PILLOW CASE EDGING. Use Barbour's linen thread, No. 60, as it wears twice as long as that made from cotton thread, besides looking much better. It is an inser- tion and scallop combined, with a " beading " at each' edge of the inser- tion. Every alternate row is knit plain, except the " beading," when the thread is passed twice around the needle, and two stitches seamed together every row. Cast on twenty-nine stitches.
Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
