335.--_Looped Knitting._

Materials: 4-thread fleecy wool; 2 wooden knitting-needles; 1 flat
wooden mesh.

Cast on a sufficient number of stitches, and knit the 1st row plain.

2_nd Row_.--Slip the 1st stitch; insert the needle into the next stitch,
and throw the cotton forward as if you were going to knit the stitch;
place the mesh behind the needle in the right hand, and turn the wool
which is on this needle upwards, bring it back again on the needle so
that it is wound once round the mesh, and twice round the needle. Then
only the double stitch through the second stitch, knit it, and insert
the needle into the next stitch, and repeat what has been explained.
Knit the last stitch without a loop.

3_rd Row_.--Before drawing out the mesh, turn the work and knit one
plain row. Every double stitch is knitted as one stitch, so as to attain
the same number of stitches as in the 1st row.

4_th Row_.--Like the 2nd row. Repeat these rows as often as required.

This knitting is chiefly used for borders of mats.
