8.—SOFA CUSHION.
Cast by knitting sixteen stitches, knit plain four rows like a garter, knit eight stitches, turn and purl four, knitting heel stitch (that is, plain in front, and purl on the back side), ten times on the four stitches. Then slip the four stitches from the needle while you take up the next four, then return them again and knit the remaining four, turn and knit twelve stitches, then take up the last loop on the roll, and narrow it off with the first stitch of the last four, then knit the last three plain. Then knit four rows plain (which makes three rows of purling on the right side between each roll). Now commence another roll, same as before. It takes seven ounces of tapestry worsted, or double zephyr, one ounce to a stripe. Be careful and select colors that will harmonize together.
9.—TABLE MATS.
Table mats, made of coarse white tidy yarn—with the plain crochet stitch and a scallop border—are easily worked, and do not strain the eyes.
