together.

Knit one turn in brown; two in white; one in brown; two in white; and
one in brown.--The shoe and instep will now be finished.

Pick up the stitches of the shoe, on each side of the piece which forms
the instep. There should now be forty stitches on the needle.

Knit seven turns in white; then, eighteen turns, increasing a stitch at
the beginning and end of every other turn. Knit three plain turns; then
eighteen turns,--decreasing one stitch in every other turn, at the
beginning and end.

Forty stitches will now be found on the needle. Knit and pearl two,
alternately, for five turns. Knit two plain rows. Knit one row in red;
then, cast off loosely.

The shoe is to be sewn up into its shape, and the stocking closed up.

A Carriage Boot.

Two colours,--say blue and claret,--four, or six-thread fleecy,--Needles
No. 6.

Cast seventeen stitches on each of three needles, with claret; pearl six
rounds, knit five rounds.--Then,--

With blue,--knit one round, pearl one round, alternately, for six
rounds.

With claret,--repeat the last six rounds.

Repeat the two last stripes, twice. Then,--

From the first needle,--knit fourteen stitches, with claret; join on the
blue; knit twenty-three, leaving fourteen stitches (claret),
corresponding with the other side, on the third needle; then, turn back
and knit five rows, slipping the first stitch at the commencement of
each row.

Repeat the last stripe, three times; first--with claret, second--with
blue, third--with claret.

In the next three stripes of the alternate colours, knit two together at
the commencement, and end, of every third row. Then,--knit one stripe
(claret), knitting two together at the commencement of each row. Cast
off.--This finishes the front of the boot.

Commence again at the fourteen claret stitches that were left on the
first needle,--knit these, and cast on another thirty-six stitches in
claret; knit six plain rows.--In the next row, knit two together, at the
commencement. Knit nine more rows, knitting two together at the
commencement of every other row.--In the next four rows,--knit two
together at the commencement of each row.--This completes the first half
of the foot.

Knit the fourteen remaining stitches on the third needle, casting on
thirty-six stitches, as before, and finish the other half of the foot in
the same manner.

The two halves of the foot are then to be sewn together, and the foot
sewn to the front
