POINT COLLAR.
MATERIALS..—Brooks' Great Exhibition Prize Goat's-head Crochet Cotton,
No. 48.
This collar is begun by making the open hem work thus: 2 ch., miss 3,
1 s.d.c., 2 ch., miss 1 s.d.c., X 2 ch., miss 1, 1 d.c., X 3 times,
then 2 ch., miss 1, 1 s.t.c., then use the t.c., and finally the long
t.c. for the widest parts, and gradually decreasing to s.c. at the
end. On the inner side of this, do as many half-circles as the
engraving indicates: thus, 1 s.c. 1 s.d.c., 1 d.c., 2 t.c., 1 d.c., 1
s.d.c., 1 s.c.; the roses near the neck may then be worked and joined
to these circles in their places. The oblong flowers are then done,
beginning in the centre, with a chain, worked in s.c., a round of d.c.
on this, and a succession of loops all round. Join these flowers in
their places; then make the roses, working from the engraving which is
the best guide, joining these to each other, and to the oblong
flowers, and finally working the neck with the dotted bars as seen in
the engraving.
