Use a No. 6 hook with No. 5 cotton; or a No. 5 hook with No. 3 cotton. For a table cloth, either all-over lace, or a combination of medallions set into linen, with edge as shown, use "Silkine" Crochet Cotton in either sizes No. 10, 20, or 30, with a No. 10 steel crochet hook.

Repeat from * to * for the remaining 2 points. Now j to 6th row up right-hand side of 1st point, ch 8, turn, 1 sl st across in 4th row up side of last point, ch 1, turn, and cover 8-ch with (3 sc, p) 3 times and 3 sc. Fasten off. 4th row: Join to tip of 1st point of last row, * ch 6, 1 d tr between 8th and 9th rows down left side of same point, ch 4, 1 d tr between next 2 p, ch 3, 1 d tr between next 2 p, ch 4, 1 tr between next 2 p, ch 4, 1 d tr between next 2 p, ch 3, 1 d tr between next 2 p, ch 4, 1 d tr between 4th and 5th rows up side of next point, ch 6, 1 sc in tip of same point, ch 5, 1 d tr down left side of same point opposite d tr on other side, ch 5, 1 tr tr in same point halfway to junction with p-loop, (ch 5, 1 d tr between next 2 p) twice, ch 5, 1 sc in tip of next point, (ch 5, 1 d tr between next 2 p) twice, ch 5, 1 tr tr 1-3 of the way up next point, ch 5, 1 d tr 1-2 of the remaining distance up same point, ch 5, 1 sc in tip of point. Repeat from * once. 5th row: Ch 3, 4 tr in same corner st. Now go over last row with solid tr, making just as many tr over each ch as there are sts in each ch. Make 1 tr in each st between ch and 5 tr in each corner st of rectangle. In this row, work over the ends of threads left from each point, thus covering them up. Join to 3-ch at start, 6th row: Ch 4, sk 1 tr, 5 tr in next st, (ch 1, sk 1, 1 tr in next) 22 times, ch 1, sk 1, 5 tr in next or corner st, (ch 1, sk 1, 1 tr in next) 31 times, ch 1, sk 1, 5 tr in next or corner st.

When enough bls are made for a single row across spread, start j them into a strip, end to end, with rows of forget-me-nots. These forget-me-nots are made in 2 rows, the 1st row being worked from left to right. Ch 9, 1 sl st in 1st st to form a r, (ch 4, 2 sc in r) twice, ch 2. Now, omitting the 5 tr in corner st at left end of 1 end of a bl, 1 sl st in next 2nd tr to right across end, ch 2, 2 sc in r, ch 4, 2 sc in r, * ch 13, remove hook from loop, insert in 5th st of ch from previous r, going through the 2 right-hand loops of st so it won't pull out so large, catch loop and pull through, forming a r, ch 4, 2 sc in r, ch 2, 1 sl st in next 9th tr to right across end of bl, ch 2, 2 sc in r, ch 4, 2 sc in r. Repeat from * once. Then repeat again, fastening to the next 10th tr. Then repeat twice more, fastening each flower to the next 9th tr. This makes 6 forget-me-nots across end of bl, the final one being fastened to the 2nd tr from the 5 tr in right-hand corner st of end of bl. After the j of 6th flower to bl, ch 2, 2 sc in r, (ch 4, 2 sc in r) 3 times, ch 2, 1 sl st in a corresponding tr on a 2nd bl, ch 2, 2 sc in r, ch 4, 2 sc in r, (ch 2, 1 sl st under ch between flowers, ch 2, 2 sc in next r, ch 4, 2 sc in r, ch 2, 1 sl st in next 9th tr of 2nd bl, ch 2, 2 sc in r, ch 4, 2 sc in r) twice, ch 2, 1 sl st under next ch, ch 2, 2 sc in next r, ch 4, 2 sc in r, ch 2, 1 sl st in next 10th tr on 2nd bl, ch 2, 2 sc in r, ch 4, 2 sc in r, (ch 2, 1 sl st under next ch, ch 2, 2 sc in r, ch 4, 2 sc in r, ch 2, 1 sl st in next 9th tr of 2nd bl, ch 2, 2 sc in r, ch 4, 2 sc in r) twice. Fasten off. Connect all the bls across their ends in this way into a long strip. Then work a similar row of forget-me-nots across the ends of this strip as follows: After the 6th flower is j to bl, ch 2, 2 sc in r, (ch 4, 2 sc in r) 5 times, * ch 2, 1 sl st under next ch, ch 2, 2 sc in next r, (ch 4, 2 sc in r) 3 times. Repeat from last * 4 times and fasten off.
