Cast on thirty-six stitches, scarlet German wool; two rows of red;
sixteen rows of white; narrow, by taking two together, on the
seventeenth and twenty-first rows; knit thirteen more rows, then divide
the stitches into three, viz.:--ten, twelve, and ten: knit twenty rows
on the middle needle, which has the twelve stitches, and bind, or cast
them off; take up the front, as you would a stocking heel, and make
twelve stitches beyond; knit two rows narrowing at the toe, every other
row; this is to be repeated six times, and then at the heel, still
narrowing the same in front, till you have only sixteen stitches which
bind off, take up the red stitches in front, catching one white one each
time, till the other side is like the first; you may introduce open
stitches on the instep, and round the leg.
