Cast by knitting sixteen stitches, knit plain four rows like a garter,
knit eight stitches, turn and purl four, knitting heel stitch (that
is, plain in front, and purl on the back side), ten times on the four
stitches. Then slip the four stitches from the needle while you take
up the next four, then return them again and knit the remaining four,
turn and knit twelve stitches, then take up the last loop on the roll,
and narrow it off with the first stitch of the last four, then knit the
last three plain. Then knit four rows plain (which makes three rows
of purling on the right side between each roll). Now commence another
roll, same as before. It takes seven ounces of tapestry worsted, or
double zephyr, one ounce to a stripe. Be careful and select colors that
will harmonize together.
