pearl knitting.

Repeat from the second row.

When a pattern, in one or more colours, is to be introduced, break off
the ground colour, and fasten on the colour next to be used, in the
following manner.--Having made a slip knot in the end of the wool, pass
it on the needle in the left hand: twist the end of the coloured wool
and that of the ground, together,--knit, in plain knitting, the
stitches required for the pattern, then fasten off, by making a loop,
and commence again with the ground colour,--fastening on again as above.
Any number of colours may thus be introduced, to form flowers or other
patterns, which, however, are always to be done in plain knitting.

A Shetland Knitted Scarf.

Commence with the pattern for the border, by casting on one hundred
stitches for the width of the scarf.--No. 7 needles, and four-thread
embroidery, or _Lady Betty's_ wool.

_First row_--knit two stitches together, four times; bring the wool
forward, knit one, eight times; knit two stitches together, four times;
pearl one.--Repeat to the end of the row.

_Second row_--pearl knitting.

_Third row_--plain knitting.

_Fourth row_--pearl knitting.

Repeat from the first row, until the pattern be about fourteen inches
deep. Commence the centre as follows:--working one row of pearl
knitting, before the pattern commences.

_First row_--bring the wool forward, slip one; knit one, pass the slip
stitch over it; knit one; pearl one.--Repeat to the end of the row.

_Second and following rows_--repeat the first,--every row being alike.

If the wool be split, it exactly imitates the Shetland wool. In
splitting, the wool will frequently break; but this is not important, as
by laying the ends contrariwise, and twisting them together, a few
stitches may be so knit, that the joins are not perceptible.

Both ends of the scarf are to be made alike, by reversing the knitting
of the border. They may be finished with a tied, knitted, or netted
fringe, of the same wool, without splitting, or of fine German wool.

Shetland Pattern for a Shawl.

This should be worked in _Lady Betty's_ wool, or four-thread embroidery
fleecy, with No. 6 or 8 needles.

Cast on any number of stitches that may be divided by six.

_First row_--bring the wool forward, knit one; bring the wool forward,
knit one;--slip one; knit two together, pass the slip-stitch over them;
knit one.

_Second row_--pearl knitting.

_Third row_--bring the wool fo
