3.—BABY’S KNITTED JACKET.
Cast on two hundred stitches on good sized steel needles, knit quarter stitch eleven purls, that is twenty-two times across; then, with colored split worsted, knit three purls, then narrow every time, putting the worsted twice over the needle each time to make holes; knit three purls, then commence with the white worsted; knit fourteen purls; divide the stitches into three parts, fifty on each side, one hundred in the middle. Commence with the middle, knit twenty-two purls, then narrow each side of the needle every other time, making twenty-two purls, bind off. Knit the fronts the same way, narrowing only on one side.
SLEEVES.
Cast on sixty-five stitches, knit thirty-six purls, narrowing each side of the needle every eighth purl; knit three purls with color, make holes, then three more purls, bind off fifty-four stitches, then sew up the shoulders, take up the stitches round the neck, knit the same with the colored worsted, as the border on the sleeves, take up stitches down each side of the front, knit the same border, only have one purl before making the holes, then knit two purls.
BORDER.
Cast on eighteen stitches, and knit the same as border for blanket, making seven holes instead of four. Split worsted is preferable.
