Commence with the pattern of the border by casting on one hundred
stitches for the width of the scarf; No. 4 pins and Shetland wool are
required. _First row_--knit two together four times, bring the wool
forward, and knit one eight times, knit two as one four times, purl one,
repeat to the end of the row. _Second row_--purled. _Third row_--plain.
_Fourth row_--purled; repeat from the first row, until the pattern is
about fourteen inches deep. Commence the centre as follows (this is done
in white wool--the borders in shades). _First row_--plain knitting
before beginning the pattern. _First row_ of the pattern, wool before,
slip one, knit one, pass the slip stitch over, knit one, purl one;
repeat to the end of the row. _Second and following rows_--repeat, every
row being alike; both ends of the scarf are to be made the same, by
reversing the knitting of the border; they may be finished with a red
knitted or netted fringe of the same wool doubled twice.
