  (THIS IS EXTREMELY HANDSOME.) Pins, No. 5. 3 lbs. and 3 ozs. 12-thread fleecy wool. You must have a third pin pointed at both ends. This costs 25s. Cast on 20, and knit 6 plain rows. Seventh row—knit 4, pearl 4, turn round, and knit and pearl these 4 alternately until 11 rows are done. An easy way of counting is to look at the side of the small strip, where there ought to be 7 large chains. When 11 rows are done you slip Pearl 4 stitches on the right-hand pin off the 2nd pin on the left, leaving the 3rd pointed pin hanging down over the right side of the knitting; then pearl the 4 stitches on the above-mentioned 3rd pin; pearl 4, knit 4. Eighth row—plain knitting. Ninth row—knit 4, pearl 12, knit 4. Tenth row—knit 8, turn round, and pearl and knit these 4 Eleventh row—knit 4, pearl 12, knit 4. Twelfth row—plain knitting. Repeat from the 7th row until one yard and a half are done; knit 6 plain rows and cast off. You must knit 5 stripes, three scarlet and two white, and join with Berlin or Scotch fingering. Put a fringe, which must be crocheted on. Take about 24 inches of wool, double it, insert the crochet-needle in a stitch of the couvre-pied and pull the ends of the wool through the loop, and tighten gently with the fingers. |
