Join the dashes to the dashes, the O's to the O's, the diamonds to the diamonds in like manner ([Figure 268]).
You will have a piece of knitting that looks like a box cover. Turn it so the wrong side is in the right position. Fold the backs over the other so that the 2 rows of holes correspond. Sew along the bottom edge.
Turn back a little corner from the plain knitting and sew it down.
Run a ribbon through the holes and tie in a bow in front.
