346 to 348.--Knitted Shawl.
Materials Shetland wool, white and scarlet; steel needles.
This shawl is knitted in the patterns given on Nos. 346 and 347. Both illustrations show the patterns worked in coarse wool, so as to be clearer. Begin the shawl, which is square, on one side, cast on a sufficient number of stitches (on our pattern 290); the needles must not be too fine, as the work should be loose and elastic.
Knit first 2 rows plain, then 3 of the open-work row of pattern No. 346, which is worked in the following manner:--
1st row: Slip the first stitch, * knit 2 together, inserting the needle into the back part of the stitch, slip 1, knit 2 together, throw the wool twice forward; repeat from *.
