Ninth row—knit 4, pearl 12, knit 4.
Tenth row—knit 8, turn round, and pearl and knit these 4 alternately until 11 rows are done. Slip them on to the pointed pin, and let it hang down over the right side of the knitting. Knit 4 stitches on the right-hand pin off the left one; then knit the 4 on the double-pointed pin; knit the remainder.
Eleventh row—knit 4, pearl 12, knit 4.
Twelfth row—plain knitting.
Repeat from the 7th row until one yard and a half are done; knit 6 plain rows and cast off. You must knit 5 stripes, three scarlet and two white, and join with Berlin or Scotch fingering. Put a fringe, which must be crocheted on. Take about 24 inches of wool, double it, insert the crochet-needle in a stitch of the couvre-pied and pull the ends of the wool through the loop, and tighten gently with the fingers.
Baby’s Berceaunette Cover.
Long wooden pins, No. 10. 1 lb. pink and 1 lb. white, 4-thread fleecy. Costs 15s. with lining.
Cast on 7 stitches with pink, 7 with white; continue to cast on alternately 7 in each colour until you have 147 altogether. Do * 7 stitches in pink, 7 in white. Repeat 3rd row, 7 pink stitches, and pass the wool in front; then go on with the white. Continue this knitting, and when 7 rows are done do white over the pink squares and pink over the white; you thus make regular rows of squares. You must be careful always to pass the wool after every alternate row to the front of the knitting, so as to have all the long threads on the wrong side: care must be taken not to pull these threads too tightly in passing from one coloured square to another. Make a fringe, and line carefully with pink silk.
Several of the couvrette patterns would make the above, and nearly all the fancy stitches would be pretty done in stripes of pink and white.
