A Bag, with Black or Garnet Beads.
Reading edition
No. 20 needles, eight skeins of netting silk, and four bunches of beads, including those for the fringe, will be required.
Thread half a bunch of beads on a skein of claret netting silk, and cast on eighty-eight stitches.
First and second rows—plain knitting, without beads.
Third row—slip one; knit one with a bead; knit one.—Repeat the same, alternately, to the end of the row.
Repeat from first row, eighty-four times. Observe at the commencement of every row to make a slip-stitch.
Join up the two sides, leaving an opening at the top, and finish with two bars and a gold chain. A fringe of the garnet beads, with gold points, is the prettiest trimming. It should have a stiff lining.
