ind off loosely, and
finish with a simple crocheted border of chain-loops or shells caught
down in every other stitch.

To knit the gore in basket-stitch, * purl 6, knit 2; repeat for 3 rows,
then knit 1 row plain; repeat 1st 3 rows, placing the 2 plain stitches
exactly in the center of the 6 purled stitches of previous rows. This
change, made after each plain row, gives the woven- or basket-effect,
and the pattern is a very pretty one for sweaters.

Wristers or Pulse-Warmers

[Illustration: Wristers or Pulse-Warmers]

Wristers or pulse-warmers, are very comfortable on a cold day, and those
described particularly so, as they fill the sleeve and completely
exclude the wind. Using knitting-worsted, or yarn of any desired size or
quality with needles to correspond, such as would be employed for a
man's knitted sock, cast 18 to 22 stitches on each of 3 needles, and
knit 2, purl 2, alternately, for 35 rows or more, according to length
required. Bind off loosely.

With bone crochet-hook work in straight rows from top to bottom, putting
a treble in every other stitch and 2 chain-stitches between trebles;
after the last treble at the edge chain 2, miss a row and return on the
next.

Having completed the rows of spaces, make 2 trebles in 1st space, 3 in
next, and repeat, working back and forth until all the spaces are
filled. A very attractive finish is to work a row of doubles in color,
making a double in each treble. With fine wool, crochet-silk may be
prettily used for this finish.

A fringed wrister may be made on the foundation described by holding a
pencil on lengthwise with the left hand, and with the right sewing over
and over it; make the rows quite close together, cut the wound yarn open
with a pair of sharp scissors, and brush lightly across it, back and
forth, until the cut ends become "mossy" or fluffed up.

Motor-Scarf

Shetland floss. Use wooden needles and cast on 100 stitches with pink.
