[Illustration: 567.--Guipure Pattern for Jewel Case (No. 566).]

568.--_Parasol Cover in Guipure d'Art. (Seepage 580.)_
Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Mecklenburg thread No. 20, and
cotton No. 80.
For working this cover, one part of which is shown in our illustration
two-thirds of its full size, work first a straight strip of netting for
the foundation, which must count as many holes in width as are required
for the width of the covering. The size of the holes depends on the size
of the knitting-needle or mesh which you use. The pattern is worked with
cotton No. 80, over a steel knitting-needle which measures two-fifths of
an inch round. Begin the strip in one corner. Cast on 2 stitches, and
work in rows backwards and forwards, increasing 1 stitch at the end of
every row, till you have 1 stitch more than the stripe is to have holes
in width, on our pattern 68 stitches; then work 1 row on the same number
of stitches, and then increase alternately 1 stitch at the end of 1 row,
and decrease 1 at the end of the next, till the strip is 250 stitches
long.
