You will observe that the one given as illustration is made
up of small forms many times repeated, and this is the case with
all patterns used for this purpose. The easiest way to outline it
regularly is to do a square of eight holes at a time, marking the
places to be cut, and leaving the uncut places white. When all is
marked, place on a smooth board and cut, following the markings
exactly with your knife. The work cannot be hurried: it must be done
slowly and very carefully if you hope to succeed.

And now we will turn out the more difficult things from the bottom of
the basket, and you big, clever boys and girls who can do what you
like with your fingers and knives and needles and paint-brushes, can
take your pick from them.

how to do so. First, you must take those generous friends, the woods,
into your counsel.
