German Pattern of Open Double Knitting, both Sides alike.
Large wooden pins are required for this pattern, which is done
in double or eight-threaded wool, in 5 colours that contrast
well--claret, gold colour, blue, white, scarlet; and 4 rows of
each, worked in the order they are here placed. Cast on 71
stitches.
First row:--Seam 1, make 1, slip 1: this row is only to begin
with, and is not repeated, the whole of the knitting being done
as the
Second row:--Seam 2 together, make 1, by passing the wool
round the pin, slip 1, and repeat. At the end of the row, if
correctly knitted, there will be 1 stitch, which seam. When the
colours have been repeated 6 times, the cover will be the proper size.
To finish it round, work fringe No. 2, work claret for the head,
and put in two lengths of each colour in the fringe.
