Child's Gaiter, to cost 1s. 2d.

Previous

Three needles, No. 11 or 12, and 2 oz. brown Berlin wool.

Cast on 60 (for a very small child 54 will do), knit 3, pearl 3, for 24 rows. Now do plain knitting for 12 rows, then decrease at the beginning and end of the row. Continue plain knitting, but you must decrease every five rows. When six decreasings are done go on knitting until 78 rows are done.

Seventy-ninth row—knit 21 stitches, take the next 18 for the instep on a third pin and knit backwards and forwards, decreasing at the beginning and end after the first 2 rows. When 18 rows are done cast off.

Sew up the leg, and take up the rest of the stitches for the heel. Do 10 rows, decreasing at the beginning and end of every row. Cast off.
