_Second row_--purl knitting. _Third row_--wool forward, knit three; wool

as one, and cast over, make one, knit three, make one. _Eighth
row_--purl knitting; there are to be two plain stitches at the beginning
and end of each row, to form an edge; take up the stitches on each ride,
and knit the border in the feather pattern, increasing one stitch at
each end of the rows, to form the corner.
STAR-PATTERN SHAWL,
IN TWO COLOURS.
Cast on four stitches in blue wool. _First row_--wool before the pin,
knit one, wool before, slip one, knit two not together; pass the slipt
stitch over them; repeat this to the end. _Second row_--purl knitting in
claret. _Third row_--game as the first, in blue. _Fourth row_--same as
the second, in claret; repeat these rows until there are one hundred and
eighty stitches on the pin: cast off and finish with a fringe; as the
increasing adds an irregular stitch, some rows will have one, and others
two knitted stitches at the commencement.
