Commence with Magenta at the stitches left, and knit as the 1st row for the 10 stitches, turn back; work as the 2nd row for 10 stitches, turn back. Join on the black, knit 2 together, then 8 stitches as the 3rd row, turn back; work 8 stitches as the 4th row, knit 1, turn back. Then with Magenta, knit 3 together, then 6 stitches as the 1st row, turn back; knit 6 stitches as the 2nd row, knit 1, turn back; with black, knit 3 together, then 4 stitches as the 3rd row, turn back; pearl 2, pearl 3 together, cast off.
THE SIDES AND BACK.
With black wool cast on 80 stitches, and work the first 4 rows the same as for the front. Repeat these 4 rows again. Then work the same 4 rows 4 times more, leaving 4 stitches unworked at the end of each row to slant the sides. Put all the stitches on one pin, and cast them off.
THE LINING.
With the white wool and No. 1 pins cast on 39 stitches. As a guide to the making up, the first of these stitches should be labeled A, and the last B.
1st row—Make 1, slip 1, knit 2 together; repeat to the end. Then cast on 3 stitches.
Work 19 rows more the same, casting on 3 stitches at the end of each. Then 2 rows without casting on. There will now be 33 ribs on the pin.
23rd row—Cast off 30 stitches or 10 ribs, work the rest of the row as before.
24th row—Cast off 10 ribs at the other end; this will leave 13 ribs in the centre; the stitches cast off are for the sides of the lining. On these 13 ribs now work 120 rows.
To shape the top, knit 4 ribs, turn back, and knit these 4 ribs backwards and forwards for 5 rows more; then knit 8 ribs, turn back and knit them; then 2 ribs, turn back and knit them; then 1 rib, turn back and knit it; cast off these 12 stitches, and label the first one B, then on the stitches left knit 5 ribs, turn back, and on the 5 ribs knit 5 rows. Then 4 rows, leaving a rib at the end of each, turn back, knit 3 ribs, then cast off these 5 ribs, and on the 4 ribs knit 7 rows; then 3 double rows, leaving a rib at the end of each. Cast off, label it A. The Lining is folded at about the centre of the 120 straight rows; the foundation row being for the top of the back; attach A to A and B to B, then sew the stitches cast off for the sides to one-half of the selvedge of the straight rows, and the stitches cast on to the other half.
