Shawl.
Reading edition
This is quite easy work. It is very soft and warm, and is meant to take the place of 34 a long first cloak. It is all plain knitting with a good border.
You require 1½ lb. of white Berlin fingering wool and long wooden pins, No. 3.
Cast on 1 stitch and increase at the end of every row until the knitting measures 1 yard and 5 inches deep, then decrease by knitting the last 2 in every row together, until you have only 2. Cast them off.
Border.—Work 1 round of double crochet.
2nd round. 1 long treble (wool twice round the hook), 1 chain, miss 1. Repeat.
3rd round. Do 2 rounds of fan-pattern (page 16 of The Lady’s Crochet-Book, third Series). Increase at the corners.
6th round. Work 8 treble into a hole, miss a hole, 1 single into the next, and so on to make a scallop.
Run a thick cream satin ribbon all round the shawl in the spaces left by the long treble.
