for the foundation, the first space being made by making a treble crochet (t) (thread over once) in the ninth stitch from hook. A block (bl) is made by t in t, 2 t in space, and a space (sp) is made by t in t, 2 ch, t in t. Where more than one bl appears, the number of t should equal three times the number of spaces, plus 1 t. Always make 5 ch at the end of each row to turn. Thus our first row will read: 2 sps. [ bl, 1 sp, 1 bl, 1 sp, 1 bl, 4 sps, 1 bl, 5 sps, 3 bis, 1 sp, 3 bls, 3 sps. 1 bl, 3 sps, 2 bis, 4 sps, 1 bl, 1 sp. 1 bl, 1 sp, 1 bl, 2 sps. 2d row— 2 sps, r bl, 1 sp, 1 bl, 1 sp, 1 bl, 3 sps, 4 bis, 1 sp, 1 bl, 2 sps, 2 bis, 7 sps, 2 bis, 4 sps, 1 bl, 3 sps, 1 bl, 1 sp, 1 bl, 1 sp, 1 bl, 2 sps. Continue, following the block pattern.
EDGE.—Chain 33. 1st row— (Worked from outside toward inside edge.) Treble in 9th st from hook (counting the st on hook) 8 more sp. 2d row—9 sp, ch n, turn. _3rd row—d in 9th it from hook, 10 sp. 4th row—9 sp, 1 bl, 1 sp, ch 11. turn. 5th row—(1 in 9th st from hook, 2 sp, 3 bls, 7 sp. 6th row—5 sp, 4 bis, 4 sp, ch 11. turn. 7th row—d in 9th, 1 sp, 1 bl, 4 sp, 5 bl, 3 sp. 8th row—1 sp, 12 bis, 2 sp. ijth row—2 sp, 1 hi, 4 sp, 5 bl, 3 sp. roth row—5 sp, 4 bl, 4 sp. 11th row—3 sp, 3 bl, 7 sp. I2th row—9 sp, 1 bl, 1 sp. 13th row—11 sp. 14th row—9 sp. 15th row—9 sp. For next point begin again with 2d row of directions.
To work edge around points, make 2 d (see page 44) in 1st sp, picot (p) (ch 4, catch under 2 threads of last d), 2 more d in same sp, 1 d in next t, 2 d in next sp, * 2 d in next sp, 1 d in next d, (2 d, p, 2 d, p, 2 d) in next sp, 1 d in next t, 2 d in next sp; repeat from * once, and continue filling sp with d in same way. making 2 p on each corner, 1 p in centre of middle sp of the 3 at point of scallop, and also in centre of 3 sp between 2 scallops.
