there are 31 stitches and 15 ribs. Then, for the open part, 2 ch.,
turn, work 3 d.c. in the first stitch, X miss 2, 3 d.c. in next, X 10
times.

2nd row of open work: Turn, X 5 ch., d.c. under the chain between the
first and second set of 3 d.c. X repeat to the end of the row; 5 ch.,
s.c. at the end.

3rd: Turn, X 3 ch., s.c. under loop, X repeat to the end.

4th: 2 ch., turn d.c. in every stitch to the end.

5th: 1 ch., turn, s.c. to the end.

For the side pieces _(c)_ work in exactly the same manner, only
beginning by working thus: 2 ch., turn, 2 s.c. in the first of these,
1 ch., turn, _2 s.c. in the first of the two and 1 in the second_.
This is just the reverse of the other, the increase continuing to be
made at that edge where the first increases. Of course the last row
will end at the point of one piece, and the short side of the other.

_(d)_ 2 ch., work 3 s.c. in the first of these, 1 ch., turn, 2 s.c. in
the first, 3 in the next, 2 in the last. Turn, 1 ch.; work this and
all the following rows until you have 61 stitches in this manner. 2
s.c. in the first and last stitches, 3 in one in the centre, and 1 in
one in every other (increasing 4 stitches in every row). The five open
work rows to be done as in _a_.

_(e)_ Work these pieces like _a_, until 10 ribs are done; then turn
and s.c. up to the three centre stitches, _slip_ on the first of the
