_Diamond Knitting._

For a Quilt Border.

Cast on 57 stitches, 10 on each side are for the border, and are always
plain knitting. Knit the border, knit 1 stitch, bring the cotton
forward, slip 1 stitch, knit 1, and pull the slipped stitch over it,
knit 7, knit 2 taken together, bring the cotton forward, and repeat from
the border: your number of stitches should always be the same. Back row,
knit the border stitches, and rib the rest; _every_ back row is the
same. Knit to where you decreased last, bring the cotton forward, slip 1
stitch, knit 1, and pull the slipped stitch over it, knit 5 stitches,
decrease by taking 2 stitches in 1, bring the cotton forward, knit 3,
repeat the last 12 stitches to the border. Back row. You are to continue
increasing and decreasing in the same manner until you have only 3
stitches between the increases, then decrease at the sides of the
diamond which you have made by increasing, and increase on each side
before and after the decrease. You will now have enough of the pattern
done to see how to proceed.

Observe that when you have only 3 stitches at the top of the diamond you
have been decreasing, and the back row is done, you begin to decrease
the other diamond. Also, that after the 1st diamond is done, your
greatest number of plain stitches between the decrease will be 5.

_Border for a Table Cover._

Cast on 90 stitches. Knit the 1st stitch, bring the thread forward, slip
a stitch, knit 2 taken together, bring the thread forward, slip a
stitch, &c. to the end of the row, where you will find but 1 stitch to
knit after the last slipped stitch. Continue the pattern (observing to
begin every row with one plain knitted stitch) until you have enough in
length, then cast off.

This border in crimson cotton or German lambsaEuro(TM)-wool, is a nice finish to
a dark cloth cover.

_Border and Fringe._

In 2 colors; for a Table cover or Shawl.

Cast on 28 stitches with the first color. Knit 2 stitches with the 2nd
color, knit 2 stitches with the 1st co
