First row—knit 1, bring the wool forward, knit 2 together; take one of the lengths and double it, hang it on the right-hand needle, knit 2 stitches, bring the double ends of wool forward, knit 1 stitch, put the end back, and knit the last stitch.
Second row—knit every stitch plain, taking up with the 4th stitch the loop of fringe wool, and being careful not to split either of them. Continue to the end of the row plain.
Third row—the same as 1st.
Fourth row—the same as 2nd. Repeat.
Lady’s Scarlet and White Petticoat.
(WORN INSTEAD OF A FLANNEL ONE.)
Wooden pins about 17 inches long, and then cast on all the stitches you require. With pins No. 5 cast on 360, and knit with scarlet for 1 inch; then 2 inches of white, then 2 inches of scarlet. Now do the rest of the petticoat in double knitting, or some fancy stitch. (See [page 42].) When it is 26 inches long rib 21 rows in 2 plain, 2 pearl, and cast off. Knit a simple crochet scarlet edging. These petticoats pull out several inches longer after being washed.
