Directions for

making

Arrange the thread in the shape of a ring

and make two stitches, going from left to
right then make two stitches going from right
to left and so on alternately until you have
about one and one-half inches. This forms a
narrow braid. Then turn the corner, making
two stitches from left to right, then in these
same two stitches go back from right to left
going back and forth five times altogether.
Then going from left to right make a large
loop in which you make three stitches going
from right to left. The second large loop is
made by going from left to right. In this loop
you make one stitch by going from right to left.
Then make two small loops putting one stitch
