A Chancelière.
Six-thread fleecy, say two colours, blue and drab.—Needles, No. 14.
Cast on forty-two stitches, and knit six, or eight, patterns, (see directions next page), alternately drab and blue, until a piece about twenty-four inches in length be worked. Then—with one colour—knit, in a similar manner, a band about thirty inches in length, and three or four inches wide, to form the sides.
In brioche stitch, work two corresponding pieces, with white, to form the lining. These four pieces are to be wadded, and mounted, in the usual form. The opening for the feet should be edged with a worsted ermine trimming.
The pattern is knitted as follows;—

Fourth row—knit one; slip one;(b) knit two; slip one.—Repeat from (b).
