With claret,—repeat the last six rounds.
Repeat the two last stripes, twice. Then,—
From the first needle,—knit fourteen stitches, with claret; join on the blue; knit twenty-three, leaving fourteen stitches (claret), corresponding with the other side, on the third needle; then, turn back and knit five rows, slipping the first stitch at the commencement of each row.
Repeat the last stripe, three times; first—with claret, second—with blue, third—with claret.
In the next three stripes of the alternate colours, knit two together at the commencement, and end, of every third row. Then,—knit one stripe (claret), knitting two together at the commencement of each row. Cast off.—This finishes the front of the boot.
Commence again at the fourteen claret stitches that were left on the first needle,—knit these, and cast on another thirty-six stitches in claret; knit six plain rows.—In the next row, knit two together, at the commencement. Knit nine more rows, knitting two together at the commencement of every other row.—In the next four rows,—knit two together at the commencement of each row.—This completes the first half of the foot.
Knit the fourteen remaining stitches on the third needle, casting on thirty-six stitches, as before, and finish the other half of the foot in the same manner.
The two halves of the foot are then to be sewn together, and the foot sewn to the front of the boot.
