In the middle of each rosette sew on a tatted circle of grey wool. The
edge of the antimacassar is ornamented with a grey woollen fringe. For
each rosette cast on 6 stitches with violet wool, and knit 12 rows
backwards and forwards in such a manner that the work is knitted on one
side and purled on the other: the first of these 12 rows is purled, the
first stitch of every row is slipped; * then take the first five
selvedge stitches of the knitted part on a separate needle (on the side
where the end of wool hangs down, leaving it unnoticed for the present),
inserting the needle into the back chain of the stitch (the selvedge
stitch which is next to the cast-on stitch remains, therefore, unworked
upon), and knit on these a new part, which must have 13 rows; the first
row is knitted, and in this row work 2 stitches in the first stitch, one
purled and one knitted, so that this new part is equally six stitches
wide. Repeat 8 times more from *. After having worked several parts, the
stitches can, of course, be taken on the same needle, so as not to
increase the number of needles.
