With heather mixture cast on 78 stitches, 26 on each needle. Knit 4 rounds of k 1, p 1 alternately.
Purl two rounds.
In the next round you use the two colours alternately. Don't break off the wool until directed to do so.
1st pattern round.—With red wool, k 4. Heather wool k 2, but in knitting these put the wool twice round the needle instead of once as in ordinary knitting; this is done to lengthen the stitch. Repeat.
2nd round.—Red wool, k 4, slip the 2 knitted stitches on to the same needle, letting the wool drop to make a long stitch. When you slip, put in needle, as if to purl, from right to left. Repeat.

6th round.—Heather wool. Knit all.
7th and 8th rounds.—Purl all.
9th round.—Red wool, k 1, *, heather wool, k 2, putting wool twice round needle, red wool, k 4, repeat from *, end with k 3 red wool.
