nds_--repeat the first.
Another Pair of Muffatees.
Three-thread fleecy, or Zephyr wool.--No. 13 needles.
Cast on thirty-six stitches.
Knit twenty plain stitches, and sixteen in double knitting.
When they are sufficiently large, knit or sew them up. The double
knitting comes over the hand, the plain knitting setting tight to the
wrist.
Knitted Cuffs, Shell Pattern.
These may be made either with silk, cotton, or fine wool.--Needles No.
22.
Cast thirty stitches on each of two needles, and forty on a third;--knit
one plain round.
_Second round_--pearl one; pass the silk back, knit one; pearl one;
bring the silk forward, knit one, by which you make a loop
stitch;--repeat this five times, which, with the loop stitch, will make
thirteen from the last pearled stitch. Commence the pattern again, as at
beginning of round.
_Third round_--pearl one; knit one; pearl one; slip one; knit one, pass
the slip-stitch over it; knit nine; knit two together.--Repeat to the
end of the round.
_Fourth round_--same as third, except that there will be only seven
plain stitches to knit.
_Fifth round_--same as third, with only five plain stitches.
There will now be the same number of stitches on the needles as at the
commencement, viz.--seven for the shell part of the pattern, and three
for the division.
Knit one plain round, except on the three division stitches, which are
to be knitted as before.
Commence again as at second round. When the cuffs are of sufficient
length, knit a plain round to correspond with the beginning.
The prettiest way of knitting these cuffs will be to work the first
pattern in cerise;--the next five in white; the next five, alternately
in cerise and white; then five in white; and finish with one in cerise.
Double Knitted Cuffs.
These cuffs are prettiest in single German wool; two colours are
required,--say claret and white. They will take sixteen skeins of white
wool and eight of claret--No. 13 needles.
Cast on forty-six stitches in claret,--pearl four rows. Pearl one row
white; in the next--bring the wool forward, knit two together:--repeat
these two rows of white, twice,--making altogether six rows. The four
rows of claret in pearl knitting, and the six rows of white, are now to
be repeated, alternately, until six stripes of each are worked. Then,--
Pick up seventy stitches in claret, on the right side, at one of the
narrow ends, and pearl one row. Re
