51st round—Pearl 1, knit 4, decrease, knit 4, pearl 1, knit 4, decrease, knit 4.
Then to join the toe, knit 5, turn the work on the wrong side, place the needles so as to double the stitches, and knit a stitch off each needle as one stitch 10 times. Fasten off. Sew up the leg. The sock should now be washed before the colored wool is worked.
The Trimming, 1st round—Commence at the top and work with the colored wool and crochet needle No. 2, 5 chain, 1 plain in the centre of the knitted rib; repeat 14 times.
2nd round—Turn back so as to work the contrary way, keep the last round down in the front and work on the foundation round of the knitting as before; 5 chain and 1 plain in the centre of the pearled rib. Repeat all round.
3rd round—White. 4 chain, 1 plain in the next loop of chain of the 2nd round, 6 chain; 1 plain in the same loop of chain as before. Repeat all round.
4th round—Colored. 1 plain in the 4 chain of the last round, * 5 chain, 1 plain in the 6 chain, 7 chain, 1 plain in the same 6 chain, then 5 chain, 1 plain in the 4 chain. Repeat from *, and fasten off.
Turn this frill down over the sock, then with a rug needle and black floss work a chain stitch at every other point of the trimming, to attach it to the 20th row of the sock.
The Spots are now to be embroidered at every pearled stitch of the sock, thus—with black floss commence at the centre of the toe, work a chain stitch over the 1 pearl, taking it across 2 stitches of the knitting in width, and 3 rows in depth. Repeat at each pearl stitch of the front and sides, slipping the needle along on the wrong side; then with the colored wool work a chain stitch at each of the black stitches, commencing one stitch lower, and working it in the centre of the black.
The cord is made by working a chain with the colored wool doubled, and it is to be run in both open rows, and finished with tassels.
