                             THE WAISTBAND.

doubled throughout the waistband. Cast on 34 stitches.

1st row—Knit 2 together, knit the rest plain.

2nd row—Slip the 1st stitch, knit the rest plain.

Repeat these 2 rows 20 times more, when there will be only 13 stitches;
then knit 64 rows plain, always slipping the 1st stitch; this will make
the bodice 25 inches round the waist, if required more or less, these 64
rows can be added to or reduced.

107th row—Increase a stitch thus—knit the 1st stitch; but before taking
it off the left pin put the right pin into the back of the same stitch
and knit it off—knit the rest plain.

108th row—Slip 1, knit the rest. Repeat the last 2 rows 20 times more,
when there will be 34 stitches; then, commencing at the 1st row, repeat
the direction once more.

297th row—(For the button-holes) Slip 1, knit 1 (make 1, knit 2
together, knit 4, 5 times), make 1, knit 2 together. Knit 5 rows plain
and cast off. With the black wool doubled, and crochet-needle No. 1,
work a row of single crochet on both sides of the selvedge of the band,
working a stitch to each rib of the knitting.


                            THE RIGHT SIDE.


With white wool and No. 10 pins cast on 27 stitches, and, as a guide to
the making up, label the last stitch with the letter _a_. The work

on 6 stitches.

2nd row—Knit the 6 stitches cast on, and the rest of the 1st row all

armhole, and mark it _c_. Work the 25th and 26th rows 14 times.

1st row—Make 1, knit 2 together, then knit 2 together again; repeat, and
at the end knit 3. There will now be 69 stitches.

The first and last rows of the white piece must now be sewed to the
selvedge of the waistband at the side where the points are made; both
pieces are to be kept on the wrong side, and in sewing it take the
Magenta stitches, leaving the black row in front. Sew the shortest side
cast off to the top of the point at the back of the band, then sew the
1st stitch cast off to the 38th rib of the band. Take the end marked

                             --------------




                          =GENTLEMAN’S CUFF.=

                        BRIOCHE KNITTING. No. 4.

  _Materials—1 skein each of White and Colored Andalusian Wool; 4
            knitting needles, No. 16._


With the colored wool cast on 23 stitches on each of three needles—in
all, 69 stitches.

1st round—Colored wool. Make 1, slip 1, knit 2 together. Repeat all
round. Then tie on the white wool, turn back, so as to hold the work on
the other side, leave the colored wool at the back on the right side,
and with the white wool knit off the 3rd pin for the

2nd round—Make 1, slip 1, knit the 2 loops which cross together. Repeat
all round. Bring the white wool in front, turn the work again, so as to
hold it on the right side, keeping the white wool at the back, the
colored being in the front. In commencing a round the wool should be
kept tight. Repeat these 2 rounds about 50 times, and cast off.


                             --------------




                            =CHILD’S SHOE.=

                        TRICOT ECOSSAIS. No. 5.

  _Materials—1 skein each of Blue and White Andalusian wool; Tricot
            needle, the stem of which measures No. 14, Bell guage._


Commence at the back of the shoe with blue wool. Make a chain of 28
stitches.

1st double row—Raise the loops thus:—Keep the loop on the needle, miss
the first chain stitch, * put the needle into the next stitch, and bring
the wool through in a loop on the needle. Repeat from * until there are
28 loops on the needle; then, to “work back,” take the wool on the
needle, and bring it through the last 2 loops on it. Repeat, bringing
the wool through 2 loops each time, until there are only 2 loops on the
needle. Join on the white wool, still leaving the blue, and bring it
through the 2 blue loops to finish the row. A double row is worked with
the two colors alternately, throughout the shoe, and they need not be
cut off; the end of every row is to be worked the same.

2nd row—White. Miss the edge stitch, and putting the needle into the
perpendicular loop of the 1st row, bring the wool through; raise 9 loops
more the same, and, to † increase a stitch, put the needle in the wool
_between_ the next 2 stitches and raise a loop; then raise a loop from
the next stitch. Repeat from † 5 times more, than raise 12 loops as
usual, when there will be 34 on the needle. Work back, as in the 1st
row.

3rd row—Blue. Work a double row.

4th—White. Work a double row. Repeat these 2 double rows 9 times;
making, in all, 22 rows.

23rd row—Blue. Make 8 chain, miss 1, raise 7 stitches from the 8 chain;
then, on the 22nd row, raise 13 stitches as usual; increase a stitch, as
before, then raise 8 stitches; increase a stitch, raise 13 stitches.
Take a piece of blue wool, make 8 chain, tie it to the last stitch of
the 23rd row, and raise the 8 stitches of it; there will be 52 loops on
the needle.

24th row—White. Work a double row of 52 stitches.

25th row—Blue. Raise all the stitches; but at the end take the last 2
stitches together to decrease a stitch. Work back until there are only 3
loops on the needle, then bring the white wool through all 3 to finish
the row; this will decrease a stitch.

