On the "Needlecrafter's Own Page" of a 1924 issue of Needlecraft Magazine (month unknown), this pattern

was offered as a suggestion for a two to three year old child. Although size 30 thread was used, smaller or larger thread size

would affect the yoke accordingly. This yoke features the tatted mignonette stitch prominently.

The neck, sleeves and bodice of the yoke are tatted with a line of opposing rings, no chains. Curling chains

with rings on both sides outline the yoke shape twice. These sections are separated by three sections of tatted mignonette.

Close to the neck the mignonette has two row. Between the two insertions there are three rows of mignonette. Above the

bodice line, there are again two lines of mignonette but the sleeves have seven row. Adding more rows of mignonette is also a

method to add width or length to the yoke.
