This is the last round. The fringe is then put on thus: wind your cotton (No. 4) twelve times round a card about 2-1/4 inches wide; slip it off, catch up the threads with a crochet-hook, and draw through one of the loops of 4 chain in the last round. When half-way through, pass the other ends through the loop; draw it up tightly, and cut the ends. Repeat this for every loop of 4 ch., and the fringe is complete.

MATERIALS.--Brooks' Great Exhibition Prize Goat's-head Crochet Cotton. Penelope Hook.
Make 2 stripes of this pattern. All the stripes are worked the short way, and forwards and back. This stripe is about 27-1/2 inches in width; it may be worked to any length, but great care must be taken that it is worked as evenly and tightly as the cotton and hook will permit, each l. stitch must measure in length over two-eighths of an inch, and nearly three-eighths.
