line bc. It is brought up again on this line, to the right, 
close to the last stitch, and carried down on the line ac 
outside the stitches from a to c. This gives the required 
two stitches side by side on the left. 
  (iv) Two stitches are made on the right side. The 
needle is brought up on the other side of the triangle 
on the line ab, outside the stitches from a to b. In carry- 
ing this thread down to the right point, c, it must go 
under the last (the fourth) thread between a and b. The 
needle is slipped under this stitch and 
 
 
tne tnreaa carried down to tnle line cb 
near c. It is brought up again on this 
line, to the left, close to this last stitch, 
and carried down on the line ab outside 
the stitches from a to b. This gives 
the required two stitches side by side 
on the rikht. 
 
 
   (v) The needle is brought up on the Arrowhead formed by 
line ac and the work continues as al-      usimg one stitch at 
                                           a time on each side 
ready described. This method is not 
difficult if the directions are followed accurately. It gives 
a series of parallel lines on the wrong side across the tri- 
angle between lines ab and ac. 
  One stitch at a time is made on each side. 
  (i) The needle is brought up at the left point, b, and 
carried down at the upper point, a. It is brought up 
again at point c and carried down near point a, outside 
the stitch from a to b. 
  (ii) The needle is brought up at point b, to the left, on 
the line bc and carried down near point a on the line ac. It 
is brought out again near point c on the line cb and carried 
down near point a on the line bc outside the stitch from 
b to a. 
  This method is somewhat simpler than the other de- 
scribed, but the wrong side does not have as neat an ap- 
pearance. 
  (c) Several variations may be made: The triangle may 
be drawn without the stem. It is filled in in the same 
manner. A diamond-shaped stay may be made by placing
