rows, and cast off 3 at each end, till
you have cast off 18 at each end, knit 2 plain rows, and cast off
the remainder of the stitches; then sew the shoulders very loosely,
or it will contract them. The 24 stitches of white that were let
off to another pin must be knit on each side the length of the
front, and neatly sewed to it.

For the sleeves:--Cast on 66 stitches, and knit 78 rows: this
is for the coloured part, and in sewing it together at the elbow, it
must be rather tightened; and for the cuff, which is done in white,
cast on 18 stitches and knit 66 rows, and sew it very nicely to the
coloured part.

For the collar:--Cast on 120 stitches with white, knit 8 rows.

Next row:--Knit to within 12 stitches of the end, turn back,
and knit to within 12 of the other end.

Next row:--Leave 6 more stitches at each end.

Next row:--Leave 24 stitches at each end, then 33, 39, 45, and
48 stitches, turning back between each as before, knit to the end
of the row with white, join the coloured wool, knit 8 rows.

Next row:--Leave 12 stitches at the end, turn back, and leave
the same number at the other end.

Next row:--Leave 18, then 24, 30, 36, and 42, at each end,
then 2 rows of coloured, knitting the whole number of stitches,
then cast off, and sew it to the neck.

A cord of tassels for the neck and waist, made of the white
and coloured wool, to be added, and little tufts of black wool
sewed into the white border at equal distances, completes this
elegant pelisse.
