Three-thread fleecy.—No. 10 needles.
Cast on any even number of stitches.—Bring the wool forward, knit two together, alternately, to the end of the row. Every row is the same.
Star Pattern Shawl, in Two Colours.
Cast on four stitches in blue Zephyr wool, or four-thread fleecy.—No. 6 needles.
First row—bring the wool forward, knit one,—(these two stitches form the increase, and therefore are not to be repeated); bring the wool forward, slip one; knit two, pass the slip-stitch over them.—Repeat the same to the end of the row.
Second row—pearl knitting in claret.
Third row—the same as first,—in blue.
Fourth row—the same as second,—in claret.
Repeat these rows alternately, in blue and claret, until there are one hundred and eighty stitches on the needle; cast off, and finish with a netted fringe.
As the increasing adds an irregular stitch, some rows will have one, and others two knitted stitches, at their commencement.
