it 2
stitches, bring the thread forward, and knit 8 stitches bringing the
thread forward between each, knit 1 stitch, knit 2 taken together,
repeat this for the round; then begin again at the 2nd round. When the
cuff is long enough cast off and sew a bit of lace at each edge.
_Netted Cuffs._
Four skeins of colored lambsaEuro(TM)-wool and 6 of white; a steel pin No.
14, a flat wooden mesh 1/2 an inch wide, and a foundation of 120
stitches, are required.
Net 2 rows of colored lambsaEuro(TM)-wool with the steel pin; 1 row with white
lambsaEuro(TM)-wool and the large mesh; then 1 row with the colored, netting 2
white stitches in one, which reduces the stitches to half the number;
net another row of colored wool, 1 of white, 2 of colored, &c., until
there are 7 rows of white, besides the first, with 2 rows of colored
between each. Net 2 rows of colored, 1 of white, netting 2 stitches in
every colored one, and finish with 2 rows of colored.
Sew it up, double it and run in a ribbon. This forms a very warm and
pretty cuff to wear over the sleeve. The white rows are netted on the
wide mesh, the colored on the small mesh.
_Warm Cuffs._
Two needles are required.
Cast on any number of stitches according to the size of your needles;
knit 12 rows plain; knit 1 row putting the wool twice round the needle;
rib a row, putting the wool twice round the needle; repeat the last 2
rows until you have about a quarter of a yard, and finish by knitting 12
rows as at first.
Sew it up and fold the top and bottom together.
_Muffatees._
Four needles No. 17, and fine German lambsaEuro(TM)-wool are required.
Cast 24 stitches on each of 3 needles, knit round, knitting and ribbing
3 alternate stitches varying the color at pleasure: when the muffatee is
about six inches long, begin double knitting[24-*] on coarser needles;
when you have knitted about 2 inches, knit 6 plain rows and cast off;
sew up the part that is in double knitting.
[24-*] Double knitting. Begin with the wool forward, slip a stitch,
pass the wool back, knit a stitch, continue to repeat these 2
stitches. Double knitting cannot be done round.
_Muffatees._
Two middling sized ivory needles and rather fine wool, the color
may be varied at pleasure.
Cast on 40 stitches, knit 4 rows; rib 1 row; continue to repeat these
rows, reckoning the cast on row as one; when the muffatee is long
enough cast off
