Take another rose and join to the L of one of its ovals of the 1st circle; 2 D, L, 2 D draw close. With the reel thread round the little finger; 2 D (L, 2 D 4 times) join to the same shuttle L as last time; 2 D (L, 2 D 4 times) tie to the next shuttle L; 2 D, L, 2 D join to the L of the next oval of the same rose; 2 D tie to the foundation thread before the two joins of the last row, to the point of the leaf; 2 D (L, 2 D twice) tie to the foundation thread after the same two joins; 2 D join to the L of the next oval of the same rose; 2 D, L, 2 D (tie to the next shuttle L; 2 D (L, 2 D 4 times) twice.) Begin an oval; 2 D (L, 2 D twice) join to the L of the next oval of the same rose; 2 D (L, 2 D 5 times) join to the L of another rose; 2 D (L, 2 D twice) draw close. 2 D (L, 2 D 4 times) tie to the same shuttle L as before; 2 D (L, 2 D 4 times) tie to the next shuttle L; * 2 D (L, 2 D 4 times) repeat 6 times.] The last time this is repeated, finish at the asterisk, by tying to the 1st L of the row, and fastening off. All the roses being joined in, the Doyley will be complete.

EDGING No. 1.

1st Row. Unite the two threads, begin an oval with the figured shuttle; 2 R D (L, 2 R D 5 times) draw tight. With the plain shuttle thread round the little finger; 2 D. Begin the 1st plain shuttle oval; 2 D (L, 2 D 3 times) draw tight. With the plain shuttle thread work; 4 D. Begin the 2nd plain shuttle oval; 2 D join to the 3rd L of the 1st oval; 2 D (L, 2 D twice) draw tight. With plain shuttle thread, 2 D.

[Begin a figured shuttle oval; 2 R D (L, 2 R D 5 times) draw tight. With the plain shuttle thread on the little finger 2 D. Begin a plain shuttle oval; 2 D join to the last L of last plain shuttle oval; 2 D (L, 2 D twice) draw tight. With the plain shuttle thread, 4 D. Begin a plain shuttle oval; 2 D join to the 3rd L of last oval; 2 D (L, 2 D twice) draw tight. With the plain shuttle thread, 2 D—repeat twice.] Work another figured shuttle oval. With the figured shuttle thread, on the little finger, 2 R D (L, 2 R D 3 times). Begin a plain shuttle oval; 3 D join to the 3rd L of the last plain shuttle oval; 1 D, L, 3 D draw tight. With the figured shuttle thread (L, 2 R D 4 times).

To continue the pattern repeat what is between the brackets 3 times instead of twice, and finish each pattern as in the 1st.

2nd Row, or Foundation. Begin an oval with the figured shuttle 2 D; join to the centre L of the 1st figured shuttle oval; 2 D join to the centre L of the 2nd figured shuttle oval; 2 D join to the centre L of the 3rd figured shuttle oval; 2 D join to the centre L of the 4th oval; draw up, but not quite tight. Tie to the 4th figured cotton L, leaving rather more than ½ an inch of cotton, and begin the next oval at a similar distance from the tie—repeat until the length worked is finished.

EDGING No. 2.

1st Row. Work a sufficient length of ovals; 3 D (L, 3 D twice) not drawn up quite close, and leaving ½ an inch of cotton, or more, between each.

2nd Row. With the plain shuttle thread round the little finger; L, 2 D, L, 1 D tie to the 1st L of 1st oval; 1 D (L, 2 D twice); L, 1 D tie to the 2nd L of the 1st oval; 1 D, L, 2 D tie to the thread between the ovals. Repeat till all the ovals are finished.

3rd Row. Begin again by tying in the 1st L of last Row. With the plain shuttle thread round the little finger; L, 1 D tie to the next L of the 2nd Row; (1 D, L, 1 D tie to the next L of the 2nd row twice;) 1 D, L, 1 D, tie to the same L; [1 D, L, 1 D tie to the next L of the 2nd Row twice] 1 D, tie to the next L of 2nd Row, and repeat to the end of the strip. Or this row may be worked without loops—if they are objected to.

To make a strong foundation for this edging. Take the plain shuttle, and tie to the foundation
