Fifth round—knit three; pearl three; keep the wool in front, slip one; knit one, pass the slip-stitch over it.—Repeat.
Commence again, as at [first round]; but, in order to keep the pattern in a slanting direction, the stitch that the slip-stitch was passed over in the previous row, must be made the first knit stitch, bringing the last of the former knitted stitches in the open part.
When a sufficient number of patterns have been knitted, to form a bolster of the desired length, it is to be drawn up at the ends, and soft tassels added. As the pattern is open, a bright coloured silk lining looks best;—cerise or blue, for instance, with the knitting in white. The bolster should be stuffed with down, or soft wool.
