5th: 1 stitch into every loop.

6th: Increase 1 stitch in every 2nd loop. There must be 72 stitches in
this round.

7th: Place a pin in every 9th loop, and in this same 9th loop work
with 8-thread violet, 1 stitch; then 9 stitches drab in the next 8
loops, that is, increasing 1 stitch in about the 4th loop; repeat this
all round.

8th: Work 3 stitches violet into the 1 violet stitch; then 9 stitches
drab, working only 8 stitches in the last compartment, to commence
next row.

9th: In the last drab stitch that was not worked into, work 1 violet
stitch; then 4 more violet; then 7 drab, increasing 1 in 4th stitch;
in the last compartment make only 2 drab after the increased stitch,
in order to make 8 violet in next round.

10th: 8 violet, the 1st to come before the 5th violet of last row, and
the last to come after the 5th violet, but increasing 1 violet on the
5th stitch; then 7 drab, increasing 1 in the 4th drab stitch.

11th: All violet, increasing 1 in every 5th stitch.

12th. All violet, but without increasing, unless required.

The diameter of the mat should now measure 6 inches across, but should
it be required larger, another row of cord, or even two, will give the
increased size.
