10th: X 2 open, 3 close, 3 open, * 26 times.

11th: Open square crochet.

12th: D.c.

EDGING.--One pattern takes up the space of a pattern of the band,
consequently there are 26 in the round. Each is finished before
proceeding to the next. The band and edging may be done entirely
without breaking off the thread, therefore continue for the latter,
after closing the former. 12 s.c., 12 ch., close it into a round,
under which work 23 s.c.; 9 s.c. on the edge of the band; turn the
work on the wrong side,--7 ch., miss 5 of the 23 on the round, s.c.
under the 6th, * 5 ch, miss 3, s.c. under 4th, * 3 times; 7 ch., s.c.
under 4th of the 12 s.c. (leaving a space of 8 to the loop). Turn on
the right side and work under each loop of 7, 1 s.c., 2 d.c. 4 t.c.,
2 d.c., 2 s.c., and under the other loops, 2 s.c., 4 d.c., 2 s.c.: 2
s.c. more on the band complete one pattern. Fasten to the round with a
row of s.c., taking a stitch of each.

NOTE.--It is to be remembered that each round begins with a d.c. of 3
ch., and 3 ch., after which the pattern between the * * is done 7
times throughout, and the eighth time the last d.c. and 3 ch. are
omitted, being worked at the commencement of the round. To write this
at the end of every round would make the directions tediously long,
and the worker can find no difficulty if observing this note.
