Fifth, sixth, and seventh rows—plain knitting.
Eighth row—bring the wool forward, knit two together.
Repeat these last four rows seven times: then the brown border as before. They form a band of about four inches wide, which is to be drawn up at the two ends, and strings attached to tie it close to the chin.
Then, cast on forty stitches and commence another band with the brown border as above,—three rows of the pattern in white, and repeat the brown border. This is to be sewn or knitted on to the head piece, and forms the band for the back. A ribbon is to be run through it, to tie it close to the head.
Double Knitting for Comforters, etc.
Large-sized needles, No. 1, and four-thread fleecy, will be required.
Cast on any even number of stitches.
First row—bring the wool forward, slip one; pass the wool back, knit one, turning the wool twice round the needle.—Repeat to the end of the row.
Every succeeding row is the same.—The stitch knitted in one row, is the slip-stitch in the next.
