Material: Fine Shetland wool.
[Illustration: 330.--Knitted Veil.]
Illustration 330 represents a knitted veil in reduced size. The original
was worked with fine Shetland wool in an open pattern; it is edged with
a knitted lace. Its length is 24 inches, its width 18 inches. Work the
veil from a paper pattern of a shape corresponding to that of
illustration 330. Compare the paper shape often with the knitting in
the course of the work, and try to keep them alike.
Knit the veil in the pattern of the original, or in the pattern of
illustration 331. For the former one begin at the lower edge of the
veil, cast on 45 stitches upon thick wooden needles, and work the 1st
row: * Knit 2, throw the wool forward, knit 2 together twice, repeat
from *.
2nd row: Purled.
3rd row: Knit 1, throw the wool forward, knit 2 together, * throw the
wool forward, knit 2 together twice, and repeat from *.
4th row: Purled.
5th row: Like the 2nd row. The pattern must be reversed. The pattern
figures increase with the increasings at the beginning and at the end
of each row.
The pattern of illustration 331 consists of the 2 following rows:--1st
row: Slip 1, then alternately throw the wool forward, and knit 2
together.
2nd row: Entirely knitted; make 1 stitch of the wool thrown forward in
the last row. When the veil is finished, wet it, and stretch it over
paper or pasteboard; let it dry, and then edge it with the following
lace:--Cast on 10, knit the 1st.
2nd row: Knit 1, throw the wool forward, knit 9.
3rd row: Knitted.
4th row: Knit 1, throw the wool forward, knit 2, throw the wool forward,
knit 2 together twice, knit 4.
5th row: Knitted.
6th row: Knit 1, throw the wool forward, knit 2, throw the wool forward,
knit 2 together 3 times, knit 3.
7th row: Cast off 3 stitches, knit 10. 8th row: Knitted.

332.--_Knitted Pattern with Raised Embroidery_.
Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s knitting cotton No. 8 or 20.
This pattern is worked in rows going backwards and forwards with thick
or fine cotton according to the use you wish to make of it. The
star-like figures on the knitted squares are worked with soft cotton in
_point de poste_. Cast on a number of stitches long enough (19 stitches
are necessary for the two squares), work the 1st row: * Knit 11
stitches, alternately 4 times knit 2 together, throw the cotton forward.
Repeat from *, The 2nd row is worked like the 1st, only purled, in this
row, as well as in the following ones, the stitch must be knitted with
the cotton thrown forward _after_ the stitch, the last stitch of a plain
square with the first cotton thrown forward of the open-work figure. The
number of stitches in the last must always be 8. The pattern consists
alternately of these two rows. Each pattern contains 12 rows, with the
13th the squares are reversed. The star figures are embroidered with
double cotton by working 5 chain stitch in the middle of each square;
draw the needle underneath the knitting to the next centre of a square.
