[Illustration: NO. 12. TOE.]
No. 12.—This toe is worked as follows: Narrow after every 7 stitches,
in the first round to be narrowed. Then knit 7 rounds plain. Narrow
in the following round after every 6 stitches. Knit 6 rounds plain.
Narrow in the next round after every 5 stitches. Knit 5 rounds plain.
Continue working in such manner, always knitting 1 stitch less
between the narrowings in every new round which is to be narrowed,
and always knitting after every round narrowed the same number of
plain rounds as the number of stitches knitted between the narrowings
of this last round narrowed.

No. 13.—Before beginning to decrease this toe, divide the stitches
evenly on 4 needles. Then narrow at the beginning of every needle;
slip the first stitch, knit the next one, and draw the slipped stitch
over the knitted one. After _each_ of the first 4 narrowed rounds
knit 4 rounds plain. After _each_ of the next 4 narrowed rounds knit
3 rounds plain. After _each_ of the following 4 narrowed rounds knit
2 rounds plain, and after _each_ of the following 4 narrowed rounds
knit 1 round plain. Then continue to narrow at the beginning of every
needle to end of toe.
[Illustration: NO. 14. TOE.]
No. 14.—The narrowing of this toe is done as follows: Divide equally
on 4 needles the number of stitches. Then begin the first round of
narrowing by purling 2 together at the beginning of every needle.
This round is followed by 4 rounds plain. In all the narrowing
rounds that follow the first one, decrease once on each side of
the preceding narrowing. After every narrowed round knit 4 rounds
plain. Knit in all, 11 narrowing rounds. Then finish off the toe
by narrowing only once at the end of _each_ needle, by slipping 1
stitch, knitting the next, and drawing the slipped stitch over the
knitted one.
