This chapter is not translated yet. You are reading the original.

Materials—Brussels net, French working-cotton No. 120, Raworth's sewing-cotton No. 100, and a fine pearl edge.

Work the outline of the pattern and the edge with French cotton in tambour-*stitch, and fill in the spaces with the sewing-cotton in the same stitch, or, if preferred, in darning-stitch; work dots in the places indicated in the design, and, after washing the scarf, sew a pearl edge all round.

A description of head-dress, for which this scarf is intended, will be found in the London and Paris fashions of No. 126 of the Lady's Newspaper.
