Woollen Fringe.

(VERY HANDSOME.)

Have some ends ready cut, and cast on 7 stitches.

First row—knit 1, bring the wool forward, knit 2 together; take one of the lengths and double it, hang it on the right-hand needle, knit 2 stitches, bring the double ends of wool forward, knit 1 stitch, put the end back, and knit the last stitch.

Second row—knit every stitch plain, taking up with the 4th stitch the loop of fringe wool, and being careful not to split either of them. Continue to the end of the row plain.

Third row—the same as 1st.

Fourth row—the same as 2nd. Repeat.
