Knit four rounds,—with orange, slipping every fourth (blue) stitch, as before.
Knit one round, decreasing six stitches,—with blue.
Pearl two rounds,—with blue.
Seventy-two stitches should now remain on the needles. Divide this number of stitches by six, and knit eleven rounds with orange; decreasing six stitches in each round, by knitting two together, at the commencement of each division; when a star of six points will be formed, and six stitches only will remain on the needles:—these are to be drawn up at the point.
Take up eight stitches on the side opposite the spout; then, in pearled, and plain rows, work a piece about an inch and a half long—with orange. The end of this is to be attached to the first row of the bowl of the jug, to form the handle.
