicer for the dolls’ feet.
THE TWISTED AND DARNED CARPET PATTERN.
This twisted pattern is also shown in the shape for a rug, which measures 5 inches long by 3 inches wide, but it can be made whatever size and shape you like. It has also been worked on Congress Canvas, with Baldwin & Walker’s Ladyship 3-ply Fingering. The colours used are light green for the twisted pattern, heliotrope for the star in the middle, and dark green for the darning. With this carpet a paper with pansies or violets would look very pretty.
Here again little samples of the stitches have been worked on canvas, that you may see clearly how they are done.
