e to the end, which will be 1 knitted stitch.
Back row; purl the 1st stitch, taking 2 stitches together as if you were
going to decrease, but pick up again the stitch nearest to the right
hand and purl it: repeat this to the last stitch, which is to be purled.
Repeat these 2 rows until you think it long enough, then begin double
knitting, decrease to 18 stitches again, knit about 2 inches and finish
in a point.

These suspenders are firmer and less elastic than those given in the
first series.

_Parisian Net Knitting._

This pattern is very pretty for a foot-muff, blanket, or sofa
guard.

Take German lambsaEuro(TM)-wool of two colors that contrast well; pink and
white form a pretty mixture.

Cast on an even number of stitches, and with the white wool knit several
rows before beginning the pattern. 1st row; fasten on the pink wool
forward, knit the first stitch with the white wool, pass the pink round
the needle bringing it forward again, and purl the next stitch with it;

white wool and slip the pink loops. 4th row; purl the 1st stitch with
the white wool, turn the pink wool (which is now behind) round the
needle, and with it knit the pink loop and following white stitch taken
together, slip the stitch on to the left hand needle and purl it with
the white wool, purl 1 stitch with the white, pass the pink wool round
the needle, and knit with it the pink loop and following stitch taken
together, slip it on to the other needle and purl it with the white
wool, repeat the same to the end. 5th row; knit all the white stitches

stitches with the white wool and slip the pink. 7th row; knit 1 stitch
