Vintage Embroidery Pattern - Butterfly for Handkerchief Corner

Vintage Embroidery Pattern Materials: French lawn or cambric; fine black silk.

This butterfly is worked in the finest black silk procurable, in order more closely to imitate etching.

It is worked in point Russe and scallop stitch; the dark shaded scallops are worked in button-hole scallop stitch, the stitches being taken very closely together, but not raised by the usual method of placing chain stitches beneath the button-hole stitches.

The outlines and flowers are worked in point Russe, the dot in knotted stitch (see No. 73, Instructions.)

The initials, of this vintage embroidery pattern, are embroidered in raised slanting overcast stitch, and should be worked with great regularity.
