rows. To form the corners, knit together 4 times 2 stitches after
every 7 stitches in the first of these two rounds, in the second round
knit together 2 stitches after every 6 stitches; these decreasings and
those of the other rounds must always take place, at the same places as
in the preceding round. Then take the violet wool, and knit 7 rows; in
the first of these knit 4 times 2 stitches together after intervals of 5
stitches; no decreasings take place in the 2nd, 4th, and 6th rows; in
the 3rd row knit together 4 times 3 stitches as 1 stitch, and in the 5th
and 7th rows 4 times 2 stitches as 1 stitch. After the 7th round, the
remaining stitches are cast off together as 1 stitch. Then fasten the
wool and cut it off. Lastly, sew the rosettes and squares together from
No. 320 for a cover, and edge it round the border with a fringe of grey
wool.

321.--_Knitted Border._

Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s No. 10 or No. 50 knitting
cotton.

If knitted with thick cotton, this border will be suitable for trimming
a quilt or berceaunette cover; if, on the contrary, fine cotton is used,
the pattern will form a very pretty collar for a little boy or girl.

To make a collar, begin by a chain of 220 stitches, and work 6 rows
backwards and forwards alternately, knitting 4 stitches and purling 2.

In the 2nd, 4th, and 6th rows the 4 stitches are purled, and the 2 are
knitted.

7th row: * Purl 2, make 1, knit 2, purl 2. Repeat from *.

8th row: Alternately purl 5, knit 2. All the rows with _even_ numbers
are knitted like this, except that the number of the knitted stitches
are increased by 2 in each of them. We will not, therefore, henceforth
mention these rows.

9th row: * Knit 2, make 1, knit 1, make 1, knit 2, purl 2. Repeat from
*.

11th row: * Knit 2, make 1, knit 3, make 1, knit 2, purl 2. Repeat from
*.

13th row: * Knit 2, make 1, knit 5, make 1, knit 2, purl 2. Repeat from
*. The pattern is continued in the same manner. The small gores formed
between the ribs are increased by 2 stitches in every second row. Each
of these gores has 13 stitches in the 21st row, which is the last. Cast
off all the stitches after this row.

Take a crochet needle, and with the same cotton as that used for the
knitting work 1 stitch of double crochet in every stitch of the
selvedge, then the 2 following rows for the edging. 1st row: Alternatel
