Beeton, Mrs. Isabella Mary, 1836-1865

"Beeton's Book of Needlework"

After the 7th round, the
remaining stitches are cast off together as 1 stitch. Then fasten the
wool and cut it off. Lastly, sew the rosettes and squares together from
No. 320 for a cover, and edge it round the border with a fringe of grey
wool.

[Illustration: 321.--Knitted Border.]
321.--_Knitted Border._
Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s No. 10 or No. 50 knitting
cotton.
If knitted with thick cotton, this border will be suitable for trimming
a quilt or berceaunette cover; if, on the contrary, fine cotton is used,
the pattern will form a very pretty collar for a little boy or girl.
To make a collar, begin by a chain of 220 stitches, and work 6 rows
backwards and forwards alternately, knitting 4 stitches and purling 2.
In the 2nd, 4th, and 6th rows the 4 stitches are purled, and the 2 are
knitted.
7th row: * Purl 2, make 1, knit 2, purl 2. Repeat from *.
8th row: Alternately purl 5, knit 2. All the rows with _even_ numbers
are knitted like this, except that the number of the knitted stitches
are increased by 2 in each of them.
