lain
rows, then 2 rows of white.

Next row:--Make a stitch, seam 2 together, make a stitch,
seam 2 together, and so on; knit 1 plain row of white, then take
up the 28 stitches at the back, and the stitches on each side, knit
2 plain rows of coloured all round, and cast off the stitches.
Then run a ribbon, of the same colour as the wool, through the
holes of the border round the back and front of the cap.

For a Muff.

Cast on 80 stitches with the lightest shade, and knit 3 plain
rows: in the fourth row pass the wool round the pin, seam 2
stitches together, pass the wool round the pin, seam 2 together,
and so on to the end of the row; join the next lightest shade, and
knit 3 plain rows. In the fourth row, seam 2 stitches together,
pass the wool round the pin, seam 2 together, and so on to the end
of the row. Continue in this manner, knitting 3 plain rows, and
an open row of each shade, till the darkest; then again to the
lightest: this forms 1 stripe, 4 of which are required. The last
stripe should finish with the lightest shade, to correspond with
the beginning. The shading of each stripe must be reversed; thus,
first begin with the lightest shade and knit to the darkest, then
knit from the darkest to the lightest, and then again to the darkest,
and so on. This should be done in double German wool, in five
shades of sable or chinchilla colours, and satin put underneath the
knitting of the same colour.

A Swiss Pattern for the Top of a Mitten or Muffatee.

Cast on 26 stitches on 3 needles. Begin by seaming the first
stitch, knit the second, and slip it on the left-hand needle, bring
the 1 from behind over, which decreases a stitch; knit the 3 next
stitches plain, pass the thread in front of each of the 2 next
stitches and knit them, which increases and makes the holes;
then knit 3 more plain, and decrease again as above; then seam a
stitch; and so on all round: after each round done in this way,
knit a plain round.
