298.--_Spiral Stitch_.
Materials: Needles, thick steel or bone; double wool.
This stitch is far more effective worked in thick wool than in cotton.
It is done in stripes alternately wide and narrow. For wide stripes cast
on twenty-one stitches, for narrow fifteen; this without counting the
first and last stitch, the first being slipped, the last always plainly
knitted.
1_st Row_.--Purl 3 together to end of row.
2_nd Row_.--Make 1, * 1 plain, make 2, repeat from * end by making the
last stitch before the plain knitted one at end of row.

299.--_Knotted Stitch_.
Materials: Needles, wood or ivory; double wool.
Cast on 11 stitches.
1_st Row_.--All plain, throwing the wool twice round the needle before
each stitch.
2_nd Row_.--Each stitch on the needle is now composed of 3 threads of
wool: knit the first plain, the second purl, the third plain; cast off
the second over the third, and the first over the second; this leaves
but one stitch; repeat from first row until a sufficient length is
obtained.
