chain, miss one loop and do three treble, miss one loop and do a treble
in the last stitch.
Second row — Three chain, two treble, worked into the hole between
the first and second stitches, one chain, miss three loops and work three
treble into the next hole; one chain, one treble into last loop.
Third row — Three chain, two treble into the first hole, one chain,
three treble into the next hole, one chain, one treble into the last stitch.
You ought now to have formed a small square mat, and henceforth the
shawl is very simple. Three treble, one chain alternately ; increase at
each corner by working three treble, one chain, three treble all into one
hole. The first round you will be obliged to work into loops, but after
that into the holes formed by the one chain. As the shawl gets larger
you must do two instead of one chain.
For the border do five rounds in scarlet, then ten in white ; then
scarlet again for several inches and end with a scallop formed thus :
One single, one double, one treble, one long treble, two chain, one long
treble, one treble, one double ; repeat.
For a smaller shawl you will only require seven ounces of white
wool and the same amount of scarlet,, or they are pretty knit all in one
color.
INFANTS' KNITTED SHIRTS.
With Saxony yarn and very coarse steel needles, or fine bone needles
cast on seventy-three stitches. Knit across once, so as to make a good
edge, and always slip the first stitch.
First row — Slip first, slip second, knit one plain and draw the slipped
stitch over it over, knit one plain, over, knit one, over, knit one, over,
knit one, over, knit one, over, knit one, over, knit one, knit two together
(or narrow), purl one. Repeat from " slip second" to end of row.
Second row — Slip first, purl sixteen stitches, knit one plain, purl
sixteen, knit one plain, repeat to end of row.
Third row — Slip first, slip second, knit one, bind slipped stitch over
it, knit twelve stitches plain, narrow, purl one ; repeat from slip second.
Fourth row — Slip first, purl fourteen, knit one plain ; repeat from to
end of row.
Fifth row — Slip first, slip second, knit one plain, bind slipped stitch
over it, knit ten plain, narrow, purl one, and repeat from slip second.
Sixth row — Slip first, purl ten, purl two together, knit one plain, purl
ten. purl two together, knit one plain ; repeat to end of row.
This makes the whole pattern, and when done leaves the original
seventy-three stitches. It is to be repeated six times, which forms the
bottom part of the shirt body. Now knit two and purl two back and
forth, which makes ribbed knitting, until the shirt is nine inches long.
Now knit a row in this way : Slip one, over, narrow, one plain, over, nar-
row, one plain, etc., to end of row, and knit next row back plain, and
cast off. This makes a row of holes, through which a ribbon is drawn.