26th row—White. Miss the 2 loops close together, raise the rest of the
loops as usual, and take the last 2 stitches together; work back to the
last 3 loops, then bring the blue through them to finish.

Repeat as the last row, working the colors alternately, until there are
only 20 stitches left, then with a rug-needle draw all these stitches
together, and sew them firmly to form the toe. The stitches added at the
23rd row are for the instep, the shoe being joined up the front in
single crochet, thus—work with the blue wool doubled; commence with a
single stitch at the toe, place the slanting selvedges together, * put
the needle into the right edge, then into the left edge, bring the wool
through, and also through the loop on the needle. Repeat from * until
the front is joined; fasten off.

For the back, double the 1st row and join the sides, drawing about 6
stitches together in the centre for the heel. Fold the blue wool in
three, and with it work a row of single crochet along the top of the
shoe, making a stitch to each double row; then, with the single wool,
work a row of 1 chain, and 1 single in each stitch of the former row.
Fasten off.

THE STRAP—Double the white wool, and with it make 66 chain, turn, miss
1, 4 single on the chain; then 3 chain, miss 3, and work single crochet
along the remainder of the chain. Then with the blue wool, used single,
work 1 chain and 1 single round both sides. Sew it to the back of the
shoe, and a button to the strap opposite the button-holes.

A leather sole may be added, and the shoe lined with silk, if preferred,
but it is complete without.


                             --------------




                           =LADY’S NECKTIE,=

            two colours that contrast; 3 large steel netting needles and
            a mesh No. 10; a pair of tassels and ring._


A foundation of 241 stitches will be requisite.

1st row—Fill a needle with the Magenta wool, commence at the 1st stitch,
and on the foundation net 60 stitches; then turn back, leaving the rest
of the foundation, and net the 60 stitches; all the rows worked in
Magenta are reckoned double rows.

2nd row—Net 55 stitches on the 1st row, and leaving 5 stitches of it,
turn back and net the 55 stitches.

this side of work.

Fill a second needle with Magenta, leave an end of wool and tie it in
the 61st stitch of the foundation, counting from the other end of it,
this will leave 120 stitches in the centre; net the 60 stitches, that
is, to the end of the foundation, and repeat from the 2nd row to the end
of the 6th row as before. There will now be half a point of Magenta at
each end of the work; leave it, and fill a needle with green wool, and
for

THE GREEN POINT, 1st row—Commence by joining the wool to the end of
Magenta left at the beginning of the second half-point, then net the 120
stitches of the foundation, which will bring the wool to the 1st double
row of Magenta, and, to join them together, pass the needle through the
1st loop of the Magenta, drawing it close to the work; and for the

2nd row—Net the 120 green stitches, then net the 5 Magenta stitches;

            Andalusian wool; 1 reel of Gold Check; a pair of Knitting
            Pins No. 7; and for the Trimming, Crochet Needle No. 1._


                               THE FRONT.


THE WHITE STRIPE.—With white wool, cast on very loosely with 2 pins, 90
stitches. Work 10 rows plain knitting, always slipping the 1st stitch of
each row; then for

    THE COLORED STRIPE—Black wool. Knit two rows plain as before.
                       Colored wool. 4 rows.
                       Gold check. 4 rows.
                       Colored wool. 4 rows.
                       Black wool. 2 rows.

THE WHITE STRIPE—Knit 14 rows plain. Repeat the colored stripe and 12
rows of white; then knit 2 rows of white, casting off very loosely 14
stitches at the beginning of each row. These ends are for the Lappets,
and 62 stitches will be left in the centre; on these 62 stitches repeat
the colored stripe and 10 rows of white. Cast off loosely, so that the
work may be stretched lengthways and measure about one yard, including
the lappets, which are now to be fringed as follows:

THE FRINGE—Cut the white wool in lengths of 6 inches, take 3 pieces, and
put the crochet needle into a stitch of the selvedge of a white stripe,
fold the wools on the point of the needle, bring them through the stitch
in a loop, then bring the ends of wool through the loop and draw them
tight. Repeat along the selvedge, looping in the same colors as the
stripes. Fringe the opposite lappet the same. Then, with a rug-needle
and wool commence at the 14th stitch of the foundation row, run it
across the stripes, so as to draw them all together, and sew it firm; to
this will be attached the strings and a rosette. Draw the other end the
same; then, commencing at the centre stitch of the foundation draw the
stripes together for the middle of the head, where the large rosette is
placed.


                                THE BACK


WHITE STRIPE—With white wool, cast on tightly with 1 pin, 20 stitches.

1st row—Knit the 1st stitch; but before taking it off the left pin put
the right pin into the back of the same stitch, and knit it off—this
will increase a stitch. Repeat to the end, when there will be 40
stitches. Knit 9 rows plain as before.

Repeat the colored stripe and 14 rows of white as for the front, until
there are 6 white stripes and 5 colored; in the last repeat, work only 9
white rows, and for the last row knit every 2 stitches together, and
cast off tightly.

