NOTES:

1.    This is easily the most garish of the items studied so far. Bright red, white, yellow and green do not look good to the modern eye. This may partly be because of fading, darker shades would improve the pattern greatly.

2.    Examination of the existing stitches shows that each stitch was done twice (see B above) i.e. brick stitch. I have graphed the pattern showing one pass per stitch, in the interest of clarity, and because the pattern can be stitched either way.
