For this you require six ounces of eight-thread fleecy, and two pair of
pins, No. 1 and No. 10, by the Eagle gauge. Cast on sixty stitches on
the fine pins, and knit six rows, knitting two, and purling two
stitches; then take the larger sized one, and knit thirty rows, putting
the wool twice round the pin; then another piece but only twenty-six
rows, and the third only eighteen rows. Commence always in this manner,
with the fine pins, join them altogether at the part which is ribbed,
and put it on a string.
