Cast on ten stitches, knit two plain, put your worsted in front and
narrow all the rest, but knit the last stitch plain; that is, put your
thread in front and narrow two together, till there are two left; then
put your thread in front and knit one stitch; then the last one plain;
knit back plain; then knit three stitches, and the same as before, only
add a stitch every other time across, till you have nineteen stitches;
then knit twice plain, and knit eight, and narrow; then put your
thread in front and narrow four times; knit last stitch plain always,
knit back always plain; decrease one every other time till you have
ten, then knit a plain row to join your other color. All the scallops
are knit the same, and it needs thirty-two blocks of edging to go round
the blanket. The colored point of each corner must be gathered up to
the point close, thus making the white come on each side of the colored
square.
It takes eight ounces of common zephyr worsted, four ounces of each
color.
This enlarged, makes very handsome carriage blankets, with a palm leaf
worked in each square; but instead of a knitted border, it is better to
tie in a heavy fringe of worsted.
