With the reel cotton round the little finger (L, 2 D 9 times) tie to the 3rd L of the 2nd 9 of the design; 2 D (L, 2 D 4 times), take a chrysanthemum and join to any L of its 7th circle, not yet joined to; 2 D (L, 2 D 3 times) tie to the 6th L of the 2nd 8 of the design; 2 D (L, 2 D 4 times) join to the next unjoined L of the chrysanthemum, to the right; 2 D (L, 2 D 3 times) tie to the 1st L of the 2nd 8 of the design; 2 D (L, 2 D 8 times). Begin an oval, 8 D join to the 11th L of the 2nd 14 of the design, 8 D draw tight and tie as before. With the reel thread round the little finger (L, 2 D 6 times) attach to the L of the 1st plain oval of the design. Begin an oval, 8 D, L, 8 D draw tight. Attach to the L of the 3rd oval of the 2nd and in succession to the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 1st designs. With the reel thread round the little finger, work 2 D tie with the reel thread, successively, to each of the 6 last Ls, working 2 D after each tie. Begin an oval, 8 D join to the 11th L of the 1st 14 of the last design joined to; 8 D draw tight and tie as before. Tie with the reel thread to the next 4 Ls, and work 2 D between each tie; (L, 2 D 4 times) tie to the 1st L of the 1st 8 of the same design; 2 D (L, 2 D 3 times) join to the 2nd unjoined L of Chrysanthemum to the right of the last join; 2 D (L, 2 D 4 times) tie to the 6th L of the 1st 8 of this design; 2 D (L, 2 D 3 times) join to the next unjoined L of Chrysanthemum to the right of the last join; 2 D (L, 2 D 8 times).
