332.--_Knitted Pattern with Raised Embroidery_.
Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton No. 8 or 20.
This pattern is worked in rows going backwards and forwards with thick
or fine cotton according to the use you wish to make of it. The
star-like figures on the knitted squares are worked with soft cotton in
_point de poste_. Cast on a number of stitches long enough (19 stitches
are necessary for the two squares), work the 1st row: * Knit 11
stitches, alternately 4 times knit 2 together, throw the cotton forward.
Repeat from *, The 2nd row is worked like the 1st, only purled, in this
row, as well as in the following ones, the stitch must be knitted with
the cotton thrown forward _after_ the stitch, the last stitch of a plain
square with the first cotton thrown forward of the open-work figure. The
number of stitches in the last must always be 8. The pattern consists
alternately of these two rows. Each pattern contains 12 rows, with the
13th the squares are reversed. The star figures are embroidered with
double cotton by working 5 chain stitch in the middle of each square;
draw the needle underneath the knitting to the next centre of a square.

1st round four times alternately. Throw the cotton forward, knit 1.
2nd round: Entirely knitted.
3rd round: * Throw the cotton forward, knit 1. Repeat 7 times more from
*. After every pattern round knit 1 round plain. Until after the 21st
round, we shall not mention this any more.
5th round: * Throw the cotton forward, knit 2 *. From the
7th to the 12th round the knitted stitches in every other round increase
by 1 stitch, so that in the 12th round there are 7 stitches between
