The Leg—Return to the stitches left, and with the same pin raise 14 stitches from the selvedge formed by the rows across the instep, thus: put the pin into the nearest stitch at the edge, and bring the wool through in a loop on it; then in the same manner raise 17 stitches from the stitches cast on; there will now be 48 stitches.
1st row—Slip 1, knit 1, then (pearl 2 and knit 2 alternately to the end).
Knit 29 rows more the same, then 6 rows plain, and cast off.
Sew the sides together, then the 1st and last rows of the sole, and the slanting sides, drawing the straight rows at the toe together.
BABY’S CROCHET BOOT.
Materials—8 skeins of white and 16 of colored Single Berlin Wool; Walker’s Penelope Crochet Needle, No. 1. See [page 13].
Commence at the Toe, and with the colored wool make 16 chain. The work should be tight.
1st row—Miss 1, 7 plain, 3 plain in one stitch, 7 plain, then 1 chain to form the selvedge, turn back. Now work in raised crochet, that is, putting the needle into the lower edge of the stitch of the previous row, and working a plain stitch, which will leave the upper edge in the front.
2nd row—Miss the 1 chain, work 8 plain always raised, then 3 stitches in one, 8 plain as before, 1 chain, turn back.
