Cast on 32 stitches, knit 7 rows common knitting; then begin double
knitting,[106-*] knitting 4 stitches plain on each side for a border,
knit about 24 rows, knit 8 rows plain and then double knitting again;
continue these squares until the piece is long enough. It is very pretty
if the squares are done in different colors.
[106-*] See Contents--Double Knitting. For a blanket it is better
to put the wool twice round the needle in the knitted stitches.
_Netted Lace._
Begin on a straight foundation with a mesh No. 16. Of course the
number of stitches will depend on the length that is wished for.
216 will make about a yard.
Net 24 plain rows. Take a mesh 1/4 of an inch wide, or a trifle wider,
net 3 stitches in the 1st stitch, pass 2 stitches, net 5 stitches in the
next, pass 2, and net 5 stitches in every 3rd stitch to the end of the
row. Take the small mesh and net every stitch you have increased as a
single stitch, and finish with another row on the small mesh.
_Puff Netting._
Very pretty for caps.
Begin your netting on a foundation that will divide by 10. Net 9
stitches, net 9 stitches in the 10th; repeat to the end of the row. Net
3 rows, 1 stitch in _every_ stitch. In the next row (which will make the
5th from the increase), take the first 9 stitches as 1 stitch, net the
following 9 stitches, repeat to the end of the row. Begin again.
_A Cool Night-cap._
Puff netting.
The mesh to be 1/4 inch wide.
Begin on a round foundation of 71 stitches; net 3 plain rounds. In the
4th round, net 5 stitches, net 5 stitches in the 6th stitch; repeat this
all round. Net 2 rounds, netting one stitch in _every_ stitch. In the
next round take the 5 plain stitches as _one_, net 5 stitches, repeat
all round. Begin again with the 4th round (increasing 5 stitches after
the decrease). When the cap is deep enough net one round putting the
cotton twice round the mesh; run a ribbon in at the top and bottom, and
tie the top string tight.
_Suspenders._
Two needles No. 16.
