Cast on 40 stitches, knit 4 rows; rib 1 row; continue to repeat these rows, reckoning the cast on row as one; when the muffatee is long enough cast off and sew it up.
These muffatees are very pretty, made on fine needles with German wool.
Gentlemen’s Muffatees.
Two needles No. 14, 4 skeins of colored German lambs’-wool and 4 of white.
Cast on 54 stitches; bring the wool forward, slip a stitch, and knit 2 stitches taken together; repeat the same to the end of the row; every row is the same; knit up 1 skein of colored wool, 2 of white, and finish the muffatee with 1 skein of colored wool; sew it up.
These muffatees are also very nice for ladies, to be worn outside the sleeve in very cold weather: they are then knitted with coarse lambs’-wool, the first part done on large needles, the centre on smaller, and the remainder on the large needles again.
Cushion Cover.
This requires 4 needles No. 16, and moderately fine cotton or German lambs’-wool, white or colored, according to fancy.
Cast 100 stitches on each of 2 needles, and 101 on the 3rd; with your 4th needle knit the 2nd stitch, drawing it over the first; knit the 1st stitch, (which will thus stand 2nd); knit the 4th stitch, then the 3rd, the 6th, and 5th, and continue the same all round, when you will find an odd stitch at the end of your needle, slip this stitch on to the next needle, and continue the pattern as before. You will now find an odd stitch at the end of each needle, which you must always slip on to the next needle.
