Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Boar's Head
crochet cotton No. 18; tatting-pin No. 3.
This strip of insertion is worked with crochet cotton,
and consists of a row of circles, two of
which are always joined together, and edged on either side with chain stitches.
Work first * 2 double, 4 purl divided by 1 double, 1 double, 1 long purl about
one-fifth of an inch long, 10 double divided by 1 purl, 1 long purl, 4 times
alternately 1 double, 1 purl, then 2 double; join the stitches into a circle;
work close to this a second circle, and knot the end of the cotton together
with the cotton with which the first circle has been begun; repeat from *, but
henceforward in the first of the two circles fasten the cotton on to the middle
purl of the preceding circle, instead of working the middle purl. When the
strip of insertion is sufficiently long, edge it on either side with a row of
chain stitches, by working 1 double in 1 long purl and 5 chain between.
