creasing 1 stitch at the end of every other
row. Now 12 more rows, decreasing 1 stitch at the end of every other
row; this forms the toe. Cast on 28 stitches on the same needle, and
knit 22 rows, decreasing 1 stitch at the end of every other row, and
cast off. Pick up the 68 stitches on the upper part of shoe, and knit 20
rows, alternately 2 plain and 2 purl rows, decreasing 1 stitch on each
side of the 12 stitches in every other row, which forms the toe and
front of sock. Knit 14 rows of 2 plain, 2 purl stitches alternately,
then 3 open rows with 1 plain row between. The open rows are worked as
follows:--* Purl 2 together, purl 1, make 1, repeat *, 3 plain rows, 1
open row, 1 plain row, and cast off. The sock is sewn together down the
back of leg, centre of sole, and the point joined like a gusset to form
the toe.

makes different articles, such as counterpanes, couvrettes, &c. &c. If
worked with Evans's cotton No. 10, it will be suitable for the
first-mentioned purpose. Begin the square in the centre, cast on 8

1st round. 2nd round: * Knit 1, throw the cotton forward, knit 1; repeat
3 times more from *.

3rd round: Plain knitting. This knitted round is repeated after every
pattern round. We shall not mention this again, nor the repetition from

4th round: * Knit 1, throw the cotton forward, knit 1, throw the cotton
forward, knit 1.

6th round: * Knit 1, throw the cotton forward, knit 3, throw the cotton
forward, knit 1.

8th round: * Knit 1, throw the cotton forward, knit 5, throw the cotton
forward, knit 1.

The 9th to 18th rounds are knitted in the same manner, only in every
other round the number of stitches between the 2 stitches formed by
throwing the cotton forward increases by 2, so that in the 18th round 15
stitches are knitted between.

20th round: * Knit 1, throw the cotton forward, knit 1, throw the cotton
forward, knit 5, slip 1, knit 1, draw the slipped over the knitted
stitch, knit 1, kn
