knit 2,
rib 2, pass the wool back, slip a stitch, knit 1, pull the slipped
stitch over the knitted one, knit the succeeding stitches plain until
within 7 of the end; then knit 2 taken together, knit 1, rib 2, knit 2;
on the next needle rib 2 and knit 2 alternately; continue to repeat this
round until you have only 12 stitches on the 2nd needle, and you will
find you have made the spout. Knit 3 rounds, ribbing 2 and knitting 2
alternately; take the other color and knit 5 rounds in the same manner,
then 3 rounds with the first color, 5 with the second; 1 round of plain
knitting with the first color, 3 rounds ribbed, 1 plain round making a
stitch between every 2 stitches; 3 rounds ribbed with the second color,
knit a plain round; in the next 2 rounds, bring the wool forward and
knit 2 stitches together. With the first color, knit 1 plain round and
3 ribbed; repeat the last 7 rounds. Now divide the stitches on 4
needles, (there should be 12 on each,) begin plain knitting, decreasing
1 stitch on each needle; continue the same for 5 rounds, decreasing
alternately at the beginning, middle, and end of each needle; knit 3
rounds, decreasing as you think necessary to keep it a good round shape;
divide the stitches on 3 needles, knit a plain round, rib 3 rounds
without decreasing. Begin again to decrease, and continue to do so,
until you have only 3 stitches on each needle; fasten off with a worsted
needle, and sew down the handle.
_Bouquetier._ No. 1.
You will require 5 needles No. 14, and two knots of silver twist.
Cast 6 stitches on each of 3 needles; knit 1 round; in the second round
knit and rib 3 stitches alternately, and continue the same for 44 or 48
rounds. Plain knit 1 round, bring the thread forward, (thus increasing
by a loop stitch), knit 3 stitches; bring the thread forward, knit 3;
and continue the same all round. Knit 2 plain rounds. In the next round
bring the thread forward at the beginning and in the middle of each
needle, thus increasing 6 stitches in the round. Knit 2 rounds plain,
continue to increase in the same manner (6 stitches every 3rd round)
until you have 16 stitches on each needle. Knit 8 stitches, with the 5th
needle rib the same stitches back again, and continue to knit and rib
alternate _rows_, decreasing to a point by taking 2 stitches together in
the centre of 2 rows out of 3. Finish the other 5 leaves in the same
manner.
