337.--_Knitted D'Oyley. (See page 579.)_

Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s crochet cotton No. 36; glazed
embroidery cotton No. 10; steel knitting-needles.

This pattern is knitted with very fine crochet cotton. The middle part
as well as the lace border are worked separately; the latter is sewn on
to the middle part. The spots in the thick parts are worked in
afterwards with coarser cotton. Commence the pattern in the centre, cast
on 6 stitches, join them into a circle, and knit 2 plain rounds.

3rd round: Alternately knit 1, throw the cotton forward.

4th and 5th rounds: Plain.

6th round: Alternately knit 1, throw the cotton forward.

7th round: Plain. Every other round is plain. We shall not mention these
plain rounds any more.

8th round: Knit 2, * throw the cotton forward, knit 1, throw the cotton
forward, knit 3; repeat from * to the end of the round; lastly, throw
the cotton forward, knit 1, throw the cotton forward, knit 1.

10th round: * Throw the cotton forward, knit 1, throw the cotton
forward, knit 2 together.

12th round: * Throw the cotton forward, knit 3, throw the cotton
forward, knit 2 together, throw the cotton forward, knit 1, throw the
cotton forward, knit 2 together.

14th round: * Throw the cotton forward, knit 5, throw the cotton
forward, knit 2 together, throw the cotton forward, knit 1, throw the
cotton forward, knit 2 together.

16th round: * Throw the cotton forward, knit 7, throw the cotton
forward, knit 2 together, throw the cotton forward, knit 1, throw the

18th, 20th, 22nd, and 24th rounds are worked like the 16th round; only
the middle plain part of the pattern figures increases by 2 stitches in
every pattern round, so that there are 15 plain stitches
