Beautiful Pattern for a Scarf.

Five ounces of Shetland wool, or 4 of silk, are required. This
may either be worked with a deep shaded border or all plain;
worked in the fine black Shetland wool or Ardoise silk, it has the
effect of black lace. The patterns both for the border and the
centre may be applied for a variety of purposes, and where beauty
and elegance of pattern are appreciated, they cannot fail to be
admired.

For the border, cast on 130 stitches; 2 are kept for each edge,
which are not mentioned in the pattern; they are knit and seamed
every alternate row. No. 11 pins for Shetland wool, and No. 12
for Ardoise, are good sizes. Nine stitches form the pattern; so,
if wished wider or narrower, either add or take off 9 stitches.
Knit 1 plain row, seam and now commence the border, which may
be knit about half-a-yard deep.

First row:--Seam 2, make 1, knit 2 together, knit 3, knit 2
together, make 1; repeat.

Second row:--Seam 7, knit 2, alternately.

Third row:--Seam 2, knit 1, make 1, knit 2 together, knit 1,
