The fifth row, like the third, consists of four buttonhole stitches on each of the loops above. Diamond Stitch in Brussels Net. The diamond arrangement of Brussels net stitches shown in Fig. 112 is very showy and ef- fective for filling in large spaces. Groups of six rather closely set buttonhole stitches are worked at regular intervals with a space between the groups equal to the width of one of them, and with the loop kept long. The second row consists of a group o f three buttonhole stitches worked into the three middle loops of each group above and three buttonhole stitches worked on each long loop. The third row is composed of groups of six stitches worked under each three of the preceding row, two stitches to the left of the first stitch above, one on each loop and two to the right of the last or third stitch. The loops between the groups are left long and the next row, like the second, consists of three stitches in each long loop and three below the groups of six. Spanish and Brussels Net. Figure 113 is a simple combination of Spanish and Brussels net stitches. As the Spanish net stitch is always worked more Fig. 113. Spanish and Brussels Net. 112. Diamond Stitch in Bbdssels Net. easily from left to right the work is begun at the left and a single row of the Spanish net stitches (Fig. 58), Tôrked across the space. The second row consists of a single Brus- sels net stitch (Fig. 38), worked in the loop between eadh of the Spanish net stitches above. These rows of Spanish and Brussels net are worked alternately until the space is filled. Ringed Raleigh Bars. This is one of the richest and most beautiful o f the lace stitches and will greatly add to the beauty of any piece of lace in which it is used ; see Fig. 114. The rings may be the fine Fig. 114. Ringed Raleigh Baes. Flemish machine-made variety or they may be made by the worker. When this is preferred the foundation of each- ring is prepared by winding the thread a sufficient number of times around a 43 ring gauge (Fig. 1) or other suitable cylindrical implement. These windings are held together by overcasting them with the working thread, and the rings, not yet buttonholed, are basted into position on the pattern. They may be spaced regularly and the bars arranged in a geometrical design as shown in the illustration or they may be placed without regard to design and the bars put in according to necessity—:either ef- fect is good. After the rings have all been se- curely fastened to the pattern by means of a sufficient number of stitches to hold them se- curely the bars are worked. The thread is fastened to the braid at any point, carried across to the nearest ring, and through it, and the bar so made covered closely with buttonhole stitches back to the braid. At any given point in the bar a picot may be p 1 a c e d . This i s made by working three close button -hole stitches be- t w e e n the Fig. 115. Insertion last two on the bar and then continuing the buttonholing, until the bar is completed. Often these bars must be from ring to ring and not
