IN TATTING.

1st [OE]ILLET--Fill the shuttle with the gold silk or twine and commence a loop, work 2 double st.i.tches, then (1 pearl and 2 double 3 times), draw the loop quite close; and for the

2nd [OE]ILLET--Commence a loop half an inch from the last and work 2 double, then join to the last pearl loop, work 2 double, 1 pearl, 2 double, 1 pearl, 2 double, draw close. Join to the Silk left between the [oe]illets, which will keep it firm; and there will now be about a quarter of an inch between the [oe]illets, which is just sufficient to keep the work straight, Repeat the 2nd [oe]illet until there are 21, then leave a quarter of an inch of silk and join to the last pearl, leave another quarter and join to the next pearl, which is the centre one of the [oe]illet. Turn the work and join to the centre pearl loop of each [oe]illet, leaving a quarter of an inch between to make a straight line to correspond with the first side. Fasten off.

With the black or colored silk and crochet needle commence in one of the s.p.a.ces of gold left between the [oe]illets, work 5 chain and 1 plain in the centre pearl loop of the next [oe]illet, 5 chain, 1 plain in the next s.p.a.ce; repeat round both sides of the Band and fasten off.

In the first side the plain st.i.tch must be worked in the joining st.i.tch at the end of the [oe]illet.
