Second Bud—Work a bud and calyx as before, not joining it; when finished, work 5 plain, and 3 treble down the centre stem, turn back; work 5 chain, miss 9, and 15 single stitches on the side of the bud. This finishes one pattern of the Collar, and is to be repeated, with the following variation:—

SECOND PATTERN.

80 chain for the long stem, and work the 1st 2d and 3rd leaves the same as in 1st pattern, but after joining the 3d leaf to the 2d leaf, also join the 3d leaf to the 2d bud at the 8 plain, and then join the point of this leaf to the stem of the small leaf; work the 4th leaf, joining the point to the top of the calyx of the 1st bud; then work the 5th leaf, the rose, and the bud, exactly the same as in the First Pattern, and work the same for 8 patterns: but in working the last pattern, to form the corners to correspond with the other side, after working the 13 single down the stem of the 1st bud, work 40 chain, and a leaf the same as the 1st leaf, joining it only to the calyx of the bud; then work 3 leaves as the 3d, 4th, and 5th leaves, and when finished work 8 plain down the centre stem; finish the 8th pattern by working the 3 single down the stem of the small leaf; then 6 plain down the centre stem; then the 2d bud, joining the 9 chain to the stem of the 4th leaf, and after working the 15 single on the side of the bud, work 12 single on the side of the 4th leaf, and turning back, work the band along the remaining chain stitches of the long stem and sides of the buds.
