The twisted pattern is worked in satin stitch over 4 threads of canvas.
You will see this stitch is described on [page 71], and if you look at the pattern carefully, you will get the twist over and under quite right. To make the corners, work the stitches over 3, then 2, and 1 thread, then over the middle, work the other side of corner over 1, 2, and 3 threads, finish over 4 threads into the same hole as the last stitch, over 4 threads on the other side of the corner. Look at the pattern on the canvas as you work this out, that will also show how many stitches to do, and the way they are arranged.
For the star in the centre, work from corner to corner twice, crossing the thread in the centre, then another stitch from the centre hole on the top to the centre hole at opposite end, and another across the centre.
The canvas between the twisted pattern is darned, that is, pass the thread over 2 threads of canvas and under 2 threads—this also is plainly shewn on the coarse canvas.
A HEARTHRUG IN THE DIAGONAL DESIGN.
Work blanket stitch into every hole around the edge.
A square carpet of this design, with a small rug of the In-and-Out pattern, would look very well, but you would have to use the same colours for both, of course. The carpet could be fastened to the cottage floor with small drawing pins.
