it 2 stitches, bring the thread forward, and knit 8 stitches bringing the thread forward between each, knit 1 stitch, knit 2 taken together, repeat this for the round; then begin again at the 2nd round. When the cuff is long enough cast off and sew a bit of lace at each edge. _Netted Cuffs._ Four skeins of colored lambsaEuro(TM)-wool and 6 of white; a steel pin No. 14, a flat wooden mesh 1/2 an inch wide, and a foundation of 120 stitches, are required. Net 2 rows of colored lambsaEuro(TM)-wool with the steel pin; 1 row with white lambsaEuro(TM)-wool and the large mesh; then 1 row with the colored, netting 2 white stitches in one, which reduces the stitches to half the number; net another row of colored wool, 1 of white, 2 of colored, &c., until there are 7 rows of white, besides the first, with 2 rows of colored between each. Net 2 rows of colored, 1 of white, netting 2 stitches in every colored one, and finish with 2 rows of colored. Sew it up, double it and run in a ribbon. This forms a very warm and pretty cuff to wear over the sleeve. The white rows are netted on the wide mesh, the colored on the small mesh. _Warm Cuffs._ Two needles are required. Cast on any number of stitches according to the size of your needles; knit 12 rows plain; knit 1 row putting the wool twice round the needle; rib a row, putting the wool twice round the needle; repeat the last 2 rows until you have about a quarter of a yard, and finish by knitting 12 rows as at first. Sew it up and fold the top and bottom together. _Muffatees._ Four needles No. 17, and fine German lambsaEuro(TM)-wool are required. Cast 24 stitches on each of 3 needles, knit round, knitting and ribbing 3 alternate stitches varying the color at pleasure: when the muffatee is about six inches long, begin double knitting[24-*] on coarser needles; when you have knitted about 2 inches, knit 6 plain rows and cast off; sew up the part that is in double knitting. [24-*] Double knitting. Begin with the wool forward, slip a stitch, pass the wool back, knit a stitch, continue to repeat these 2 stitches. Double knitting cannot be done round. _Muffatees._ Two middling sized ivory needles and rather fine wool, the color may be varied at pleasure. Cast on 40 stitches, knit 4 rows; rib 1 row; continue to repeat these rows, reckoning the cast on row as one; when the muffatee is long enough cast off
