 No. 2. – Work like the border until you reach the  2nd cloverleaf; then make this like 1st, and continue as directed with this change, that the cloverleaves are alike throughout.  Edge with the crocheted chain on the inner edge, on the outer edge making a longer chain at each side of corner; the chains should extend from picot to picot without drawing, and of even tension.

Pgs 37-38 

No. 3 (illustrated on page 38). – Medallions matching borders are very attractively used as inserts with them.  A hexagonal medallion has first a cloverleaf, made like 1st cloverleaf of border; chain of 10 double knots; a small ring, as in border, joining by 1st picot to last picot of 3rd ring of cloverleaf; a 2nd small ring, opposite; *chain of 10 double knots; a cloverleaf, as before, joining 1st ring by 1st picot to last picot of 1st small ring, and by middle picot to middle picot of 3rd ring of preceding cloverleaf (this picot should be slightly longer than usual, so that the medallion will lie perfectly smooth when completed); chain of 10 double knots; a small ring, to complete the pair, joining to a 2nd small ring of preceding pair.  *Continue until you have 6 cloverleaves, joining last also to 1st, last small ring in center to 1st, and last chain at base of 1st cloverleaf.
