[Illustration: 330.--Knitted Veil.] Illustration 330 represents a knitted veil in reduced size. The original was worked with fine Shetland wool in an open pattern; it is edged with a knitted lace.

The pattern must be reversed. The pattern figures increase with the increasings at the beginning and at the end of each row. The pattern of illustration 331 consists of the 2 following rows:--1st row: Slip 1, then alternately throw the wool forward, and knit 2 together. 2nd row: Entirely knitted; make 1 stitch of the wool thrown forward in the last row.
