Border for a Shawl.
This will form a good pine pattern for the border of a shawl, in German wool on a black ground.
Commence with chain and first row—deep gold colour.
Second row—black.
Then crochet the annexed pine on a black ground, in the following colours.
No. 50.
First row—imperial blue.
Second row—lighter shade of blue.
Third row—deep scarlet.
Fourth row—bright scarlet.
Fifth row—dark green.
Sixth row—middle green.
Seventh row—dark lilac.
Eighth row—light lilac.
Ninth and Tenth rows—two shades of stone colour.
Eleventh and Twelfth rows—two shades of blue.
Thirteenth and Fourteenth rows—two shades of scarlet.
Then, work one plain row of black, and one plain row of gold colour.
To form a point, if it be intended for the border of a half square shawl, omit a stitch in the centre of each row;—this, if the size of the shawl has been determined upon, previously to commencing the work, may easily be done without interfering with the pattern, as by calculating the number of stitches required, a greater space of the ground where the stitches are to be omitted between the two centre pines may be allowed. For a square shawl, the border, if preferred, may be worked separately, and afterwards sewn on.