Now connect another strip of bls in same way, including the row of forget-me-nots across ends of strip. Then j these 2 strips with a row of forget-me-nots as follows: Ch 9, j in a r, (ch 4, 2 sc in r) twice, ch 2, 1 sl st in end petal of row of forget-me-nots across left-hand end of 1st strip of bls, ch 2, 2 sc in r, ch 2, turn all work wrong-side-up and make a tr in the 3rd tr of 5 tr at corner of bl, ch 2, turn work right-side-up again, 2 sc in r, * ch 13 and form a r in 5th st, ch 4, 2 sc in r, ch 2, 1 sl st in next 4th tr along side of bl to right, ch 2, 2 sc in r, ch 4, 2 sc in r. (Now make another flower and fasten it to the next 9th tr) 3 times, make another flower and fasten to next 10th tr, (make another flower and j to next 9th tr) 3 times. Now make another r, 1 sc in r, ch 2, turn work wrong-side-up and make a tr in corner of bl, ch 2, turn, 2 sc in r, ch 2, 1 sl st in end petal of flower between bls, ch 2, 2 sc in r, ch 2, turn work over and make a tr in corner of next bl, ch 2, turn, 2 sc in r. Repeat from * across strip. When last forget-me-not in row has been j to flower row across end of strip, ch 2, 2 sc in r, (ch 4, 2 sc in r) 3 times, ch 2, 1 sl st in the end petal of forget-me-not row across end of 2nd strip, ch 2, 2 sc in r, ch 2, turn work over and make a tr in corner of 1st bl of this 2nd strip, ch 2, turn, 2 sc in r, ch 2, 1 sl st under ch between flowers, ch 2, 2 sc in next r, ch 4, 2 sc in r, ch 2, 1 sl st in next 4th tr of same bl, ch 2, 2 sc in r, ch 4, 2 sc in r. Continue: * The next 3 flowers will each be j to the next 9th tr; the next to the next 10th tr; the next 3 each to the next 9th tr; then for the next flower, ch 2, turn, 1 tr in corner of bl, ch 2, turn, 2 sc in r, ch 2, 1 sl st in end flower between bls, ch 2, 2 sc in r, ch 2, turn, 1 tr in corner of next bl, ch 2, turn, 2 sc in r, ch 2, 1 sl st under next ch, ch 2, 2 sc in next r. Repeat from * across spread. Fasten off. Continue to make and j the strips of bls until enough are finished for required length of spread. Then across each end of spread work a row of forget-me-nots.
Edge: Join to 2nd petal of forget-me-not at 1 corner of spread, * ch 7, 1 sc in 5th st from hook for a 5-ch p, ch 8, a 5-ch p, ch 3, sk 1 petal of same flower, 1 sc in next petal, (ch 7, p, ch 8, p, ch 3, 1 sc in 2nd or middle petal of next flower) repeated to next corner. Repeat from * around and fasten off. 2nd row: Join to center of 1st p-loop of last row, ch 3 in place of a tr, * ch 7, p, ch 8, p, ch 3, 1 tr in same st, (ch 7, p, ch 8, p, ch 3, 1 sc in next p-loop) repeated to next corner. Fasten corner loop with a tr and repeat from * around. Fasten off. 3rd row: Repeat last row. 4th row: Join to corner loop of last row, * ch 7, p, ch 8, a 20-loop clones knot over ch: When the 20 loops for knot are over hook, force hook through them as far as possible to make loops larger, then thread over and pull through the 20 loops, ch 1, pulled tightly, then 1 sc around 8-ch at base of knot, ch 7, p, ch 3, 1 sc in same corner loop, (ch 7, p, ch 8, a knot, ch 7, p, ch 3, 1 sc in next loop) repeated to corner. Repeat from * around and fasten off.
