peat the six rows of white,--finishing
with the four rows of claret, and cast off.

Repeat the same at the other end of the cuff,--observing that the
knitting of the frill is to be on the wrong side.

Sew up the cuffs, and double them, so as to allow the frill, at the one
end, to appear above that at the other.

A Brioche[A].

The _Brioche_ knitting-stitch is simply--bring the wool forward, slip
one; knit two together.

A Brioche is formed of sixteen straight narrow stripes, and sixteen wide
stripes, the latter gradually decreasing in width towards the top or
centre of the cushion. It may be made in three-thread fleecy, or double
German wool, with ivory or wooden pins, No. 8.

Cast on ninety stitches, in black, for the narrow stripe; knit two
turns;--then, three turns in gold colour, and two turns again in black.
This completes the narrow stripe.

The conical stripe is knitted as follows:--bring the wool forward, knit
two together, twice, and turn; knit these two, and two more of the black
and turn; continue this,--taking each time two more stitches of the
black, until within two stitches of the top, and turn; the wool will now
be at the bottom or wide part of the stripe. Commence again with the
black, as in the former narrow stripe, knitting the two black stitches
at the top. It may be also as well to diminish the narrow stripes by
turning when within two stitches of the top, in the centre row of gold
colour.

By a _turn_ is meant one row and back again.

The colours for the conical stripes may be any two or four colours,
which assort well together; or each may be different. When the last
conical stripe is finished, it is to be knitted to the first narrow
stripe.--The brioche is to be made up with a stiff bottom of mill board,
about eight inches in diameter, covered with cloth. The top is drawn
together, and fastened in the centre with a tuft of soft wool, or a cord
and tassels. It should be stuffed with down or fine combed wool.

[A] So called from its resemblance, in shape, to the well known
French cake of that name.
