It is a good plan to pick up the stitches all along the shoulder-strap, and knit a few rows, according to the depth of sleeve desired.
Shetland Shawl.
This takes ¾ lb. of wool, and costs about 9s. A scarlet or violet crocheted border improves it. It can be finished off with a fringe or not, as suits the taste. Bone pins, No. 7.
Cast on 302. Knit a plain row; knit 1 plain stitch at the beginning and end of every row. * Make 1, knit 3, draw the first of the three over the other two. Repeat from *. The next row plain. Repeat these two rows until enough is done, and cast off.
Any fancy stitch will do: it had better be rather a simple one.
Pence Jug.
½ oz. pink and ½ oz. black Andalusian would do three. They would cost 3½d. each. 5 needles, No. 16.
Cast on 12 stitches on 1 pin for the spout, 10 on each of the three other needles; 4 rounds plain. Now do rounds of 2 plain, 2 pearl, except the spout, which leave plain, decreasing 1 stitch at each side of the twelve in the first 4 rounds, and 1 stitch on every alternate side in the next 8 rounds. The spout is now finished, and you ought to have 31 stitches on the needles.
Knit 12 rounds, 2 pearl, 2 plain, except under the spout, where 1 stitch is to be plain.
