f. Make a small rosette of ribbon, and sew it in
front of the shoe.

_Netted Curtain._

For a French Bed.

With a mesh 1 inch wide net 130 stitches. 195 rows will complete the
curtain.

_Moorish Brioche or Cushion._

Choose any number of colored wools, or if preferred, two that
contrast well. Two needles, No. 12.

Cast on 60 stitches, bring the wool forward, slip a stitch, knit 1, (by
this you increase by a loop stitch,) bring the wool forward, slip a
stitch, knit 1; repeat these stitches to the end of the row. 2nd row:
bring the wool forward, slip a stitch, knit the loop made last row with
the next stitch, bring the wool forward, slip a stitch, knit the loop
and stitch together; repeat these stitches to the end of the row. Knit 6
more rows in the same manner, the stitch is the same throughout. Fasten
on the 2nd color, bring the wool forward, slip a stitch, knit 1, bring
the wool forward, slip a stitch, knit 1. Now instead of continuing the
row, turn back. Bring the wool forward, slip a stitch, knit 1, bring the
wool forward, slip a stitch, knit 1. Continue to increase the number you
slip and knit by 4 every time, until all the 60 have been knitted. Knit
8 rows of the 1st color, and proceed as before. Twelve of these
divisions will make the cushion large enough. Sew it up at the side. Net
a fringe with double coarse lambsaEuro(TM)-wool to the narrow part, and run in a
string to tie it tightly together under the fringe. Make a round
cushion, and cover it with the knitting.

_A Blanket._

Two very coarse wooden needles and wool proportionably coarse.

Cast on 30 stitches; knit a few plain rows for the edge; then begin with
the wool forward, slip 1 stitch taking it under so as not to twist it,
knit 1 stitch, repeat these 2 stitches to the end of the row, and you
will find you have increased 15 stitches; repeat this row with this only
difference, that in future you knit the loop and stitch under it
together.

These strips done in squares of different colors are very pretty.

_Blanket in strips._

Needles and wool the same as for the preceding pattern.

Cast on 32 stitches, knit 7 rows common knitting; then begin double
knitting,[106-*] knitting 4 stitches plain on each side for a border,
knit about 24 rows, knit 8 rows plain and then double knitting again;
continue these squares until the piece is long enough. It is very pretty
if the squares are done in different colors.
