Finish with sl. st. Turn 5 sl. st. up to point. Turn.

Twelfth Row.—Ch. 7. (**) 3 d. tr. tr. c. (To make d. tr. tr. c. wind thread 4 times over hook, catch into first s. c. of loop. Pull thread through 2 loops at a time until 2 loops are left on the needle. Wind thread 4 times around needle, catch into next s. c. Work off as before until 3 loops are left on the needle. Wind again 4 times around the needle, and work off all the loops, two at a time.) Ch. 6, 3 d. tr. c. (wind thread 3 times around the needle and proceed in the same way as before).
