THE WRISTBAND.

IN TATTING.

1st Œillet—Fill the shuttle with the gold silk or twine and commence a loop, work 2 double stitches, then (1 pearl and 2 double 3 times), draw the loop quite close; and for the

2nd Œillet—Commence a loop half an inch from the last and work 2 double, then join to the last pearl loop, work 2 double, 1 pearl, 2 double, 1 pearl, 2 double, draw close. Join to the Silk left between the oeillets, which will keep it firm; and there will now be about a quarter of an inch between the oeillets, which is just sufficient to keep the work straight, Repeat the 2nd oeillet until there are 21, then leave a quarter of an inch of silk and join to the last pearl, leave another quarter and join to the next pearl, which is the centre one of the oeillet. Turn the work and join to the centre pearl loop of each oeillet, leaving a quarter of an inch between to make a straight line to correspond with the first side. Fasten off.

With the black or colored silk and crochet needle commence in one of the spaces of gold left between the oeillets, work 5 chain and 1 plain in the centre pearl loop of the next oeillet, 5 chain, 1 plain in the next space; repeat round both sides of the Band and fasten off. In the first side the plain stitch must be worked in the joining stitch at the end of the oeillet.
