Cast on seven stitches, slip the first, bring the cotton forward, and
knit two together twice, then put the needle into the last stitch,
without drawing it out, until you have wound the cotton round two
fingers three times, the whole of which must be taken together as one
stitch; knit the last stitches back row plain knitting.
KNITTED BAG,
WITH BLACK, GARNET, OR STEEL BEADS.
Thread half a bunch of beads on a skein of coarse netting silk, and cast
on eighty-eight stitches. _First and second row_ plain knitting without
beads. _Third row_--slip one, knit one with a bead, knit one to the end
of the row; repeat from first row eighty-four times; observe, at the
commencement of every row, to make a slipt stitch; join up the two
sides, leaving an opening at the top, and finished with two bars and a
gold or steel chain, a fringe of the garnet beads, with gold points; it
should have a stiff lining. No. 16 pins, eight skeins of silk, and four
bunches of beads, including those required for the fringe, will be
wanted.