Fringe one selvedge of this piece in the same manner as the lappets.

THE ROSETTES—With the crochet needle and black wool work 5 chain, and
make it round.

1st round—Work 10 plain crochet stitches in the round loop.

2nd round—Join on the gold check, work 4 chain and 1 plain on the lower
edge of the black stitches, leaving the upper edge at the back. Repeat 9
times more.

3rd round—Colored wool. 7 chain, 1 plain on the upper edge of the black
row left at the back of the last. Repeat all round.

4th round—Black wool. 10 chain and 1 plain in the back of the same black
stitch in which the colored one was worked. Repeat all round and fasten
off. Sew this rosette to the centre row of the 2nd White Stripe of the
Back, about 12 stitches from the edge which is fringed, then draw up the
12 stitches under the rosette, so that it touches the edge and forms a
scallop. Work 3 rosettes more the same, attaching them to the 3
following white stripes. 5 more rosettes will be required. Sew one to
each side where the front is drawn together at the lappets.

LARGE ROSETTE—Commence with the colored wool; work 20 chain, make it
round, and work 10 chain and 1 plain 16 times in the round loop. Join on
the black wool, and work 12 chain and 1 plain 16 times, putting the
needle in the same foundation chain as before, but at the back of the
colored round; then, with the gold check, commence in a loop of the
black round, work 5 chain and 1 plain in each black loop. Repeat, and
fasten off. Take a small rosette and sew it into the centre of the large
one; then attach it to the centre of the front, where the stitches were
drawn together.

The back and front are to be joined together by sewing the selvedge of
the side not fringed to the foundation row of the front, thus—keep the
back piece on the right side of the work, and the front on the wrong
side, as it is to turn over to form a roll round the face, attach the
corners of the back piece under the rosettes at the top of the lappets.
Draw together the selvedge of the 3 colored stripes in the middle of the
back piece, and sew it under the large rosette; then sew the rest of the
selvedge to the 1st row of the front, and turn it over on the right
side; on each side attach a rosette to the 2nd white stripe of the back
near the front.

THE CORD is made by folding the wools 6 times; take a length of about
1-1/2 yards of black, colored, and gold, plait them together; two
lengths will be required. Leave 16 inches for the strings, and tack the
rest to the back, as in the engraving. A tassel is to be made at each
end of the cord.

                          THE SIDES AND BACK.


With black wool cast on 80 stitches, and work the first 4 rows the same
as for the front. Repeat these 4 rows again. Then work the same 4 rows 4
times more, leaving 4 stitches unworked at the end of each row to slant
the sides. Put all the stitches on one pin, and cast them off.


                              THE LINING.


With the white wool and No. 1 pins cast on 39 stitches. As a guide to
the making up, the first of these stitches should be labeled A, and the
last B.

1st row—Make 1, slip 1, knit 2 together; repeat to the end. Then cast on
3 stitches.

Work 19 rows more the same, casting on 3 stitches at the end of each.
Then 2 rows without casting on. There will now be 33 ribs on the pin.

23rd row—Cast off 30 stitches or 10 ribs, work the rest of the row as
before.

24th row—Cast off 10 ribs at the other end; this will leave 13 ribs in
the centre; the stitches cast off are for the sides of the lining. On
these 13 ribs now work 120 rows.

To shape the top, knit 4 ribs, turn back, and knit these 4 ribs
backwards and forwards for 5 rows more; then knit 8 ribs, turn back and
knit them; then 2 ribs, turn back and knit them; then 1 rib, turn back
and knit it; cast off these 12 stitches, and label the first one B, then
on the stitches left knit 5 ribs, turn back, and on the 5 ribs knit 5
rows. Then 4 rows, leaving a rib at the end of each, turn back, knit 3
ribs, then cast off these 5 ribs, and on the 4 ribs knit 7 rows; then 3
double rows, leaving a rib at the end of each. Cast off, label it A. The
Lining is folded at about the centre of the 120 straight rows; the
foundation row being for the top of the back; attach A to A and B to B,
then sew the stitches cast off for the sides to one-half of the selvedge
of the straight rows, and the stitches cast on to the other half.

The work, when finished, should be mounted on a frame of millboard, with
a cord to correspond at the seams, and a rouleau of shaded grey wool
round the opening.

needle into the 1st loop at the side of it, bring the amber through, and
also through the loop on the needle. Put the needle into the next loop
at the side of the colored stripe, taking two folds of the wool to make
it firm, bring the amber wool through, and also through the loop on the
needle; continue working a single stitch alternately on each stripe
until they are joined. The other stripes are joined in the same manner;
when finished, with amber wool work a row of 1 chain and 1 single up one
side of the last stripe, then along the top work a single row, and down
the other side 1 chain and 1 single, then a single row along the other
end.

THE FRINGE—Cut the wool in lengths of 8 inches, and loop it into the
single row, putting in a black loop and a loop the same color as the
stripe alternately along each point.
