--_Knee-cap in Knitting._
Materials: For 1 pair, 4 oz. pink 4-thread fleecy wool, and a small
quantity of white ditto.
Begin each knee-cap by casting on with pink wool 114 stitches, equally
divided upon 4 needles, and joining them into a circle. Upon this number
of stitches work 47 rounds, alternately knitting and purling 2 stitches.
In the 48th round begin the gore which covers the knee; it is worked
separately backward and forwards, always alternately knitting and
purling 2 stitches.
[Illustration: 322.--Knee-cap in Knitting.]
After 2 rows change the pattern, so as to form small squares Knit the
first row of this gore upon 26 stitches slipped off from the last row on
to a separate needle. At the end of each following row knit the nearest
stitch of the nearest needle, so as to increase 1 stitch in each row of
the gore.
Continue in this way until only 42 stitches remain of the ribbed part.
After this work the remainder of the gore separately, decreasing once at
the beginning and end of each row till only 26 stitches remain; then
take up 23 stitches of the selvedge on each side of these 26 stitches,
and work 47 rounds, alternately knitting and purling 2 stitches.
