; bring the silk forward and knit 2 stitches
taken together, knit 2 stitches, bring the silk forward and knit 2 taken
together. 2nd row; knit 2 stitches, bring the silk forward and knit 2
taken together, knit 2 stitches.
A repetition of these 2 rows forms the pattern.
_Scarf._
Two needles No. 7.
Cast on 80 stitches; pass the wool forward, slip a stitch, knit a
stitch, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted one, knit 1 stitch, rib
1 stitch, continue this to the end of the row; every row is the same.
This scarf takes about 2-1/2 ounces of German lambsaEuro(TM)-wool; it requires a
wide fringe at the end and is very pretty if knitted with shaded ends,
which are done by using successively 2 skeins of 5 or 6 shades of the
desired color, beginning with the darkest.
_Netted Scarf._
On a foundation of 54 stitches.
Net successively 6 rows of the following colors; waterloo blue, scarlet,
amber, blue, yellow, scarlet, dark blue, amber, scarlet, light blue,
amber, and scarlet.
_Porcupine Boa._
Four needles No. 15, and fine German lambsaEuro(TM)-wool are required.
Cast 36 stitches on each of 3 needles, knit 4 stitches, bring the wool
forward, knit a stitch--this is the centre stitch of the pattern--bring
the wool forward, knit 4 stitches, slip a stitch taking it under, knit 2
taken together, pull the slipped stitch over it, then begin knitting the
4 stitches, &c. It is better at the end of each needle to knit 1 stitch
off the next one, as it prepares for the next round; continue this for
6 rounds, increasing _before_ and _after_ every centre stitch, and
knitting to within 1 of where you decreased, which stitch slip, knit the
next 2 together, and pull the slipped stitch over it. Knit 3 plain
rounds. Knit to within 1 stitch of the centre stitch, slip it; knit 2
together, these 6 rounds increase each side of the stitch with which you
decreased in the last pattern, which makes that the centre stitch this
time.
Your number should always be the same as you began with: it is easy to
count the number of rounds you have done, at the place where you
decrease.
This boa is knitted with the wrong side outwards. When finished, fill it
with cotton wool and put strings to it.
_Leggings._
Two ivory needles and rather fine lambsaEuro(TM)-wool are required.
Cast on 44 stitches, knit 7 rows, then knit 2 inches, knitting and
ribbing 2 stitches alternately; knit 8 rows, continue plain knit
