To make up a small muff you must buy 5-8ths of gros-de-naples, 1-1/2 oz. of fine carded wool and 1 oz. of fine horse-hair. Double the silk in halves and place on it 1 layer of wool. 1 layer of horse-hair and a second layer of wool. Quilt these to one-half of the silk and fold the other half over, and sew it to the knitted cover; turn the muff inside out and sew up first the knitted part and then the silk. Finish the muff at the edges by a cord or a quilling of ribbon. _Another Muff._ Two needles No. 10 and 3 skeins of coarse fleecy. Cast on sixty stitches. Knit 1 row; rib 1 row; knit 1 row taking 2 stitches together all the way. 4th row; knit 1 stitch, pick up and knit a loop between the stitches, continue the same to the end of the row. As by this you would lose 1 stitch, this must be prevented by picking up and knitting a loop alternately, before beginning or at the end of every 4th row. Make up the muff like the preceding pattern. TERMS USED IN KNITTING. _A turn_ means two rows. _To turn_ means to change from plain to purled stitches, or the reverse. _A ridge_ is formed by two rows when knitting with only two pins. _A loop stitch_ is formed by passing the thread before the needle, and, in _knitting_ the next stitch, letting it take its usual place. _To increase in knitting a Quilt_, care should always be taken to increase by knitting twice through the last stitch, which is done by knitting a stitch, and then, without taking out the needle, knitting a second at the back. _To fasten on in knitting._ It is a secure fastening to lay the two ends contrary-wise to each other, and knit a few stitches with them both. _To narrow_ or _decrease_ is to make small, to lessen, as in shaping a stocking. _Ribbed stitch_, _purl stitch_, _turned_, or _seam stitch_, are all terms having the same meaning. A turned stitch is made by bringing the cotton before the needle, and instead of putting the needle over the upper cotton, it is put under. _To slip_, _take off_, or _pass a stitch_, is to change it from one needle to another without knitting it. _To take under_, means to pass the right hand needle through the stitch on the left hand one, so as still to keep the same side of the stitch towards you. _Welts_ are the rounds of ribbed stitches done at the top of stockings, to prevent their rolling up. _Cast off_ means to end your work in the following manner: knit 2 stitches, pass the first over the second, and continue the same until you have but one left, which is finished by passing your cotton through it. _To decrease_ is to lessen the number of stitches by knitting 2 taken together.
