5 rows you repeat from the beginning.

TURKISH STITCH (fig. 383).--1st row--slip 1, knit 1, over, knit 2
together, over, knit 2 together, and so on to the 2 last stitches, which
you knit plain.

[Illustration: FIG. 383. TURKISH STITCH.]

2nd row--slip the 1st, knit the 2nd and the 3rd plain, the latter having
been formed by the last over on the 1st needle; 1 over, 1 intake with
the stitch and the over, 1 over, 1 intake and so on.

TURKISH STITCH WITH BEADS (fig. 384).--String the beads on the thread
before you begin to knit. When you only use one kind of bead, thread a
needle with your knitting cotton and run it through the thread on which
the beads are strung.

When you use several kinds, you must count and thread them on in the
required order. Beaded knitting is little in request now, excepting for
tobacco pouches and purses; for which you should use Cordonnet 6 fils
D.M.C Nos. 35, in any colour, and small beads.

[Illustration: FIG. 384. TURKISH STITCH WITH BEADS.]

For close beaded knitting, plain stitch is the best. Run the beads down
singly at each stitch. The beads will fall on the reverse side of the
work so that in knitting with beads, remember that the reverse side will
be the right side.

To work fig. 384, which represents the same stitch as fig. 383, you run
down 2 or sometimes 3 beads before knitting each stitch.

KNITTING PATTERN WITH TWO KINDS OF COTTON (fig. 385).--A variety of
pretty things, such as open-work stockings, shawls, curtains etc. can be
made in this pattern, worked with two sizes of thread. To give it its
full effect it ought to be knitted with coarse needles, Nos. 10, 11, or
12.

[Illustration: FIG. 385. KNITTING PATTERN WITH TWO KINDS OF COTTON.

MATERIALS: Fil a pointer D.M.C No. 20 or 30, and Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C
No. 60 or 80, ecru.[A]]

Cast on a number of stitches that divides by 8. Take the coarse thread
to begin with.

1st and 2nd row--purl.

3rd row--purl 5, 2 overs, purl 5.

4th row--with the fine thread: over, knit 2 together, slip the next
stitch of the previous row, drop the double over, slip the next stitch,
1 over, knit 2 together.

5th row--over, knit 2 together, over, knit 2 together, and so on.

6th row--like the last. See that the 2 slipped stitches, in the coarse
thread, always come on the right side of the work.

7th row--with the coarse thread: purl 4, purl the 2 slipped stitches of
the 3rd row together, then repeat from the 1st row.
