white stripe with 1 double. Finish the ends with fringe knotted in, six inches long and composed of 10 threads each of pink and white. Sport Scarf [Illustration: Sport Scarf] A very attractive scarf uses brown Shetland as a body color, with deep cream-color, green and rose in combination with the brown for stripes. Using No. 3 1/2 or No. 4 bone needles, cast on 84 stitches and knit back and forth for 64 rows or 32 ribs; then join in the cream-color and knit (4 rows of cream, 2 rows of brown) 5 times, 10 rows of cream, (2 of brown, 4 of cream) 5 times; 64 rows of brown; join in green, (4 rows of green, 2 of brown) 3 times; 10 rows of green; (2 of brown, 4 of green) 3 times; 64 rows of brown; (4 of rose, 2 of brown) 3 times; 10 of rose; (2 of brown, 4 of rose) 3 times; * 64 rows of brown. Reverse from *, making the other end of scarf as directed for first half. For the fringe, cut strands of brown six inches long, and knot a strand in each stitch. For a lighter scarf use No. 4 bone needles and cast on 48 or 50 stitches. The larger needles with loose knitting will give work much more open. If desired one may introduce rows of fancy knitting instead of the colored stripes. In fact, having made one scarf, the worker will find it possible to vary it in many ways, and will find such variation a pleasing study. Many like to use a thread of silk or mercerized crochet-cotton with the Shetland floss or other wool which may be chosen. Scarf in Lattice-Stitch [Illustration: Scarf in Lattice-Stitch] Using Shetland floss and No. 4 bone needles, cast on as many stitches as required for width of scarf, using a multiple of 6 with 2 over. Knit back and forth 6 times. 7. Knit 1, over 3 times; repeat, knitting last stitch. 8. Knit 1, draw up the loop about one inch in length, (drop the "overs," and slip the knitted stitch) 6 times, slip the 6 long stitches to left-hand needle, draw the last 3 over 1st 3, knitting each, then knit the 1st 3, and repeat, knitting 1 at end of row. Take care the long stitches are not twisted. 9. 10, 11. Knit plain. Repeat from 7th row. Gather up the ends of the scarf and finish with cord and tassel, or a bow of ribbon, as preferred.
