eff tho cotton but carry IT around as also the yarn
ways knit 8 more than on the previous row, in
knitting the even rows M. A. l.. adds; The mats
NAV be made larger by casting ON 80 stitches and
knitting 81 before make and purl Q together
Then knit 3 instead of before make aud knit
together The result will be Six eyelets ON the edge
instead of four My sister and myself have tried III
vain so far to make the cl0ver-leaf pattern. Is 1t
our stupidity or what is the matteTf Tho only
danger with me is am apt TO spend too mnch time
on the knitting column"
COMMEMORATIVE n. NJ. S. writes that the 10th
row of the lace pattern printed in THH WEEKLY
TRIBUNE of March IL and The SEMI-WEEkLY
TRIBUNE of the 10th should read: "Sllp l; 2
plain; over; narrow; over; narrow plain,
Mrs. j. S. T.. says she tried the same pattern, and
not being able to make it come out right changed IT
thus: | knit the 9th row, over; narrow; 2 plain
over twice; narrow l PLAN; over; narrow; l
plain. This must be correct, for in the OF row the
directions are in the next lOop-loops IL should be
knit and purl one.' The same error was in the
Sch and the 18th rows, where the directions are
knit one and purl One' And in the last row
think that there should always be two stitches
after the over which makes the eyelet-hole.
Sometimes you narrow to make two, and again
there are two plain stitches. think IT is one of the
prettiest patterns that have yet seen"-Mrs. N NJ.
s. is right the marrow" before the last plain stitch
in the last row was omitted, Mrs. j. 5. G. is all
wrong. The 18th, 9Th 9Th, and 18th rows are quite
correct, and the word 'lOOD" should not be loops
The "knit and puTl T. are made INTO one and the
same loop-not into two separate ioops-and the
method of doing this was very fully explained IN
the directions for the 9Th row. IL she VIII only try
r n aHan nO" Sic VIII O' 'u' "A0 ''' 'D'
FRINGE AND SOFA PILLOW" Farmers Dangh-
ter" says she would like to ask Is. h. w. how she
makes the fringe for her knitted tidy, and also
fringe not knitted She adds: ITO those desiring
still another pattern for making sofa-pillow l
would say that my attempt at crOchetting ono
cording TO the directions given for the HIt-0T-nIss
Afghan has been successful and promises 20 be
very rCh-lOOkIng. Of course, the number OF rows
in stripe should be less for sota-pillow than for
an afghan and the width Of the stripe in proportion
to the size of the pillow"
