Lattice Pattern.
This is very handsome for antimacassars in stripes of two or more colours, and also for a baby’s counterpane. For the latter cast on in white petticoat yarn 110 stitches on long wooden pins, No. 6. If when finished you wish it larger put a border in rose-bud pattern. For an antimacassar cast on 1 stitch with fleecy wool and coarse bone pins. Plain knitting, increasing at the commencement of every row, until you have 22. (This pattern is in sixes, and you must have 2 plain stitches at the beginning and end of every row to form a border: these must always be knitted plain. There must be an even number of stitches, 22, 28, 34, according to the width required.)
First row—knit the 22 stitches plain.
Second row—slip 1, knit 1, for the border. * Knit 1, putting the wool three times round the needle. Repeat from *.
Third row—slip 1, knit 1, for the border. * Take off 6 long stitches, and pass the first 3 over the second 3, but do not let the latter run off the left-hand needle; and now knit off these 6 stitches plainly. Repeat from *.
